Led Zeppelin & Robert Plant — Original Shadow Box Display | Knebworth 1979 & Solo Years | Showcase Piece | Donnie “DK” Kretzschmar’s Closet

This item is a personal showcase piece from the Kretzschmar family collection and is not available for purchase.

A one-of-a-kind shadow box display assembled from artifacts personally collected by Donnie “DK” Kretzschmar and his family across decades on the road with Led Zeppelin and Robert Plant. Four items. Four stories.

• Jimmy Page — Violin Bow, Knebworth, August 1979
  The actual bow used by Jimmy Page during Led Zeppelin’s legendary Knebworth performance. Busted at one end from use during the show, and given to DK personally after the performance. SHOWCO handled production for Knebworth, one of the most iconic concerts in rock history.
• John Bonham — Drumstick, Knebworth, August 1979
  A drumstick from the Knebworth shows. During rehearsal, a 7-year-old Indigo Kretzschmar played on Bonham’s kit with Jason Bonham — while Dad was working the show — and received the stick firsthand. A moment that speaks to what it meant to grow up inside the SHOWCO world.
• Robert Plant — Gold Plated Shure Microphone
  Given to DK during Robert Plant’s solo years, when DK served as Plant’s monitor engineer. A direct gift from Plant to the man behind his sound.
• John Paul Jones — Guitar/Bass Pick
  From the personal collection.

These are not reproductions. These are not memorabilia market finds. These are artifacts that passed directly from the hands of Led Zeppelin and Robert Plant to the people who made their shows happen — and the family who grew up alongside them.
