Administrators sam_webmaster Posted November 1, 2021 Administrators Posted November 1, 2021 For many years, photographer Carl Dunn has shared dozens of his Zep photos exclusively on LedZeppelin.com. He's been working on a new Led Zep photo book, slated to be published soon. ----------- “THEY ASK NO QUARTER” THE CARL DUNN LED ZEPPELIN ARCHIVE 1969-1975 NEW LED ZEPPELIN PHOTOGRAPHIC BOOK BASED ON UNSEEN PHOTOS TO BE PUBLISHED IN NOVEMBER 2021 Legendary Rock photographer Carl Dunn opens his Led Zeppelin archive. The new photographic book details 15 Led Zeppelin shows ranging from the Texas Pop Festival in 1969, over the rise of Led Zeppelin on their March - May 1970 tour of the US south, to 5 shows from the epic 1973 tour including the double date at the Chicago Stadium in July 1973, and finally at three consecutive sold out shows in Texas in early March 1975. Moreover, Carl was fortunate to be invited to the “Cabana Motor Motel” in Dallas in 1970 to shoot the band freely while they were relaxing at the pool. He also joined Jimmy Page and Peter Grant to Austin, where Jimmy played with Bad Company in September 1974. Of 1300 live and off stage images, we have chosen 175 of the best of these and present them with a narrative by the photographer who will tell interesting tales of shooting the mighty Led Zeppelin, as he watched them rise to become the biggest rock act of the 1970´s. Noted Led Zeppelin expert and writer Marc Roberty will offer background and tour info. Archivist Dave Brolan will offer his views on the photographs through an introduction, and there will be comments by fellow rock photographer Ross Halfin.

The Only Way To Fly Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 Just in time for the holidays! Quote
Mikelangelo Posted November 4, 2021 Posted November 4, 2021 Good looking, sharp photos,- it would seem. Quote
Eyekhan Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 Just got it in the mail today. It is beautiful. Definitely a different perspective from behind the lens as Carl wasn’t granted as much access as newspaper/magazine photogs. The pictures are almost from a fan’s perspective. Pretty cool. Some great shots from when Jimmy joined Bad Company on stage in 74. Quote
z1inspector Posted January 15, 2022 Posted January 15, 2022 WOE! Yea Looking forward to get a glimpse of those 74’ pictures with Pagey & Bad Co! how much was the book? Quote
hindenburg6880 Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) Did somebody buy the Ultimate Edition? If yes, I have got three questions: Is your book blue or red? Is your book numbered? Is your book signed by Carl Dunn? Edited April 2, 2022 by hindenburg6880 Quote
Plant77 Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 He is an amazing photographer. That picture of Bonham with his hands clasped says a lot. Great photos. Quote
Sheppard Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Hello! Just wanted to say that this is a phenomenal book. Probably in my top 5 favorite Zeppelin books. Thanks! Quote
