KNEBWORTH 1979
In 1979, Led Zeppelin appeared at Knebworth, England for two outdoor shows. These were preceded by two warm-up shows at the Falconer Theater in Copenhagen.
A new laser effect had been designed for guitarist, Jimmy Page. His violin bow could light up like neon and strobe colors as he waved it overhead. A powerful laser beam was emitted from the end of the bow which Jimmy could aim off into space. Two 100 micron diameter quartz fiber optic cables (with one spare) carried light from the argon and krypton lasers to a tiny lens that produced the beam and to a piece of glowing lucite rod attached to the length of the bow.
This cue sheet for the laser bow / laser pyramid effect was handwritten by Jimmy.
