[Is Burn like a candle better than HTWWW?]

Well, I don't mind Jimmy's editing on the official releases but what I miss the most are the Plantations.

I personally don't mind the editing either. But if I could change anything about the official releases, I'd also add in a lot more of Plant's jabbering between songs.

[How The West Was Won Vs The Song Remains The Same OST]

How the West Was Won is about a hundred times better. The Song Remains the Same is pretty lame for a Zeppelin show. I've been a huge Zeppelin fan for decades, and I've never liked that movie. I think it did more to lump the group, for people who aren't into it like we are, into that whole pompous Spinal Tap view of '70s bands than anything else. It's the closest they ever came to being boring. There are exceptions, such as the oldies medley during "Whole Lotta Love"; but for the most part, HtWWW kicks its ass on every level.

"Heartbreaker" on the BBC Sessions is from the Paris Theater in London, 1971. On HtWWW, it's from Long Beach, California, 1972. Both versions rock.

I'm not going to choose which one was "better", as I enjoy both, but I think its worth noting how much the band changed in just a year's time. And I don't mean that in a "Plant's voice changed" kind of way. Listen to Over The Hills from each release. Both are amazing versions, each a highlight of its own respective album. Each very different, yet equally powerful. To listen to a 25 minute Dazed from HTWWW (compared to the 6 min studio version), one might think they stretched that song out as far as it will go. Yet a year later, the song once again has a different and unique feel. It's nice to listen to bands that constantly push themselves with their live shows, always looking for their boundries.
