Today was payday and I thought I would treat myself to something I thought would be extra special....the new 2 disc set of "never-before-seen" classic LIVE performances of Led Zeppelin!

I have always thought that "The Song Remains the Same" was a classic so I can't wait to get home and watch this DVD set. I will let you all know how much I enjoyed it tomorrow

This is for the grrls: we all know that Jimmy Page fuckin' rocks on guitar, but wasn't he damn fine back in the day???

Hey Hypergrrl. That Zeppelin DVD rocks. You made a fine choice there! I decline to comment on how fine mr page is/was though, as one of my mates is the spitting image of him! And besides, I like birds, me!

If you don't absolutley love the dvd and aren't totally blown away by the quality and performance and sound...go check yourself into an insane asylum!!! If you have surround sound hooked up, make sure you crank that up!!!

AMAZING

By all accounts, i'm not a Zep fan. But i rented the dvd a couple of weeks back, and i enjoyed it a lot simply because it's PACKED with pretty much everything they ever filmed.

The way music dvd's should be done, i think.

Of course he fuckin' does! I was just trying to get everyone's attention. Besides, it doesn't hurt to have an awesome guitarist who is also sexy as hell - damn, the way he swings his hips! Ha ha...

If this didn't make you a fan, I think you'd better take schroeder's advice But your are right that this is the way music should be made! Imagine Piggy sitting down and playing a 20 minute 'solo'!

The highlights of the first disc were "White Summer" (I think that was it) with Mr. Page sitting down and jamming for 20 minutes - I could watch this guy 24/7. The other was "Moby Dick". I recently saw an interview with the surviving members of LZ on the Today show and Matt Lauer asked the guys why they didn't continue making music after John Bonham died and the answer was pretty much that the four of them had such an amazing chemistry that it was "all or nothing" to them and that there could never be a replacement for him. If you are a drummer and don't have even just a tad of respect and admiration for this guy, you had better check yourself into the looney bin!!!

Three or four or umm, uhh, years ago or so I picked up that Led Zepplin BBC Sessions two C.D. combo and I love it! One morning while I was driving to work, I happened to be listening to a Seattle rock station called KISW and they played that song "The girl I love she got long black wavy hair". Believe it or not but until then I never heard that song before! Then again I don't think that it was officially released on any record. Man, right from the beginning when I first heard that opening riff played by Jimmy Page, I said to myself, "Indio, you just gotta get that song!" And I did and it was a good call! Another song which I really like is "Traveling Riverside Blues". Oh heck, I love all the songs! If any of you Led Zep fans do not have the BBC Sessions, I recommend that you go out and get it - AT ONCE!!!

I do, and he looks even more like Mr Page. It's so close it isn't even funny.

But you'll have to claw your way through Jimm's ever-growing throng of Japanese girlie-fans. And they come armed!

Well, it seems you live "over the hills and far away" from me, but I have a friend (yes, people like me!) that would love to claw his way through the thongs...err, I mean throngs of the Japanese girlie-fans!

Highlight for me on the second disc was "That's The Way". It brought tears to my eye

If he doesn't have a butt then he must be Native. What tribe is he?

So I guess I better go out and buy this dvd as soon as my foodstamps get here. I almost bought it on saturday but opted for the Cure-Trilogy dvd instead. (splaaat! mmmmmm rancid tomatoes) I have to learn how to duck around here!

Indeed this DVD rocks! Page was and still is inspiring to some. He did have an impact on my lead playing as I play just as sloppy & I'm always bending strings looking for the correct pitch, & like Page, I always manage to find the 'one'! "Achilles Last Stand" and "That's the Way" are my two fave Zep tunes and sound great. Even my least fave tune, "Kashmir" rocks! Damn good for a drunken 3 piece! Bonzo rocks!
