Previously unseen photographs taken by Craig Wright of Led Zeppelin performing at The Forum in Inglewood, California in 1973 have been shared with LedZepNews to publish online ahead of the launch of an online exhibition later this year.

Stockholm’s Oak Island Gallery, which previously held an exhibition featuring unseen Led Zeppelin photographs taken by Ed Finnell, is now preparing to debut similarly unseen images shot by Wright.

The gallery plans to hold an online exhibition in August featuring Wright’s images of Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Bob Marley, The Faces and David Bowie. Prints of the images will also be made available.

LedZepNews reported earlier this year that Finnell returned from a trip to the US and brought back Wright’s rare, unseen images.

The gallery’s staff are currently on a summer break, but anyone interested in ordering prints of Wright’s photographs can contact them through this page.

    I’ve got several rolls I shot in Dallas on their last tour through here. Friday night

  3. Well Robert and Jimmy *were* the front men and the stars of the show which obviously answers the question as to why no Bonzo pictures. Sadly JB became much more legendary after his tragic and untimely demise.
