FireOpal Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Here are some cool pictures you don't see too often. Hey Joey, love that wonderful photo of Yardie Jimmy wearing a sweater (jumper if you're British) - that's some nascent nerd chic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come from Charles Gatewood's site, which I didn't know existed. He was the photographer. You're very welcome. Suffice to say, he is stunning in them all!

PlanetPage Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Thanks AEN27, He didn't forget to wear his scarf.........with a Tea Cup in hand/that deadly scarf, he is the Aristocrat English Rock Star, as I remember him from my younger days (this is how he was portrait in Press)...that time period early'75 is so very special to me, as I was beginning to discover his beautiful images... Here is a link from Stephen Davis LZ-75 - He mentions that a photographer was on duty to capture the moment..... "Also on hand was a photographer to document the interview:" http://www.disinfo.com/2010/10/jimmy-page-meets-william-burroughs-in-new-york-city/ p.s. I should post his picture though...

FireOpal Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) He's been sort of a chameleon, hasn't he? He cultivated an almost feminine look back then, very alluring. But hell, even when he was spectrally thin and had a few rotten teeith in the early 80's, he still somehow looked really good. The boy can't help it, he's just gorgeous. EDIT: for fux sake, why is this font so tiny... I didn't touch nuffing. Edited October 24, 2011 by FireOpal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Jimmy's look has always been very different Late Sixties: 1970: , 1971 (young santa clause): 1972: 1973: 1974: 1975: 1976: 1977: 1978: 1979: 1980's: compare 1971 to 1977 look how much he changed in just 6 years, they look like different people!

DavidZoso Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 ...Alice75, Thank you to You and your Friend for researching this Title, I came across quite a few, and I will order this now that I know the availability..... ..tks to Original Posters.... This is a great pic that I had never seen. Very cool shot before Jimmy staps on the doubleneck to play the opening number-The Song Remains the Same. But I do have to say that the properties for this pic say Dallas 1977 and it is not Dallas '77 as Jimmy didn't wear the white dragon pants but wore white plain pants and he also didn't wear sun glasses or the scarf at that opening show. I don't know which show this is from but it is from the second leg of the 1977 tour as John Paul Jones wore the all white outfit at all of those shows. He did wear the white sailors top at some of the 1st leg's shows but he wore red pants etc-not white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you DZoso, I really enjoy all of your insights into these mystery photos, I will attach the link where I found this photo, I should have earlier...and now on, I will confirm with your insights before posting as well.... it is rather difficult to ID the photos of the White Dragon Suit, for me anyways, ..from my understanding the poppy/embroidery was added when the tour had progressed (quite early into the '77 tour, but when/what month?)...The Dragons were already there, as Jimmy was now to have the white Dragon suit, in addition to the Black Dragon suit already in 1975... Further, there are the plain white satin pants he is pictured in..... I am sorry, it is all too confusing... really appreciative of your hard work...thanks again much.... photo source link: http://my.opera.com/samm10/albums/showpic.dml?album=1569101&picture=21355461 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireOpal Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Jimmy's look has always been very different. Compare 1971 to 1977 look how much he changed in just 6 years, they look like different people! Is right. He must have been under enormous pressure and it took its toll. Someone on here mentioned that JP didn't even start smoking until he was almost 30, and when you think what he was doing/what he looked like within 3-4 years of that... P.S. Thank you for including the photo of Jimmy in his tartan trousers. I was searching all over for jpg's of those infamous slacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSo1960 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 1982 Okay that photo is awesome, with the famous Tapestry behind him. I wonder what it actually went for when it was auctioned off a few years back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aen27 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 1982 It's at Old Mill House, and yes it is the Holy Grail tapestry that Jimmy sold. Thanks for the P/P picture of them laughing. I have never seen it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstork Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 1980 Great pic, am I the only one who's never seen a picture of Jimmy wearing a cross? Also, is that a young Dave Lewis with him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey1985 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I was just about to ask that same thing, why is Jimmy wearing a cross? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry, it is all too confusing... really appreciative of your hard work...thanks again much.... photo source link: http://my.opera.com/...icture=21355461 after studying photos etc of the 1977 tour for close to 30 years I have come up with the following answers. Jimmy had the white dragon top with poppy flower and dragon on the back from the start of the tour in Dallas April 1, 1977 but didn't wear the white dragon pants until the first show in Cincinatti April 19, 1977. All show previous to that show he wore the plain white pants. All shows after that Cincinatti 4-19-77 show he wore the full the white dragon top and pants except at the last New York show on 6-14-77 and the San Diego show on 6-19-77 he wore the white dragon top and plain white pants again. Then in Largo, Maryland 5-28-77 , Los Angeles 6-22-77( he changed into the full white dragon suit after Moby Dick for remainder of show), and Oakland 7-23-77 shows he wore the black dragon suit. The Chicago 4-10-77 show he wore the what has been called the 'Stormtrooper' outfit but I disagree and think he was going for the WW 1 aircraft pilot outfits like the Red Baron. Then after Moby Dick he changed into the white dragon top and plain white pants for the remainder of the show. Tempe 7-20-77 Black dragon pants, black t-shirt and white scarf. last show in the US Oakland 7-24-77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here I am wearing Hugo Boss" ...Designer Hugo Boss at one time manufactured uniforms for the Regime...however, clearly Page is making a fashion Statement as for Designer Label...that's my conclusion... http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu141/planetPage_bucket/Jimmy1977Bow.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
