Synopsis
Neal Preston’s collection of Led Zeppelin insider shots are some of the most revealing and entertaining ever seen, taken at the private jets, at the recording sessions, and at the aftershows, and his record of the band at their peak reverberates loudly enough to reach both serious Zeppelin fans and the casually curious.

This commemorative edition includes:
- 90 full-color and black-and-white images, including some never-before-published and rare photos.

In 1968, the electrifying potion of musical greats Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham exploded onto the rock scene as Led Zeppelin. Their palpable, walloping beats in combination with their extraordinarily lyrical atmospherics quickly transcended the boundaries of traditional music to earn them the moniker "Gods of Rock." In Led Zeppelin: Shadow Taller Than Our Souls, Charles R. Cross looks past the over-told saga of Zeppelin's offstage antics to reexamine the reasons why the band garnered millions of screaming fans in the first place—the exquisite depth of their music. In an unprecedented format filled with interactive, historic memorabilia, this charged piece of rock criticism surveys Zeppelin's entire career, explores their landmark contributions, album by album, and displays stunning photographs and significant ephemera.

Summary:"A spectacular photographic record of Led Zeppelin at their peak! No one has captured the romance and mystique of Led Zeppelin on film more successfully than American photographer Neal Preston. His stunning collection of photographs shows Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham in full flight, both on stage and off. Preston was very much part of Led Zeppelin's inner circle. Camera at the ready, his unparalleled access to Zeppelin allowed him to document everything: their majestic performances from the sides of the stages, their travels on private jets, full band rehearsals, and private pre-show moments in cloistered dressing rooms. The result is this powerful collection of color and black-and-white images that stands as the ultimate visual record of the greatest band of the Seventies."--Back cover. Signed by Author(s).
