How The West Was Won: Rock And Roll Done Right

by lambchops, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jun 04 '03
Pros: Absolutely wonderful live performances...
Cons: A few overlong solos...
Rewind to 1995. Grunge was over, kaput. And I was looking for a new infatuation. In a strange twist of fate, I fell in love with classic rockers Led Zeppelin instead of some new band or artist. From that moment on, I have considered myself a...

Zeppelin Blitzkriegs the West

by fuche_bu Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 01 '04
Pros: Rock music doesn't get much better
Cons: should be more music for three discs
Few bands have had the impact on rock music that Led Zeppelinhad. They burst onto the scene in 1969 and almost instantly emerged as a legend. This British quartet only recorded nine albums before breaking up in 1980. Yet their impact is ...

JEFF:...but what it all comes down to is that thing. The Indefinable Thing, when people catch something from your music, the thing you put into it. I'm talking about... what am I talking about?

Led Zeppelin Live & Loud at # 11

by thevoid99 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Sep 06 '03
Pros: A Kick-*ss Live Album from Led Zeppelin.
Cons: There's no 11 Rating for this Album.
During an episode of VH1’s “Behind the Music” on the year 1975, the manager of late soft-rock artist John Denver claimed that music one artist/band defined decades. In the 1940s, it was Frank Sinatra. In the 1950s, it was Elvis Presley. In the 1960s, ...

For once in my career, I’ll be up front and frank with the Epinions community in admitting that I have absolutely no idea where to start right now. I normally have...

Bring It On Home: Led Zeppelin at its Peak

by redsox75 , Oct 30 '03
Pros: Inspired playing, bright up front recording, John Henry Bonham
Cons: Recording may be too pristine for some, "Moby Dick" unnecessary. Very long songs.
Led Zeppelin’s recent live release How the West Was Won set out to correct an oversight. When a car accident limited Robert Plant’s ability to perform in 1975, the group revived a film project that was all but dead. On that aborted 1975 t ...

Pros: 1st, 2nd, 3rd Discs!
Cons: Every disc afterwards

Is 31 years worth the wait? YES!

by excremento , May 27 '03
Pros: New, live Zeppelin from two stellar shows. Amazing performances and great sound.
Cons: Mix can get slightly muddy (obscuring vocals)
Even since Zeppelin's biggest days, Jimmy Page has wanted to release a live retrospective of Zeppelin. "How the West Was Won" is not that Holy Grail, but instead uses two superb shows from California to showcase the band in flight.
