Review: Short and simple...Second best thing to seeing the Greatest band ever live. Now if I can get my time machine to work I'll tell you how 1970 Royal Albert Hall was in person, but until then I doesnt get any better.

Summary: Led Zeppelin Live.... What else can you say?
Review: Never before has a concert DVD been so highly anticipated. This DVD is long overdue for Zep fans. I've never heard a DVD sound so good. If I turn my receiver up 3/4 to max volume, it feels like you are actually at a live show. This is hands down the best DVD concert I have ever seen!

Summary: Simply Awesome
Review: The best rock video ever. It's pure concert footage. Far better than the Song Remains the Same. If you like Zep, rock and roll, metal or any combination of these, you're in for a once in a lifetime treat.

Summary: I Have Been To The Mountain Top & Seen The Zep DVD....
Review: I first saw TSRTS in 1984 when I was 12 & I instantly became a fan for life. Four years later I started collecting bootlegs & I got a poor video copy of RAH 1970 & I could not believe that this concert was never released officially. Despite the terrible, and I mean terrible, sound & picture you could tell that this band was on fire. Fifteen years later & few morsels of poor copies of "Danish TV", "Supershow", "Tous En Scene", "Knebworth 8/11/79", & "Kashmir" & "Ten Years Gone" from Knebworth 8/4/79 on MTV, my prayers were finally answered; an official visual release from Zeppelin. I truly thought I'd die before that day happend. The RAH show is phenomenal! Fans & former naysayer's are finally getting to see what I've known for years; that these guys were everything that rock music should & could be. There were even a few surprises from RAH I hadn't seen before, like the awesome version of "How Many More Times", a blistering "Bring It On Home", & a very lyrical version of "What Is...". The highlight for me then & now are the totally punk (yeah, you heard me, I said "punk") versions of Eddie Cochran's "C'mon Everybody" & "Something Else". This ain't your "Hobbit" Zeppelin but the true ass-kicking band that they were. It's worth the price alone. The MSG 73' section is great too. I never cared for live versions of "Misty Mountain Hop" but the DVD has changed my mind. The remixing has done wonders to the bootleg copies I've heard of "MMH" through the years. I love the new "Since I've Been Loving You", the visuals are so much better then on TSRTS. "The Ocean"... the best surprise on the DVD. If you ever wondered why they never reformed after Bonham's death, here's your answer. The interplay between Bonham & Page is as tight as a vice & as loose as a goose. Even the Bonzo introduction of "We've done 4 already but now..." is priceless. Earl's Court is great too. I love the acoustic set. Jones really shines on mandolin during "...California" & "That's The Way"; & "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp" is pure fun. Surprisingly, I even really liked "Stairway..." no matter how jaded countless listens have made me(though I will always be partial to TSRTS version). A real treat is the Knebworth section. I've always heard it was awful which is not the case at all. If you're a bigger fan of the 30 plus minutes versions of "Dazed & Confused" from the early days I can see where a fan might be disappointed, but if you like "songs" as opposed" to "jams" hopefully you won't be. A few of the songs in this section I often thought sounded weak live are absolutely fantastic! "Sick Again" totally rocks, "In The Evening" no longer has such a dominant cheesy 80's keyboard sound like on audio bootlegs, & "Achilles..." is frickin' AWESOME!!! Page is sloppy as all hell but he pours everything he has into it. Remember this is rock music metalhead guitar freaks, if you want exact precision listen to Segovia or Malmsteen. Even my older punk rock friends from the 70's now even admit how great they were after watching "Achilles..." in all it's sweaty glory. If it can change a few Sex Pistols & Iggy Pop fans minds then it truly does go across all boards. The true treat though is the revamped "Whole Lotta Love". There are 3 different riffs in this version on the same theme. The last one sounds like Black Sabbath's Toni Iommi meets The Sex Pistols Steve Jones, truly heavy,dirty, & slinky. I prefer it even to the RAH version. And they were considered "irrelevant" at this point? Plllleeeeeaaaaaasssssseeeeee..... The extras are great too, particularly the Page & Plant press conference & the brief Bonham interview in Australia.
All in all it was truly worth the wait & I have nothing but praise.... but I'm still hungry for more, & after viewing it you will be too... in a good way. Enjoy!

