LED ZEPPELIN Photographs Uncovered After Thirty Years

January 15, 2008

Australian Broadcasting Corporation reports: It was 1972, and the world's biggest band of the time, LED ZEPPELIN, was due to play at the Sydney Showground. No one was to know it would become one of the great concerts, and thankfully, photographer Ted Harvey was there to capture the moment. But the discovery of these images seems more a result of "accidental archiving."

Ted came across his extraordinary images three years ago when he conducted a search of his many rock music photographs when someone enquired about his work as a freelance photographer in the 1970's.

Ted had photographed the likes of PINK FLOYD, JETHRO TULL, DEEP PURPLE and CAT STEVENS. After he took these shots of LED ZEPPELIN in Sydney, he met the band and enjoyed a stroll in Kings Cross with Robert Plant. He recalls Plant started to sing at the top of his lungs without a passer by seeming to notice! Now based in the Northern Rivers, Harvey has fond memories of the ZEPPELIN concert that Sunday, February 27, 1972.
