The glory of film. 35mm of film is equivalent of shooting 4k digitally. As long as the film stays in good condition, they can digitize the entire song remains the same to be in 4k digital rather than whatever they digitized it to for the DVD release.
Yes Indeed. Back in those days movies were shot properly with nice color and lighting/exposure. Today everything is done digitally and/or computerized so that the "color" comes out all green and yellow or steel blue, looks like crap, plus there is no proper lighting/exposure today. A small bit of today's tv shows ( usually documentaries ) look ok but the majority of it is terrible to look at. The peak era for motion picture quality seems to be the mid sixties although it was still excellent through the seventies.
@John David Yes, I have vintage Sansui AU9500, Marantz 4400, Marantz 2250b, Marantz 2285, Pioneer HPM 100 speakers so I know and love the sound quality. Can't stand the gear of today. When I play original 1969 vinyl of Zep ll or Johnny Winter Second Winter or James Gang Yer Album on my system the sound is incredible. Incidentally saw The Song Remains The Same on a huge screen at the show back in Nov 1976, will never forget it, amazing picture and sound.
Plant looks like he didnt even break a sweat. Hairs not even the slightest bit frizzy. Constant professionals. Powerhouse business men. World class musicians.
@Drunk Captain They were saying that in the 80's. I remember my friends and I liked Zeppelin and Hendrix and bands like that in Jr High early 80's and they were considered dinosaurs even by then. They weren't.
We always heard the rumours of songs cut from the original film they would show in Toronto at the Music Hall in the 80's.packed the place every Fri n sat.
35mm film is as good as digital 4K. Digital quality has only just caught up with the quality of proper film and even the lighting and colour will never look as realistic as this
No doubt. The dude in while short handed him some lemon luddes, only mildly wasted during concert. Now trying to get to the same far out planet that Jimmy Page has been since first song.
I remember me my 2 buddies some 20ish years ago watching this gig. 3 Kids mind blowing, we were petrified by how great they sounded, looked and literally brought the MSG dwon. It was the first time i saw a video of Zeppelin playing live. Few years later me and my 2 buddies formed a band together lasted 3 years, then we went separate ways. We still play eventually, i was the lead singer and play guitar and the others were lead guitar and bass. We still love Zeppelin and still friends in spite of living far away from each other!!
the first cell phone was made in april 1973, this was recorded summer of 1973. I highly doubt even a single person in the whole arena owned a cell phone.
WJB Motown no, YOU dont know what you’re talking about. If you think NO ONE is playing LIVE music, you sir, are a dumb person. But why do YOU think I’m here? So i could find comments like yours and take a mean piss on them? No way. I love this band so much, but just because i like an old band, doesnt mean I’m blind to see the TRUTH. Also this aint a conversation. No ones talking to you boo. Maybe go back to doing old people things and stop ranting on the internet, because you OBVIOUSLY dont know what the hell you’re talking about. You’re just jumping to conclusions, like most people who think that ‘aLL moDErN muSiC iS TRaSh’ Also, its a meme, and I’m a huge Pink Floyd fan. Syd Barrett, and maybe the members of LZ themselves would laugh at your stupid comment.
Thanks for supporting my music 🎶 I’m so grateful 🥰 and I hope you never stop being a fan, I would like to honor you by giving you my personal information if that’s ok by you.💝
Those days, you get into the car and chat how awesome stuff was on stage, not worrying about not having a phone in the pocket or what not. How beautiful it was
I remember concert tickets costing about 6-7 bucks in the late 70's. Went to an all-day concert the summer of 1980 at JFK stadium in Philly and it was $12 for six bands. Journey, Sammy Hagar, Bryan Adams, The Tubes and some others.
Without any planning or foreseen it, the 70's music environment accomplish a level of fusion & experimental never seen before or after. It was non-stop. And it's truth, you didn't have to mortgage the damn house.
