As a young lad in 1977 I stumbled into a mall record store and saw this very
poster on the wall. I remember staring at it thinking "THAT - is what rock
and roll is!" In fine print, at the very bottom it said "Led Zeppelin."
That was the very beginning of what has become a 28 year obsession with all
things Zeppelin. I, too, have always wondered about the story behind that
picture. However, as great as the story about the dove landing on Plant,
right after Stairway sounds, I can't believe that it's true. That sounds
like one of those incidents that's become a bit exaggerated over the years.
However, I can't say that I've ever heard anything better. I've listened to
that show time and time again, but have never heard the moment when the dove
landed. Have I missed anything?
Regardless of its origins, that photo is still one of THE all time classic
rock and roll shots! Was it Neil Preston? I've still got that poster
stored away somewhere, maybe it's time to take it out again.
