About this photograph

Peter Simon photographed Robert Plant gazing down upon a huge billboard of Led Zeppelin's album Physical Graffiti on the Sunset Strip from the balcony of the "Riot House" at the Hyatt Hotel in Hollywood.⁠

This is one of Simon's best known photographs, and it captures the Led Zeppelin frontman at the height of both his and the band's careers.⁠ "As I took this photo on assignment with Stephen Davis for Atlantic Monthly, Plant shouted out 'I'm a golden god'" - Peter Simon
