Picked up the bluray/CD combo at HMV on the weekend. F'n amazing. They truly lived up to the hype.

i heard some of it on the radio last week and it was great. i've never been that into zeppelin, but the fact that it's something new (not material wise, but new performances) from zeppelin is enough in itself.

Pay day tomorrow ... then I buy this.

Bought it yesterday and watched it last night - fantastic. Plant still has the pipes.

Agreed. And I thought Jason Bonham did an excellent job filling his father's massive shoes. Dude is a killer drummer.

[Lizard King]

fantastic package, still amazing!

the band is on Letterman tonight if anyone watches Dave, just thought Id throw that out.

I bought the 4 disc box set from costco for $23 and the 2 cds are audio then 1 dvd is the concert and 1 dvd is rehersals.
I found that for me the concert started out a bit slow and sloppy, Good Times, Ramble On, Black Dog felt like the band was just warming up, BUT THEN when you hit song number 8 No Quarter and number 9 Since Ive Been Loving You they knock that fucker right out of the park. I thought song 14 Kashmir was a bit weak, but overall it was a great watch. I like how they threw in a lot of fan videos off the floor into the mix. You can tell some of this video was from phones and cameras in the crowd, but they would keep the good audio and mix in some video. It was a great idea which more bands could do, ask people to upload their videos to the band site and they make their own dvd and add in some fan shit. Overall I would give this an 8 out of 10.

Double-agreed.

That rendition of Kashmir is flat-out incredible

Without a doubt, Kashmir is in the top 5 best opening riffs of all time, it screams "turn me up" the second you hear it.

Indeed it is, and indeed it does.

In almost every other live version I've heard, they play at a slightly exaggerated tempo. This one is possibly even slower than the studio recording, and it's orgasmic.

Didn't they already reissue the Zep catalogue a couple years ago? Or were those just collectors editions? I remember the packaging looked like mini LPs. Or am I just crazy?

Quote from article "The catalog was last remastered 20 years ago," Page said, referring to the 1990 release of the four-CD box set, Led Zeppelin"

this made me feel extremely old......I can't believe it was 20 frigging years ago that the box set came out. Seems like it was just yesterday..........ugh

On a similar note, whatever did happen to crop circles, you just don't hear about them any more??...
