Ok. Fair enough.
Imho, the best Earls Court show is the May 18th show. Robert's a bit rough, but Jimmy and the rest of the band are on fire and the main audience recording sounds terrific. This version is my personal go to for it.
RAH I Can't Quit You Baby right around 2:48 has a sweet side shot of the boys where they're only illuminated by spotlights. Unfortunately the cameraman didn't think to pan over to Bonzo, but you could probably fill in the blanks there. Add in that "air drums over the head" business that Plant does sometimes.
Also I can't find it but there's a shot of them playing in Chicago in '75 where Page is playing with a bow. But the way he's holding it up isn't like a triumphant or legendary thing, it almost feels like he held it up because someone screamed "Is he playing with a bow?" It just feels kinda funny to me.
EDIT: Found it
I believe the book they released a little over a year ago has it. I have the book at home and can double check. The book is for sale at amazon, https://www.amazon.com/Led-Zeppelin/dp/1909526509

Here is a very informative and helpful video lesson covering the whole song, solo included. It's how I finally got the solo down.

It was a tame impala kontakt sample library from this guy but he discontinued that but he just released zeppelin drums so I imagine that would get you pretty close.
My very first Zep record was D'yer Ma'ker/The Crunge on 45rpm vinyl. This was from a yard sale when I was maybe ten years old. And this was before I was aware of the Zeppelin legend in any way shape or form. Think of D'yer Mak'er/The Crunge being the only reference you have for this thing called Led Zeppelin. And despite that, I still like both songs.
If you want meticulously researched Zeppelin books, look for anything written by Dave Lewis. I have pretty much every Zep book out there and find Lewis’ stuff to be extremely detailed ... one of my faves is the concert file book that digs deep into most every Zep show, even down to the clothing worn and drawn layout of the Starship

I think my US copy of it has it too. Even if it doesn't, it's worth the read: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0312590393/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_482bGb4M7J522
(Sorry for the Amazon link but it seems like the most universal option haha)
I just got this book and am a quarter of the way in. It is awesome! A lot of background knowledge on every song, laid out by album. Even highlights songs that were recorded but never got released. Lots of cool pictures too.

Of you’re so inclined, check out the Barney Hoskyns book “Led Zeppelin; the oral history of the worlds greatest rock band”. I’ve read just about every Zep book and this one really is the best IMO. It’s their story told entirely through quotes from people who were around at the time. What makes it great is there are a lot of really obscure quotes and characters that aren’t regularly mentioned.

Hi sorry for another message, I just uploaded a two day concert, 6 cd's called "Throwing The Wild Seeds" Anyhoo, here is the link you will notice there are like two Black Dogs, two Rock N Roll's etc, its because it was two shows in a row. Enjoy :) I hope it works I am new to mediafire LOL Steven
Looks like i was $60 since launch up until 2 weeks ago.
Here ya go! LedZep Flag
LZ-75 is really good. It only focuses on the 1975 tour and is written almost as a diary by a music journalist who got to join them on tour. I think it mentions Page and his black magic, it mentions a lot about the drink and the drugs and tells some interesting stories (one includes a red snapper fish) and it also delves into the world surrounding Peter Grant as well.
Really interesting read.
I am almost all the way through thisbook. It’s not about the band as much as it is about each of their songs. Definitely recommend!
Yes sir. I also used command strips on these for easy mounting.

Edit: here is the poster
Here's a link to cards that I am pretty sure are from the 1990s. Actually, after my original post I went to a site which seems to list all trading cards, sports and otherwise, of the 1970s and 1980s and there are none I saw based on LZ

I just read the book that comes with Chris Welch's "Led Zeppelin: The Ultimate Collection." It's not too bad, but not particularly interesting. Very obvious things are presented as revelations and some of the numbers and dates are wrong too. It comes with some awesome posters and memorabilia though, so check it out for that if you're interested! It also comes off as very biased towards the band so a lot of the "unsavoury" stuff is left out. Difficult to find a good documentation of the band's story that isn't riddled with personal opinion, though.
One that I've been meaning to get my hands on for ages is Dave Lewis' "Led Zeppelin: The Complete Guide to their music)" It seems well-researched and insightful, but I haven't read it myself so I don't know for sure. If you do end up reading this one, an update on whether it's worth it would be great! :)
Here's the link to the UK Amazon pre-order page with the full tracklisting too.
You need this!
There are two books in the series, and you can download the backing tracks for about 99p each.
The quality of the backing tracks is insane. Achilles with every single drum fill nailed, Song Remains The Same... it's all good.
