Summary: Sort of good, sort of not so good
Review: Admittedly, Led Zeppelin's only concert film is the kind of thing that only the real fans will be able to get into completely. The movie is overlong, frought with sometimes-tiresome fantasy sequences and riddled with annoying cuts (in the middle of songs, no less). But on the other hand, there's nothing quite like seeing the band live, and they do bring a fair amount of energy to songs like 'No Quarter', 'Whole Lotta Love' and the indispensible 'Stairway to Heaven'. These were not their very best concerts, but they are good nonetheless. While non-Zep fans will probably be bored, this movie is a treat for the band's core fans.

Summary: Powerful Concert Film
Review: I like a variety of music,like:jazz,rock,r&b,classical etc.This to me is Led Zeppelin's best live concert so far.The BBC sessions cd dosen't come close.They were to me just progressing more as a concert act in concert,improvising and ab libing and everything.The Song Remains The Same is were it is for this and the BBC cd is just the beginning embryo stage.I like this film a lot and would appreciate it more if the DVD had some extras:like outakes and interviews with the surviving Zeppelin band members and most defenitally more concert footage and remastering.I hope they are reading this so someday they can hop to it,getting it done. Gimmie Shelter,The Wall,Spinal Tap and The Doors are now out as Special Edition DVD's and I hope they can do the same for this fantastic movie.Keep on rockin'!

Summary: This one goes to ELEVEN!
Review: For this movie to be viewed in its proper context, it should be seen immediately after a screening of SPINAL TAP! It is absolute, freaking Comic GENIUS! The way John Paul Jones got stuck in that pod?! Or Peter Grant, beating up on a TV set with a cricket bat! Or the party Jimmy Page was at, (you know, with that wench from the Nanny?) when they couldn't come up with a name for the album (later known as UNTITLED)? Unspeakably hilarious....

Summary: amazing
Review: The words to express what I felt about this DVD, and Led Zeppelin in general, dissapeared with the Elven language; in other words, I can't explain my feelings toward Zep with normal words. This DVD helped me to get in touch with my inner Zep. I loved it so much; I watch it all the time. With Led Zeppelin's music I feel safe, like I'm being watched over. I pray to Led Zeppelin, and everything I ask for comes true. Jimmy Page is like the Merlyn, Rob Plant is King Arthur and an Elf, JJP is an Elven wizard, and John Bonham (gods bless him) is like a "barbarian" warrior. Everything about the mighty Zeppelin is amazing, and, while the feeling of the mental ... comes out in the music, it also comes out in the sight of the four greatest musicians that ever graced the Earth. I loved this, and so will any Zeppelin fan, and even those who aren't Zeppelin fans (but no ... who think Witchcraft and Shamanism is ... worship (which it isn't)).

Summary: Led Zeppelin WERE majestic, but ONLY a part of God.
Review: In the "Editorials" Section, there was a saucer-eyed review by a guy from Pennsylvania.To set this all in context, I saw the Zeppelin fly in concert three times, including Robert Plant's all-time personally rated best performance, the legendary San Francisco/Kezar Stadium appearance in early Summer 1973. For the sake of brevity, I'll have to save those details for another time and forum. Sorry, folks, but it WAS BOSS!!! Anyway, I have a very wide range of musical tastes and have found God just as easily in seeing Herbie Hancock (Jazz) in concert; hearing Django Reinhardt (Jazz, again); listening to Classical French Romantic to Recent Pipe Organ music (both live and recorded); and seeing both Albert King and John Lee Hooker (Blues). I have seen Link Wray, and Black Sabbath (SIX times!!), and those legends do have their own styles, but you can find God just as well, and they're in the SAME genre as the Zepps. Why, on the Sabbs' "Dehumanizer" tour, I saw Tony Iommi do an amazing 20-odd minute free-form solitarty solo in his own right. He looked as if he were in deep meditation during this segment of this performance. The Sabbs must have played close to THREE HOURS, in Oakland in 1992. So I don't dash/disabuse poor Saucer Eyes of his perceptions entirely, I will voice a vast amount agreement with him that "Song . . ." has to be in the top five, if not the top seven rock films of all time. Here's a Robert Plant fantasy that I'd like to see. For those of you who are also fans of Anne Rice's "Vampire Chronicles", I'd always felt Robert was the perfect Vampire Marius, Lestat's patient mentor. I have no idea why Robert isn't appearing in the sequels to "Interview with the Vampire". He'd look just dandy with a set of stiletto fangs! And Catherine Zeta-Jones as his paramour, the Vampiress Pandora!

Summary: A Remarkable Zeppelin Wonder!
Review: This DVD showcases Led Zeppelin in their glory years in the early to mid seventies. It has some truely awesome footage from their 1973 Madison Square Garden appearance in which they played some of their greastest hits like heartbreaker, stairway to heaven, and black dog. This is a must have for any hardcore led zeppelin fan. I found myself watching some of these live scenes time after time, its a great DVD not to be passed up!

Summary: Okay...
Review: I was born in 1977 (around the time they cancelled the tour when Plant's son died), so I never got to see the Zep in concert. So I was pretty excited when I heard that this video was available a while back. But there are a few things that I noticed. Plant sounded like he was losing his voice, the music wasn't always synched with the video, too many "cheesy" (IMO anyway) effects, etc. This couldn't possibly have been the best footage available, could it? As much of a ZepHead as I am, I still cannot call this the best representation of them on film. It isn't, from what I've seen otherwise. Most expensive home movie ever made? Feels like it. I enjoyed the music, but the visual needed more work.

Summary: I wish there was more live Zep
Review: I like this DVD. I also have the CD, and musically, it's a pretty mediocre performance. The band sounds tired and I have a lot of better sounding bootleg shows from that same period in Zeppelin's career. To make matters worse, Madison Square Gardens isn't known for being all that acoustically happening. Fortunately, the live footage is tight and the video remastering is well done. You get to see how they reigned on stage, and that does add quite a lot of impact to the tunes. The audio crew gets it dialed after the first 15 minutes, and from there on, it's a decent-sounding show. I could do without the band's personal fantasy sequences, simply because I want to see more of the musicians doing their thing. But, hey, it's always a hoot seeing Bonzo doing anything. And the first time I saw a light-sabre in Star Wars, I thought of this movie. If you never saw them live, view this DVD and you get some idea of what made them such a colossal impact on rock. If you like Led Zeppelin then this is a must-have disc.

Summary: Four Words: LED ZEPPELIN IS GOD
Review: I had never seen a concert film before, but after seeing this one, I feel that no others will ever favorably match up! The live performance is unbelievable, Bonham's hard-hitting drums, Jones' phat bass, Page's GODLIKE guitar playing and Plant's emotion-filled vocals make this the best live performace package I have ever heard/seen. Particularly notable tracks are "Dazed and Confused" with its myriad of speeds and styles, let alone Page's intense, scorching solo and of course the guitar/violin bow combination, the classic "Stairway to Heaven" where Page again blows away everyone in MSG with an outstanding solo and Plant's voice puts the crowd in a angelic state of mind, and of course "Whole Lotta Love" with its intense sexual overtones and overall quality performance. The fantasy scenes are engaging and lend an insight into the minds of Led Zeppelin. My particular favorite is Plant's Celtic fantasy. This is a film that must be watched in its entirety to get the full effect, no skipping of fantasy scenes. This film is an essential must-have for any Zep fan or fan of classic rock!
