Does the Upcoming Led Zeppelin IMAX Film Make Up for a Disappointing Year in Rock?

[@zeppearl]

Well for me the new Pearl Jam album Dark Matter was a highlight maybe not classic rock but for a band around 30+ years it is a strong album. No action from the three Led Zeppelin members so YES this film is very welcomed in 2025. I did get to see Jon Anderson & The Band Geeks and it was great plus the BEAT tour, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Iron Maiden, Plant & Krauss many more so it was a great concert year at least for me. ( many live clips and videos I did on my channel on these). This film will only cover the rise of the band to 1970 it is going to be 2 hours of glory !!!!! The film will only go up to 1970 there will not be 1975 footage from what hear. Think about it, to tell the proper story of the film it would be like the Get Back film you need about 3-4 hour of segments haha and I would love that. .....to answer your question HELL YES I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS I already got my tickets for 5th early showing and the 7th grand opening showing yup two nights!!!! Thanks for the shoutout !!!! Great to see you brother !!!!

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Great point Vance! I meant top mention that the film only cover their early period, the metamorphosis! I’m Pinning this so others will see brother! And of course, you are welcome Vance! ❤

@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine if zeppearl is correct (and there is nothing out there to doubt him)...during that specific time period (1969-1970)....the movie audience will witness the greatest singer for all then and now ...plant had the pipes to complement/enhance what turned out to be THE music of all ages...i believe it was his voice (unlike no other) that perfectly matched what jimmys intent of the music was to become...plant in the live performances hit highs that were higher than even the studio versions with even more soul...the live performances during the 1968 - 1971 era (especially on the west coast) were sonic...jimmys tone at that time were iconic...i believe...once you experience LZ...no other bands/or music come close...i will be in attendance no matter what the movie distribution plans are...the only wish i have is that michael is correct in that later time periods are catured with narratives by the band...if anything, maybe jimmy will reproduce some of the live bootleg performances to be placed on digital media...blueberry hill (1970), osaka (1971), seattle (1977), texas (1975) NYC (1970)...etc...i also hope to see peter grant in the film...he deserves some time in the film.

[@allanbluzdude]

Of course I’ll see it! I’ve seen Led Zeppelin 18 times (1970-1977) While I like many bands and went to many concerts in the ‘70s, Zeppelin was by far my number one band.

18 TIMES !?!?!?! I would kill for just once, 18 damn ...I have seen Plant solo about 20 times, I was too young to see Led Zeppelin and when I started seeing shows in 1980 well we know what happened. 18 times I am so envious !!

I’ve loved Led Zeppelin for about 50 years, sadly never got to see them live. I was to young when they were in my area, & when I was a teen they played to far away, when I could drive they didn’t play in the US. I saw TSRTS when it first came out, I’d give up all the concerts I did see, just to see Led Zeppelin once. They were still are & always be, THE GREATEST BAND EVER! Already bought my ticket for the new movie, & I have to drive pretty far to go see it, we’ll worth it though.

I got my tix for Febuary 7 going to see it twice that day and many more !! I`m 54 and was lucky to see them 20 times last time was in 2007 that was 17 yeasrs in December. I have 750 bootleg Led Zeppelin cd`s . The bootleg market will never stop with Zeppelin. I was so stoked to finally get clean versions of When The Levee Breraks and Four Sticks this year !!

[@keitha.563]

LZ need to release the WHOLE career of the band.. this can't be all. Led Zeppelin were the biggest band of 70's this new doc is the beginning of their career. 1972 throughout 1977 thats the height of their popularity and their Mysterious journey. Jimmy has already said he is not talking about wild stories or even Bonzo's death in 1980. Definitely excited though for ANYTHING Led Zeppelin.

Peter Grant made one mistake, the lack of filmed Zep concerts 🎥🎸It apparently was a deliberate policy.

[@HardRockMaster7577]

Correct. All of the other Supergroups: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, and ELP all had extensive video coverage. In some ways, LZ pinched pennies, but lost many pounds not documenting their performances and studio recording...

Also because, plant on certain nights was bloody awful.

