Doubt away my friend but it was a full film crew as far as I know. The film company held the visual rights and Zep the audio rights and there's been several fallings out over the years while trying to come to a deal.  

Zero evidence for a full film crew.   This subject has been discussed heavily and none of the pictures show an active film crew shooting the entire night with multiple cameras.

Well Peter Whitehead owns the footage, it was believed unusable due to the fact that the lighting wasn't good with Zep playing at dusk. However: "Professor Chibnall said that Whitehead thought the footage was unusable due to insufficient lighting, but “it is usable because, I mean, it can be, it can be restored now. So you can raise those lighting levels, you can see more digitally,” the professor said. "

It’s only 30 mins from one camera and most of it is backstsge.  So basically not much usable except for a few minutes of one camera with poor exposure

I also highly doubt the existence of full Bath footage or multi-tracks. From my memory, Bath was shot with a single camera from the side of the stage by some dude working on a documentary of sorts. I've never seen or heard any evidence that any more would exist, and I've never seen anyone try to support that conclusion until now.

Can you supply any more evidence than this? Because as of now this seems very out of left field and unlikely.

Page himself confirmed the multi tracks back in ‘78

But like...

could you show a link to an interview, or at least provide a date? Not trying to be aggressive, it’s just only providing a year is very general and doesn’t give much more context.

Sure, I’ll post the interview at some point.
