Alan T 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. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review jon c 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 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/02/21 Full Review s r I mostly liked this for the Led. Additional story lines were odd and distracting. Regardless, Zeppelin is legendary. Saw on TCM and hbo. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
