[Heeplist] Led Zeppelin Deluxe Remasters

[Igor Shveitser]

 Ain't that amazing: we all have our favourites and sometimes it seems more and more controversial! For instance, despite being quite critical towards Led Zeppelin in general, I absolutely love The Song Remains The Same!!! In fact, if I had to choose which live show of the 70-s impressed me the most, that'd be that film, and nex would be Deep Purple's California Jam. Still, I am sure it has much to do with the overall quality of the product including the footage itself. Impressive and sending shivers - that'd be the right definition for me.
Cheers, Igor

>I have Earls Court on DVD, good show, they had good shows throughout, not sure about the last tour, they have all been bad. As for the reunion show, I really like that one, in fact it might be the best Plant ever sounded for a complete show. It's the noodling that I could never take which is interesting because that's what I normally like best about live shows. It's funny because I thought the best live Zeppelin was Jimmy Page with the Black Crows. I do think the 70 live show on that first Zeppelin DVD is amazing, I also like How the West was won, and the live at the BBC album are all must have releases, and I'm really looking forward to the live show that a bonus disc on one of the upcoming remastered. The thing is I was a major Zeppelin far through the first five albums really, and got every bootleg I could find through 77. There's a lot of bands I really liked a lot that I still enjoy now, but I don't feel that way about them after the fourth album. DS

>>Gotta strongly disagree with you, Dave, although The Song Remains the Same is not a great show and, considering the number of legendary live hard rock albums in the 70s, is possibly the worst. I have several other live shows of theirs that are excellent, and their 1977 show at the Kingdome in Seattle remains one of the best I've ever seen (as well as being widely available on good quality bootleg video). In fact, their Earls Court shows from 1975 are of a performance quality similar to Heep's Live 73 album (a small portion of which have been officially released on the CD/DVD set a few years back), and even the 2007 reunion show is superb. Not to mention that their shows were far longer than Heep ever played, although some of that was due to excessive noodling by all 3 musicians! ;-)

>>I'm not a huge Zeppelin fan, and I don't have any problem with anyone who doesn't like the band, but IMO anyone who calls Zeppelin overrated is suffering from jealousy that they have become the most important hard rock band in history. Yes, I'll always prefer Uriah Heep (and I'll never believe that Zeppelin were better than Heep), but there was a reason for their success, and it was far more than just Peter Grant's manipulation of the press.

>>Now that's what I call over rated. I was a pretty big fan through the first 5 albums really, though I only feel the first 4 are classics. Sadly they were one of the weakest live bands ever, except for the drums which could be the best rock drummer in history, Mr. John was amazing no question there, or any being over rated. DS
