Jimmy Page Height

iggy says on 17/Jan/10
stages and movies always make people look bigger. anyone who cares to do it can determine size with relation to the width of a les paul or telecaster given a good straight on body shot. personally, i would place him anywhere between 5'9" - 5'11" tops, and 5'11" would really be stretching it

Jimmy Page is min 6ft, as in an interview they all said they were 6ft and over, Robert plant isn't much shorter than Peter Grant was who was 6ft4. Robert plant is reported to be 6'2, Jimmy Page 6'1, JPJ 6'1 and Bonham 5'10. APPARENTLY....

NO, just NO.... Plant used to wear high heels. You do realize that right? Plant was never over a FLAT 6'1". Page was not minimum 6'0". He was MAX 5'11". JPJ was nowhere near 6'1"...hahaha. Maybe 5'8"-5'9"... Bonham was about 5'10".

Not sure who your source is???

You guys are way overestimating everyone's height from this band.

Plant at 6'1, Page at 6'0" and Bonham at 5'10.5" (!?) are laughable. Although his sound was BIG, Bonham was a small guy. These guys all seem bigger than they actually are because of their stage presence, low camera angles in concerts, and they are lanky (plant and page at least). It seems like everyone is typically overestimating by 2" for all members of this band. In 30 years when they're all dead people will claim Robert Plant was 6'4", Peter Grant 6'8", Page 6'2", Bonham 6'5" JPJ 6'11". They're my favorite and I've watched all their concert DVDs multiple times and never did these guys appear as tall as people make it sound on this site.

Adamusic says on 16/Jul/09
No-Page has always looked tall to me. Page is no less than 5'11, in most shots he looks over six feet. Of course, his build also makes him look taller - he has incredibly long legs and is also quite lanky. His precise height is about 5'11.5, but he sometimes wore lifts that made him look the same height as Plant. Plant, who practically never wore lifts in his life, always looked 6'1". Bonzo is about 5'10.5- always looking a tad shorter than Jimmy. Jonesy, like Page, often wore lifts, and so often looked to be as tall as Bonzo and Page, but he was only 5'8" without them.

Spencer says on 26/Jun/09
Hey guys I heard peter grant was 6'4 in a book, and that how tall I am. Also in the book, a photo showed robert about an inch or two shy of peter, so that make robert like, 6,1? Jimmy looked to be about 5'10, 5'11. Jpj looked about the same as jimmy and john bonham was short, like 5'7-5'8.

jf says on 24/May/09
People saying Robert Plant reached 6'1" must not know what it means to be 6'1".

No way in hell did Bobby Plant peak at 6'1". Read my comment on Plant's page. I explain how his lanky body and skininess with the long blond hair and standing on stage all the time probably adds like 2-3 inches. I'd credit Plant with a barefoot peak of 5'-11.5" TOPS. He was the tallest member of LZ though, about a half inch or maybe slightly more taller than James Patrick Page.

T.J. says on 1/May/09
Plant was 6'1"/He's even said so himself.
People look tall on stage. Meat Loaf always looked giant, but you'd be suprised he's only 5'11". Don't let the illusion of an elevated stage fool you.
Plant nowadays is 5'11"ish And I'd say Page peaked 6'

Julian says on 16/Mar/09
I was standing in a queue at Paddinton station in London the other day and was a bit surprised to see Jimmy standing behind me,I'm just about 5'11 and I had very flat trainers on my feet,Jimmy was wearing boots with about an inch height and was about my height if slighty taller,so I'd say he's 5'11.
He looked very lithe and alot more oriental than in pictures.

Austrian says on 23/Feb/09
yea, since Led Zeppelin is one of my favourite bands ive seen a lot of pictures and video material on them, and definately none of them was short, the only one who was below average is John Paul Jones

Page was definately at least 5'11 in my opinion, Plant around 6'1, Bonham 5'10 to 5'11

Robert Plant says on 29/Nov/08
Rob, time to upgrade Pagey´s height. According to most sightings he´s 6 ft. Even his myspace has him as that. He probably just slouches a lot making him look much shorter than he really is. 6 ft was surely at least his peak height. And I´m Plant btw so I should know.

