Geezer Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Mike, thanks for that photo. Unfortunately, that's not a video screen; it's just a mirror. There were two giants video screens to the left and to the right of the stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastSpartan Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Since there wont be much, if anything ever in the way new surfaced of pro-shot, why not start up a fan shot/semi-professional shot list?

Glyn Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 If it was a mirror, why is his right hand pointed upward? Wouldn't it be his left? Position and angle? If it was a video screen why would it be at the same level as the band and behind them? All the video screens I've seen in the pictures from Zep concerts, the screens are much larger and suspended above/in front of the band.

Geezer Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) I've finally concluded that the only proshot '77 dates are Seattle and Pontiac. I've thoroughly examined photos of all of the rumored dates but cameras are nowhere to be seen. No cameras = no proshot footage. Also, I have no idea about the Central Park '69 footage.

Geezer Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Those two concert were definitely not filmed. I've gone through myriads of photos and I can say this thing for sure: there were no cameras or cameramen near the stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magerogue Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Aren't those the stage lights? They look like it. Anyways just because there aren't camera's near the stage or seen by the audience doesn't mean the show wasn't filmed, we've discussed that already. No cameraman on stage or near it in Queens Earls Court Show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Graham knew Peter Grant's position on this matter and would not have risked his reputation and their business relationship by violating it. Bill did occasionally film bands but only with consent. Edited September 30, 2013 by SteveAJones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magerogue Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Is it possible that Showco taped shows without the consent of the band? How about the Atlanta show, Sam just posted a picture of a camera man and we all know that it was being projected on to giant screens. Maybe a second led zeppelin dvd is in the works along with the remasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NealR2000 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Am I right in thinking that the two Knebworth shows were not actually filmed in the traditional sense? Yes there has been bootlegged stuff, but the "official" stuff that was part of the DVD, was what the Showco video cameras captured that were used for the big screen projection at the events. I'm not sure if this really makes a difference, but I don't believe any official filming was done in the way we see it done with more up-to-date concert filming. I suspect that the live projection "filming" was also what we got from Earls Court 1975. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The Knebworth shows, unlike Earls Court and Seattle, were recorded so every camera recorded to its own tape so alternate angles exist. The mix shown on the video screens were also recorded to tape as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that the live projection "filming" was also what we got from Earls Court 1975. Correct. For both Knebworth & Earls Court only the feed to the big screens was actually taped - not the individual footage from however many cameras there were. I suspect just one full colour video machine was expensive(and temperamental) enough to hire back then, let alone four or five. The cuts between shots on DVD are either what the video editor did in real time on the night, or between footage of the same song on different nights. You can spot this most easily in 'Going to California' where Roberts hair magically changes position from one cut to the next.

The mix shown on the video screens were also recorded to tape as well. I very much doubt the Knebworth shows had a beast of a machine running 2" tape for every camera. If they did we'd have seen a lot of different/unseen footage and angles than was on the bootleg releases. All we actually got was the best (from JP's point of view) bits of the 4th and the 11th edited together. The difficulty they had finding even one machine to play back that format in 2002 is testament to the amount of machines that were actually made to record on 2" tape, in full colour - i.e. not many! Here's a link to people who still transfer this stuff:http://www.dcvideo.com/ql-obsolete-2-inch-quad.php First look at the size of these machines (BIG) then read the 'Features' section : "Good quality analog video. Mono audio (although some third generation machines had stereo capability). Had a cue channel/time code track. Costly to purchase, operate, and maintain. Required skilled operators." The fact that the tapes actually survived in a playable form from 1979 to 2002 is miracle enough. I don't really think Zep would have hired more than one of those monsters to record the Knebworth concerts.

ledzepfilm Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 No. There are many different alternate angles from the 4th and 11th on the official DVD... if you have a good eye, you will notice some. It isn't as simple as mixing the best of what was shown on the screen, which was the case with Earls Court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
