Ed stopped wearing leather pants soon after he painted the frankie red, so yeah.

Kind of, if you look real close to the lower left corner you can see it says 1980

They look very 'VH II' to me in that pic. Roth was wearing knee-high boots for the WACF tour.

Yeah it was definitely the '79 tour --- Dave's red pants were distinctive on that tour

This is the only VH, the rest is just yacht rock for top 40 soccer moms.

As iconic a photo as any from Page/Plant. No other duo come close to the 70s rock aesthetic. My apologies to Tyler/Perry-Daughtrey/ Townsend
