Who is the man on the cover of the Led Zeppelin album "In Through the Out Door"?

I don't think the name of the "man at the bar" is known: Each of the photos shows the view that person had of a man at the bar dressed in white, who bears a passing resemblance to Jimmy Page, setting fire to a small white piece of paper. The bar that Aubrey Powell may have been trying to recreate for the cover picture is the Old Absinthe Bar, at 400 Bourbon Street, just around the corner from the Royal Orleans hotel in New Orleans. http://www.buckeye-web.com/ifmtl3.html The six covers are here: http://www.led-zeppelin.com/disc-lzittod.html">www.led-zeppelin.com It was Led Zeppelin's manager, Peter Grant ... Brainstorming with Jimmy Page, Grant further suggested that these six distinct covers should be hidden in identical brown paper bags, stamped with Led Zeppelin's name, the album title and the track listing. .. Storm Thorgerson, of the renowned art design company Hipgnosis, took the idea from there. He suggested that each of the covers should be a variation on the theme of a man in a bar who has just received a "Dear John" letter. The staff of Hipgnosis took on the project, having in the past designed the covers for Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy and Presence. Aubrey Powell built a set to replicate bars in New Orleans. Peter Christopherson handled the lighting. Richard Manning transformed the images shot in the bar into prints and colored them, giving them a sepia tone so that they looked like vintage photos. The six different album covers are all of nearly the same scene but from the points of view of the six people in the bar, other than the heartbroken man who was the centerpiece of each shot. http://members.aol.com/lzhistory/dec.html">www.lzhistory.com Jul 24 04, 1:21 AM
