“Very few musicians have had an impact on fashion that transcended their generation. Most entertainers are lucky to create a single iconic image. Jimmy Page, however created many: the pre-Raphaelite dandy with a kaleidoscope Tele, the black-and-silver-star spangled arena showman wielding a sunburst Les Paul; the decadent, dragon suited Dark Lord of the Gibson double neck, are just a few of his immediately recognisable personas, and they continue to resonate with today's leading fashion experts.”

HOW DO YOU PEOPLE KNOW WHAT YEAR A PICTURE IS TAKEN JUST BY LOOKING AT IT? You Led Zeppelin fandom ppl scare me in the best possible way
HAHA don’t worry I too thought this at some point. But here’s an easy cheat sheet so you too can flawlessly date Led Zeppelin photos and scare your friends!
Now of course, I’m an amateur at this. There are people in this fandom who have a literal encyclopedic knowledge on every little detail so they’re probably better to ask, but mostly how I can the year is using the following indicators.
- the easiest one is Jimmy’s stage clothes. The black dragon suit is 75 and the poppy suit is 77. The black astrology suit with the silver embellishments is 73. Knebworth is the blue button down and in 80, everyone wore really casual clothes and he often matched with Robert. ‘68-69 is a lot of frilly Victorian dandy/princess clothes. Lots of pink and crushed velvet and white ruffles. He also dressed like he was colorblind in this era. The general vibe seemed to be “anything goes, as long as the piece is unique.” When he had the beard after May ‘70, he really embraced the homeless fisherman aesthetic and had a lot of those outfits, coupled with a rather unfortunate bucket hat.
- Jimmy’s weight and overall health is also a super easy indicator of the year. If Jimmy’s weight inspires thoughts along the lines of “wow that guy is really small, he looks like he naturally has a very slight build” then it’s probably 68-70. From 70-73 he has grown up a bit and looks it, but also looks very normal for Jimmy. He looks like he is at the weight that your average Jimmy should be at. By 75, his naturally chubby face has slimmed out a little just as effects of getting older and he looks slimmer, but still healthy. As the tour progresses he does look thinner, but nothing that makes you go, “holy shit is he okay?” If the picture inspires thoughts of “omg why is he on stage and not in a hospital?” Then it’s probably 1977. By this time his ribs are usually visible when he’s playing and his chest is literally concave in some pictures. His face also looks very haggard in most of the pictures and he has lost all the baby fat on his face, making him look mature but also a little gaunt. 79-80 his face looks permanently exhausted and he doesn’t play shirtless anymore, so you can’t see his ribby chest, but his arms look like a firm handshake could snap them.
Tumblr media
Here’s Jimmy with some snappable arms.
-Jimmy’s various hair eras are also easy indicators of the year. In 1968, Jimmy wore his natural hair often (or at least smth close to his natural hair, god knows what his real hair looks like after the 60s crimping and the ‘70s curling and the ‘80s perming and the ‘90s weird short haircut era and the 2000s dying) so it was often a frizzy mess (affectionate) that’s just a around past his chin to his shoulders. It did grow out into long Princess waves eventually. 70-71 was short hair with the beard, 73 was the mullet, and 75 was longer, tight ringlets that fell just past his shoulder. 77 was slightly shorter with bangs over his forehead, and 79-80 was shorter, just past his chin, still tightly curled.
- Robert’s appearance is also an easy indicator of year. He also finally grew into looking like a man in 75, so 75- 77 Robert has a lot more mature face. ‘75 Robert still has a bit of childishness is his face, while by 77, he has fully grown into his adult looks. 70-73 Robert has a bit of a baby face, and 68-69 Robert has an extreme baby face with the shorter hair
Tumblr media
Picture because he was absolutely adorable in this era
Anyway, in 79+ he really started to look like an adult. He started to grow into the broad build he has now and cut his hair short and fluffy again. Outfit wise, he had a thing for wearing a lot of black in the earlier years. 70-71 was also the era of that beautiful musketeer facial hair which made him look like something out of a fairy tale. Robert’s stage outfits are always harder to use to discern the year, but a lot of his signature flowery, open chested blouses that you equate with Robert are from 75. Basically the Robert cheat sheet is: Short and fluffy hair with baby face is 68-70, long hair with facial hair and baby face 70-71 (he did have periods of not having the facial hair I.e the Japan Tour, which is long curls + baby face). 75 is no baby face and long curls and 77 is adult face with long hair. 79-80 is short fluffy hair with adult face.
- the stage setup is also a good indicator. Tiny bars and clubs is either 68-69 or the back to the clubs tour, depending on how grown up they look. The big laser show is 75
- for Jonesy, his pornstache is during Led Zeppelin’s unfortunate facial hair era so 1970-1971 (he didn’t go to Bron-Yr-Aur so idk what his excuse is, but he also makes the facial hair work, so it can be forgiven). His hair was shorter in 1973 and he had bangs. By 1975, he had a short haircut with lovely fluffy hair and sideburns. This is also when he grew into an adult face. You could see it a bit in 73, but 75 is when he starts looking like an adult. 77 was the gorgeous fluffy looking long hair with what looks like grown out curtain bangs lol. I’m not sure what it is but he looks great doing it. Knebworth is obviously that beautiful white suit, and longer hair and bangs.
Tumblr media
Here’s my favorite Jonesy photo just because I like it
- Bonzo just looks like Bonzo all the time. I really don’t know what to say lol. He was at peak bear 77 onwards though.
But overall, for me, outfits and appearances are the best indicators. Sorry about the long response and thanks for the ask!

