  1. Harper wasn't terrible, but it's not a great song compared to the other actually amazing songs Led Zeppelin did.

    I personally don't get the hate for Hots on for Nowhere; that's a great song.

  2. 1) Yes, it is. No bullshit; just pure concert.

    2) We're doing the "Immigrant Song" thing, but more accurately. Trust me, there are no split second jump cuts! ;) We're only going to use material that looks like it fits the song (we're not going to add a shot into No Quarter with John Paul on bass, or something into TSRTS with Page playing his Les Paul, etc.) plus using footage from "The First Cuts," 8mm films, etc. We're not passing this as 100% genuine, but it'll be much better than a concert with mock up footage/footage that doesn't match the song.

    3) Btw, Dick Carruthers used stills from the film to cover footage with no gaps, not photos. There are some interesting ones that pop up.

  3. I still disagree with the fact that the fantasy sequences were used exclusively to fill footage gaps. They obviously had more footage of Whole Lotta Love, The Rain Song, The Song Remains the Same, Dazed and Confused, and Moby Dick in The First Cuts, and judging on what I've seen/synced of the footage, there were at least 2 cameras filming at a time. A full performance of Moby Dick (using footage from all three nights) looks possible.

    I wouldn't doubt that there were gaps in which no cameras were filming, but they obviously had more than enough film to capture a whole concert. Shepperton, in my opinion, was done for movie factor. They didn't have much freedom to film from cool angles like they did at Shepperton.

    Basically, the answer to all of this is MOVIE MAGIC.

  4. UPDATE!

    This project has turned into "The Song Remains Unchanged," a fan edition like no other, brought to you by ledzepfilm and anodizingstatic.

    The main goal is to get rid of ALL of the Shepperton and non-concert bullshit and present the concert with only 100% real MSG footage. Using 8mm, the outtakes, and the various official releases involving this footage, we believe that this will be the best way to enjoy the concert.

    Hopefully there's some interest for something like this!

  5. That was enjoyable! Highlights included "Something" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." And while the Paul-Ringo reunion was cool, you couldn't hear Ringo's drums AT ALL. Whenever he plays, he has another drummer playing over him. I love Abe Laboriel Jr., Paul's drummer, but I would love to hear Ringo. Did anyone notice how much Yoko danced during "Boys?"

  6. Damn, has time flied? 50 years ago The Beatles rocked the Ed Sullivan show... twice. The first one was prerecorded to air on the third consecutive Sunday of Beatle appearences on the show. The second was the more famous 250 million viewer one. Anyone watching the Grammys special tonight?