Summary: Just plain awesome.
Review: This is it folks, this is what every Zeppelin fan has been waiting for. This 2-DVD set is just too darn good. It's amazing to see so many different performances after being stuck with one performance (The Song Remains The Same) for a while. I really can't play favorites among the two discs because they're both just plain awesome. The first disc is comprised entirely of one concert from The Royal Albert Hall in 1970. This is raw Zeppelin, no colored lights, no fancy costumes, no video screens, no flaming gongs (I don't have anything against those things though). It's just four guys rocking out. From the frantic opening drums of "We're Gonna Groove" to the closing blues lines of "Bring It On Home", this concert displays Led Zeppelin at full force (and they were only together for less than two years at the time of this concert). My only complaint is that "How Many More Times" runs a little too long, but I'll watch it anyway. Now, I've heard complaints about the picture quality and the sound quality and how they both are not very good at times, but you have to remember, those reels were 33 years old when Page decided to create this DVD set, of course they're gonna have quality problems, but I really don't mind. The bonus features are also interesting. There are 3 TV appearances and one promo film for "Communication Breakdown." The best TV appearance footage has got to be the French TV video just for its humor value. Humor value? Yes, seeing Led Zeppelin rock out in front of an audience of stowic middle-aged people drove me to laughing. The others are pretty good too, I especially like the Danish TV one. Alright, so the Led Zeppelin of the first disc was raw and fresh, but the LZ on disc two is polished and refined, but that's a good thing. The disc starts out with "Immigrant Song" which is okay, not a great track, but serves as a bridge between disc 1 and 2. Then, the real magic starts to happen. First up is footage from the 1973 Madison Sqaure Garden Concert that was not inlcuded in "The Song Remains The Same". "Black Dog" is pretty good, but not as good as the next three songs. "Misty Mountain Hop" is amazing and full of energy, but then comes the excellent blues song "Since I've Been Loving You" which features Jimmy Page playing incredible guitar. To close out is "The Ocean" which features John Bonham and his opening count in, which the crowd obviously loves. The film quality is also better than the one from Royal Albert Hall. Then, we transition to video for the Earl's Court footage. It starts with usual three songs from the acoustic sets that LZ did after the release of III. But, the real gems are the three electric songs, "In My Time Of Dying", "Trampled Underfoot" (my personal favorite), and a version of "Stairway To Heaven" that beats out the one from TSRTS. From there we go to Knebworth in 1979 and back to film. The Led Zeppelin here stands in stark contrast to the raw LZ that graced disc 1. LZ performs most of the hits from their later two albums along with "Rock and Roll" and "Sick Again", but the real treat is the rendition of "Whole Lotta Love" which forgoes the middle section for an funky extended solo by Jimmy Page, a much different version from that at Royal Albert Hall. Overall, this is a must have for any Zeppelin fan, along with How The West Was Won.

Summary: The best collection from one of the world's best bands
Review: This DVD is amazing! I bought this last year about a month after it came out, and after just seeing how many songs were here, I knew I was gonna love it. There are concerts from various locations and the music is great. Led Zep are one of my favorite bands and I just loved this collection, Its the best collection of a bands greatest songs at their concerts that I've ever seen. Not too much to say, you can see how many other reviews there are that praise this DVD. So if you havent bought it yet, where have you been? Keep your eye out for the person holding the banner that spells the band name "Led Zepplin", dont worry, you cant miss it, i forgot which song it is. Great DVD from a great band. Keep on rockin.

Summary: In Page We Trust...
Review: This is Rock history, and it just doesn't get any better. As somebody said, there are no highlights in this stunning set. Led Zeppelin was a continuum. It was a total experience and it is senseless to try and break it down. The release of this flawless DVD set around the same time as the equally flawless triple 'live' CD How The West Was Won was almost disorientating to the die-hard Zep fan. Having eventually stopped pinching myself, I play them both as often as I can, and thank Page that we have been blessed with these releases. A few years ago there was a substantial poll in which Led Zeppelin were voted The Greatest Band Of All Time - ahead of even The Beatles. No argument here. If you happen to know any non-believers, just strap 'em into a chair and make them watch this set. Robert's lyrics actually got me into Tolkien and Spenser (The Faerie Queen, above all), and to have this whole lotta Zep at the same time as the conclusion to the absolutely breathtaking Lord Of The Rings trilogy is almost a mystical experience in itself. No, there was never anybody to touch them. Not even close. In my 'humble' opinion, there was nobody worthy of cleaning their shoes. In Tina's words, they were simply the best. I can only hope that the boys will round off this wave of LZ releases by getting together with Jason (the only exceptional drummer with a moral right to sit in his dad's seat) and do a serious tour and album. Sorry folks, I do tend to ramble on...
