Features: DVD, Live
Atlantic Records and Warner Strategic Marketing are proud to announce a landmark event in music history the release of the mother lode of Led Zeppelin live recordings: LED ZEPPELIN DVD, a two-disc set, and HOW THE WEST WAS WON, a three-CD set. This marks the first official release of these legendary performances. The DVD and CD sets each contain entirely different material, so there is no overlap between the two releases. As a gesture to the band'smillions of fans, both sets are specially priced (2-DVD set at 29.99 list, 3-CD set at 26.98 list).Clocking in at nearly five and a half hours, LED ZEPPELIN DVD has been culled from the few performances which were ever filmed during the band's lifetime: London's Royal Albert Hall in January 1970, just one year after the release of their debut album; their triumphant five-nightrun at London's Earl's Court in May 1975; and their record-breaking shows at England's Knebworth Festival in August 1979, just one year before the death of drummer John Bonham.Also included are songs from New York's Madison Square Garden in July 1973.DVD TRACKLISTINGDVD ONE:1.

Editor's Note
Very few Led Zeppelin performances were caught on camera during the band's life-span, but the footage that has been preserved for posterity is collected on this release. With a running time of over five-and-a-half hours, this is the definitive word on Zep's global stage-straddling performances. The footage is taken from London's Royal Albert Hall in January 1970, London's Earls Court in May 1975, Knebworth in August 1979, and Madison Square Garden in July 1973. Guitarist Jimmy Page has taken great care to restore, remix, and remaster the sound from these shows, providing a visual and sonic assault that offers indisputable proof of Led Zeppelin's reputation as a rock & roll behemoth. Additional footage comes in the shape of several television interviews, a bootleg shot of the band performing "Heartbreaker," behind the scenes footage from Knebworth, and a whole lot more.

5 of 5 A Must for Led Zeppelin Fans Tuesday, July 29, 2003
bfmrazjr from Seaside, CA
If you have a choice between this DVD and "Song Remains the Same", choose this one. It's a slam dunk no-contest. This is Led Zeppelin at their musical and performance pinnacle of their career. 5 hours is not enough! This is better because the action is not rehearsed from the backstage and seeing them when they started out is by far better than "Special Effects" of "TSRTS". Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Are Zeppelin as good as we all remember? I'm too y Friday, May 30, 2003
zoso827 from Conestoga PA
All I have to say is that this DVD is nothing short of orgasmic. Led Zeppelin is a live, dynamic animal when performing, a living, breathing creative force, able to change the direction of composition, on a dime, whether it be to end it briefly, or paint a whole new unknown direction. Few bands can command their live show with such ruthless authority and swagger. Every frame is a revelation; Page playing with such burning passion, Robert Plant with a charismatic grip over the crowd, and of course the rock solid rhythm section of John Paul Jones and the late John Bonham. It is a wonder to see Jones playing a different instrument in what seems like every song (damn, is their anything he can't play), whether it be his Fender bass, a mandolin, or keyboards, and Bonham tearing up his kit with such a cannon like drum tone and endless barrage of syncopated fills. Even at the end of the second disc, during the 1979 set, with Page looking dangerously frail, a bloated Bonham, along with Plant (whose weathered face tells of the wear and tear of the decade), and a typically static John Paul Jones (who basically looks the same as the 1970 Royal Albert Hall set), it is wonderfully evident that they are at the top of their live peforming capacity. It is almost a crime that Page didn't release this material earlier; or maybe not. The praises of DVD media should ensure that this monument to the greatest live band of all time will stick around for a very, very long time; the necessity for future generations to experience this will come shortly after you pop it into your DVD player. Now go buy it already! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 The Zeppelin flies again! Thursday, May 29, 2003
mbrown118 from Cleveland, Ohio
Aahh, Finally...The live DVD set that us true Zeppelin fans have been waiting for!
...It's apparent that a lot of thought & tedious work went into choosing the performances, and making it all sound great!
...
A collection of career-spanning live footage, plus bonus features which include interviews & promo music videos... it CAN'T get much better than this! ...
We can only pray that they'll release another similar set in time. ..
Meanwhile, I'll be wearing these DVDs out! ...
Buy your copy today!!
...Peace from Cleveland,

5 of 5 Better than Expected - This DVD Rocks Wednesday, May 28, 2003
Paul Molinario from New Orleans, Louisiana
If you are a Led Zeppelin fan you have to check out this DVD! The quality of the video is better than I thought it would be and the sound is great. This DVD is in 5.1 (unlike the current DVD version of "The Song Remains the Same") and you can tell Jimmy Page did his magic with the re-mastering and production. The concert footage from Royal Albert Hall is worth the price alone. The main concert footage is great, however, some of the extra clips are lacking in quality but are still interesting to watch. 5+ hours of video and audio for around $20 is a deal I couldn't pass up.

5 of 5 My Love Has Returned Wednesday, May 28, 2003
Jon from Plymouth Meeting
For the majority of my life (I'm 30 now) I have listened and loved Led Zeppelin. I've always been taken back by the sheer power of John Bonham, the elegance and control of Jimmy Page, the thunderous vocals of Robert Plant, and the strong bass line of John Paul Jones. With the exception of "The Song Remains The Same", I've never had the opportunity to see them perform live, UNTIL NOW. Yesterday, on my way home from work, I picked up the Led Zeppelin DVD, and the new 3 disc compilation "How The West Was Won". I got home, sat on my couch, and turned on the DVD. From the minute it began I was absolutely speechless. All of the reasons I originally fell in love with Led Zeppelin were multiplied by their performance, and I can honestly say it was as if I was falling in love with them all over again. If you are going to buy a DVD, this is definitely a must have. Thank you Jimmy, John, Robert, and JPJ for all of the memories. Was this review helpful?
