Tom Carroll Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Hey fellow Led Zeppelin fans, I've been listening to the album How the west won for about 3 years now (still doesnt bore me). For me this is their best performance ever (thats why they probebly remasterd this perticular concert tour). But im wandering if there is any video footage of it. ive searched everywhere and cant find it. even on the official website Supposebly the concert you hear on the album is the 1972 North American Tour with performances commencing on May 27 and concluding on June 28 at the L.A. forum and the Long Beach Arena. If anyone could help me out with this it would be much appreciated. Tnx Quote

Just possibly some brief ones. Try YT or check the video section on this site. Quote
ledzepfilm Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 It's hilarious how the dates before and after were filmed. (June 22 and June 28) Quote
DavidZoso Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 It's hilarious how the dates before and after were filmed. (June 22 and June 28) I just wonder how much footage hasn't surfaced from greedy hoarders or canisters of film left in a attic or drawer and forgotten about. I would think someone filmed some of the 6-25-72 out of all those people that went. Quote
ledzepfilm Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Unless something is rumored, I think no footage was shot. Quote
BlackDog71 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Unless something is rumored, I think no footage was shot. That's a cryin' shame. That is one DVD I would love to own. Quote
sixpense Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 (IMHO) Their best performance ever was in March 1973 in Germany. Quote
SuperDave Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 (IMHO) Their best performance ever was in March 1973 in Germany. Are you talking particular songs or overall performance? I think the band itself was in a groove on this part of the tour. Really great stuff, but Robert wasn't singing at his best as his voice was starting to go. But he was better than he was back in January, during the UK dates. Musically, they may have been at their best. Hamburg and Offenburg were exceptional in March 1973. Any other dates you'd like to add? Quote
Phil Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 The two French dates in St Ouen were also exceptional. Quote
