Search - Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day - The Inside Story on DVD

Disappointing

"The product consists of a book and two DVDs. The book contains some interesting factual information and some great photos of the guys in the band. The DVDs, however, leave a lot to be desired. The greatest portion of the DVDs is devoted to interviews with unknown eccentric individuals only peripherally associated with Led Zeppelin. The opinions of these people do not provide new information or insight about the band and the music. The one exception is the guitar player from a Led Zeppelin cover band who sits down with an electric guitar and explains how Jimmy Page plays some of his riffs. There are a few interviews with members of the band, many of which are older radio interviews. Some are hard to hear and have subtitles. The interviews overlay still photos and occasional short bits of video footage of the band. As the DVDs roll on, the viewer sees the same stills and video bits repeated over and over again, ad nauseum. There are exerpts of Led Zeppelin songs in the background, but no extensive concert footage. Overall, this boils down to a lame documentary of Led Zeppelin."