I saw them in Baltimore that year and it was spectacular. You would have loved it; they were as good as advertised They opened the show exactly like this. It about blew you out of your seat. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oxHoLtrGNCA.html
I too would have given them your left one to have seen them in 73👍😁. No but seriously, those people were so fn lucky. I was only 12yrs. So just a bit too young.

they were peaking and already on the way down, after only a few years of prime performing. Plant was on the brink of losing his ability to belt fr his higher register and would face that finality a very short while later, never to regain his early vocal power & vigor. Jimmy would go on to fight his demons. Robert would lose his precious angel child 5 yr old Karac and Bonzo would leave us, bringing about the end of the mighty Zepp (1980) They were rock icons leading charmed lives but none could escape the tragedy & hardship of life. solid rock icons of a golden age never to come again.
@@kevinr.3542 You know those band bio-docs? Find the one on GFR. That was their crowning achievement - opening for Zep only to show them up so bad that Zep's manager went ballistic.
@@SelectCircle that's awesome. I've heard their manager was a rough character. Never heard Grand Funk got the best of the Zep but I believe it. They had their off nights and GFR were pretty unstoppable when they hit the scene
Look at how everything is cooler. There's not a central digital computer that handles all tasks. It's all electro-mechanical and human-powered. All those machines and instruments and amps have to be set up manually. Even the fans will get into mechanical cars and subways. They can't go on social media so in order to step down from the concert high, they'll have to interact with their friends. If you want to hear about it you'll have to go visit them or have them over to talk about, and you'll get a more visceral description and understanding of it. That's how Zeppelin's popularity spread. It spreads to fewer people but in a more intense and 'real' way than modern Pop stars. Does any of this make sense? The analog chemical-film camera brings that to you, I wonder if people born after the age of Computers and Digital can understand this or if they hunger for it.
@@sniffableandirresistble Film has always been expensive, but in those days the cost would have been high by 1973 standards. The film was entirely financed by Led Zeppelin and shot on 35mm with a 24-track quadraphonic sound recording. The live footage in the US alone cost $85,000.
Led Zeppelin a band of superlatives. The worlds best guitarist, singer, drummer and bass player. It’s incredible that they were all together in one group. 300 million albums sold up to just and still going strong.
You must have done too much acid in the 1970s. They aren't the best musicians in the world, that's for sure. Jimmy Page only played one-note solos, for starters.
@@tonyjedioftheforest1364 Please, after seeing what you published, I wasn't being patronizing. I was being generic, thinking any Led Zep fan would do or have done drugs. That's what the band was about. They were part of the British Invasion. British managers saw how the Beatles, marijuana and L.S.D., the Rolling Stones, heroin, and The Who, heroin pedophiles, were taking over the North American music scene, mostly using new technology. They asked Jimmy Page to start another stoner band because they had room for a North American tour. I see Led Zep as laughing all the way to the bank. I felt sorry for young people who had Led Zep as their first concert or hit album, wondering what they would use for a wedding or funeral. And then "Stairway to Heaven" came out. If you are young, you don't know what life was like before AIDS, when L.S.D. and cocaine were legal, recreational drugs.
@@johnwattdotca Whilst I agree that they're not the best musicians (and I don't believe there is such thing in the first place), your delivery was that of a total douche. Your comment about one note solos does make it sound like the acid one was nothing but pure projection
it’s so weird to see clips from the 70s in such high quality because it feels like it could have been filmed today, like this is the closest we can get to what it was like to be there
i remember watching this concert movie as like a 17 year old kid and just being blown away. I couldn't believe just how spectacular their performance was when it was just 4 guys under 30 playing like this.
Phenomenal musicians. They say that Bonham, at 17, was a fully-developed drummer. He knew and could do everything that a drummer of decades could do. And a bit more.