[@markdeloria20]

Zeppelin has been my favorite band since I was 12 years old (in1986). I've read/watched so many unauthorized biographies & documentaries about them that it's great that there is finally an authorized project. I totally agree that Zep was about the music first and foremost. All you gotta do is listen to it, you can tell that a lot of work went into that. The way they would improvise and extend their songs live is a perfect example. Yeah, there are all the wild and crazy tales about the sex and drugs, but the Rock n' Roll came first.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Wonderful response here Mark! And I concur wholeheartedly! ❤

[@williamhiles7404]

@keitha.563 No, I wished I could have worked for 'em, but just a young fan who wanted to learn Jame's way of playing guitar, which I did. Ma & Pa worked in the industry, so that made it easy to get tix, logistics, etc. Started playing guitar at 7, showed an amazing aptitude for it, so they helped me in my endeavors. When it was time for my attempt at a deal, (1976)I did not like any of what I saw or heard, or was offered. So my band and I went on the underground circuits(USA, Europe)and did quite well for ourselves. Only live music CD's, at the venues only. Retired in 2004 due to the beginning of health problems. Those 28 years were great. Thanx for your thoughts. I've had a great life, and would not trade it for anything. Peace & Music. LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹

Michael, I’ve been waiting years for something like this to be released. I live in LA so I’m sure there’ll be an IMAX close by showing the film. The Beatles and Zep are my favorite bands as well. I can remember how ecstatic I was when the 2003 DVD box set first came out. I first heard about this project about four years ago so I hope it lives up to the expectations.

Of COURSE I'll be jumping at the chance to see this. I've been a Zep-everything collector and fan for decades. When I was still a toddler, I was presented with the Beatles who became my favorite band- until I turned 13 and got hammered in the face with Led Zeppelin. I dropped the Beatles like a hot potato and never looked back. I wasn't old enough to see Zep live, but I did go see both of the Firm tours with Jimmy and Page/Plant in '95, along with seeing Plant live a couple of times. I've been waiting and waiting for this doc to come out ever since Page went public and planted the seed about it. I've seen just about every doc available about LZ but they have all been loaded with misinformation, DISinformation and inaccuracies of every kind. At long last, we will finally get the gold standard here!

Not the January ‘69 Fillmore shows but the April 24 & 27 gigs…are THE boots to hear IMO. I’ve heard blurbs over the years that it was Billy Graham himself who recorded these two shows. If anybody, Bill intuitively knew they were gonna be MONSTROUS. It sounds like an early SB tape as compared to someone sitting out 30’ away with a tape recorder. The night of the 24th we hear the bass amp crap out - and Robert attempting to keep the crowd occupied while they hooked up a new rig for Jones. The Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You from this night is phenomenal. Bonzo and Jones executing there parts with whiplash precision. The 27th features an AMAZING bass run by Jones during Train during Jim’s solo! It’s a must hear! This guy is beyond GOOD.

[@BruceColon-BSides]

This Zep doc has been long-coming. If Jimmy endorses it, it should be solid. Genuinely looking forward to this. They deserve a great documentary. Tears for Fears released a very strong live album this year. It’s the only tour I was able to catch them on (for The Tipping Point studio album) and they sounded great live. Their voices are incredibly well-preserved.

Only saw Led Zeppelin once.Thought they were pretty damn good but years later Page and Plant were asked what was their best performance. They agreed Sydney Feb '72 and "maybe" a toss up with another concert but there was TV footage of 72. If they find that it would be good but other than snippets, nothing much more in 50 years except Immigrant Song and some black and white stuff from Sydney..

And there are other young bands out there that I keep getting introduced to which are full of promise, IMO. This doesn’t mean I don’t still love classic bands like Zeppelin, but they can’t be, and I don’t need them to be, a source of musical enthusiasm and excitement for me. As great as they were, that’s just it… it’s all been done decades ago. Anything released now is not going to be fresh or overly exciting.

I have great hopes. Just hope it isnt Beatles 64

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Heaven forbid Chris! ❤😂

[@johnurban7333]

Loved Beatles ‘64. Just watched it again last night. Loved that they dealt a lot with The Beatles influence on the Black Artists and fans and vice versa. Great to hear the Motown artists of the day talking about the Beatles. Motown Artists were a big part of the music scene. I don’t understand why people were so turned off by this historical film. Led Zeppelin were also influenced by Black Artists of the day

2023 didn’t mention Rolling Stones album?

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

I was going off the top of my head but the Stones album came close to usurping Mirror to the Sky when I assessed them Allan! ❤

[@badger8800]

Exactly

[@TannerHemmingsen]

I think 2024 had lots of great rock releases. My personal favorites were the new albums from Bon Jovi and Deep Purple

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

I still haven’t had time to listen to Bon Jovi, but I sure agree with you on Deep Purple Tanner!🏆

[@davidenders9282]

David Bowie's Rock 'N' roll star (Ziggy Stardust boxset) & Thin Lizzy 1976 (Jailbreak & Johnny the Fox box set). Both awesome sets. My album of the year was The Black Crowes, Happiness Bastards. as good as their first 2 albums & was able to catch them live.

