Geezer Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 It's a collection of Ratner's photos published as a book and later converted into an iPad app. Does any of you own either the book or the app? I'm looking for photos from the May 4, 1973 concert and that book/app is purported to contain them.http://www.ledzeppelinlivedreamsapp.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I have it but I don't believe it has any of those photos. Great app, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayougal65 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I just looked at my app and there is a list of performances. Atlanta May 4, 1973 is listed... I haven't looked through the photos to confirm (there are so many) but like i said, it is listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 It's listed but I don't think there are any photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayougal65 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I think you are correct LZF! I skimmed through and didn't see any marked Atlanta... But I saw some that just said "73" no place and no other date... Too bad there isn't a search function. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I have a first edition of the book; from memory most of the photos are from Midwestern shows (he was a Chicago-based photographer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thanks, Steve. Have you ever come across any photos from that concert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZepLove Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 There were actually just a couple of Jimmy from Atlanta '73 in LIVE DREAMS. Ratner was directed to use the path from the International Hotel, right into the backstage area, leading up to the giant staircase at the back of the stage. Everybody else, it seemed, took a different route to the roped-off grassy area in front of the stage. Ratner found himself on the side of the stage pretty much alone with Ahmet Ertegun and some young female (perhaps Ahmet's niece?). He refrained from taking too many photos, so as not to seem too conspicuous. He talks about it in the book and App. It never seems to get discussed, but in Atlanta '73, there was giant video screens at the back of the stage. (Black & White). Perhaps nothing was recorded, as no video from that show has ever surfaced or been released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thanks, Steve. Have you ever come across any photos from that concert? There are seven photos as well as press coverage here: http://www.ledzeppelin.com/show/may-4-1973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Yeah, I know of those photos. I'm just looking for a clear shot of the stage. Here's one more: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 ^ That's not Atlanta, because of Bonham's symbol on the bass drum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Then what concert is it from? I think Bonzo's shirt is a match.What about Chicago? The stage looks very similar.http://www.ledzeppelin.com/show/july-6-1973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Interesting. I just checked every concert from 1973 that Ratner attended and none of those match the clothing scheme the band is wearing in the Ratner photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 It's never been confirmed that it's Ratner's photo. In fact, now I'm pretty sure it wasn't taken by Ratner.Any thoughts on Chicago 1973? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 It's in Live Dreams, so it was taken by Ratner. I checked Chicago and Bonham was wearing a bandana and the spider web shirt. However, all of the photos listed under the 7th say that they could be from any of the two nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Sometimes words have two meanings, in this case "taken". Led Zeppelin.com has credited the photo to Arlo Forbes. Uncertain if that is a photo credit or a contribution credit. It's in Live Dreams, so it was taken by Ratner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I'm referring to the picture that Geezer posted of Robert and Jimmy bowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I have no reason to doubt that one is a Laurence Ratner shot, and probably one of the Chicago shows. I believe he is on FB and may respond to an inquiry concerning his work or his book. I'm referring to the picture that Geezer posted of Robert and Jimmy bowing.

ledzepfilm Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 The photos on the LZ site prove this wrong. It would have to be the 7th because on the 6th Bonzo wears a bandana and the spider shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZepLove Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 This shot is from Dazed and Confused. It's from one of the two Chicago '73 shows. Appears in that section in the book. Also in the 'Cornerstones' section in the iPad/iPhone App. Note the Watermarked Copyright... That's one cool part of the App, is that you can email and therefore, download any of the photos. Except you also get the watermark. No biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
