Good stuff Steve.

A question: Apart from the video and audio not quite lining up in TSRTS, I can't tell the difference between the MSG and the Shepperton footage. Loads of people say they can though - what are the differences?

Robert looks quite stoned in the Shepperton footage. That's what I always noticed.

Him and Jimmy.

Hair.

Jonesy's godawful wig and Jimmy's haircut.

I'm sure there are much more obvious and important differences, but those are the ones I notice!

Well apart from the obvious one of JPJ's wig, another difference I see is Bonzo's weight. He looks fatter at the Shepperton sessions, and much leaner and fitter it the actual MSG shots

Oh, you're right! I've always wondered about that.

I'm not the only one! David Zoso has an extensive photo collection he shares with the forum from time to time. Swandown is very knowledgeable about Jimmy's session work.

I'm glad you enjoyed the assortment of vintage lithographs of Peter Grant's Horselunges Manor dispatched to you privately. It's a magnificent property with a rich history.

Him and Jimmy.

According to the biography of Peter Grant, "the Man Who Led Zeppelin", by Chris Welch, on page 128, there is a quote from Peter Clifton (the film's second director), that says, "In 1975 you were in awe of Led Zeppelin. I got them all on the stage together in their outfits and they suddenly realized they were back on stage together for the first time since Madison Square Garden. They started playing 'Black Dog' just for me and we all got such a shock. They were so hot and tight and fuelled up with you know what. There had been an argument just minutes beforehand and then suddenly they began playing and it was an extraordinary electric moment between them. I knew then that I had them in the palms of my hands".

I have read somewhere that Bonzo used to call Cocaine, "Rocket Fuel".

Just an observation on my part.

The lighting was also a giveaway -much softer and more even in the studio.

Also there was much less looking out (as there was no audience).

TSRTS is on VH1Classic right now, and I cannot tell the MSG footage from the Shepperton studio footage.

They did a great job.

Was Dazed and Confused from MSG or from the studio? Looks like it may be from the studio. Does anyone know for sure?

[ledzepfilm]

Most of the video is from the 27th, the 29th has the second most and the 28th has the least. The Shepperton footage was used to fill the gaps in the MSG film and closeups. Look for very cheesy shots, or shots that couldn't be shot with a crazy audience. There was not alot of Shepperton footage in Dazed.

[LedZep342]

Wow, dude you really know a lot about the MSG footage!

[ledzepfilm]

ikr

[LedZep342]

Yea, i'm really glad, cause I learned a lot from you, I may have not ever known!

[ledzepfilm]

Indeed!

[LedZep342]

Hey dude, instead of going back and forth to each thread why don't we just message each other?

[ledzepfilm]

Yeah.

[LedZep342]

Ok.

Question for Steve if he sees this; do you know if they had a small audience for this to recreate some of the scenes shot in the film?
