Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 180 Average rating: 4.0 "Led Zeppelin film/fans deserve better...* **" I would like to elaborate on two quotes by another reviewer.*, ** 1) "..The sound is excellent on this DVD, but as another reviewer noted: the 'fake' widescreen matte leaves much to be desired. How about a *remastered*, Special Edition DVD version in *anamorphic widescreen* with *all* of the outtake live performance footage (e.g. 'Celebration Day') as extras?" * I agree: This description is exactly the kind of DVD I would buy and give 5 stars for. In view of film preservation, this version is inaccurate and imcomplete. I too would prefer the very best special edition possible. As much as I want to watch and relive this film experience again, I can't under the present circumstances-paying money now for the current version would mean I am in agreement with the cheapened mindset of the agency responsible. Fans should unite and press the issue upon Led Zep management to get to work on releasing the film as described above. Maybe Jimmy Page is the one who would be able to get the ball rolling... 2) "n.b.--Jimmy Page never played a Les Paul Custom [DVD front cover illustration] onstage with Zeppelin." **...Absolutely. Futhermore, this cover has nothing to do with the movie-where's the MOVIE POSTER??? The proposed Special Edition DVD should include the ORIGINAL MOVIE POSTER artwork. I cannot believe someone would make such an oversight. - what is up with that guitar on the cover of the current DVD??? - Its a gross display of inaccuracy and negligence that should be corrected at once. "zeppelin freak" This movie was so awsome I LOVE zeppelin "Could Be Better" Ok when i bought this video i thought it wuz just pure music like led zeppelin live... well turns out itss more like a spinal tap than a live concert.. but it was ok .... i liked a few of the songs but like on rock and roll robert plant has a really low voice. but like i said b4 the video was pretty good. iguess if your a really big fan of zeppelin you'll like this cd but if your just a casual fan i'd skip it and buy the led zeppelin dvd if u want a video of them.... "Disappointing" I use to be a big fan back in the day, and I recall enjoying this video a lot. Many years later, I am not quite so enthralled as I once was. Most of Page's solos are pretty sloppy IMHO, and Plant is off quite a bit as well. Some decent performances (Moby Dick is probably the best), but most are mediocore. As for the dream sequences, a bit goofy, but not that bad. Some interesting footage worked in as well. Worth a look if your a fan, but I would prefer to see a better performance from these guys. "Good for Zep fanatics. Loses its charm for others." You know already whether you'll like this DVD -- if you're listening to Led Zeppelin right now, then by all means buy this DVD. Those less enamored with the band may find that there's a lot of self-indulgent crap here, and the band seems to be mailing it in on many of the songs. Of course it is the drugs, and fatigue of being on the road, but the listless performances suggest they didn't really care all that much.
