Neil Preston was Led Zeppelin’s tour photographer during the mid 1970’s and captured many of the famous photo images of the band both onstage and off.  His magnificent images can be seen through the years as part of magazine articles and books on Led Zeppelin.  The famous above image was taken by Neil when Led Zeppelin performed at the defunct Kezar Stadium in San Francisco on June 2, 1973.  The photograph was signed by Neil and given to John Bonham’s late broker Mick.  Neil autographed the image simply as “To Bonham –  Neil Preston ’82”.
