The author of the Led Zeppelin biography Hammer of the Gods has a new book set for release.
Stephen Davis’ LZ-’75: The Lost Chronicles of Led Zeppelin’s 1975 American Tour will be available on October 28.
According to a press release, the book will feature “all-new interviews” with band members and new, insider information about Zeppelin.
“As a young music journalist in 1975, Stephen Davis got the opportunity of a lifetime: an invitation to cover the sold-out 1975 North American tour of Led Zeppelin, the biggest and most secretive rock band in the world, for a national magazine,” the description of the book reads. “He received a backstage pass, was granted interviews with band members, and even got a prized seat on the band’s luxurious tour jet, The Starship. While on duty, he chronicled the Zeppelin tour in three notebooks, but after writing his article in 1975 he misplaced them. After three decades of searching, in 2005 he finally found the notebooks, on the covers of which he had scribbled the words LZ-’75, and unearthed an amazing amount of new information from the tour…”.
The book will feature more than 40 never-published photographs, detailed descriptions of every concert and behind-the-scenes secrets of the band and the tour.