Diabolik says on 17/May/08
I think Jimmy may be an alien because he's built like one (He may even be a shapeshifter). I remember trying to figure out how tall he really was years ago by looking at pictures. I noticed strange things. He has the longest limbs and shortest body I've ever seen. His fingers are oddly shaped (like E.T.'s when he reaches for the Reese's Pieces)and look about a foot long in some pictures and then his hands look tiny in others.

He really does have bad posture and the reason is that a Les Paul weighs about as much as a tank, and all the years of 3 hour shows while playing one takes it toll. I know he also wore (and may still continue to wear) dress shoes with generous heels.

Nicole says on 9/Dec/07
Jimmy has always seemed tall to me, and in a bio he was called tall and thin when in his 20's. Now I saw Jimmy with the Black Crowes a few years ago in Boston and Joe Perry jumped up onstage for a song. I couldn't believe how short Perry actually is, as Jimmy(who has always had bad posture) towered over him.

ParkingLinks says on 10/Sep/07
Saw Aerosmith last night in Detroit... Joe Perry really tries to look like Jimmy Page. I had to do a double take a few times (i thought i was watching 1976 Jimmy Page on stage).

Page may be slim, but he can look after himself. They say he once got hassled by a sailor at an airport, due to his having long hair, and Page just casually smacked him around. Peter Grant had to remove the sailor for his own safety!

E says on 6/Apr/07
Met Robert Plant at a pub and had a beer with him...he is about 6-3, very large
guy in frame...surprisingly so. Also, Robert was very cool and charming in an affable English rock star aristocrat kind of way.

By the way...Heavy Metal can be traced back to the Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows" and later McCartney's "Helter Skelter" pushed it out into the forefront.

Middle-sized Cat says on 1/Jan/07
Always thought he was just trying to help the stagehands by sweeping up with his hair! You're right, seriously, and I've no idea how he plays like that. The guy from Yes, Steve Howe, holds his guitar just under his chin.

Aacme says on 31/Dec/06
Well, the posture he adopts on stage is probably because of the way he puts his guitar so low, I mean it's nearly under his stomach and he still manages to play it...He must have long arms or just had to lean over to be able to pick up all the strings..

Middle-sized cat says on 27/Dec/06
Just saw Zeppelin's DVD, at last. In all footage that I saw, Page adopts a posture that makes him look shorter even than Jones! Then he stands up properly, and is almost as tall as Plant. Baffling!

Both frontmen looked very moved at the end of that Knebworth show, which proved to be their last UK show as LZ.

Middle-sized Cat says on 7/Dec/06
What really surprised me, re. Jimmy's height, is that he appeared quite a bit shorter than ALL The Black Crowes when they recorded together. And Chris Robinson is said to be 5'10, an inch or two less than Pagey! Strange.

However, in the pictures with David Coverdale (the '93 Coverdale/Page album era), the two seemed exactly the same height; DC says he's exactly 6'. So maybe it's down to good old posture.

Middle-sized Cat says on 10/Nov/06
Sorry to go slightly off-topic, but Black Sabbath with Ian Gillan proved that some ideas should just stay as they are - abstract! It was SUCH a relief when Gillan got back with Purple a year later... The Van Halen situation is similar.

sf says on 9/Nov/06
The best thing for Van Halen is for the guys to bite the bullet, get Roth back, and put it all together again. Eddie's head needs to shrink (not to mention he needs to see a shrink), Roth's needs to shrink (you'd think it would have, but it never seems to!) I think if Roth grew the hair a little, and they all got it together, they could possibly sell out a few venues. If I thought they could do now what they were doing in the late 70's, early 80's, I'd pay to see them again. Padraig - you're right - we really do get off topic alot, don't we? Okay, no more Van Halen talk on the Jimmy Page page, unless, of course, Jimmy joins VH.

