Becoming Led Zeppelin


Caught a matinee viewing(Non Imax- unfortunately)with the friend for the opening of "The Song Remains the Same" in 76.

Timeline focus is on the 1st & 2nd LP and well paced. It was nice to see footage I haven’t seen before.

The picture and SQ surprisingly good, which had me wishing we made the effort to see the IMAX version.

Zepheads- see the IMAX version if you have plans to see this

Fun watch for a Rock film.

Zep trivia- JPJ revealed he listened to Quads in his setup!

@pehare - I got to see them in '69 at the Laurel Pop Festival in Laurel, MD. They were told they had to finish up their set so they said, "One more?" - they got permission and played 'How Many More Times' for over 30 minutes! But they still weren't done - as they were walking off the stage, they suddenly ran back and started playing 'Communication Breakdown', and then they cut the power off on 'em. Plant let out a scream that you could hear unamplified though most of the venue! 

@larsman I'm envious of that era show (I'm only 64) sounds like a great one what a great memory.  There was an older lady in the crowd for the movie (of only six - matinee) who said after the show she'd seen them in '69 too.  She said she enjoyed the movie.  @tablejockey @noromance of course.... those were the days.  For BCLZ I chose something more modern lol, an edible and a concealable flask of distilled spirits. 

I saw them in 73? Houses of the Holy tour.   Amazing but the drum solo went on and on for way too long.  As a side note, my GF, now my wife said that Robert Plant had a huge boner throughout most of the show.  We were sitting third row center at the Providence Civic Center.  Thought I would share that bit of nostalgia.  

Robert Plant "Fate of Nations" is a beautiful album along with "No Quarter" Paige and Plant from the 90's. I was in my teenage days just discovering these guys. 

 

Absolutely rocked out watching this Documentary at the movies. What a tribute to the musical genius of Led Zeppelin.
