Brilliant, they should know better. Not nitpicking your accuracy, just clarifying for the historical record.

its amazing how he grew a beard on the same gigOr Jimmy is a werewolf.
Yeah, whoever compiled and/or fact checked those photos was a moron. Or a newbie. Or possibly both. The ‘beard’ pics were from around 1971. The Angel photos are fascinating. He had been a huge fan of the Yardbirds, and caught them(unknowingly)in their final days with the shots of Page and his Vox Phantom 12-string. When ‘they’ returned a few months later, he was shocked to find a while new band. They had been advertised as the “New Yardbirds” due to a standing contractual obligation, and the gigs served as a road test for the new line-up. The name was changed shortly thereafter; new band, new sound, new identity.the article from the bbc stated led zeppelin pictures from there first concert 7th sep 1968 in denmark they said the new yardbirdssome more pics from the same article View attachment 3478811 View attachment 3478812 View attachment 3478813 View attachment 3478814 does not look like all these pics are from the same concert to me

I recognized Bill Bruford from Yes and King Krimson, but I had no knowledge of UK. I shall have to investigate. TO SPOTIFY!

Saw a couple of PJ's gigs in California when she toured "To Bring You My Love" mid-nineties, and they are among the finest rock shows I've ever seen. I think that album is a classic head-to-tails and PJ and band were truly on point putting it across live. I seem to remember she was playing support, so the sets were probably 30-40 minutes in duration, which no doubt would have contributed to their concise pace and no-nonsense attitude. Sometimes less is more -- even in stage wear.
