Hackenbush Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Hi,Just came across this pic of JPJ. Can anyone tell me the venue and photographer? Also out of curiosity, how many triple neck setups did JPJ use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 It would help if there was a wider frame to the photo. The photo is so tight you cannot see what Bonham is wearing or see possible architectural details of the venue that might help determine the "where".It is definitely from the second-leg of the 1977 U.S. tour, as that is when John Paul Jones started using his Andy Manson-built triple-neck acoustic. I am ruling out the third-leg dates because the Oakland ones were in daylight outdoors, and it isn't Seattle because Jones has bangs in that show, which leads me to conclude he had bangs for the other third-leg shows, obviously cutting his hair during the break between the second and third legs. Which would rule out Tempe, AZ, too.It basically comes down to narrowing the dates to which concerts on the second-leg did JPJ wear the all-white outfit...which, to my memory, seemed to be often.As to your last question, this was the only triple-neck instrument JPJ used in Led Zeppelin. It was used for "Ten Years Gone" and the acoustic set, which always followed "TYG" on the 1977 tour. JPJ used the 6- and 12-string necks for "TYG", the 6-string neck for "Battle of Evermore", and the top mandolin neck for "Going to California". That was that...for "Black Country Woman"/"Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp" he moved to the upright bass.In 1979, for the Copenhagen warmups and Knebworth, he only used the triple-neck for "Ten Years Gone". By the 1980 tour, it was banished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Duck Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Hi,Just came across this pic of JPJ. Can anyone tell me the venue and photographer? Also out of curiosity, how many triple neck setups did JPJ use? I don't know but this is a great photo of the man in action. He's sitting down so it was probably during a concert's acoustic section.

mknopfler Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I don't know but this is a great photo of the man in action. He's sitting down so it was probably during a concert's acoustic section.I'm guessing it's actually ten years gone, because if it was battle of evermore he'd have a vocal mic as well. I could be wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackenbush Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Thanks. I was in the ballpark with assuming this was part of the 77 US tour.If anyone has a higher res picture, it would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong...I thought I had made it quite clear that it is JPJ playing "Ten Years Gone" from either a May or June 1977 performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
