Fredbloggs Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Does anyone know anything about these shirts or have any pictures of any Band and/or Crew Members wearing these shirts? I think only 8 or 12 were made.....4 for the band and 4 for VIP Swan Song or Crew Members,and each had their names embroidered on one of the sleeves. I believe Jimmy wore one onstage on the final date of the 1975 USA tour on 27th March at The Forum in Inglewood,Los Angeles. Here`s a picture of Jimmy`s one from the "Vintage Swag" section of the official website http://www.ledzeppelin.com/photos/memorabilia/vintage-swag?page=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators sam_webmaster Posted May 10, 2017 Administrators Share Posted May 10, 2017 Not much info.... I don't think I've ever seen a member of the band wearing one, but I do recall a photo of Jason Bonham wearing one in the late 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Just as an aside, I absolutely love this one on the 'Vintage Swag' page of the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredbloggs Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 According to the website of these memorabilia dealers who were once in possession of the shirt Jimmy wore his one onstage on the very last night of that same tour....... https://www.memorabilia.expert/shop/americana/1975-led-zeppelin-american-concert-tour-rare-vip-crew-band-only-promo-hockey-jersey-by-concerts-west/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredbloggs Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Product Description In 1975 Led Zeppelin released Physical Graffiti a double-LP. It was very popular as it hit #1 on the charts. A super size American tour was played to feature the music on the album. This American style red, white and blue custom hockey jersey is just like the one guitarist Jimmy Page wore on the last night of the 1975 tour. It features stitched white cursive lettering across the verso nameplate area, “Jerry Weintraub – Concerts West Presents”. Large block letters (sewn-on) present, “Led Zeppelin American Tour 1975.” The front chest sports two white patches with blue lettering including a circular Swan Song and other art design on the opposite side. The original crew member’s (owner) name “Jeff” is stitched on a patch on the right sleeve. These jerseys are extremely rare as they were a limited edition from the promoter (Concerts West). They were only given to the band members and a few of the VIP crew. Black lacquer engraved plaque (as provenance) reads, “JEFFERY P. BENNETT – 1975 – SEX, DRUGS & ROCK N’ ROLL – 1995 MAYOR CITY OF CORONA.” The provenance letter from Bennett details the origin, “I received my 1975 Tour Jersey from John Bonham who I worked with and the other members of the band from 1972-1977. It was a gift for all I had done during my tenure. A few more were also given out I believe a total of 8 were made.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, Jeffery Bennett is not known for his honesty: http://activerain.com/blogsview/2361764/ex-corona-mayor-found-guilty-of-lying-to-the-fbi However, he did apparently post a comment concerning another jersey, which he called a fake: http://www.defunkd.com/blog/2009/03/11/recommended-attire-for-the-stairway-to-heaven/ The profile photo of the commentator does match that of Bennett: http://unclejoe.com/onair/miller2.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishlap Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 as a NYC kid, going to Cosby's was almost like going to see Zep. It was one of the few shops where you could get AUTHENTIC Knicks/Rangers(that's the original Rangers Hockey club jersey w/ the zep tags) pro teams gear. Expensive as hell they were.

The Only Way To Fly Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Hockey stuff will ALWAYS be expensive! I remember when U2 played Chicago a few years ago. This was right after the Hawks won the cup, and there was an official Hawks store near the UC. We stopped in and they had a green hockey sweater with "Bono" on the back retailing for IIRC close to $300! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the mid-60s, we used to take the Subway in from Jamaica right to the old Cosby's in the old MSG on 50th & 8th. A Ranger jersey like that was an outrageous $6.25, way out of the league for unemployed teenagers like us. They also had Rangers players' sticks for sale, which were also out of our price range. Still, amazing to see all the pro equipment our Ranger heroes used. We would then walk down to Paragon on Broadway & 18th & buy Converse All Stars for $5.99. They were $7.99 - $8.49 out on the Island at the time, so even with the bus 35¢ & subway fare 15¢ each way, we still saved a buck fitty.

Not at all. They came into existence because Madison Square Garden President Tex Rickard wanted a National Hockey League franchise of his own for the Garden. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_New_York_Rangers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember getting a pair of Thom Mcan converse (remember those?) bc the regular cons were almost $15 !!!... ok, $14.99. Anyway, I'd take the Woodlawn station or the 241st/white plains rd. EL to manhattan from westchester co. Those were grrrrrreat times to be a kid. Everyone says that about their "time" growing up, but I MEAN IT... j/k Peace my man, thanks for the trip on the memory lane local. P.S. Clyde Puma's, still my fave style sneaker ever.
