Also available in Hi-Def and Blu Ray! Reader Reviews I must say that if you are a Zepplin fan, you will love this movie. Is it the best live concert footage ever made? No. Is it hoaky? Yes. It was made with the intentions of giving fans a look at the band from a " backstage " point of view. It evolved into something else. A mix of live footage with a twist of.....let's just say strange. But, enjoyable to any die hard Zep fan out there. So.....first off, the picture is very nice. It is not " reference " quality. It shows it's age. The film was never shot with the intentions of being perfect. It is concert footage. Gritty, raw, real. So, if you can keep that in mind. You will enjoy be watching this title in it's best possible presentation. The restoration of this film shows. It is clean of dirt and scratches, but the colors are not stable throughout. You will notice many changes in picture quality as concert scenes change to the movie portion. The concert scenes are clean, sharp. Colors are very nice and bright. Best I have ever seen. But, the actuall movie portion did not fare as well. The blacks do not hold up. Some are poor, some are good, some are very good. Uneven at best. But, the movie is over 30 years old. So, you must cut it some slack. The audio was much, much better than I expected. With my home theatre system, all sound fields were covered nicely. Your subwoofer gets a very good workout also. Clean, crisp voices throughout. Nicely done I think. So....with that said. I would say this title is worth buying for any Zep fan. Picture quality is good. Not perfect, but good. Sound is better. If you are not a Zep fan, keep an open mind. This was the mid 70's. It was a sign of the times, from a Icon band that still holds the test of time. Enjoy!
