Page Les Paul Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 With the stay at home rule in Florida, I have had a lot time to download bootlegs to my iPhone and iPhone. I really wasn't crazy about the artwork for the majority of the 77 boots except Destroyer (Page cover so I created my own artwork. I tried to have a common theme as if each individual show was part of a 1977 tour boxset. The covers on my iMac are much sharper than what appears here.

Page Les Paul Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Just completed Houston. Two questions. 1) Is there a good audience recording of the April 10, 1977 Chicago show? Would love to do a cover for that one as Jimmy wears the stormtrooper outfit. 2) Does anyone have a link to the May 30, 1977 (sound board) show? I'm not able to find the complete sound board on Black Beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluribus Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Just curious, why not use photos from the actual shows? I see that some of them use photos from the gigs, but most are from other dates: There are photos for a good majority of shows that you can find here and on Ledzeppelin-reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that some of them use photos from the gigs, but most are from other dates: There are photos for a good majority of shows that you can find here and on Ledzeppelin-reference I googled each show to find photos. Went on led zeppelin.com and reviewed any photos I could find for each show. Looked through Neil Preston's book "Sound and Fury". Looked at Bob Gruen photos. It was like being on a scavenger hunt. Not familiar with Led Zeppelin-reference. Also, I wanted to use as high quality photos as possible. It finally got to the point where I had to use photos from other shows as long as they were similarly dressed. In other words no storm trooper photos. Seattle was very hard to find anything of good quality so I had to use other photos. Finally, as much as I would like to have the photos from each show it seemed like an impossible task. Compared to most bootleggers, at least I did not use photos from different tours. Edited April 10, 2020 by Page Les Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Les Paul Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 Landover 05/28/1977. This was a really hard one as there are not many photos of Jimmy in the black dragon suit for the 77 tour. None are in really good quality. Had to borrow one photo from L.A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page Les Paul Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 So with so many soundboards available from the 75, 77 and 80 tours, I decided to have a theme with the covers as if they were each in a huge box set for each tour. The 1975 tour. The 1977 tour. The 1980 tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did upload some of the covers on Album Art Exchange here. https://albumartexchange.com/covers?q=Led+Zeppelin&fltr=ALL&sort=DATE&status=&size=any&apply-filter= I had to shrink the files for that website.
