chillumpuffer Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) A good read. However, what isn't mentioned at all is the Iceland footage of the same year 1970. If you put together RAH, Bath and Iceland in the same year, then you could easily assume that a documentary was on the cards? Who filmed the Iceland stuff anyway? That little snippet of Dazed on the DVD is wonderful and it makes you wonder what happened to the rest of it? The band surely recorded the Audio to accompany the Visuals as the film clearly shows.

reids Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I’m sure someone (a group of tapers) is holding out for more money or something . They need to go ahead and just release all of the footage before no one is left to enjoy it. It’s only 50 years after MSG ‘73. … R😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custard pie man Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 JPJ said once when asked why new release took so long that it was quick in zep time lol, well after reading all this I can see 2 possible reasons why things seem to take forever, first the band members are very insulated by corporate management and second they seem to be very cheap when it comes to paying up, "tighter than a bulls ass during fly season" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Halfin - Little Side Gnome Wasn't the Iceland footage shot by a local news crew? A bit like Zeppelin's arrival at Schiphol /Amsterdam 72 . Especially since the Iceland show was part of a larger cultural program, I can imagine the National Television would cover the arrival of England's most popular band. Secondly it was shot in B&W, another hint it was most likely a television news flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rm2551 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 That was indeed a great read. Imagine if the BBC didn't ask to use some footage. Zep might have never been aware of the auction and some lucky punter would have hit the jackpot! How it ever came to that though. Amazing.

I really can't believe that's all there is. Come to think of it what happened to the story of Zeppelin's show in Central Park in 1969? Yes we have the audio on Bootleg but didn't some guy have film footage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelangelo Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 They should have filmed the whole concert!!! But that was apparently never on the cards, to begin with... Too bad!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
