  1. Yeah, it is a shame they cut the Honey Bee reference, but having said that, I was also completely riveted by the wonderful endings of many of the songs. They harkened back to those wonderful moments of improvisation they would often kick out at their live shows. This was another wonderful nod to the passion behind Led Zeppelin live. Lovely.
  2. I have been waiting for this release with a lot of anticipation. All I had was a crappy audience recording, and when I listened to that I felt the thrill that Zep conjures. I sat down at my brother's last Saturday and watched the entire DVD (after a 25 hour flight from Asia!) And it cured my jet lag. Well not quite, but I was stunned by how good it was. I don't agree the first two songs were flat. I found them exciting and a very sentimental statement by the band. "Here we are, back, and playing the first song from our first album, and the second song from our second album." Two songs they had not done full version live before, played with swagger, guts, and tons of heavy passion. And boy did they look happy and proud. As they should be! The rest of the show soared even higher. Yes, there are some rusty notes, and I applaud Page for restraining his wizardry inclinations to let it stand mostly as it was performed. Because it is the passion that comes through all the songs. For Your Life! WHEW! THey smoked on it! It was as if Presence was just released and they were promoting it on Top of the Pops! Amazing! The changes were on the money, complex, and full of swagger. Overall, I was very pleased by the sound quality, and especially the picture quality. Yes, they are older, playing a few in different keys, a little slower, but again with a passion and respect that carries this forward to being one of their most exciting releases. Excuse me, I need to watch it again!
