I'm really a lucky man.Luckier enough to have this kind of work in my collection of cds, and now DVDs.This is an astonishing performance of one of the best rock'n roll bands ever.The performance of Jimmy Page is here,something i've never saw before and reveals all of the charismatic portrait this band ever had,specially among the brazilian youngers of my generation. The presence of Led Zeppelin music was a constant in my entire life.And what music!!!!! This is a fantastic gift to all of the new fans of good intense sensuous,amazing music.The performance of the band at "Dazed and Confused"is stelar!"Stairway to Heaven"perhaps the most beautiful music ever recorded.Finally,all of this music is a journey since the light begining,until the catharsis at that triumphant final!!A gem of the modern music.Something to get always at a special place of any great musical cds/DVDs collection!!!! "A Remarkable Burst of Ego" Led Zeppelin was the greatest hard rock band anybody has ever seen. They produced an extraordinary amount of material within a decade. This was best examplified when Jimmy Page released the humongous 'Led Zeppelin' box set in 1990. In "The Song Remains the Same," the musical prowess of each member shines throughout the entire concert. Listening to Led Zeppelin is like listening to the Shakespeare of hard rock. My only beef is the length of the songs played. "Dazed and Confused" is way too long, clocking in at a half an hour, while "Whole Lotta Love" finishes at just over ten minutes. While this film certainly shows the great song writing ability of the band and musical ability, the concert seems to be more of a chance for the band to show off rather than entertain the crowd. "A Movie Of Hope." First of all, this is a great movie. Maybe it wasnt the best performance Zeppelin gave, and maybe it has some editing problems. NEVERTHELESS it is Awesome! This movie will change your life. This is the greatest rock concert movie of all time, period. Ignore Leonard Maltin and the others, the fantasy sequences work. And they add to the movie. The DVD really brings out the vivid colors and the sound is great. You can see the details and I heartily recommend it. The fantasy sequences dont interfere with the concert footage and they give you insight into the personalities of the band members. Jones is a dark avenger riding through the graveyard at night in a midevil village. Plant a king Arthur who finds a sword and a fair maiden after a journey through the forest in the springtime. Page a sorcerer who meets himself on the mountain in the dark forest. And Bonham, a pool playing, beer drinking, car racing family man. This concert still holds up today and there is nothing like it. Ive watched it over a 100 times over the last 10 years and I still never get bored of it. There's always something new to see. It ranks up there with Star Wars and The Wizard of OZ, an all time classic. This movie is a gift, from Thor and his band LED ZEPPELIN. "The band was right, it was an off night" As a collector of Zeppelin live shows, it is disappointing that the only official chronicle of one of the 3 greatest live bands of the '70s (Zep, Floyd, WHO...honorable mention to the Stones) was from the ill fated Houses of the Holy tour. Maybe Jimmy will finally do us all justice and finally release both a cd and video anthology of the vast amount of high quality live Zeppelin material. Until then, this is what we have........ "Led the Best" I love this movie, but I do sometimes hate live concerts, cause they change the tone on which the songs are usually performed, and I can't follow the song. But this is a cool movie, and the John Bonham 10 minute drum solo is Fu**ing great.