[@dungysphincter7974]

Classic Rock as we know it is all but dead! The industry itself is killing it. All we have now mostly is bubble gum music. I don't know which is worse elevator music or todays crap. I'll take the elevator music over what's being produced today. Certainly there are exceptions, but they are far in between. One in every 10,000 albums released are decent albums. The rest you couldn't pay me have them. Classic rock stopped after grunge type rock took hold, soon after that pretty much faded out. The recording industry needs a total revamp. Until then, I'll just keep listening to 30-65 yr old classic rock. The best music on the planet!

[@EricSchultz-zs8hz]

2024 pales in comparison to 2023. There were so many new releases by classic rock bands, including the freakin' Beatles, and a fine new album by the Rolling Stones. 2024 has been good, though, because we got the new Mind Games, Living in the Material World, and One Hand Clapping, plus the "Daytime Revolution" documentary. I'm looking forward to Led Zeppelin documentary, and the Bob Dylan movie.

[@frankpoperowitzmusic]

I don't know dude, 20 years ago I might have been going bonkers for this Zeppelin movie.. I've just seen so much of the stuff rehashed over and over. Same old clips. Same old stories. Think I'll just catch it when I can stream it on my phone or laptop.

[@drmusic3641]

Last year we also got a "new" Beatles song, a new one from Billy Joel, and a new Stones album. As far as an official anthology like the Beatles, I wouldnt hold your breath. We all know Plant probably will show little interest in contributing and Pagey being notoriously lazy wont get past the beginning stages. Plus, LZ doesnt have an army like Apple behind them. Don't forget we have Led Zeppelin's "DVD" boxset from 2003 at least for music performances.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Yeah and I covered a lot of what you mention here Doc! What I mentioned in tonight’s video was just the fluff off the the top of my head brother!😂❤

[@helenespaulding7562]

I wasn’t aware that Page was “noted” for being lazy. That’s a new one on me.

[@MJEvermore853]

Page has been accused of a lot of things in the past, but "lazy" isn't one of them.

[@helenespaulding7562]

@@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine Michael, you ever hear of Page being “notoriously lazy”?? New one on me

[@drmusic3641]

@@MJEvermore853 I wouldnt say he's been exactly prolific over the last 40 years. One solo album in the 80's, two albums with The Firm, a short collaboration with David Coverdale in the 90's. working with Plant during their short reunion and thats about it other than working on LZ catalog stuff (album reissues). He hasnt exactly kept up with Plants pace or even Jones' for that matter. When he chooses a project, he doesnt stick with it very long.

[@Fuxerz]

Deep Purple's lp is not bad. It's a bit out of the realm of classic rock. It's tough to put a theme on it.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Once I got used to the shorter soloing, the more I lived it Fuxerz! ❤

[@robertgodlewski8553]

Why couldn't they just release more live concerts. Documentaries are boring!😢

[@jameswilson7084]

It was a great year for pop music. One of the best in a while. 😊 I think the latest Deep Purple "=1" album is excellent. That made my Top 10 albums of the year. And there were some pretty good classic rock re-issues and vault releases. I'm interested in the Led Zeppelin documentary, but I will wait for a home video release.

[@leelitif7187]

any led zeppelin release is perfect with me film bootlegs books the entire halleys comet

Kinda funny that music from 56 years on is saving current music miluie. Go figure. Music's timeless.

[@chetthebee1322]

You forgot to mention Uriah Heep who had an excellent release in 2023.

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Yes! Good point Chet! Thanx for the mention brother! ❤

[@AnthonyP73]

Not to pour water over this, but other than the Bonzo interview, I don't see this having much appeal. It's the same story we've heard umpteen times before

[@MichaelNoland-TheBottomLine]

Oh I so hope it isn’t just that Anthony! But if wishes were horses, beggars would ride brother! ❤

[@helenespaulding7562]

Well…those who have seen it at festivals etc seem to think it’s pretty damn great. So I really hope you’re wrong. I’m going to be optimistic.

[@MJEvermore853]

It got a standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival, so I hardly think it'll be "the same old story".

[@MarkBarna1]

The only thing I bought that was mentioned here was Mind Game with 1 extra outtake CD. Mind Games is not a great album, but it has about four songs I really like. It is worth it. As for the crap pushed on us by Yoko and Sean, it can be ignored, and the fact that Lennon's voice is higher in the mix and overall the record sounds fuller with more bass are major pluses. I did not know about Band on the Run re-release, but I got the former rerelease years ago and feel good with that. While I like many of the songs, and also like my version that adds Helen Wheels and Country Dreamer, I feel like there are also misses on the record -- which is typical of McCartney's solo career. And Paul's drum sound is not too inspiring.

[@stampede4107]

Didn’t Beatles release a new song this year and the stones released a new album? Not that either was that good…
