LED ZEPPELIN
Five Glorious Nights - A photographic record complied by Dave Lewis.
In May 1975, Led Zeppelin performed five momentous concerts at the Earls Court Arena in London to a combined audience of 85,000 fans. This was a band at the peak of their powers slaying the sold-out audiences with a nightly marathon three and a half hour presentation of light, sound,
power and energy.
There’s no doubt that Led Zeppelin’s Earls Court appearances represented a career high for the band and four decades on, are still held in the highest esteem by their vast following. They were also some of their most visually appealing shows with laser pioneering laser effects, video projection screen and the band themselves dressed for the occasion – Jimmy Page in a two piece dragon suit, Robert Plant with a cut off shirt allowing for bare chested narcissism, John Paul Jones in a quirky Spanish jacket complete with mock onions and John Bonham in a glittering T shirt high on the drum rostrum.
Now for the first time an extensive collection of timeless images of Led Zeppelin on stage at Earls Court in all their regal splendour have been brought together in this deluxe volume. Five Glorious Nights – Led Zeppelin at Earls Court May 1975 captures the visual magnificence of the band though the images of some of the finest rock photographers of the era who were right there on the spot to capture rock history.
Drawing from a variety of outstanding photographers including Adrian Boot, Barry Plummer, Dick Barnett, Ian Dickson, Jill Furmanovsky, Mick Gold, Gus Stewart, Chris Walters, Stuart Whitehead and Graham Wiltshire, the book chronicles the sheer visual splendour of these historic concerts.
It’s accompanied by a written commentary that puts into perspective exactly why these concerts were simply some of the finest Led Zeppelin ever performed.
The book is compiled by Dave Lewis - the highly respected world-renowned Led Zeppelin archivist and author and editor of the long running Led Zeppelin magazine and website Tight But Loose. Dave has a unique perspective on the Earls Court concerts having been present for all five of them.
This revised and expanded edition published 47 year after the concerts and with the Earls Court building now demolished, offers a permanent visual record of a band at their absolute zenith – in a setting that truly justified their status as the world’s greatest live attraction.
Five Glorious Nights – relive them through the visual splendour of this expansive volume that captures the power and glory of Led Zeppelin on stage at Earls Court over two memorable weekends back in May 1975.
