So, you're the one that bought that. I was going to bid on it but lost track of it. I had never heard of it before, the vinyl editions appear to go for around $70-100. I'd say you got a decent price for a sealed cd box set. I know pretty much noting about it. Let us (me) know what it's like once you receive it! Edit: A bit more info

Last I heard (read in a news article), it costs around 7 figures to use a Led Zeppelin song.

Ditto. I have two different pressings of II. One is just a late pressing that is not even worth putting on. The other is the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab pressing which is the best I've ever heard, but sadly it is missing a large chunk of vinyl. I hear nothing but good things about the RL pressing.

Here's some of mine Pink Floyd - Animals Motley Crue - Theatre of Pain Iron Maiden - Powerslave Kiss - Love Gun

I completely agree with you. I think there's not many of us in the younger generation that will. I would be completely willing to spend money on these things if I had it. $10,000 for a soundboard (once the going rate), probably not. Maybe for a Los Angeles/Long Beach show because I'm from that area. The monetary value of these gems will start to (if it hasn't already) plummet as time goes on and the number of diehards starts to dwindle. Edit: That's talking about the people who buy the source tape(s). I feel the same way when it comes to bootlegs (EVSD etc.). Most of my generation do not pay for silvers, and probably will not.

Position and angle? If it was a video screen why would it be at the same level as the band and behind them? All the video screens I've seen in the pictures from Zep concerts, the screens are much larger and suspended above/in front of the band.

I assume that's what he is referring to, I could be wrong.

It's shot by a professional news cameraman

I believe this is it

Yes, you're right. With a little digging we may be able to come up with something. It's all moot, though, until there's a snippet of video or a screenshot.

Aerosmith in Houston a month after Led Zeppelin, two consecutive nights filmed. No on-stage cameras, from similar angles as above. Now, I don't know if Aerosmith had this gig filmed for themselves....that needs to be researched. If not, this might be the strongest "evidence" that it's remotely possible. Edit: the freeze frame/slow motion in between songs is reminiscent of the Seattle video that was used for the projection screens. Having said that, maybe Aerosmith did have the screens in use.

Yes, but that was probably shot for Bill Graham, if it even still exists, and would most likely be in the hands of Wolfgang's Vault. Should probably be added to the list of possible recordings, although it isn't necessarily "pro shot"

I contacted the media content manager at KHOU a few months ago and he responded with...

No, I haven't. Did it do well in sales?

Which is why it would never see the light of day (officially). Regular fans would have no desire to watch choppy incomplete footage. Perhaps in some sort of mega boxset. I remember someone saying that the CCTV monitors in the lobby/concession area may have been in use. I don't remember if it was in reference to a Zeppelin show or if it was said about another show at the Summit. I think it's in the Houston thread.

We've been listening, doesn't mean that Zeppelin was recorded though.

I wouldn't call it urban legend, it's well documented. It all depends on the kinds of tapes you have. Very specific formulations of Ampex (among other brands) go sticky. If you have a box of mid 70's Ampex 406/407 that hasn't gotten sticky/stated to shed, consider yourself lucky. Not sure if vhs tapes have the same problem, not into old video tape collecting as I am audio.

I agree, it should be more like "Screens in Use at Show." Uncirculating leads one to believe (at least in my view) that the shows are out of Page's hand's and in the hands of private collectors, but not openly.

Neither of these are it, but they are the closest I can find http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-80s-Jimmy-Page-The-Firm-Led-Zeppelin-soft-thin-50-50-T-shirt-Size-XL-/111016365642?pt=Vintage_Unisex_T_Shirts&hash=item19d9174e4a http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-1980s-JiMMY-PAGE-Led-Zeppelin-t-shirt-SOFT-THiN-concert-tour-TEE-80s-XL-/160981030238?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item257b37955e

Here's another pic of it

2012 DA14 has passed by (as of about an hour ago) and all is well. That one that hit Russia is interesting, lots of good footage since a lot of the population has dashboard cameras.

Logically thinking about it though, why would they go through the trouble and NOT record/get a copy?
