New Led Zeppelin

I've just bought the new Zep DVD-a double disc set featuring 5 hours of Zep coverage from '69-'79-the visuals aren't always pristine but the sound is awesome.
Features loads of different snippets from various locations-funniest being a French TV performance where a whole orchestra can be seen watching on alongside a frankly bemused looking audience who look as if they've turned up for an evening of classical music and Zep just blast it out.
Also picked up the triple live CD How The West Was Won-again the sound is awesome-haven't heard it all in detail but it mashes TSRTS soundtrack in it's wake-looks a little overblown in places but some nice unusual tracks to hear.
Both essential for Zeppelin fans and it really strikes home how brilliant they were in their heyday.

Thanks for heads up on the Led Zep DVD release. Not that I want to lay a whole lotta "been there done that" hot air on my fellow 'gonsters, but in the travels of my wayward youth, I did manage to make it to both of their Kenbworth shows. They never sounded better, and they played a bunch of songs that hadn't been performed on their 77 US tour. I am surprised that material form the 75 Earl's Court shows was included. By legend and reputation, (and by Robert Plant's own admission), the Earl's Court gig was definitely not up to snuff.

Once I get my hands on a copyof the DVD, I'll share a quickie review.