D. Ray Morton says on 9/Nov/06
"Oh wait, what am I thinking? K-Fed's available! He should be the next Van Halen lead singer. Fed Halen."

Actually, one of Nostradamus' early predictions was that Britney would divorce the K-man, flip out, and start an Emo band called FedEx.

Lmeister says on 9/Nov/06
I totally disagree with U guys. VH3 rocks and Cherone did a really good job. It is totally different than all the other VH albums, but still really awesome...Sammys new music sucks bigtime. He cannot write good stuff anymore...too much of tequila with Mike...

sf says on 9/Nov/06
Hell - the whole Cherone thing was idiotic. Did Eddie and the boys just keep thinking they could get one singer after another? Shows you how cocky Eddie is/was. Personally - I think they got lucky. Not many bands could just replace a very charismatic and flamboyant singer and great frontman (at least at the time) like Roth and survive. Maybe it's time to recruit someone else? Mmmmm...what's Vanilla Ice doing these days?

Brad says on 7/Nov/06
That last V.H. LP stunk. I got an advance Warner cassette of it and threw it off the 101 bridge at Woodman after 1 listen. I remember Carol Miller at WPLJ putting the first album on the day of release....L.A.'s in the house, London just folded....sorta like hearing "I Will Follow" by U2 on WLIR the first time or Stevie Ray Vaughan on WNEW-FM.

Brad says on 5/Nov/06
Our rock writer out here last week said Azoff got the deal together and there is no record deal, just VH with Roth on a big tour. He said Anthony is probably out. Can't wait for Sammy to say his mind. RnR Hall Of Fame? I doubt Sammy shows up. "Plain Jane" by Sammy shoulda been a hit...."Dock Of The Bay" 45rpm too, backed by Boston. I saw Sammy blow away a lot of groups as an opener '78-'79.

Hoss says on 4/Nov/06
I saw Parliament at MSG back in '78. He was dead by then I think. I asked Clinton about Hazel and he muttered those MFers at Warner Bros. own him now, I don't. Wish I saw Frosted....I've seen The Go Go's every tour since a dump club in Mount Vernon NY in '81. Jane rocks. Wolfie Van Halen/Roth in VH in '07? Anthony out? I wonder why. I guess too close to the red rocker. Irving Azoff representing the group? Eagles type of tour: high ticket prices.

Brad says on 2/Nov/06
The "punk" version of I Love New York by Madonna is the best thing I've heard this year. She took her dance song and put a 1977 Ramones beat to it. Amazing. 2 CD's on Smashing Orange. Eddie Hazel's only legit CD is just amazing. Funkadelic guitarist who drugged to death. Spacey Hendrix style. Very hazy smokey sound from around '76. It was expensive on Rhino/Handmade. Might have come down in price. Like "The Destroyer" I saw play basketball at the Rucker courts years ago, he's a legend few people know about.

Brad says on 31/Oct/06
Anybody have a picture of Joe Lynn Turner without his wig? How bout Rick Nielson without his cap after '76? Gene Simmons without his wigs? Roth without his? I bet these guys look really funny all bald now. Dwight Yoakum without his hat is pretty hard to top.

Middle-sized Cat says on 28/Oct/06
Bonnet is 5'10"? Interesting. He must slouch a bit. Still, he does look same height as Schenker on Assault Attack (what a great album).

One of the smallest man in rock has to be UFO's 'Atomik' Tommy McClendon. Phil Mogg, 5'8", towered over him! 5'3", I'd say. He was a fine guitarist - prolly still is.

Middle-sized Cat says on 26/Oct/06
Thought Joe Lynn Turner was short. ALL of Rainbow's singers were as small as Purple's were tall! Bonnet is pretty short, isn't he? Blackmore was always tallest man in Rainbow (although Don Airey is about the same). Freudian?

sf says on 26/Oct/06
Damn, - we're all really getting off topic. So, getting more off-topic - LA Guns is coming to my town (the fabulous Des Moines, IA) and is going to be signing cd's at a used cd store in the mall. How sad. Never was a big fan, although didn't mind some of the songs, but wonder what it must like to go from the top,to the used CD store in Des Moines, IA...

