Vintage LED ZEPPELIN Footage Surfaces On YouTube
May 2, 2008, 16 years ago
Lemonsqueezings.blogspot.com has posted the following fascinating report and commentary:
Some vintage live LED ZEPPELIN performances are being uploaded to Youtube these days with the approval of the band. The LedZeppelin Youtube channel is officially sanctioned by the group, so some video and audio clips are now seeing their official release exclusively online.
The channel has some clips from their previous official releases. Who could forget this excerpt of the powerful 'I Can't Quit You Baby' from the Royal Albert Hall in 1970?
...or this funky version of 'The Ocean' performed at Madison Square Garden in 1973?
...or the classic and penultimate take on 'Kashmir' from the Knebworth 1979 shows?
But what's especially interesting to see are some of the videos added over the past couple of weeks whose release the band had heretofore withheld authorizing. Chris Welch took some 8mm footage of the group on tour in West Germany in July 1970. Now these clips have been edited together and come to life with the soundtrack of 'Celebration Day' supplied for effect.
