Hey all, I am looking for a list of ALL the footage from 1977, pro shot and 8mm. Does anyone have a list they could make of it all for me? Thanks if ya do, very much appreciated. Also, on the Led Zeppelin youtube page, it has Sick Again and Achilles from '77, are they just the songs put to random videos or actual videos of the songs being performed? Many thanks once again!

google is your friend as is the Video section on this very site. The following list is credited to Bootledz:

1977, April 9 - Saturday

Location: Chicago, IL, USA

Venue: Chicago Stadium

Video: 8mm (18 minutes)

Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, The Rover (introduction) / Sick Again, Nobody's Fault But Mine, Since I've Been Loving You, No Quarter, and Ten Years Gone.

Comments: Color film without dubbed sound. Half of the footage shows band members from waist up while the other half is more distant.

1977, April 10 - Sunday

Location: Chicago, IL, USA

Venue: Chicago Stadium

Video: 8mm (4 minutes)

Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, No Quarter, The Battle of Evermore, Black Mountain Side, Kashmir, Trampled Underfoot, Moby Dick, and guitar solo.

Comments: Color film without dubbed sound. Band members’ height makes up just less than half the distance between the top and bottom of the picture’s frame.

Comparison: Latter Visions’ video quality is barely better than Empress Valley’s Great Chicago Fire. EV did a better job on the sound overdubbing.

1977, May 18 - Wednesday

Location: Birmingham, AL, USA

Venue: Jefferson Memorial Coliseum

Video: 8mm (10 minutes)

Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, In My Time of Dying, Kashmir, Moby Dick, and Rock and Roll.

Comments: Color film shot from the left, up high. Band members’ height makes up half the distance between the top and bottom of the picture’s frame.

1977, June

Location: New York City, NY, USA

Video: 8mm (1.5 minutes)

Comments: Color film without sound. Band members are shown outside the Plaza Hotel.

1977, June

Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, Sick Again, The Battle of Evermore, Kashmir, guitar solo, Achilles Last Stand, Stairway To Heaven, Rock and Roll, Whole Lotta Love, and Heartbreaker.

Comments: Color film with actual sound, shot between two nights. Footage is very dark. Distance scale ranges from full body filling half of screen height to full height.

Comparison: Latter Visions is missing three songs and it’s video is too degenerated. Assemblage contains the complete compilation of these two pieces of footage. It has a three or four small instances of digital problems within the first two songs.

1977, June

Location: New York City, NY, USA

Venue: Madison Square Garden

Video: 8mm (3 minutes)

Setlist: No Quarter and Ten Years Gone.

Comments: Color film with actual sound. Band members are shown from knees to head, filling the height of the screen.

1977, June

Location: New York City, NY, USA

Venue: Madison Square Garden

Video: 8mm (3 minutes)

Setlist: The Song Remains the Same through Battle of Evermore.

Comments: Color film without actual sound. Very horrible footage that’s blurry the entire time. Details cannot be seen. Band members height fill about a third of the screen.

1977, June 14 - Tuesday

Location: New York City, NY, USA

Venue: Madison Square Garden

Video: 8mm (7 minutes)

Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, Nobody’s Fault But Mine, guitar solo, Achilles Last Stand, and Moby Dick.

Comments: Color film with actual sound. Distance scale ranges with zoom lens, with band members height occupying one third to full screen height.

1977, June 22 - Wednesday

Location: Inglewood, CA, USA

Venue: Forum

Video: 8mm (7.5 minutes)

Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, Sick Again, Over the Hills and Far Away, and Achilles Last Stand.

Comments: Color film footage without actual sound. Shot from far right of the stage above the floor. Proximity (with zoom) ranges from band members’ height filling half the screen to full screen.

1977, June 23 - Thursday

Location: Inglewood, CA, USA

Venue: Forum

Video: 8mm (9.5 minutes)

Setlist: Trampled Underfoot, Moby Dick, guitar solo, Achilles Last Stand, Stairway To Heaven, and Whole Lotta Love / Rock and Roll.

Comments: Color film without actual sound. Shot from left of center with zoom. Closeness ranges from almost a full stage view to having half of band members’ height filling the screen.

1977, June 26 - Sunday

Location: Inglewood, CA, USA

Venue: Forum

Video: two 8mm (18 minutes & 2 minutes)

Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, Sick Again, Over the Hills and Far Away, No Quarter, Ten Years Gone, Kashmir, Moby Dick, guitar solo, Achilles Last Stand, Stairway To Heaven, and It'll Be Me.

Comments: These were both filmed in color without actual sound. The first source shows the band closely, shot from left of center stage. It typically shows band members from waist to head filling the frame. The other source was shot from far right of the stage above the floor, capturing a little bit of Stairway and the encore. It shows band members’ height filling one third to half of the screen.

Comparison: Cosmic Energy contains the encore, using a mixture of the two camera sources. Empress Valley has both sources.

1977, July 17 - Sunday 8pm

Location: Seattle, Washington, USA

Venue: Kingdome

Video: professional video (200 minutes)

Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, The Rover (introduction) / Sick Again, Nobody’s Fault But Mine, Over the Hills and Far Away, Since I’ve Been Loving You, No Quarter, Ten Years Gone, The Battle of Evermore, Going To California, Black Country Woman, Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp, White Summer / Black Mountain Side, Kashmir, Out On the Tiles (introduction) / Moby Dick, guitar solo, Achilles Last Stand, Stairway To Heaven, and Whole Lotta Love / Rock and Roll.

Comments: The entire show was professionally filmed in color. It is only found with degenerated video and good audio. However, the video is normally out of sync with the audio.

Comparison: Celebration's video has narrower width than 4:3. The width fluctuates quite a bit in the early part, all the way down to 3:3. It doesn't compress the picture, it just simply crops out the sides. The video is highly degenerated and branded with Celebration's logo. The audio is sufficiently loud but the more prominent notes have a distinct digital distraction. Akashic's video is consistently 4:3. The video is still degenerated but isn't as bad as Celebration's and is not branded. The audio isn't quite as loud as Celebration's, but it is all natural. Both titles experience some unsynchronized time in the early part.

Hercules has a little better picture than Akashic, but Cashmere’s seems to be a touch better. Bad Wizard’s video (April 2006 first issue and April 2008 reissue) has been brightened up a fair amount but it shows signs of compression. Their audio is similar to Cashmere.

Boogie Mama’s release is similar to Bad Wizard. The video is a little brighter and shows signs of compression. It has a very brief splice during No Quarter to one of the other audio sources.

Empress Valley’s title is the same generation as the more recent releases. It’s picture has a problem in the left hand margin for most of the video. Like Boogie Mama, it splices to an audience source during No Quarter. There are more signs of video problems during Moby Dick than on the other titles.

Wendy’s title is the same generation as the more recent releases too. It’s picture and audio content and quality vary some like the others.

Assemblage II has the last three songs in upgraded quality.

Location: Oakland, CA, USA

Venue: Oakland Coliseum Stadium

Video: 8mm (1.5 minutes)

Setlist: The Song Remains the Same and Sick Again.

Comments: Color footage. Band members’ height fills between one and two thirds of the screen height.