Middle-sized Cat says on 24/Oct/06
Ok, Boz Burrell was a singer in the '60s. He was offered a job in The Who (after Daltrey punched Moon!), but turned it down. He had a minor hit with 2 Dylan songs (I Shall Be Released / Down in the Flood) in '68 - Blackmore, Lord, Simper and Paice were backing band, on loan from new band Deep Purple. Boz joined King Crimson in '71 as singer, but Fripp taught him bass from scratch. Really. He was last of original 4 to join Bad Co, mainly as bassist. He showed a wacky sense of humour in the songs he wrote for BC. Oh, and he was 5'10" (I think). A sad loss, as was Cozy's.

D. Ray Morton says on 22/Oct/06
"Come Taste The Band.underated by fans and the public,but praised by musicians,famous or not."

"Getting' Tighter!" He changed the whole character of the band overnight. Instant funkfest.

Brad says on 21/Oct/06
Appice had that double bass set up and the monster kit with his name on it. He was just too loud for Rod. Tony Brock? I think he fit better. Kenney Jones always sucked. Daltrey just hated the 4-4 beat on every song. No fills. I never saw Purple with Bolin. I only saw him in clubs around "Teaser". Hal went through 7 wives & a Rolls, 6 figure incomes, etc.. I think he put out a comedy CD recently. Most beautiful gals at a rock show: Rod Stewart/Rick Springfield/McCartney/Buffett. Ugliest: Kiss/Crue/80's metal bands.

sf says on 21/Oct/06
Yes, I am definitely getting some Rainbow. Now the songs are stuck in my head. Used to listen to UFO when I was in 6th grade - my brother played "Lights Out" constantly. Don't remember one other damn song, except that...I have no insider or interesting comments at all regarding this, as everyone can tell....

D. Ray Morton says on 20/Oct/06
I'm a Bolin fiend to this day ("Teaser" is an all-time fave...and what about his work on Cobham's "Spectrum"?). Did you get to see him live with Purple?!

Appice was great with Rod in the late 70s, though Rod would famously refer to Carmine as "The Dentist - too many fill-ins!" Carmine would start playing a crazy fill and Stewart would glare back and point to his teeth. Appice had a way of stealing the show that threatened bandleaders.

Hal's a favorite of mine, as well. A real trailblazer in all sorts of ways. Lovely guy, too.

Brad says on 20/Oct/06
Tommy Bolin was amazing. I used to see him in 3.2 bars in Denver just tear the place up. Deep Purple was crashing but he really kicked that band though he did every drug in the world. I saw his bodyguard "Tiny" 15 years ago. He looked 6' 7" 450. A Suge Knight lookalike. Bolin was the tiny one. He went in flames 30 years ago. Carmine Appice's solo with Rod Stewart in '79 might have been the best solo I've ever seen. Hal Blaine is my favorite drummer of all time. His work on all the Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, Phillies, Tommy Roe hits etc. is copied to this day.

Anonymous says on 19/Oct/06
Phil Mogg is about 5' 8". Schenker is 5' 10". He's the fastest autographer I've ever seen. He signed the UFO/MSG catalog in under a minute. Pete Way is a drunk. I know somebody who saw him fall into a urinal. Who wears wigs in the rock world past and present. David Lee Roth/Arthur Lee/Herman from the Scorpions/Quiet Riot singer....

sf says on 19/Oct/06
No more off-topic than anyone else's at this point! Just said now I want to go buy some Rainbow, cause everyone keeps talking about it and I just heard "Man on the Silver Mountain". And, I said that I thought Triumph was another under-rated band. And, I said how great and wonderful you were Padraig....;-0

Middle-sized Cat says on 19/Oct/06
PS Yes, Mad Shadows and Brain Capers - Inspired chaos, deceptively well-played. Fantastic records. First album and Wildlife also great, but mellower. Spooky Tooth also rocked!

