The story behind the cover art...
The picture was taken by Carl Dunn. He shot it at his first Led Zeppelin concert that he was allowed to shoot up close. The concert was in Ft. Worth and the show was SO loud that some of the cops working security started putting bullets in their ears as ear plugs. Petter Grant, Zeppelin's manager saw this and wanted Carl to shoot the picture to which he was going to add the caption "FIRE". He sent this image as well as five others to Jimmy Page. They didn't end up using the photo all those years ago and we are lucky enough to call Carl a great friend and have the opportunity to use this great image.
Thank you Carl, for putting a visual to our new album.
