If there were an official movie made about the band, this would have to be the movie poster. One of my faves, too. I also dig the color pic from Robert from this march LA 1970 show used as the cover for the Japan single release of Immigrant Song/out on the tiles but the Zep photo I think captured them best, is this one I first saw in a magazine....would love to have it in better resolution Quote
duckman Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Probably by Jeffrey Mayer ( he shot most of his forum 73 pics from this angle) but not in his rock music archive, so I can't be sure Edited April 2, 2018 by duckman Quote
Decker70 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Absolutely one of my favorites. Its nice to see them just enjoying themselves, especially Bonzo with his big smile. Quote

Photographers will often use "stimuli" behind the camera to induce reactions from the subjects. Who knows what was in the field that day with the band and the photog. Nude ladies? Richard Cole dropping his pants? The possibilities are endless! Quote

There is also another cheeky pic from this photo session where old Robert has his nickers down and his frank & beans are hanging loose for all to see. Quote

I wonder who said what in the photo by Jim Marshall. Just look at Plant's smirk. Quote
Mikelangelo Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 Led Zeppelin were (or should we say was?) a photogenetic band 😛 I think Led fared pretty well in most of the groupshots. Many bands tend to look grumpy (which they may be) or just plain non-interested... Quote

So true, most bands look like they are either posing for a group mug shot or are staring out at the distance trying to look pensive and deep. Quote

The Marquee shots included in the 2014 Super Deluxe book have all four members in different outfits than the two circulating color shots of the band at the Marquee. Additionally, Bonham's hair is very close to what it looked like in September 1968 compared to his hair in January 1969. Excerpt from the strip of negatives from the (presumed) October Marquee show: Better look at Page's outfit at the (now presumed) October Marquee show (not the green psychedelic shirt in the new shot): The other known December 10, 1968 shot (note the matching outfits with the new color shot, but not the black and white pics) Bonham in Sweden on Sept 15, 1968: And finally, Bonham's (much longer) hair in January 1969: In any case, Sam, would it be possible to see the rest of the set?

We've gone back and forth on the dates when we did the super-deluxe box set, official books etc. There's a few live pics of JP with that lighter shirt but RP is still wearing that dark sweater on stage, not the white sweater he has on backstage. A few pics actually show JP changing into his white shirt. Also, there's live pics from the b&w set that exactly match the new color pics I have and the color one above. There are other reasons I believe the new color pics are from Dec. that I'll get into another time. Bonham is shown backstage with a fresh scar on his face after being cut by a cymbal during the show. I thought I recall hearing it was the December show when this occurred. I'll have to find that reference again but if it was December, the pics of JP with the white shirt aren't October. Quote

This would seem to answer your question. Looks like Plant was wearing a black cardigan(?) over the white sweater: Quote

In the Led Zeppelin photo book (with backstage pics) it documents the photo as Oct 18, 1968. Quote

The backstage pics are certainly from October but I'm inclined to say the blurry and clear color shots are both from December. Edited September 12, 2021 by ledzepfilm Quote

This does not provide a conclusive answer one way or the other, but when The Who performed at The Marquee on December 17th 1968 (ten days after Led Zeppelin) the stage was decorated with what appears to be green red and white holiday season streamers.

Electrophile Posted December 17, 2021 Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) I'm didn't read through all four pages of this thread, but this picture has always jumped out at me as one of the best band photos I've seen. Now, if we're talking about Led Zeppelin on stage, this is one of my favorites: It's hard to find good pictures of all four them on stage. Photographers tended to focus on Page/Plant, and to a lesser extent, Page/Plant/Jones. Edited December 17, 2021 by Electrophile Quote
