Led Zeppelin celebrates 50 years!

Today Led Zeppelin celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the band's first day in the studio together with three new digital streaming titles, a new fiftieth-anniversary logo and promotions in independent music stores worldwide. We thought we'd join in with this July 1979 photo (taken in Knebworth, Hertfordshire, UK) from Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin, releasing October 9 worldwide. It's one of more than 300 images from the band's private archives, published alongside various texts and commentary, historical and original to the book, from Page, Plant, Jones and Bonham (who died in 1980.) "We knew how good we were," Jimmy Page is quoted. "The way the alchemy bonded and the way the band was to showcase each of us as a serious musician. Certainly the live situation created an extra element."
