Strider Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hi David Finally remembered to check thru the Photo section for a change...glad I did. Good work as usual. I'm assuming these are someone else's photos and not yours personally? I ask because I notice there are none from the violin bow/laser section of the show, nor from No Quarter, and I was curious as to whether photos from those parts of the show didn't exist or if the photographer was holding them back? Also, looking at my 1977 tour program, I notice the band's clothes look like what they're wearing here. Was the tour program put together before the tour started, and if so, where were the photos used in the program taken? Manticore studios perhaps? Jones especially looks like he's wearing the exact same outfit as the first night in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones especially looks like he's wearing the exact same outfit as the first night in Chicago. No most of these photos are just ones I have found on the internet etc. And you are correct. I think the tour program for 1977- the majority of the pics come from Dallas, Oklahoma and the shows in Chicago. I do not know if it was put on sale for the that first leg of the tour or during the second leg but all the pics are from early in the tour as Jimmy is not wearing the the white dragon pants yet- just plain white pants. From what I have been able to determine- he didn't wear the white dragon pants until the first show in Cinncinatti 4-19-77. As for pics from the violin bow, No Quarter etc there are some coming up in the next Chicago threads I will be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDog71 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Being from the Chicago-land area, these pictures make me wish I could have been alive and old enough to go to one of the shows at the Stadium. If those are pics from the show, I envy whoever got to be that close to snap some of those amazing shots. Great post David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Great shots that bring back memories from that show. I was able to see all 4 shows in Chicago that year and being there on opening night was a huge thrill. I bought a copy of the tour guide that night, so the photos in that program were from Dallas or Oklahoma City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgeholder Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Nice pics, Davidzoso. I must give another listen to Ten Years Gone, I forgot that Jones didn't have his three-necked-beast yet, so these early versions probably sound better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of these photos were taken by Neal Preston who got to go further than any other photographer -he had access to lots of cool backstage shots as well. Great shots that bring back memories from that show. I was able to see all 4 shows in Chicago that year and being there on opening night was a huge thrill. I bought a copy of the tour guide that night, so the photos in that program were from Dallas or Oklahoma City. Not saying you didn't buy a program at that Chicago show-but Bonzo didn't wear that white long sleeve fake tuxedo t-shirt at either the Dallas or Oklahoma show. So some of those photos are from Chicago in fact 2 pics in this thread are from the 1977 US tour program- one for The Song Remains the Same and one for Stairway to Heaven. Maybe you got a bootleg program. I have a reproduction program and it is just like the one you can look at on Sam's timeline on here. My cousin saw the Largo 5-26-77 show and he got a t-shirt that I have never seen anyone else have, It is just like the other Led Zep 1977 tour shirts with the the name and United States of America 1977 tour on it with the Swan Song guy BUT instead of the Swan Song guys head it has both Robert Plant's and Jimmy Page's head where the Swan Song guys head would go. It is bizarre. So they had bootleg shirts for sure and I am sure they had bootleg programs. After looking some more- these following pics are from the second night in Chicago-4-7-77 Moby Dick Moby Dick Moby Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only been 34 years. It wasn't Saturday or Sunday because we were partying, filming and recording the shows. No time for program purchases. I do recall at how quickly the tour program was produced from so few shows. It was a legitimate program as many others had the exact same item and was purchased in the interior of the Chicago Stadium. Remember Peter Grant was still lurking about and in fact I saw him at the shows watching from Jimmy's sidefills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutrocker Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 At the moment I'm listening to this show for the first time in ages...it's better than I remember it being. I take back my comments about it still having that OKC 'live rehearsal' vibe...well, maybe for the crew ("There's an acoustic guitar on this song, gents, so TURN THE BLOODY THING UP!!!" ) but it's not a bad gig a'tall.

Chicago Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Listen to Bonzo's drum solo at thiis gig. It was concise and riveting. Much better than those later on the tour. It reminds me of the 1975 Chicago version of Moby Dick. Strong stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZ77 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 ^ cool pic! Thanks Sam. I love to see stuff like that. Btw, is there footage of the 1971 Peter Grant Interview you can put in the video section? I saw the new photos added to the Photo section - that is where I always go first. /sorry to go off topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagittarius Rising Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I was at the final show, April 10th, 1977. I still can't believe my parents let my cousin take me and my brother, the whole thing was surreal. The whole family was together for Easter and out of the blue my cousin (20 years older) tells everyone he has to leave by 6 because of the concert, and oh, by the way, he had two extra tickets and wanted to take me and my bro. We pretty much shit ourselves. I had never been to a concert before being only 9 years old and I was always up for new experiences, plus, this was Zeppelin. I had gotten into them only about a year before through my brother and cousin. The show was amazing!!! I remember it like it was yesterday. I also remember me asking my cousin to buy me one of the real cool tour t-shirts and I would pay him back. He looked at me and said, "you're lucky I brought you, don't push your luck you selfish little shit." I just laughted, you had to know my cousin Tommy, he was a riot.

Daeron Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Weren't they supposed to do a couple more Chicago shows after playing the New Orleans Superdome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And You Know How It Is? Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Weren't they supposed to do a couple more Chicago shows after playing the New Orleans Superdome? Yes, and one of them was supposed to be an "all request" show, per Pagey, as a makeup to fans for the 60 minute aborted April 9, 1977 Chicago show! How I wished it would have happened, just because of Jimmy making that "all request" statement to make up for his "food poisoning" on April 9. There wasn't much flexibility in the set list for the tour in '77 (outside the occassional OTHAFA for IMTOD, Heartbreaker rarely, Black Dog a couple of times and Communication Breakdown once in LA...and oh yes, the impromtu jazz piece in the middle of BYAS in Seattle), and with Jimmy playing erratically that tour, what "all request" songs would they have played in Chicago? A mystery for sure that unfortunately didn't get to happen!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
