Exclamations of religious awe are in order. Legendary and long sought-after, this live Led Zeppelin collection is nothing less than the rock music equivalent of the Holy Grail. Quite simply, this is what all the fuss was about.

Given that they were the biggest band in the world, Zeppelin were notoriously camera-shy in their heyday. Their official filmic legacy until now has been just the fascinating but flawed The Song Remains the Same. While this new set presents some previously unseen footage from the same 1973 Madison Square Garden gigs, its real wonders lie in the earlier (1970) Royal Albert Hall footage and the later Earls Court (1975) and Knebworth (1979) concerts. Everything here looks and sounds new-minted, thanks to painstaking restoration and remastering of both audio and visual sources, a Herculean labor of love on the part of co-producer Dick Carruthers working hand-in-glove with Jimmy Page. Trawling through thousands of yards of previously unseen film and unheard tape recordings--some with missing visuals, some with missing audio--Page and Carruthers have chosen only the best possible footage available. They were also at pains to make the segments segue seamlessly so that the viewer is treated to what feels like a continuous concert--just sample the transition from a grainy Super 8 "Immigrant Song" (Sydney, 1972) to "Black Dog" at MSG.

Highlights? It's not hyperbole to say that every powerhouse minute of this collection (some 230 minutes of concert footage plus another hour and a half of extra DVD material) is a rare musical and visual treat. But hearing Page's violin bow work on "Dazed and Confused" in DTS or Dolby 5.1 is an experience not soon forgotten. --Mark Walker

I was one of the priviledged few to have seen Led Zeppelin live in New York City at the young age of 14. (I had the coolest dad). When everyone else was listening to the Bay City Rollers my room was literally wallpapered with Led Zeppelin posters, so much so that when I finally took them down (somehwere around age 26) the walls around the posters were yellow. I held a candlelight vigil for John Henry "Bonzo" Bonham for months after his death. I wrote letters to Swan Song begging them to convince them to go on. (I still have the replies from a lovely woman named Diane who worked there.) Anyway, you get the point. This DVD set (sans the Immigrant song in the beginning of the second DVD which is a little fuzzy) is perfect. If you are young and want to see what all the fuss was about buy this and you will know why they are truly the greatest. One of my favorite tracks from this set is Since I've Been Loving You. The bluesy sounds of the band paired with Robert Plant's orgasmic singing will blow you away. I saw snippets of their O2 London tribute concert from December of 2007 (God Bless You Tube) and I must say, even in their 60s they've still got it! I truly wish the band would release their choke hold of the NYC concerts and release them on DVD in their entirety (You can see snippets of them from the movie The Song Remains The Same.) That would be awesome. Buy this, you will not be disappointed.

If you were at all disappointed with "The Song Remains The Same" this is the dvd for you. Straight concert footage of two amazing shows plus some great extras.

I love this DVD, every single part. I especially enjoy Earl's Court accoustic set, it is so beautiful and has the best version of That's The Way I have ever heard. I know a lot of people say they didn't sound so great at Knebworth, but if you can get pass the sight of Jimmy Page's pit stains it is a real treat. A definite must have for any Zeppelin fan!