PS2 Schenker always huddles over his V-Guitar. Maybe his posture is poor now. Thought he was quite tall. Tonka Chapman must be quite tall too.

Anthony says on 18/Oct/06
Middle-sized Cat - thanks for the "All The Young Dudes" tidbit. Either way, I prefer Bowie's version. And yeah, "Golden Of Age Of Rock & Roll" is probably my favorite tune by them. Listening to them as well as Zep, The Who, etc. and all the other great classic hard rock bands makes me sickened at all the emo / rap crap out there today. I hate the music of my generation (I'm 15).

Danimal says on 18/Oct/06
Dio always raised the bar!!! He's been at it for 49 years now (his first recording). The man is in his mid 60's today and STILL powerful as ever! Eve if he's only 5'1"-5'4" and 130 pounds soaking wet!

Brad says on 18/Oct/06
Gillis was with Ozzy in NYC in '82. RR just died. Ozzy was like Frankenstein in front of the castle but they got through that leg of the tour. The Black Sabbath Heaven & Hell show at MSG (I think with B.O.C.) really was great. Dio kicked that band in the ass. They were on life support when I saw Van Halen just blow them off the stage two years before. Get the Smashing Orange MCA CD from '94. Jim Morrison arises and is backed by Nirvana. Incredible. Jane Wiedlin's (Go Go's) punk band Frosted CD from about 10 years ago is killer.

Anthony says on 17/Oct/06
I don't like Mott The Hoople's version of "All The Young Dudes". I prefer Bowie's original. "All The Way From Memphis", "Roll Away The Stone", & "Golden Age Of Rock 'N' Roll" are their best songs IMO & are all better than their version of "ATYD".

sf says on 17/Oct/06
Yea, but Mott The Hoople's one big hit wasn't even written by them, so it's hard to maybe give them as much respect as some. Rainbow's good. Sweet, while I like them, are a made-up band just like the Monkees and 3-Dog night. Doesn't mean they weren't good, though.

Brad says on 10/Oct/06
Yeah. I saw UFO open for Ozzy at Madison Square Garden in '82. They kicked ass even without MS. Mechanix just rocks. I need to get that CD, I've worn that album out like a tire. Hurricane from the big hair L.A. days was really good. Brothers of the Quiet Riot bass & guitar players if I remember. They just smoked. Smashing Orange was Jim Morrison fronting Nirvana. Their '94 MCA CD is just amazing. 99 cents all over. Catch it.

Middle-sized Cat says on 10/Oct/06
The most underrated hard rock band ever - UFO. The classic years with Schenker were up there with Purple, Zep and Lizzy, and some of the rest is as good. High Stakes & Dangerous Men, with Laurence Archer, was ace melodic hard rock. Phil Mogg has the perfect voice - R&B and rock in one.

Brad says on 9/Oct/06
I saw Soundgarden in a basement club. They were like early slow Sabbath circa '71. Lotta bottom end deep bass and moaning vocals. Nirvana was like a punk Cheap Trick. The Who were a Mod band. Mod became punk, dirtier clothes, cutting edge music for youth.

Anonymous says on 6/Oct/06
Yeah,weird how Plant is.I know based on conversations I had with him,he loves Moby Grape,Taj Mahal and obviously Love.all 3 Im for.not metal,but hard rocking at times.Vinny Appice,Bill Ward,Neil Peart,Tommy Aldridge are among my faves.forgot about The Outlaws.Page,Beck,Clapton and Blackmore used to go watch these unknown guitar players together and copy from them.

Middle-sized Cat says on 6/Oct/06
Funny to see that Planty hates Black Sabbath. He's also slagged off Deep Purple, but isn't silly enough to say they can't play. Ian Paice is about the most technically accomplished drummer in rock.

Still not knowingly heard any Soundgarden, but Audioslave are pretty neat.

