 "It's a concert "CLIP""Yep, I was very dissapoint when I noticed that only 40% of the film is a footage, I would give this 5 stars if it a full lenght concert film. The Bad Part: 1.The first part of the film that show some movie clips of the band members is quite interesting but it went tooooo long. 2.You will see clip that show the band members riding a horses instead of play their instruments while the concert is going on. 3.Dazed and Confused, I have no complain about the song, it's great!!! espectially the violin part but then........during some interesting effect you'll see Jimmy climbing up a mountain and next time you see the band is when Jimmy DONE his violin bowing!!!!!!! 4.Moby Dick, You'll see Bonzo work in his farm more often than playing drums. 5.Heartbreaker, I'm not sure if they want us to see the band playing or watching news about the money stolen. 6.The band themself sometimes look lackluster. The Good Part: 1.The footage of many songs is very good. 2.You'll see clip of JPJ during his solo on No Quater and it's interesting. 3.The magician clip during violin part in Dazed and Confued is totally high art!!!. 4.Stairway To Heaven is cool!! but not as great as the one from Earl's Court that includeed in "Led Zeppelin" dvd 5.Full lenght of Whole Lotta Love!!! If you're a casual fan you should buy "Led Zeppelin" instead of this one.But some song here like The Song Remain The Same,The Rain Song, and Heartbreaker that the band play very often on the stage during their career sadly not include in their full length on "Led Zeppelin" dvd.  "Must have for All ZEP FANS!"This is by far the best live concert dvd i've ever seen! it's awesome! The camera is positioned perfectly throughout the film and the sound is great. Jimi page is awesome, as are the rest of the band. Watch this and get a better appreciation for the best rock n' roll group ever!!! "Led Zeppelin Remains the Same...AWESOME !!"The Song Remains the same was made back in '76 and is basically footage of the 1973 Houses of the Holy tour concert in Madison Square Gardens, NY. The movies is a hybrid of the concert and fantasy sequences that the band filmed themselves. I have watched this movie over and over again. the music is of course awesome...and some of the songs are played better live than they are on the original albums....the particular song that comes to mind is "The Rain Song". the fantasy sequence in the rain song is amazing too. Other songs they play include "Since I've been loving You", "Dazed and Confused", "Stairway to Heaven" & "Rock and Roll". A must have for any Led head! "For pure Zep fans............"Some people may not find this DVD as capturing as I do, but if you're a true Zeppelin fan it's almost a must-have. The real genius of these musicians can be seen in this presentation. Four of the best at what they do in action. Yes,it has some faults but lets not forget that this was created back in the mid-70's & was an after-thought rather than a planned project. If you have trouble staying awake through "Dazed" then you are not a true Zep fan, which is not a crime. Personally, it's one of my favorite tracks as it shows Page at his finest(best rock guitarist IMO). One may not care for the version of "Stairway to Heaven" at 1st but it grows on you. If I had a gripe it would be that they didn't put the same tracks on the CD set as that are in the movie. Other than that, I can live with any other shortcomings one may point out. "Beyond awesome!!!"Required for every LZ fan. The Song Remains the Same is awesome!!!!!!!!!! |
