This movie was beyond my expectations. It was well directed by Dick Caruthers. For those who thought, Led Zeppelin didn't have anything left in them...think again and after seeing this document of their one off reunion on December 10, 2007 from London's O2 Arena, it will certainly change your mind on this. Even if you're not a huge fan of the band you'll certainly enjoy it.
This is all concert and performance with no backstage or other footage of the band. The closeups are amazing with so much detail. The use of Super8 cameras mixed in with the HD footage works well, but sometime this grainy type footage is a bit over done.
The band is a little slow in the beginning in the performance as well as a few feedback problems. Once they start "In MY Time of Dying", they really hit their stride. Other highlights include, "Trampled Under Foot", "Nobodys Fault But Mine", "No Quarter", "Dazed And Confused" and the first ever performance of "For Your Life" among others. "Kashmir" which closes the main set is just Grandiose, amazing!
The interaction between the band is quite positive, with a lot of smiles, nods and many facial grimaces by Jimmy Page. You could tell they were having a good time and you will to once you experience this film, that shouldn't be missed by any music fan.
Pros one of the very best music documentaries, music and permorance are top notch, great closeups of the band, several of their best ever live performances
Cons overuse of super8 cameras
Yes, I recommend this movie.