Anthony says on 5/Oct/06
" You Really Got Me certainly played a big part, plus some early Who songs,"

A lot of people credit the early Who material for planting the early seeds of what was to become punk rock. "My Generation" is often considered to be the first punk rock song.

Anthony says on 4/Oct/06
I'm not very shocked that Page is an actual Satanist. I'm sure Plant and the others were into it (though last time I checked Plant I think got into that whole Indian mysticism stuff). I did creep me out when I first hear about it, but I generally try to forget about it when listening to them because I find it hard not to not listen to them, even if it disturbs me. They have too many great songs for that.

And yes, Page on "You Really Got Me" is definitley among the the first metal moments. The riff is probably the most well known recognized riff in rock and roll.

Danimal says on 4/Oct/06
Robert Plant to this day hates being associated in any way with Black Sabbath (they used to play the same pubs in 68-69, in Birmingham). Plant states that Bohnam said that Bill Ward had no talent and that Paranoid was @#!#@.

Ozzy never liked the term Metal and neither did Gene Simmons. He always said that it's rock n' roll and that's it. God of Thunder, War Machine and Unholy WAS metal, whether Gene admits to it or not.

Danimal says on 3/Oct/06
Metal was not meant to be happy music. It was supposed to be pissed off moody and doom like, which is what Sabbath brought to the table in 1968 and expanded upon in 1969-1970. They had a wall of sounds that NO ONE has ever come close to duplicating since. True legends. BTW, I love Zep too. I picked up a guitar because of Jimmy and Clapton and Iommi as well. Can't forget Hetfield too!

sf says on 23/Sep/06
Did some research, and found out I was wrong. At least one of the references I found said, that someone was describing Jimi Hendrix as heavy metal falling from the sky. Not Zep. Another reference said that someone related to Black Sabbath, I think, referred to them as having a sound like heavy metal.

Anthony says on 21/Sep/06
I'm not too much into metal. I'm more classic rock than anything. Led Zep, The Who, The Rolling Stones. I'd even lump GNR in their as well, even though compared to the others they're more contemporary. I jsut basically like any music that's not modern...or at least modern mainstream.

sf says on 21/Sep/06
Gotta say that Zep is one of my favorite bands and I'm still not sure how to categorize them. I don't consider them metal or hard rock, but I'm not sure what you call them. Much of their music is deeply rooted in the blues. And, they just kind of take it from there. That's part of the reason I like them - their uniqueness. I mean, nobody (at least to me) sounds like Led Zeppelin. (unless your David Coverdale trying to sound like Robert Plant) Just like no one sounds like Pink Floyd, etc. Yea, they're overplayed, but still great.

Anthony says on 20/Sep/06
Sorry if I came as snotty. As a huge Zeppelin fan, I have a tendency to be a bit snotty and pretentious. Nothing against you. I'm not really a metalhead (I have a hard time considering Zep a true metal band because I think it somewhat pigeonholes their diversity).

Middle-sized Cat says on 20/Sep/06
Didn't mean to start a musical discussion, but it was a good one! Thanks, guys. For my money (and personnel changes notwithstanding), Purple are even more diverse than Zeppelin. They pioneered a Classical slant on hard rock, Mk.1 were heavy before Zep, and Mk.3 invented funk metal with Stormbringer (which Zep seemed to respond to with Phys. Graf. a year later). Houses of the Holy is Zep's most adventurous album - almost Prog - but I think 2 is way heavier than Presence. Planty's voice changed after 4 - became poppier - and they left 2 of the best '78/9-era songs off In Through the Out Door (Darlene and Wearing & Tearing. Both bands, though, are swell.

Mott the Hoople, contemporaries of Zep and Purp, are all an inch apart: Overend Watts - 6'; Ian Hunter - 5'11"; Mick Ralphs - 5'10"; Verden Allen - 5'9"; and Buffin - 5'8". Neat, eh? : )

Brad says on 17/Sep/06
Ya had to see Zeppelin live before judgement. I saw them 6 times. '75 was the best though Page was big time zoned out. Bolin I'd see in 3.2 bars in Colorado once in awhile '75-'76. He was 5' 7" if that. Really talented player but a major chemical in-take artist. I thought Hughes was taller. He must have had big boots on. The guy still won't stop talking about Bolin and its been 30 years.

