This footage was filmed by me and my friend Steve Krause. It's unreal to think that one day it would end up on You Tube!

Thanks for that footage! What's the story behind it? Was it really recorded in those fragments or is that the best of what survived? How did you get the video equipment in? Thanks again for sharing!

:peace:

No video equipment...most likely they snuck 8mm film cameras in to film. The drawbacks with 8mm cameras were that you could only film in short bursts as the film reels were short and sucked the power like crazy. Also, it was difficult gauging the focus and exposure in concert lighting situations.

Or even focusing on getting the musicians themselves in the picture apparently. Thank you for that information, Strider. I don't have any experience with 8 mm cameras.

The sequence of events was that I secured the tickets for the Sunday show. My friend and I had raised box seats equivalent to the 18th row main floor. A perfect angle, sonically and visually. Another friend offered up a 8mm film camera to shoot what we could. It was his film and camera and we snuck it in. Strider is correct in that you could only film with short bursts.There was only one short reel as you couldn't fumble about. In the late 80's a fellow Zeppelin fan and friend urged me to find the film again insisting it could be converted into something tangible and profitable. I made that happen on my end .
