There are a few subtle differences in editing between the two but they're ultimately the same thing.

Why download the one from DVD when there's a much more complete and hi-res version on How The West Was Won?

Today, we are proud to unveil two new 8mm films from Led Zeppelin’s legendary run at Madison Square Garden in 1977. This reel was found last month for a hefty price and thanks to a few kind folks, we were able to get it into our hands. It has two dates on it – 6/10/1977 and 6/14/1977, plus some offstage footage (i.e. aerial shots around New York). Here I present to you synced versions of the concert footage for both dates. Unfortunately, since 6/14/1977’s audio cuts off during Over the Top, audio from 6/13/1977 was used for that sync (hence why Bonzo doesn’t match most of the time). A big special thanks to the original filmer (whoever you are), Charley C. for sourcing and purchasing this reel, all who have contributed to its fund, and to Adam from GenesisMuseum for the excellent digital scan and mold reduction.

John Bonham is on record saying the first performance from Carnegie Hall was one of his finest drum solos. One of the truly rare occasions where I'm happy the full solo was taped IMO...

Attention @drowan… In February 2021, we released a tape of the band's appearance at the Atlanta Pop festival in 1969. It was with this significant discovery that we decided to start numbering our releases as a series. 21 installments and nearly one year later, I don't think any of us could have predicted our productivity in finding new Zeppelin material. Here's hopefully to many more years of liberations ahead of us! With that out of the way, here is our official celebration of the upcoming anniversary. Thanks to June72 for making this release possible, to Glyn for the tape transfer, to Led Zeppelin Rarities for the artwork, and most of all, to the original taper!

I think more people here would be very interested in seeing your collection if you’d be able to share pics.

In my opinion, 5/24's NQ is sorely overrated and Page really gets nowhere with the solo, not to help that it's dragged to hell by a lackluster Bonham. As said above, the 17th and 18th are far superior options. Landover is an interesting version, as in some places it sounds like its much bigger brother in Philadelphia and others like its drunker little brother in St. Louis. 2/28 and 3/5 are good versions, can't argue there; not too familiar with 3/11's and 3/19's could be one of the GOATs. The LA ones... yikes. 3/24 is great from Bonham and Jonesy, but Page's drunken rambling kills it (as with most of this show). The 25th is a pretty underrated version, with Jones moving back to the electric piano part-way through. The 27th is a huge missed opportunity, similar to 3/24 but Page clearly has ideas this time that he can't execute. If you haven't, I'd recommend checking out Bloomington 1/18, Detroit 1/31, NYC 2/7, Philadelphia 2/8, Long Beach 3/12, Vancouver 3/20, and Seattle 3/21. Those, in my opinion, along with 3/19, 5/17, and 5/18, are the serious standout versions from 1975.

Not all that much of an upgrade but the end of No Quarter and Tangerine sound a bit better.

The Dogs of Doom is proud to bring you the second source of 8mm footage from the last show of the band’s 1973 North American tour. This reel was bought with Zeppelin and a myriad of other bands (including Todd Rundgren, Mott the Hoople, Lou Reed, ELO, and more) on it so it’s truly a goldmine find. By complete coincidence, it turns out this was shot by the same person that took the slides we released over the summer. Special thanks to Notelu for buying the original reel, touching it up, and sharing, Quazza for the transfer, and to the original filmer.

We would be more than happy to help with the original photos and/or negatives and give them similar treatment to these b&w shots if you're able to find them!

That audio comes from the third source that we released earlier this year.

The 18th (and 17th) was not multitracked.

Special thanks to Michael Pandelis for filming and transferring this wonderful footage!

Unfortunately, we don’t know! We got possession of the negatives. There are 219 pictures in the set (posted at a local Hotel).

Correct. He didn’t have the triple neck for the first leg of the tour.

We were mainly waiting for proper scans to share these, that is why they haven’t been released publicly.

Being that I know the person who was in contact with Herb, I can confirm that photo of the screen (and the other photos he took) is 100% genuine. The overhead angle and fuzzy nature of the slide would explain Jonesy’s hair looking different.

It should be of note that Jones was using a standard 12 string acoustic guitar for Ten Years Gone/The Battle of Evermore and a mandolin for Going to California for all of the first leg of the 1977 tour. I suppose it's possible Manson started building the guitar leading up to 1977, but wasn't actually finished until by the time Zeppelin had to fly out to Birmingham from London?

The Dogs of Doom found, transferred, and freely liberated the third source for Sydney for the 49th anniversary of the show, and it was inevitably picked up by the bootleg labels as it typically goes. The third source includes the four missing songs from the other two sources (Immigrant Song, Heartbreaker, Since I've Been Loving You, and Celebration Day) as well as filling in some other minor gaps. There is no known soundboard from this show.

Thanks for the info here, Sam! Would you be able to clarify the length of the two sources and perhaps how much of each song he actually captured?

You can see the edge of the sprocket hole in the longer video he posted last year, which leads me to believe this is a film scan.

Would love to see the other prints from this show if you’d be able to share!

These look like the July 6 show - maybe the ending of Moby Dick (Page loosely forming a D chord, with both him and Plant to the side of the stage perhaps watching Bonham)?

See my analysis above - and as Sam said, they've gone back and forth on the exact date of that photo. The backstage pics are certainly from October but I'm inclined to say the blurry and clear color shots are both from December.

Led Zeppelin played in Seattle on July 17, 1973, not in August (the tour had concluded in New York on July 29).
