New Led Zeppelin


I've just bought the new Zep DVD-a double disc set featuring 5 hours of Zep coverage from '69-'79-the visuals aren't always pristine but the sound is awesome.
Features loads of different snippets from various locations-funniest being a French TV performance where a whole orchestra can be seen watching on alongside a frankly bemused looking audience who look as if they've turned up for an evening of classical music and Zep just blast it out.
Also picked up the triple live CD How The West Was Won-again the sound is awesome-haven't heard it all in detail but it mashes TSRTS soundtrack in it's wake-looks a little overblown in places but some nice unusual tracks to hear.
Both essential for Zeppelin fans and it really strikes home how brilliant they were in their heyday.

Tvad-my understanding is no although sometimes the audio and film were sourced differently from the same performance.
The version of Immigrant Song on the second disc from Australia is the only performance were seperate film (Ausralia) and music (America) have been spliced from completely different sources which would explain the jerky frame effect used as obviously it would be impossible to match them.
Of course it wouldn't be hard to imagine the odd overdub to smooth the thing out.
I think what maybe disproves this to a large extent is how selective they've been on editing the actual gigs.
Earl's Court and Knebworth filming must amount to at least 6 to 7 hours of material-on the disc itself it's edited down to (guessing now) about 2.5 hours.
I think there were probably ropey performances in there which simply didn't make the disc.................
