ledzepfilm Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I found out this info on page 2 of this thread. I think it might be true, he said it was 8 minutes long and a VHS tape he found at a convention in the 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZep342 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Do you feel this guy is yanking you on this and taking you for a ride or do you feel in your heart that there is at least some truth to its' possible existence? And if so, why do you think so? Just wondering. I feel there is some truth in this, it's definitely the best way for one to think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 And it's another piece to the puzzle! I think this one clip will be a great follow up to the new Bath clip that surfaced a month ago. I still love watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) I found out this info on page 2 of this thread. I think it might be true, he said it was 8 minutes long and a VHS tape he found at a convention in the 80s. Just checked back there as it's been a few weeks since that page. Getting a response from Sam and that it may exist is a positive thing, so hopefully we'll see it one day. It may not be much as it's only 8 minutes long, on VHS tape, silent and is more than likely just filmed by a fan. It will probably be jumpy with just bits and pieces from songs as we've seen from many of these films. But we shall see.

ledzepfilm Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 What do you mean by it's been a few weeks ever since that page? If he responds saying he'll share it is a much awesomer thing to hear! It's worth having, It's nice to have more 8mm of Zep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZep342 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Superdave has a point, It would obviously be a better experience to see the full 16mm pro film of Pontiac, but this 8mm film will definitely be a nice piece to the puzzle!

ledzepfilm Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 It's not 16mm film, it's video tape. They had that starting in 1974-1975, maybe a bit earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 This 8mm clip is supposed to be filmed from various points from the floor of the stage, very shakey. But it's worth to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tell me there's two films in existence! One pro and other fan shot? Then we'd have to begin another search as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzepfilm Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) Nope, there is the 8mm and the proshot. From the LZ Database about the Pontiac 8mm: Recording Includes: Unknown song listing. Source: Incomplete 8mm silent color amateur footage. 24 minutes. Details: It was shot from the right side of the stage and the camera is never quite in clear focus. I don't think it's 24 minutes, that same website saying that the 6/23/1977 footage is 11 minutes when it's actually 9 minutes Edited August 22, 2011 by ledzepfilm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3hrsoflunacy Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I don't think it's 24 minutes, that same website saying that the 6/23/1977 footage is 11 minutes when it's actually 9 minutes It was confirmed to me by someone who has a copy that it is 24 minutes, however, that may not equal the time of the source you are trying to get elsewhere.

ledzepfilm Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 We'll just look and see if kdh gets me and 342 a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZep342 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 kdh wrote a comment on my profile stating "I need to know how to get it online. And to make a copy", so this means he has it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
