specialk Posted December 28, 2024 Posted December 28, 2024 I hope it's done well. Anyone hear about it yet? 8 Quote
hamerhead Posted December 28, 2024 Posted December 28, 2024 Hadn't heard about it but yeah, hope it doesn't suck. The trailer looks great and the fact that it's an 'authorized' doc (no muzak soundtrack) holds promise. 3 Quote
cmatthes Posted December 30, 2024 Posted December 30, 2024 I almost bought tickets for a February showing last week, but am trying to line up the schedule just right. I'll definitely be going, preferably to the IMAX version... 2 Quote
Disturber Posted December 30, 2024 Posted December 30, 2024 I hate Led Zepelinlin. Damn copies of the real thing. 1 5 1 1 Quote
hamerhead Posted February 7 Posted February 7 (edited) ETA: NO SPOILERS! Just got back from the theater - if you have even a passing interest in Led Zeppelin, GO SEE IT! It has a very 'feel good' vibe to it, the sound/mix is great (at the IMAX. The thunder in Bonham's foot.....), and it covers a lot of ground up through Led Zeppelin II. It is well paced and seems short for a 2 1/4 hour documentary. My wife, who is not really a huge fan or anything, said she could have watched for a couple more hours (that's really saying something!). I hope they do a 'Part II', covering the rest of the catalog. I'd go in a heartbeat. Go see it! 👍👍 Edited February 7 by hamerhead 3 4 Quote
Disturber Posted February 7 Posted February 7 i have tickets for this coming Sunday afternoon. Bringing my 15 and 17 year olds. This will be a lesson for them. 3 1 Quote
LucSulla Posted February 7 Posted February 7 The psychologist and I will be going to see this tomorrow as well. I was able to talk her into sitting through a Zep documentary in exchange for hitting a good Moroccan restaurant near the theater in Memphis. 2 2 Quote

LucSulla Posted February 9 Posted February 9 I thought it was really good. Better yet, the GF, who isn't a Zeppelin fan at all, really enjoyed it as well. I think that speaks well for it working even if you aren't a Zeppelin nut. Anyone who appreciates musicianship, a good story, and a good tune will dig it I think. She was still asking me questions about this and that this morning, which I thought was pretty cool. There wasn't anything about drugs or groupies really, and you could tell all three guys were genuinely emotional as they looked back on that period. The "Whole Lotta Love" sequence made it worth seeing in an IMAX. It was some very much needed escapism for a couple of hours and way better than a comic book movie. I love the time period they focused on because, by avoiding the later debauchery and tragedy, they could honestly focus on the story of four really talented kids who worked really hard on something they believed in and created something special. We also agreed that, as hot as Robert Plant was, Zeppelin I and II area Jimmy Page was an impressively dreamy guy. I also got a pretty passionate argument that I was completely underrating the chiseled jaw and full lips of a young John Paul Jones. The conversations you get into on the way home when the IMAX is 75 minutes away. You kind of have to laugh. All these years later, dudes want to be them, and chicks want to be with them, lol. At least 1969 them. 5 1 1 Quote

A relatively short lived movie experience, it was the cutting edge technology of its time. https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/BA51AC37-2ECD-4141-8D32-B9C5472CBEB6 Quote
Disturber Posted February 11 Posted February 11 This movie does not need IMAX. It does however need a mean ass sound system. The room needs to be shaking from the music. It is a really great movie. My kids loved it and the oldest went straight for my Zep vinyl collection when we got back home. We had 1st row tickets in a smallish movie theatre. It was loud and it was intense. 8 Quote
hamerhead Posted February 11 Posted February 11 The IMAX here has better sound than the regular theaters, at least when the jackass in the booth doesn't have it cranked to the point of cones exiting baskets. This time it was loud and clear without being overbearing. 3 Quote

Not a lot of albums from 1969, remixes and remasters included, still smack you in the face like that one does. 5 2 1 Quote

YouTube had a thing about the 'hot mix' version that got pulled from the shelves. Turns out, that's what mine is. 4 Quote

And yeah, I realize you don't show up for an interview in leather and shades if you don't have a bit of an ego, but there is a genuine, fan-like love what they did that I like. 3 Quote
