reids Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 The Classic Rock DVD Series is a group of British behind the scenes going through each of their albums and includes some interviews (with very little concert footage). There's a Zeppelin one, a Beatles one, Pink Floyd, etc...) They can be found in most indy record stores and online, too. Led Zep 4 is one of them. Eagle rock Entertainment has a classic rock series too (Pink floyd --- dark side, Queen -- night at the opera, etc... most are available at Wal-Mart for around $10.
