Jorge Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Could anybody, who has already seen the new DVD, give a good description about the new release? Is the movie the same as the one in 1976 but improved in sound and quality? Does it still have the "fantasy sequences"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve The Lemon Sauer Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 There was an excellent description of the new TSRTS release in a guitarists' magazine a month ago. Check http://lemonsqueezings.blogspot.com/2007/1...are-vastly.html for a summary of the article and its interview with sound engineer Kevin Shirley.

Soccerzubs Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I was watching the original TSRTS and it was sort of boring at first, but Disc 2 sounds exciting, I guess there is my X-Mas present, since I just bought Mothership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccerzubs Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Boring???? Well I didn't know it was an actual movie, I was so confused when it started out, just showed them with their families or doing something random, I wanted to hear them play, just wasn't expecting that.

I am going to buy the dvd, but I would also pay money $$$ for just the MSG performance.. hint hint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpilot Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Frankly I think the 'music video' sections are really cool and for the time were conceptual pieces that lots of bands were experimenting with in the 60s and 70s remember MTV didnt exist yet. I saw TSRTS in a smoke filled cinema at the midnight showing it was an event with a like minded cinema audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargroves Tangie Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I watched the new TSRTS DVD today & noticed something that I don't remember from the first DVD: near the beginning, just after the opening credits are rolling over the backdrop of NYC, there is a brief shot of Grant & Cole coming out of the door in their gangster outfits (like what was already shown earlier)- and then it cuts right to when Grant is preparing to leave for the tour. Anybody else's DVD have this or is this maybe a glitch with my DVD player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donald Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 For me, the two extra songs - OTHAFA and Celebration Day - plus, the various beautiful menu footage are the highlights of the new DVD. OTHAFA is my favorite on disk 2 by far. All in all, with the much improved sound of the original film and the various extras, the DVD is worth the price IMO.

Thanks Trashbag- now I have to go dig out my TSRTS VHS tape (from it's first release in '84) to see if it's on there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smuds Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I am thinking about holding out and buying the HD DVD or Blu Ray version. Has anyone seen or heard any discriptions about the quality of the hi def versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 i just bought the collectors edition. its totally worth buying! the footage and sound is absolutely amazing. plus there are cool photos and a t-shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIBLY Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 There's an option in the menu to just (mainly)watch the concert which is a relief. The Fantasy sequence were only added because when the footage shot on the nights was viewed there were big gaps in the songs that they didn't have on film. They don't bear repeated watching imho.

Aquamarine Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 And now, this very minute, they just sent me an e-mail saying it's been shipped. Perhaps they've broken out the eggnog a bit early at Amazon HQ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea41 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Yup, it rules, I just got the TSRTS Collector's Edition Box from Amazon in the mail yesterday. It's f'in amazing! Great package for the buck, love all the extra in the box and on the 2 DVD's. Aside from the famous NQ edit, the package looks and sounds great and has tons of unseen footage on Disc 2. Any Zep fan that doesn't grab this asap is brain damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway_chile Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I had a very rare streak of patience which paid off for me saving a few bucks. Hastings ran this on add on Nov. 20 for $13.99; Best Buy was $16.99 and Wal-Mart is $25.99!!! But my local Hastings could not find the 3 copies they showed on hand until today! Because I picked up a raincheck for it on the 20th, I save another dollar. Yes, I was really eager to get this in my hands, but $12.99 is pretty sweet! I haven't played it on my DTS system/big screen as yet, but I'm quite impressed at this point with the audio and video improvements just from playing disc 2 on my 32" NTSC and analog stereo receiver. The bonus Tampa news report and Drake Hotel press conference is all pretty cool as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
