LedZep342 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Soon after led Zeppelin received a letter of appreciation from the mayor at the Hiroshima Municipal Office, they visited Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, everyone brought along their cameras. They visited the Peace Memorial Museum as well, located at the Peace Memorial Park. It was reported that John Paul Jones couldn't find words, and Jimmy was cryingwhen he saw the extensive damage that atomic bomb created. Jimmy Page was very much enthralled during his first visit to this library. Here are some photos of the event in chronological order: This event was recorded on Jimmy's newly acquired Super 8 cine-camera: If anyone is too come across any miscellaneous items recorded at this event please feel free to share it here.

Texas Melanie Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Those have to be the most un-masculine jeans that Jimmy wore in these photos. Oh well.... Is it true that the band had just purchased the camera equipment at the beginning of this tour of Japan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZep342 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Melanie, I know they all purchased the camera equipment in Japan as Plant recalled. And Sam thanks for contributing the bottom photo from this event! Hopefully John, Phil, and Peter's film will be released someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadScreamingGallery Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Jimmy briefly mentioned his visit to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park on his On This Day for September 27. He selected Penderecki's Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima as the background music for the film footage he shot that day. http://forums.ledzeppelin.com/index.php?/topic/16164-jimmy-page-on-this-day-archive/page__st__820__p__542686#entry542686 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZep342 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Looks like Page's shot of Bonzo didn't make it in Page's film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZep342 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 A question: 342, why are you obsessed with Led Zeppelin offstage in Japan? I'm not obsessed with Led Zeppelin offstage in Japan, I just have an interest in their Japan '71 tour. I do however have an obsession of the Japan offstage roadie 8mm film, and would very much like to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It's a boring 8mm film, with no concert footage. What is so special. You have about half of it, be happy with what you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's your opinion, I personally like offstage film. I am happy with what I have, besides the full film will circulate eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
