Go to around to 5:02. Is that a real photo or did someone do some photoshop action?

It is, indeed, quite real.

ca. June 1979. Photo by Kate Simon.

No that's a genuine picture I believe. I think I've seen that one somewhere before. Jimmy's wearing white shorts, rather than boxers. I guess he must have been pretty hot on stage that night!

That was actually a rehearsal, not during a concert.

The picture was taken in Bray Studios prior to the Knebworth Festival, according to the book "On tour with Led Zeppelin" by Howard Mylett (page 136/137)

Has anyone actually seen any of the footage that was shot during those rehearsals?

[hecube]

I wonder if this pic made it in his book...

[jabe]

It was a Chippendale audition. Jimmy, was exploring potantial options...

[Led Hed]

Looks like someone unwrapped their presents early...

That was my avatar for two years on the old forum. Bray studios I believe. And they aren't boxers (underwear), they're shorts.

(Ooops sorry MFTA you beat me to that! ) xx

I actually always wondered about the sleeve of this bootleg how warm it was during this photoshoot (most likely photoshopped but anyway, we now finally see how a Led Zeppelin looks like)

You may supersize the image if you please.

Actually I think it did- if you watch Rick Barrett's YouTube video of him unwrapping the book, he flips through a few pages & there's one that sure looks like that pic.(at 5:41).

Bray Studios? The same Bray Studios where Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing starred in all those Hammer horror movies of the 1950s and 1960s?
