TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 For example, I'm sad that like other bands LZ didn't take pro-shot vids of many concerts and that they didn't carry on with this version of Hey Hey What Can I Do! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jahfin Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I'm not sad about it but it would be cool if they released another box set with rarities and perhaps some Dick's Picks style releases from the vault in the form of complete live shows and DVDs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeppelin Led Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I'm sad they didn't complete '77 If they did karac would have lived,We may have gotten pro-shot material and More awesome shows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sixpense Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Release more live shows on cd. (Just like the Grateful Dead did - then there would be no need for bootlegs) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveAJones Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Obviously one feels genuine sadness over the abrupt end to John Bonham's life and that it prevented a reinvigorated Led Zeppelin from taking flight in the 1980s. It also evokes sadness when I think of what could have been concerning Peter Grant's tentative plans for the band to return to Scandanavia in November 1975 and a South American tour.

aen27 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 That there isn't any real footage or very much from the mid to late 70's of any of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WTF? Please explain. Apart from the obvious, It is sad that they never got to produce that going back to rock album that Bonzo alluded to in an interview just prior to his passing. Mostly because both he and Jimmy were looking forward to recording it, as were RP and JPJ. I wonder if Jimmy and Jonesy had anything written that never saw the light of day?

Most of the stuff probably got included in solo acts e.g Outider, Zooma. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Off the top of my head the only confirmed "Led Zeppelin outtakes" recycled for solo projects are the opening riff to 'Shake My Tree' which was originally developed during sessions for 'In Through The Out Door' and 'Midnight Moonlight' which bears similarities to the instrumental 'Swan Song'.

Ah yes that's right, I should have remember as he did that with The Firm and on Outrider. Was Who's To Blame from the ITTOD rehearsals aswell (from deathwish ii) Edited October 27, 2011 by TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ledzepfilm Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 That they won't release the raw Madison Square Garden footage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
badgeholder Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 That they couldn't play the Rose Bowl show in Sept. of '75, for which I had a ticket and was very much looking forward to.I always pictured it being like Kezar, only..mightier! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ZoSo1960 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Oh to have not lost John. A friend & I had qued for tickets for the Chicago show in 1980; we had secured them when we found out John had passed. I'm also sad theres not better footage of Chicago Stadium 1977 Jimmy in his stromtropper atire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Rover Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Zep had to cancel parts of their 1975 and 1977 tours. Perhaps there were tentative plans to pro-shoot some of these cancelled shows ? ? ? I am sad that I never got to see Zeppelin perform in an outdoor setting, either at a festival, or at a stadium. I believe I had tickets for a cancelled JKF stadium show in Philadelphia in 1975. While many of the biggest bands on the planet managed to release footage of themselves in the studio, we never got to see that from Led Zeppelin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackDog71 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I'm sad that there isn't more video footage of them out for sale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dazedcat Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 The lack of any studio film footage. It would be pretty neat to see that today if it existed, watching how they recorded classic tunes or doing overdubs etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sixpense Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Good point that reminds me: WOODSTOCK. The Band played in Wallingford, Ct that weekend @ the Oakdale theater. (In the round on a revolving stage) Met someone who was at the show and said they gave a fantastic performance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That said, I've read that Garcia and Page helped one another out with the pedal steel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