Anthony says on 16/Sep/06
"Presence" sucks. It's their worst album. There's four good songs ("Achilles' Last Stand", "Nobody's Fault But Mine", "For Your Life" and "Candy Store Rock") and that's about it. I suppose they are played out, but you can say that about just about every great band. In regards to Deep Purple, "Smoke On The Water" is just as overexposed as "Stairway To Heaven".

But alas, let's not discuss this here.

John says on 13/Sep/06
Saw these guys a concert in nyc. Plant was 6 page was 5'9. Jones alittle shorter than Page. Bonam was short and fat. theyre road crew were totally rude. Plant was same as me 6feet. Kept complaning about the stage.

Brad says on 9/Sep/06
I don't think I ever seen him stand straight onstage. Even when he was blasted with lasers in 1975 at The Nassau Coliseum he still folded over holding his pick at the crowd when he was doing the wizard noise-making. That was the loudest show I've ever been to. Ear shattering. Page would be 6'.

Marc says on 2/Sep/06
Brad: the guitarist in my band is a solid 6'0", but with his guitar on his back, slouches a bit, so he's about 5'11. I stand up straight usually, and am 5'11", so we match height if he is wearing his guitar during practice or a gig. Page probably gives the impression he is shorter because of guitarists' tendency to slouch whil playing; this behavior continues when they are away from their instruments, too.

Brad says on 8/Aug/06
Hard to tell in the 70's onstage as he wore boots & those funky platform shoes. Bad posture is correct. 6' is about right. Most of Songs Remains The Same movie was filmed on a soundstage much later. The recording was overdub city. I asked Plant this and he kinda laughed and said "aaah welllll...". I watched Stevie Nicks do a Red Rocks concert after the concert!. Get those close-ups!

Anthony says on 23/Jul/06
"As I said on the Plant entry, Page didn't look very tall to me on the pics I've seen. Both Plant and Bonham look noticeably taller and Jones is a tad taller also."

Actually, in most pics I've seen of the band, Page and Bonham always look more or less the same height. Bonham was about 5'11 or 6'. Look at that pic in D. Ray Morton's post, there is virtually no difference between them. Bonham always looked like a big dude, in height as well as size. Page generally looked as big as him.

Pat says on 8/Jul/06
Right, Page and Plant both are tall, and have long legs.

Before any age-related osteoporosis started to show, Plant was 6'2 (without his boots with heels, which were a mainstay!)

After '77...Page's posture frequently made him appear a bit shorter, although still a tall guy- I'd put him at 6 ft.

Anthony says on 7/May/06
Plant and Page are big guys. I love Zeppelin, and I learn as much as I can about them, including the members' heights. Plant is definitely over 6', 6'2 seems about right, and Page looks about 5'10 1/2 to 5'11 to me.

Jah says on 20/Mar/06
I have met both Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. I was shocked at how big Plant was during the Manic Nirvana tour and shortly after there was a Musician interview with him in which it started out by saying that he was 6'4". That seems about right to me. When I met Page he seemed at least 6' to me, and if you look at the pictures of him next to Plant you'll see he's not a whole lot shorter. Bonham was close to, and when you hear him play drums it sounds like a giant!

I hung out with Page at his table in a bar for a while during the Outrider tour in '88. He was a bit taller than me and Im 5'10", so I would think 5'11" is about right. In 1982 I met Plant on the set of MTV. My 6'2" cousin was with me and Plant was definitely a good in or more taller, Id have to say at least 6'3. Granted he probably had boots on, but he's gotta well over 6'....

Robert Plant was marginally shorter than David Letterman in 2002 (4 years ago). Whatever David's height is, subtract about an inch and you get Roberts's height and then subtract a couple more and you get Jimmy's.
