I love Led Zeppelin but feel that in some ways they were already passed their prime when The Song Remains the Same was filmed. I look forward to seeing performances from earlier in their career when life hadn't yet exacted such a heavy toll on the band. Interview footage from the DVD will be much appreciated as well since I have seen very little in the way of interviews with the band.

I son has just turned eighteen years of age and is a Zep fanatic. He plays drums in a tribute band and cannot get enough live footage. The forthcoming DVD and CD of live music, no matter what the content, will be enthusiastically received. It's not just about content, it's also, for a player, about inspiration, technique and stage presence.

Bryan, I would have liked to have seen a live version of "Ten Years Gone" myself--it's one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. About a decade a go, their performance of the song from Knebworth was shown about ten years ago on MTV, so obviously video of it exists. Although stripped down to an instrumental trio, and without Page's 17,000 guitar overdubs, it clearly lost the power of the studio version, which maybe why he chose to leave it off the upcoming DVD. But I'll bet everyone has a favorite Zep song that's missing from both sets. Me? I'll take what I can get, especially with the DVDs. Ed

Well from this preview of the work, I am dissapointed, The bbc sessions and the song remains the same give plenty of goodies from the first five albums of zep, and this review made it sound like their won't be much from beyond Houses of the HOly. Cmon, why can't I see something like Ten Years gone or in my time of dying live? Instead I am stuck with like 10 live versions of communication breakdown.

Tim, I think the press release was referring to "the only previously released live Zeppelin footage", i.e., movie footage. But even that isn't strictly accurate, as Zeppelin appeared performing "Dazed and Confused" live in a 1969 concert film titled Supershow, which was released by Sony on videotape in the late 1980s, and occasionally turns up on Ebay.

Not strictly accurate to say "The Song Remains the Same" is their only live release; there's also the BBC recordings released couple of years back, with a show from 1971
