Finally concert footage of the band I can enjoy. I've have not
seen their box set or heard it. I couldn't stand their early
outing The Song Remains The Same. Sadly though, I probably will
not be picking this up. Why? Because the dickhead director f
ucked it up with his MTV style editing. Good Gawd with the quick
edits. It's just headache inducing. The closing song Rock and
Roll, I just had to look away.
It's not as horrible as some like Rush. But still the quick
edits are fast enough here to frustrate the living f uck out me.
This could have been it. The concert.
The audio was amazing. Every player caught pristine clear...
even at high volume. Robert Plan impressed me with his vocals.
He is definitely laid back with a lower octave, but does not
fail perform. But Plant can still scream nicely when he needs
too. Jimmy Page was fun to watch. The dude can lean back while
playing. John Paul Jones impressed the hell outta me. The dude
plays keyboards and bass at the same time and he does it so
well. Jason Bonham represents his dad well. Plays strongly and
then some from what his dad laid down.
The stage was massive. The audience was massive. Thank gawd they
didn't bring them into the video too much.

If you haven't seen the bootleg of the show, by all means check
it out. I love it and have watched it a few times over the past
year or so. This is already on my Must-Buy list. Once I get it,
I'll post my review. Original review here

I read some of (ok, a lot of) reviews over on Amazon as I'm
looking to pick this up for myself. A lot of people are slamming
the editing of the show which leaves me somewhat concerned. One
of the worst edit jobs ever appears on KISS Symphony and to this
day I can't watch it as it induced Nausea, Vertigo and
Tourette's syndrome on my part. I want to get this, but not if
it's as bad as everyone is making it out to be.

I suggest caution then. Replayability?
I'm glad I got to see it, but due to the editing, I doubt I'd
ever rewatch this.

I keep checking on YouTube looking for samples of what the
editing may look like. So far, no one has posted anything.

Here ya go... Black Dog

It's obvious the director was editing to the song mimicking
changes. You might find it acceptable... I can't. I guess it's
more irritating on the big screen too. I'm only 10 ft away from
my large screen and it becomes a strobe.
I can only imagine the director standing back with the editors
chirping out instructions when to switch camera's
Plant...Page....Bonham....Jones...Plant...Bonham...Page...Audien
ce....Jones....Page....
ugh

Just watched the Black Dog clip and I gotta say, I find nothing
wrong with the editing at all. Sure, it may be a little quick on
the edit button in some spots, but overall it didn't affect the
pleasure of watching the clip. Based on the reviews at Amazon, I
was expecting something along the lines of this......

Well good gawd, what Epileptic seizure inducing director put
that together.
Dude, anything compared to THAT is going to look good. Yes, the
Zep editing is not nearly as quick as the Kiss, but IMO, it is
still way to fast to get invested in. And what I mean is that
you lose connection with the performance and the musicians. I
think for some reason, these folks are equating quick edit
visual with the beat of the song, or the energy on the stage.
But who watches a concert like that? Movies quick edit to tell a
story. A concert is one continuous flow with the spot light on
individuals at any one time. My eyes are not dancing around the
stage every second.
Take a look at this recent concert footage of Chris Rea. Notice
the flow. Notice how the camera holds onto Rea and the musicians
and you get a sense of connection... of being there. This is an
example of what I expect when watching a concert.

No, I totally get where you're coming from. And to bring it full
circle and back to Zep, the original bootleg of the O2 Concert
that I posted at the beginning of Led Zeppelin Live
HTML http://pennycan.createaforum.com/the-concert-venue/led-zeppelin-2007-reunion-concert/msg3472/#msg3472<br
/>is the way I prefer all my concerts to be. Just one stationary
camera, one shot and no cuts of any kind. Another prime example
and probably how all concerts should be shot is one that's
considered very crude by today's standards. Hell, it was crude
by 1973 standards. I'm speaking of course about KISS' Coventry
Gig

/>It's AWESOME in its simplicity!!!!
