Bozoso73 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 In Dave Lewis' Book on page 19 there is mention of a film crew following the band for a forthcoming Zeppelin TV doc. .Since G was keen on not ever putting the band on TV my question is did this ever get done? If so is there any video of this? Thanks in advance. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Perhaps Dave can explain it. The tour was virtually ignored by the press and nothing comes to mind as far as any pro-shot footage existing. Grant preferred not to showcase the band on television, but was not adamantly opposed to it as the early Scandinavian/German telecasts attest.

I just became friends with Dave Lewis and seems gracious with the answers to a couple questions so Ill have to ask. . 11 hours ago, SteveAJones said: The Final Acclaim focuses exclusively on the 1980 Tour of Europe. Are you thinking Feather In The Wind because this book is kind of a breakdown of the bands career and some afterwards?. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithril46 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Yeah, think I heard that too. Arguably even the very early film/video on the official HTWWW does not really fully capture the full impact of the band. Frustrating for fans who want all, but full passes of Knebworth and even the main circulating EC video, show Grant was ultimately right, let the fans imagine the band live.
