Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin in 1974

The photograph of Robert Plant was taken in the early 1970s. Plant is wearing a red shirt with an open collar and has a cigarette in his mouth. The shot was taken by Penny Smith, who’s known for her portraits of musicians like David Bowie and Iggy Pop. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 40 years since Led Zeppelin played the Los Angeles Forum in 1974. The band was at the height of its popularity, having recently released Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti, two albums that would go on to sell millions of copies each. H/T>
