 DVD wrong region January 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Beware when buying this. My first copy of this was returned due to the DVD being region 1 NTSC format, it's replacement was also region 1 NTSC. Unfortuntely my TV does not support NTSC, it has now been returned for a refund.
 A very impressive and entertaining introduction. January 10, 2008

I had heard of Led Zeppelin but apart from 'Stairway to Heaven' did not know their music. I must admit, I always found the song I knew to be rather boring. I am first and foremost a country music fan who also likes Springsteen, Young, Seger, Dire Straits etc. I say all this because this is not a review from a Led Zeppelin fan as such, just a music fan. Why did I buy this?! I was given Plant and Krauss's superb album and was impressed by Plant's voice. I went to see Uncle Earl whose last album was produced by John Paul Jones and he performed at the show. I also read the praise the group and this collection was getting so I thought I would give it a go. I am pleased I did. It is a thoroughly entertaining 2 CD set of rock hard and soft with numerous outstanding performances. I was particularly impressed with Whole Lotta Love, Immigrant Song, Black Dog, When the levee breaks and Trampled Under Foot. I was even impressed with Stairway to Heaven. Great singing, great musicianship, great songs and rock music at its best. A great introduction to a group that appears to deserve its legendary status. I can see me buying more of their albums. Recommended.

I would just like to put in some very minor abuse for those who still, after all these years, cannot appreciate Led Zeppelin's music. Girls Aloud? WHAT??? If you need uplifting, listen to the entire song. Just lie back, turn up the stereo, and let Jimmy Page and Robert Plant tickle your spine as you air-guitar your way through Babe I'm Gonna Leave You or when the Levee Breaks...Led Zeppelin are, in my fairly unbiased 19-year-old view of modern music, still the most gifted and influential musicians on the planet. The Original and Best Rockers, brought back to modern taste with this brilliant remastering. Listen Loud, and Listen Hard.

Some people over the last few weeks have acted as if the reformation of Led zeppelin was the second coming,this compilation should be called "We saw you coming"instead.
Led zeppelin fans(Of which i am one)deserve better than this,if you are new to the band musically this is a cheap (and shoddy)way of getting into them,Zeppelin are musical giants,and this compilation fails them by a long way,There are no new tracks on this album and all tracks will be familiar to Fans,the tracks are all brilliantly performed but they stem from the other albums they were originally recorded for.and sound odd in this Configuration.
If you want to hear Zep in their full glory Listen to ALL of the original albums and then try "Remasters""How the west was Won"and the glorius "Led zeppelin"DVD to hear how Zep should be heard,and whoever designed the Package,should be forced to listen to Girls Aloud at maximum volume!!!
On the whole a great collection December 27, 2007

It seem to either love or hate Led Zeppelin. Whilst there is no denying they were egotistical and self indulgent the magic of their music still hold sway today and they remain essential listening to people who weren't old enought to remember them the first time round.
All Zeps classics are here: Dazed And Confused, No Quarter, Whole Lotta Love, Black Dog, Stairway, Kashmir and other gems too long to list.
My only quibbles:- Tangerine from the vastly underrated Led Zeppelin 3 should have been included. This is a beautiful song and never seems to get played. D'yer Mak'er (From Houses Of The Holy) is nothing more than a filler and should have been replaced with The Rain Song.
That aside, first class. Enjoy.
