Please, Could Someone Produce The Blu Ray Of This Dvd?
Exclamations of religious awe are in order. Legendary and long sought-
after, this live Led Zeppelin collection is nothing less than the rock music
equivalent of the Holy Grail. Quite simply, this is what all the fuss was
about. Given that they were the biggest band in the world, Zeppelin
were notoriously camera-shy in their heyday. Their official filmic legacy
until now has been just the fascinating but flawed The Song Remains the
Same. While this new set presents some previously unseen footage from
the same 1973 Madison Square Garden gigs, its real wonders lie in the
earlier (1970) Royal Albert Hall footage and the later Earls Co urt (1975)
and Knebworth (1979) concerts. Everything here looks and sounds new-
minted, thanks to painstaking restoration and remastering of both audio
and visual sources, a Herculean labor of love on the part of co-producer
Dick Carruthers working hand-in-glove with Jimmy Page. Trawling through
thousands of yards of previously unseen film and unheard tape recordings-
-some with missing visuals, some with missing audio--Page and
Carruthers have chosen only the best possible footage available. They
were also at pains to make the segments segue seamlessly so that the
viewer is treated to what feels like a continuous concert--just sample the
transition from a grainy Super 8 Immigrant Song (Sydney, 1972) to Black
Dog at MSG. Highlights? Its not hyperbole to say that every
powerhouse minute of this collection (some 230 minutes of concert footage
plus another hour and a half of extra DVD material) is a rare musical and
visual treat. But hearing Pages violin bow work on Dazed and Confused in
DTS or Dolby 5.1 is an experience not soon forgotten. --Mark Walker
This is a far better DVD set than the Song remains the same You get two
DVD s instead of just one. You also get at one or two live performances
that were cut from the original Song remains the same. video. The sound
quality is outstandingly done in PCM stereo and Dolby Digital and DTS
Surround. Another great thing about this set is there are live performances
of songs like Nobodys fault but mine, Kashmir and many others that are
not on Song remains the same. If you are huge fan of Led Zeppelin then
this DVD is for you. Highly recommended.
