This commemorative edition includes:
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.
Charles R. Cross has written nine books, including Heavier Than Heaven: The Biography of Kurt Cobain, which was a New York Times bestseller, won the 2002 ASCAP Award for Outstanding Biography, and was called "one of the most moving and revealing books ever written about a rock star" by the Los Angeles Times. He is also the author of the New York Times bestseller Room Full of Mirrors: The Biography of Jimi Hendrix and was the coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Kicking & Dreaming: A Story of Heart, Soul, and Rock & Roll, with Ann and Nancy Wilson. He lives in Seattle, Washington.

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).