The many suits of Jimmy Page - Rebloggable by request:
Tumblr media
Oh, you all indulge me too much! I would LOVE to inform you all about Jimmy’s stage suits until you are all blue in the face. You have been warned.
Up until about 1971, Jimmy’s stage outfits were either a combination of sweater vests, jeans, boots, sneakers, t-shirts, or fruity ’60s clothing. When 1972 came along following their huge success with IV and their new material from their not-yet released Houses of the Holy, Jimmy started to gain a little bit more confidence in his looks and decided to break out some custom outfits.
As talked about in this post, the first known concert of Jimmy’s initial stage costume is 6/22/72, where he wore the rose embroidered matador jacket paired with some plain black jean bell-bottoms and some tuxedo shoes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Because of the short amount of time they had to tour in 1972, the outfit bled into much of 1973. This time, he swapped out the jeans for the famous moon pants, covered in stars, a dragon, and various planets.
Tumblr media
As seen in the picture, his alternative jacket matched the pants perfectly; made the same velvety fabric and covered in moons and stars.
Tumblr media
The two outfits worn for the The Song Remains the Same filming were the one pictured above (which was filmed at Shepperton Studios in 1974 and not the actual concert), and the original rose jacket.
Tumblr media
Aside from those two suits and a couple of informal and unplanned stage outfits, this white suit is the only other suit worn more than a couple of times on the 1972/1973 tours, as shown here at Kezar Stadium on 6/2/73:
Tumblr media
For the 1975 tour, Jimmy revisited the rose jacket and moon pants frequently, but his main choice of pants were the bottoms to the Dragon Suit.
Seen here at the LA Forum on 3/27/75, Jimmy wears a combination of the rose jacket and the Dragon pants, which made their debut appearance onstage:
Tumblr media
The full Dragon Suit was first worn throughout the five shows at Earls Court in May of ‘75, complete with matching jacket, seen here on 5/8/75:
Tumblr media
Contrary to popular belief, the Dragon Suit was not only for the 1975 tour, as it was seen many times throughout 1977.
5/28/77:
Tumblr media
The last US show, Oakland 7/23/77:
Tumblr media
Here is a back view of the lovely jacket:
Tumblr media
Getting back to 1975, Jimmy would sometimes swap the jacket for this flamboyant button-up and wear it with either the white pants, moon pants, or Dragon pants:
Tumblr media
For 1977, Jimmy’s Poppy Suit was his outfit of choice.
Tumblr media
Clean cut, never wrinkled, always glowing! Other than the Poppy Suit, Jimmy made a few appearances in his “Stormtrooper Outfit,” which included variations of scarves, sunglasses, suspenders, a hat which resembles a German WWII SS visor, and German SS leather marching boots:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For 1979/1980, Jimmy stuck to baggy shirts and loose pants, either due to the changing styles of the ’80s, or maybe his self-consciousness of his weight loss from the drug addiction. Seen here in Copenhagen 7/24/79, he wears this pink shirt and white pants:
Tumblr media
For Knebworth, Jimmy changed the shirt to a blue one:
Tumblr media
The remainder of the shows featured Jimmy in sleeveless shirts and jeans, and the white suit over colorful button-ups.
I hope you’ve enjoyed the lesson on Jimmy Page Fashion! For staying with me the entire time, here’s a treat for you all. Here is a very accurate Jimmy Page dressup doll for your pleasure.
Thanks for indulging me!

Led zeppelin at kezar stadium san francisco california. june 2, 1973. “Led Zeppelin walked on stage and we all stood up. That made for more room, and everyone moved forward, closer and closer to the stage. The excitement was in the air. They launched into some of their standards before introducing a few new songs. Robert Plant was very animated and obviously enjoying himself. At one point, between songs, he pulled out a newspaper and read something to Jimmy Page. It sounded like it was a negative review, which claimed that the new glitter band, Slade, was taking Led Zeppelin’s place. Robert Plant laughed so hard that he actually fell down and rolled on the stage. I could tell that Led Zeppelin were at the top of the heap and knew it. I could see people standing on the tops of buildings outside the stadium, trying to get a free show. It was loud enough for most of San Francisco to hear. During “Stairway to Heaven,” when they got to the line, “There’s a feeling I get when I look to the west,” Robert Plant pointed at the crowd and smiled. The audience let out a cheer. Another memorable moment was at the end of “Stairway.” They brought out a large box and released some white doves. The birds were not that eager to leave and some had to be coaxed out. One dove flew up, but then flew back and landed on Robert Plant’s hand. Jimmy Page put his guitar down and walked over. Plant and Page stood there petting the bird, which seemed very much at home in Robert’s hand.“ -David Miller
