Stevie photographed onstage by Richard E. Aaron:

“Stevie is a perfect subject for shooting available light mood shots of. During the groups song where there is another member of the bands solo she is off to the side in a pensive sedative mood. This is the right time to do stills of her. When she is not in motion she is in a stationary mode.”

So, I’m having the time of my life cause I’ve just found out some high school detention records about John Lennon and I can’t stop laughing I mean: 

“comments”, 

“talk” 

“nuisance"

“silliness”

“shouting" 

“shoving" 

“misconduct”

“chewing”

“talking in class”

“very bad conduct”

“repeated misconduct”

“very bad behaviour”

“misbehaviour again”

“impudent answer to question”

“late for lesson”

“just no interest whatsoever”

“idleness”

“silly noises in an examination”

AND THE BEST ONE TO ME:

“S a b o t a g e”

Robert Plant with the caveman look he adopted for Zeppelin’s Return to the Club tour of March 1971. This was Zep’s attempt to return to their grass roots. The goal was to reconnect with fans , like playing venues similar to when the band first formed , and charging the same low ticket prices. It was a gesture to thank their fans. They also road tested songs from their upcoming LZ IV album on this tour.

Southampton University (The Old Refectory, Student Union Building), March 11, 1971 – so yeah, basically the college cafeteria, tickets 60p. From the school paper:

During their long three-hour set, they performed three new numbers, which were previously unrecorded and this might possibly be on their fourth album. They were: Going to California, Black Dog and Stairway to Heaven, the latter being exceptional. A number which I didn’t really expect was a slow 12-bar blues with John Paul Jones providing an organ backing for some really beautiful guitar from Jimmy Page.
