Here's a photo from '79 or '80. "Ten Years Gone" was recorded on this same '62 Stratocaster.

Led Zeppelin have given a clear hint that they are thinking about staging a full-scale tour after their reunion gig next month.
Speaking to Guitar World magazine in the States, guitarist Jimmy Page suggested the one-off show may lead to something bigger.
"It's a bit silly not to because there is such massive demand," he said.
Until now, the band had said they were only planning to do the one show at the O2 Dome, in honour of Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.
But following what Page described as the "overwhelming" reaction to the show, clearly they are re-thinking things. It's estimated up to 20 million people applied for just 18,000 tickets.
"It's a bit selfish to do just one show. If that's it, we probably shouldn't have taken the genie out of the bottle," he said.
The show has been delayed while Page rests a broken finger on his left hand. He got the injury when he tripped over a paving slab in the dark.
"The light was very dim and I tripped over something and I landed on various bits of my anatomy but of course the crucial part was left hand, little finger," Page has previously told Sky News.
The rescheduled gig at the O2 Arena will now take place on December 10.
No, Owlsley is in Australia. He did an interview this year.
“How the west was won” is the best archive of live Zeppelin IMHO
I always hoped that the remaining Beatles, George, Paul and Ringo would get together to just do an album of oldies. Rockabilly type stuff, just for fun. Carl Perkins, Eddie Cochran, etc. I had to settle for Paul McCartney Live at the Cavern.
Maybe Ken Keesey?
I loved their BBC Sessions cd which was live in studio.
Im stunned by that collaboration.
And its Good!
George's guitarmanship has fallen off somewhat, these past several years.
(Just kidding. I knew what you actually meant to say, there. Honest.) ;)
Now to give Toni Tennille some “rock and roll” props.
She sang backup vocals on Pink Floyd’s The Wall double-album.

Whoa. I haven’t seen a case of “guitar face” like that since Howard Shore. ;)
Coolest thing in the hall of fame is Janice Joplins Porsche, Handpainted by the members of Big Brother and the Holding Co.
There was a Carl Perkins “duets” album that came out (of decades of studio sessions with guests). I think each of the Beatles sat in on a cut.
There is a DVD/video of a mid-1980s concert called Carl Perkins & Friends that has George and Ringo sitting in with 2 of the Stray Cats, Rossane Cash, and others. The best part of the show is when he sits them down on stools and takes them to “school”.
John Lennon was strong armed into doing an album of rock and roll covers over the “flattop” line in Come Together. He was sued and the result was an agreement to record an album of songs that guy owned the rights to (didn’t write any of them). Phil Spector was hired to produce (and if I recall he pulled a gun on John Lennon, just as he’d later do to the Ramones). The sessions took too long and the owner had the tapes stolen and released for a “as seen on tv” album. Lennon’s own version came out later.
Eddie Cochran Was Awesome.
Blue Cheer covered summertime blues, as did The Who
I’m going on record as being pissed at you for ridiculing the GREATEST live band in history! :-)

Meant to ping you to this, rather than wagglebee. (My Bad.) ;)
“In the Evening” was definitely recorded with a Strat. When I saw Plant/Page a few years ago (actually about a decade ago now) Jimmy played it on a Strat.
