Yeah, I grabbed a low quality boot the day after the show and replaced it a few weeks later with a great sounding version, all the while thinking it wouldn't be long before there would be an official release anyway. Hell, I figured Page would do it just for the challenge of finding a way of fixing the spectacular botch in Dazed And Confused.  :lol

I listened to almost nothing but Zeppelin in high school. Interestingly enough, the album I find myself returning to the most is In Through The Out Door + the B-sides Ozone Baby, Darlene, and Wearing & Tearing. Who else loves In Through The Out Door? It's such an interesting departure from everything else they did, what with JPJ taking over and everything.

In Through The Out Door is awesome! In The Evening, South Bound Saurez, Carouselambra, Fool In The Rain, and All My Love are top tier songs.

My personal favorite album would be Houses of the Holy though. Every single song is something different, it's fantastic.

Ozone Baby should have been an official release from the band; such a cool song!

Carouselambra is easily a top 10 Zep song for me.  Wearing and Tearing was good too.

Yes, Carouselambra is amazing. I like it more than Stairway (though that statement might be regarded as blasphemous in some circles).

Because it's not "WHOAAAAHHH WOMAN, GET DOWN ON MY COCK" + E minor pentatonic scale like all the other Led Zeppelin albums.

Amen, brother. It's one of my top three songs from them, and it really feels wasted being stuck with the rest of Presence.

Definitely agree. I also enjoy Nobody's Fault But Mine, but the rest of the album is very weak for me.

I don't know, these one off reunion shows never really appeal to me. I'd much rather see a band reunite and do a tour or two and maybe an album.

That announcement was today.  Looks like they'll be releasing the one-off show but as a film that will be in theaters.

Not really too excited, to be honest.  The clips I heard in the trailer left me awfully flaccid.

It took me about 20yrs to really get into Presence.  Now it's the only Zep album i want to listen to.  Achilles Last Stand is top 3 all-time Zep songs.

Well that's just silly. People want that show on DVD/CD, not to sit in a movie theater. This ain't the 70s anymore.  :lol

Well it will be released on DVD/CD, of course.  Just after the theatrical release.

Yeah, but WHEN? If it's the normal DVD release schedule a few months down the line, fine. But I just have this image of the band milking it for all its worth and doing it a couple of years from now  :lol

Not everyone has huge TVs and surround sound at home.  Watching a concert video on the big screen in 7.1 surround is much more satisfying, and much closer to an actual concert experience, than playing the DVD and listening to it through the crappy TV speakers.

I might pick this up.   

But I'd much prefer they release more live material from their glory days, a la How The West Was Won and BBC Sessions.   Those CDs are outstanding.
