the audio complete set is around $90. the fancy box set is around $50, but it is missing some songs

[PageandPlant4Life]

hard to believe something worth watching actually came on mtv

[ZoSoRecords]

MTV was actually good to watch up until mid to late 90s, then it went to hell

People say Zep stole the blues from the old black men, and their country from the folk men....You know what?If they stole blues then so did The Who, so did ZZ Top, so did Thin Lizzy.

Fuck that! Led Zeppelin came with all those riffs, with all those lyrics, and alll those god damn grooves! They didn't stole no shit from damn blues men, or country old dude motherfucker!

Led Zeppelin is Led Zeppelin, and the definition to "perfection" is called Led Zeppelin,

LED FUCKING ZEPPELIN!

@termsofusepolice Get the bootleg "Listen to this Eddie" of them in the LA Forum in 1977. He sure don't suck there.

[termsofusepolice]

Page was a studio wizard... But live, man, he could suck some serious balls... I guarantee you that if you went to see a bar band, and their guitarist played a Zep song as sloppy as Page did at a lot of Zep shows, that bar band guitarist would be booed and called a hack by folks in the bar.

@hazel10987 I think it was summer or fall 1991 because I videotaped it off the original

broadcast on MTV Rockumentary. (I may still have it. Have to check...)

[bpasphalt]

@hazel10987 it was released in 1990 along with the box set; I'll never forget it because, like millions of other fans, I was hoping for a reunion/tour.

You can't see it on the video here, but in higher def clips you see that Jimmy's black shirt has a skull embroidered very subtly in the fabric. Which is classic. I'm a Zep fanatic, and I should probably say something more substantial than that, but I just thought I'd mention it. I used to watch this MTV special all the time and loved it. A favorite moment was when Jimmy mocked the critics, saying how what he was doing went right over their heads. Check my channel for good raw blues, btw...

[hayzeephantayzee]

I've seen this in 1990 on MTV. When the Remasters Box came out it was the first time after the split that something Zep got released. There's always been tons of compilations and live stuff from other bands but next to nothing from them. The fact that this was broadcast a long ten years after the split but it's 20 years gone from now dazzles me. And JPJones at 4'20" still cracks me up.
