I did photography of Led Zeppelin on their very first US tour. During an interview at their hotel, John Paul was taking his record player apart ( KLH portable ) and holding it by the tonearm. Amazingly, he got it back together as Robert Plant brought a 45 RPM single to play. Robert turned to me and said, "This is a recording of a friend of mine, he hopes to get played in the States" The record was a promo British release of "60 years on" by Elton John. I think he got his wish.
Before They Were Famous
What artists did you see on the way up, before superstardom?
Anyone lucky enough to see the Beatles in Germany? If so, the thread should stop there. Until then, I have two. Aerosmith played at my high school Junior Prom, Stepinac High School in White Plains, N.Y., and I was lucky enough to see John Belushi do Joe Cocker in "Lemmings" at the Village Gate in N.Y.C. around 1970, just before SNL.
