gibsonfan159 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 If the recording is from the live video feed from a screen behind the band, why can't you see the screen on the video footage? The screen is very clear in photographs of the stage, but not seen in the videos. Maybe it was above the camera angles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could even people in the front-row seats see the band? They look to be very far from the actual stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about halfway down the side, and although I would have preferred to be closer it was still a good view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I had seen pics of the screen before, but didn't realize it was up that high. Too bad they didn't go with a wider, theatrical screen.

Too bad they didn't go with a wider, theatrical screen. We have to cut them some slack, it was 75' and most, if not all of these effects were brand new. Zeppelin was one of, if not the first band to utilize effects such as lasers and video screens in a live show. The punters were lucky they did not get a 20" TV mounted on a stand above the stage or a collage of 20" TV's like Warhol used to do at the time. I agree though, a nice wide screen would have been amazing but that screen was amazingly massive for it's time...it's even pretty big by today's standards.

I especially remember Jimmy Pages violin bow solo in Dazed & Confused, the high notes were painful! John Bonhams drums sounded unbelievable, it was as if he was trying to hammer them through the stage, you seemed to feel the reverberation under the stage, have never felt that anywhere since.

Unbelievable What was JPJ's bass like? It's so poorly documented on bootlegs (and officials for that case). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I can't really remember, he was always a bassist that fit in so well with the band and the music that you didnt really notice unless it was the opening to Dazed & Confused.

gibsonfan159 Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Watching Queen at EC in 1977 and can't help but notice the video quality is exactly the same. I imagine it's also a direct feed from an overhead screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
