Sems Fir Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I agree Jimmy is 5' 11" to 6' tall with Robert between 6' and 6' 1". From what I've heard over the years I have to agree with Steve regarding how tall Jimmy and Robert are. According to a bio written up in the '60's for the band Listen Robert's height is listed at 5ft. 11.5 inches tall. Of course this same bio states Robert's birthday on August 15th and that he plays the flute. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonTelecaster Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 One thing that stands out to me is not so much Jimmy's height, but the wingspan of his arms! Seriously, take a close look of pictures him playing his Les Paul and how low he plays the darn thing! His arms look unusually long! Kinda freakish!

Gegenschein Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 All people lose a little bit of height during their life span, the spine is constantly crashing in on itself every day. True dat. Is called vertebral compression of aging. Bad news, especially for me. I need every millimeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartbreaker_Girl Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 No, they didn't and they don't. just out of curiosity, what kind of shoes did they wear when they did a concert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 just out of curiosity, what kind of shoes did they wear when they did a concert? If you look at concert shots of them, they have shoes that were in style in the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 With The Yardbirds, Jimmy often wore what are called "Beetle boots". I think Jimmy's most well-known footware from the Zep era are those black and white shoes he wore on the '73 tour, if only on account of the film TSRTS. When he toured with The Firm in the mid 80's he favored knee-high black leather boots during the initial winter gigs before switching to white sneakers and Hawaiian shirts for the summer of '85. Throughout the Page/Plant era he nearly always wore a pair of black Hush Puppies to the concerts they performed. Do I win a prize? No. Do you mean "Beatle boots"--meaning boots with Cuban heels?

luap1236 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Jimmy isn't that tall. I remember the last Page/Plant tour ten years ago, and they put out this promo/ad from Best Buy, the sponsors. There was this picture of Jimmy and Robert standing next to each other, and it looks at first that they're the same height. Then you notice Jimmy's standing on a loading ramp raised at an angle, quite funny, really. I wish I still had a copy of that ad. If anyone has, would you please post it? Your footer.. I was at that St Louis show and the slight delay was over 1.25 hours!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glicine Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Do you mean the one of them standing side by side on a street corner with a red bus passing behind them? It hung as a promotional poster in the venues during the tour, and perhaps in some of the stores. I have one and I'll post it sometime. The funny thing is there's an image of The Who (also managed by Bill Curbushley at the time) from the 60s in almost the exact same pose and surroundings. I guess you mean this one?

SteveAJones Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I guess you mean this one? That's the one. The tour poster uses the same image but adds "Best Buy presents..." etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longdistancewinner Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I guess you mean this one? They're clearly around the same height. The pavement that Jimmy's on is level with the road. And there's not much of a ramp to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonmaid Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Yeah, you're right, Robert's got the edge on him there. Which brings us right back around to SAJ's first report that Jimmy is 5'11(ish) and Robert is 6'-6'1(ish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Harper Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 According to Mendelsohn's ludicrous review of LZ II in Rolling Stone, Jimmy is between 5'4" and 5'8". Is he just making this up?