The high quality video is because this is from the blu-ray remaster of The Song Remains The Same. This was originally recorded on 35mm film as it was a major theatrical release. Because a film image is created by projecting light through a cell it has essentially limitless resolution. A film can be scaled to any resolution when converted to video. As long as the original is in good shape the quality should be excellent. This is why most movies are still recorded on film, and also why older movies can be re-released in 1080p or 4K or even higher resolution in the future.
@@flolorm2349 They would have been nothing without JBJ, especially live... he filled in SO MUCH sound it's ridiculous. He was a one man orchestra at some points lol
@@valuecalc Honest question: Are you @ross frank and just changed your username or you are actually speaking on behalf of another human being who you´ve never met in your life?
The level of their artistic performance at those MSG shows was divine. I can find no better word to describe it. The album "The Song Remains the Same" is the best live album ever recorded, and, I dare say, will ever be recorded.
@@gdevelek It's considered superior by knowledgeable Zeppelin fans, and Plant's voice was better in '72. It also has the acoustic set, which TSRTS doesnt have.
I remember playing little league baseball in ‘73, I was 11, and just loved Zeppelin. Finally saw them on their last U.S. tour in ‘77. Best time to grow up. Glad I lived in that era, and was very aware of my times.
my nan and grandad were hippies in the 70s and got to catch led zeppelin live round about this time. they also saw the stones at knebworth & deep purple also. whenever they mention it they never fail to make me jealous!!!
....dude I swear, if I was alive during the 70s and met Robert Plant face to face, no bullshit, I would pass out man......holy shit that man is....Mmmmmm🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Look at Peter Grant when they all are in the car after he locks his door he turns to the back to lock their doors as well truly a band manager protecting his band at every turn..... LEGEND 🤘also as a rock drummer from NYC that was born in 84 I would’ve donated myself to science to have seen the mighty ZEP IN MSG in the 70’s....✌️N ❤️ to all
Insurance companies did not allowed the band members to be in the same car ( in Chris Welch book ). And you can see Richard Cole showing the way ( yellow t-shirt ). These two guys were in the zeppelin's cockpit and these two only .
Robert was closer to Bonzo much closer. Bonham was the only Zep member who went home with Robert from their US tour when his young son died, and stayed with him.
@@Johnny53kgb-nsa Yes he also said he lived in the same neighborhood with Bonzo. I believe he was the one to suggest Bonzo to Page once he was chosen as singer. What a good choice. I've read interviews with Page where he didn't seem thrilled with Plant, but I'm sure they still have a bond.
Their manager Grant was so on top of everything that just before the car pulled away, he locked his door side and locked Plant's and Page's door sides. That is smart because there could have been fans outside the arena that could have opened the door and jumped in the car.
It is just me or could anyone else find it utterly fascinating if we could see Jimmy Page or Plant making a ham sandwich for lunch?? I mean, everything the guy touched was gold and he was a mortal god walking the earth amongst the minions. They were simply untouchable in 73; their live performances were staggering; their studio albums were mind-blowing and their fame was in the stratosphere. Rock On Zeppelin Gods!!
there's a video of Jimmy drinking orange juicel I swear I've watched it over and over and I have NO idea why. There's also one of him backstage walking to the restroom or dressing room....it too is on repeat. These guys were just rockstar god's. looking back now, amazing to see how young they were.
I did see a backstage video of Jimmy making a sandwich, or trying to, that is. He was not happy, as the bread slices were super small. Their manager tried to step in and tell him to just fold the larger slices of deli meat over so they'd fit on the bread, but Jimmy didn't really get what he was saying and he tried folding the tiny pieces of bread instead. Which of course made them crumble apart, and Jimmy said it was, "a catastrophe". It's on RU-vid.
Robert is just Beautiful! 💓💕 First time seeing this in the 1980s. Somehow I knew how Angels looked like 💕 by simply looking at Robert Plant back then. Together with Jimmy Page onstage, It's like night and day. Dark and Light. Blonde and Brunette. Loud & Quiet. You can't have one without the other. Elements of how successful Bands should be later on and in centuries to come.
