Jimmy Page 2002 Royal Albert Hall Zoso Signed Screen Print Artist Proof
For Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall
This Jimmy Page signed print celebrates his appearance at Teenage Cancer Trust’s Royal Albert Hall concerts on 9 February 2002, when he joined Paul Weller and an extraordinary line-up of guests for one of the standout nights from the early years of the series.
The original 100-copy edition is now sold out, but a very small number of artist proofs remain. These were produced alongside the main run as part of the printmaking process, giving the artist and printer a chance to assess the finished colours, registration and overall result before the edition was completed. Artist proofs are kept separate from the standard numbered copies, so they form a much smaller and distinct part of the release. These examples are hand signed by Jimmy Page, making them one of the rarest versions of the print.
The artwork was created by Matt Glasby, who gives the poster the scale and drama you would expect from its subject. The Royal Albert Hall sits at the centre of an intricate psychedelic composition filled with sweeping decorative lines, vivid reds, oranges and cool blue-grey tones. Page’s name stretches across the top in distorted lettering, while his famous Zoso symbol is worked into the design as part of a broader visual language that immediately connects the piece to Led Zeppelin.
The performance behind the poster was equally distinctive. Teenage Cancer Trust’s 2002 concerts brought together an exceptional group of artists, and on the final night Jimmy Page joined Paul Weller and his Big Band, alongside guests including Robert Plant, Gary Moore, Noel Gallagher, Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey. The encore included Page performing Dazed and Confused, placing one of rock’s most recognisable guitarists at the heart of a night created to support young people with cancer.
Page’s importance to rock music is difficult to overstate. As guitarist, producer and one of the driving creative forces behind Led Zeppelin, his approach to riffs, arrangement, recording and guitar tone helped reshape the possibilities of rock music. From the weight of Whole Lotta Love to the dynamics of Stairway to Heaven, his influence runs through generations of guitar music. Led Zeppelin’s own archive describes Page as a founder of the band and producer of its recordings, alongside his role as lead guitarist.
For Teenage Cancer Trust, this print is also part of a much bigger story. Our Royal Albert Hall concerts began in 2000 and quickly became a meeting point for some of the biggest names in British music. Jimmy Page’s 2002 appearance sits firmly within that history, and this artist proof gives collectors a direct connection to both the performance and the artwork created to commemorate it.
A message from Jimmy Page
“I was contacted by my daughter Scarlet Page relating to a project that was for the Teenage Cancer Trust. In February 2002, I played Dazed & Confused at one of the nights at the Royal Albert Hall, with Paul Weller topping the bill that evening. This project involves signing some posters in aid of the Trust. My daughter came round to my house with the prints in order for me to sign them. When the package was unwrapped, I was totally dazzled by the artwork that had been created by illustrator Matt Glasby. I enthusiastically completed the signing for such a worthy and well-respected cause.”
