'First Performance' lithograph update

This update about the limited edition lithograph of the First Performance of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and John Bonham comes from a satisfied customer in Wisconsin who writes:

Steve,

Thank you for letting us know about Jorgen Angel's lithograph of the First Performance. I received my print late last week, and it has already become one of my prized possessions -- along with all of my Chicago Bears memorabilia, which is not an easy feat to accomplish.

When you mentioned the lithograph on July 7, I almost didn't bother to check out the information on it because I assumed that the cost would be several hundred dollars. But now that I have the print, I think I probably would have been willing to pay considerably more than the $85 I spent (including shipping).

And I also wondered what kind of "customer service" I would receive, given the fact that my money had to travel to Copenhagen, and then the print had to travel from there to the US. I think the entire turnaround time was just over two weeks, with Jorgen emailing me a couple of times along the way, giving me updates about my check being received and the mailing of the print. He even asked that I let him know when I received it. What an all-around good guy. I highly, highly recommend this to everyone in LZHistory Land.

Remember: Only 750 of these limited, numbered items exist. You can order yours today at http://www.angel.dk/. Please tell Jorgen that Steve "The Lemon" sent you!

About the author

Steve "The Lemon" Sauer is a writer and musician based in Boca Raton, Fla., who has dedicated a portion of his life researching the history of rock group Led Zeppelin and monitoring the ongoing careers of the band's surviving members. Although he was barely a year old when Led Zeppelin broke up and it took him until his teen years to appreciate the music, it didn't take long to make up for it.

Steve is currently a contributing writer and consultant for Get the Led Out, a weekly syndicated radio program hosted by Carol Miller and syndicated in 100 U.S. markets including New York and Los Angeles. He also provides content for a Web site associated with the radio show, www.LedZepOnline.com.

In 2007, Steve launched Lemon Squeezings: Led Zeppelin News to cover the lead-up to the band's reunion concert at the end of that year. Since then, he has closely examined every rumor of a followup tour since then, often dispelling or clarifying misinformation perpetrated by the mainstream media. Using his journalistic training, Steve has also uncovered some facts and accounts previously unreported elsewhere.

At age 18, he began publishing On This Day In Led Zeppelin History, a daily newsletter detailing the interactions of members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, and their manager, Peter Grant. The newsletter is located at www.OnThisDayInLedZeppelinHistory.com.

He enjoys uncovering stories and has employed various methods to communicate those stories to Led Zeppelin's vast fan base, utilizing terrestrial radio and the many facets of the Internet: from Usenet newsgroups to plain e-mail and now Facebook and Twitter. Steve also connects with live audiences when performing as a backup vocalist and keyboard player with various bands, including past onstage appearances with three cover or tribute acts performing the music of Led Zeppelin.

Do you have a news tip to share with Steve? Do you have something you would like him to write about? Would you like to book him for a speaking engagement? He can be contacted by e-mail at Steve at LedZeppelinNews.com.
