LED ZEPPELIN Launch YouTube Channel

Timesonline.co.uk is reporting:
While Viacom’s $1 billion copyright-infringment case against YouTube rages on, others continue to take the BBC’s lead and simply create their own mini-branded “channel” within the video-sharing site.
A bunch of 1970s legends who have taken the “if you can’t beat ’em...” approach is LED ZEPPELIN - rather ironically, given the band’s hostility to bootleggers back in the day. Zep’s channel (here) serves up a once-inconceivable treasure trove of free concert footage, organised by career periods. The scratchy Super8 snatches of, for example, a 1971 concert in Houston or the 1973 Kezar Stadium SF gig, pan across the arriving crowds before offering audience-eye views of Zep in full flight - great vérité snaphots of the period and, for Zepheads, rarities from heaven.
