Led Zeppelin at Earls Court 1975

This production contains what is widely considered by many collectors to be the highest quality film footage of the 1975 Earls Court concert. It is a two DVD set and it is over three hours in length. Not only is the video of the highest quality and resolution, but all the audio tracks have been digitally remastered in Dolby stereo.

Overview and DVD contents:

The Earls Court concerts are considered by some critics to be the best ever performed by the band, and the shows received generally excellent reviews from the music press , music journalists who attended the performances, recalled years later:

The band played with tremendous fire, possessed by an almost demonic power, amidst clouds of smoke pierced by green laser beams. Jimmy Page flailed his violin bow against the guitar strings, producing eerie, echoing gothic howls. At the time, I wrote in a review that "Robert Plant maintains an essentially human, chatty approach to audiences, almost like a guide taking us through the story of the band, a jester at the wheel of some fearsome juggernaut, offering sly asides and poetic ruminations between moments of terrible power." ... The band enjoyed the physical graffiti material far more than the old war horses, and the best moments from the previous albums came in the shape of ballads and acoustic songs.

According to Led Zeppelin archivist Dave Lewis:

When Led Zeppelin undertook the series of five shows at London's Earl's Court Arena on May of 1975 they were at the very peak of their creative powers. Spurred on by the critical and commercial success of their sixth album, the double set Physical Graffiti, each show they played took on event-like proportions. The 17,000 capacity Earl's Court afforded them the luxury to showcase in the best possible setting, the sheer enormity of their stage act. Over five nights of May '75 Zeppelin delivered perhaps the most impressive series of shows of their entire career ... Photographic images from the shows still light up the pages of countless Zep features and books, bootleg performances are eagerly snapped up,and the official video footage of the gigs projects the sheer magnitude and power of Led Zeppelin in full flight more than any other surviving film of the group.
