[size=1]The CD was released May 27th here I believe, and is three CDs long. Each CD is about 50 minutes in length. If you haven't heard about this CD, it's a proper live album for the band. And if you haven't even heard of Led Zeppelin, then I don't know you.

I would like to properly review each track, but I don't have time; and I might not be able to review them and post it up on here, either (going to my cabin today), but I'd like it if some of you'd post what you think.

Overall I'd say this is must-own for anyone who likes Zeppelin at all, or for anyone who has a taste in classic rock.

The first CD starts out great. From [i]Immigrant Song[/i], to [i]Black Dog[/i], to the entirely awe-inspiring [i]Stairway To Heaven[/i], to [i]Going To California[/i], [i]That's The Way[/i],and ending with the wonderful and beat-thumping [i]Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp [/i],I'd say this is my favorite CD of the three.

The second CD is a lot more jumpy. It starts out with a 25+ minute [i]Dazed And Confused[/i]. At first, this song is fine, but later on I'm mixed. About ten minutes of it is pretty much a guitar solo made with chicken scratch in parts; perhaps I just need to listen to it more, but otherwise, it's kind of trippy, for me at least. Considering what was on the first CD. The CD then gets better with [i]What Is And What Should Never Be[/i] as perhaps its high point, but then later goes on with [i]Moby Dick[/i].

[i]Moby Dick[/i] is a 19-something minute drums and percussion solo by John Bonham (he's their drummer that o'ded, if I'm thinking right). At first, this thing is great, but the sounds of the drums doesn't have much change or anything, so this is also trippy. It's not that bad I'd say, but it does get old fast.

But, it does change eventually, and also near the end, some guitar riffs are played, but seriously, it's kind of long for what it's trying to say, at least to me. But considering John Bonham, this is still okay. Just a little over-bearing at first.

I'd say I least like the second CD.

The third CD starts out with a 20+ minute [i]Whole Lotta Love[/i], which is great. I've only listened to it once, but it's very well done, and makes the beginning of this CD wonderful. And I can't remember what else was on the third CD (it's early lol), and I'm out of time anyways. I'll try to do a proper review of each CD and each song when I get the chance.[/size]

yes, i also love Led Zeppelin, who doesnt? well ive heard most of the songs on that cd. im waiting to get the new dvd. it has the live performance of the songs on the cd!!! my favorite song is the twenty five minute Dazed and Confused. its so spooky and mysterious. i also like Moby Dick. the drum solo was the best. it sounds the same sometimes, but the solo is so awesome you just forget about it.

Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on this somehow. Maybe I can convince my mom (who is a huge Zeplin fan) to buy it and I can kind of mooch off of her. But I doubt she'll buy it, she says she has already spent enough money on Zeplin crap.
