CRAZY TALENT--FROM THE BOYS ACROSS THE POND

If you really love LedZep, totally recommend. But there are some really naff fantasy sequences, the beginning is totally disjointed and makes you wonder if you're in the wrong theatre. And there are some overindulged extended sequences even in the great concert parts. But the capture of that era and Jimmy Page makes it unmissable.

Very trippy film. Brought back memories of the 1970's. The band was phenomenal. The music all-encompassing and magnificent!

The cinematography quality was God awful. Looks like a bad home movie. You think they could do a better job. This shouldn't be a DVD it should be on the radio.

The amateurish and somewhat silly fantasy sequences work against this concert film overall, plus even for a Zep fan, the version here of "Dazed and Confused" goes on just a tad too LONG and could have used some judicial editing. Other than that, I think the group is in good form and plays some killer versions of their classic songs. Just watch it for the performance footage and backstage shenanigans

Heaven for Zep fans. The fantasy sequences are clunkily tongue in cheek so shouldn't be taken too seriously. The music is wild and thrilling but heavily improved in post production so it isn't really a live performance imo. Wonderful 70's bombastic indulgence from a stellar band of top-tier players. Loved it.

A simple straightforward concert movie Led Zepplin plays some of their most memorable hits from back in the day mixing the songs with fantasy scenarios Not much is really learned about the band members But for fans it feels like you're part of the experience

For starters, if you are looking for live Led Zeppelin, immediately go grab the 2-disc DVD that they released in 2003 (the desert sand one). That buries this release. Now on to TSRTS. What hasn't already been said about Zep's concert film? Nothing. It's a brief moment in time that was captured during their peak in NYC 1973 that is heavily flawed, a bit comical, criminally overdubbed and absolutely butchered by an editor. Eddie Van Halen absolutely said it best when he said Jimmy Page plays like he has two broken hands live and this is proof. Zeppelin was an absolute force and this film does them zero justice. TSRTS will only make you appreciate the records more and especially Page's lead playing and Robert Plant's voice, which is sadly powerless here even with some studio trickery. Still, it does have its pros in John Henry Bonham and the underrated John Paul Jones. And the blu-ray with 4 bonus tunes looks absolutely brilliant. Footage of these heavies is pretty scarce so I guess we should appreciate what we have.

I mostly liked this for the Led. Additional story lines were odd and distracting. Regardless, Zeppelin is legendary. Saw on TCM and hbo.

Still such a stunningly bad, hokey, concert film. Compared to other films of its era it’s utterly unwatchable. And considering it’s one of the behemoths of 1970s rock, arguably the greatest of that decade, they DESERVE better than this turkey.

holy shit what a great band, its a pity todays music is such crap

A fabulous adventure with Led Zeppelin in their prime. If you love or like Zep watch this movies.

I have been a huge Led Zeppelin fan since I was eight. This film is canon to Led Zeppelin fans, and until the 80s, this was essentially most of the footage that the world was exposed to from the band. They were mysterious and larger than life. They rarely gave interviews and let their music speak for themselves. This started changing when Robert Plant embarked on his solo career in 1982. The film is the gold standard of rock music films that all subsequent concert movies were measured to. The fantasy sequences are unique and add to the mystique surrounding the band members. Jimmy Page is The Hermit of the 4th album gatefold, actually filmed on the hill behind his Boleskine House (at the time; former house of Alesteir Crowley) . Robert Plant has a beautifully filmed rescue of a maiden in a castle tower. John Paul Jones shows a suspenseful encounter with what ends up being his family. John Bonham is in several personal scenes regarding his personal home life, cars, motorcycles and drag racing hobbies. Peter Grant, the manager is in a gangster shoot-up scene at the beginning of the film. The concert footage was filmed in New York during the 1973 tour. Some footage filmed at Shepperton Studios was added to the concert footage to improve the overall flow. The film's soundtrack is a popular live double album. Extended jams show the technical proficiency of the band and its members. Particularly notable is the extended Dazed And Confused, including an Elvis Presley medley of That's Alright and Mess Of Blues. This is gospel for Zeppelin fans. It will be difficult for non-fans to sit through and enjoy.

Wow Robert plant hasn't aged gracefully but they were a tour de force in concert. The film won't convert you, listen to the remastered albums.

one of the most iconic shows in the history of classic rock, well shot dream sequences in between an amazing show, captures a led zeppelin at their extraordinary peak

Love watching the greatest band in the world perform! This is my #1 concert to watch on DVD. Led Zeppelin is my soul to music!!!!!!

A great concert movie padded out with some pretentious twaddle. Worth watching just for the great music alone. Been a long time since I rock & rolled...

Led Zeppelin touring the U.S.A. in 1973. What music fan in their right mind wouldn't want to see this movie ?!

The very best concert Led Zeppelin ever performed, enhanced by various fantasy sequences, Zeppelin at the top of their game.

The greatest rock concert I've ever seen captured. The music is flawless, the feel is tornadic (That's the adjective version of tornado), and the music is FLAWLESS. If you truly love LZ you will love this. The filmed sequences in between are mostly terrible and the film would be better without them, but it does not matter. This music is so awesome and intense you will forgive it even if the whole video was your parents having sex with the concert in the background.
