Becoming Led Zeppelin

[Einzeln]

Just watched the Netflix documentary Becoming Led Zeppelin. Somehow I was never a huge fan but man that audiomix made me watch this with a big smile and a feeling of being right on the stage. I would love to have seen this in movietheater.

Agreed! It is a fantastic documentary. It is one of my favorites.

Thanks for calling this out! My daughter unknowingly reactivated our Netflix subscription the other day by logging in. Which means I’ll figure out a few things to watch over the next month. Definitely checking this out, I kind of forgot about it. I was big into Zeppelin in high school.

I thought it was great! I would like to see a series of that type of movie dedicated to the band's whole timeline.

I saw the documentary and thought it was pretty good. They put out a Live DVD in the early/mid 2000's that was easy to miss. It's good too.

I used to borrow a projector from work for the weekend, hook it up to the stereo, and make it as big as I could on a blank wall. Song Remains The Same and the Live DVD are both kick ass to watch this way.

Yeah, I'm hoping they follow up with another that covers where this one left off.

Hell yeah. It reignited my love for them. Listening to it on my home theater setup was the way to go. Sounded great

I just finished watching it. Just incredible. I didn’t realize the Tele was used as much as it was. I thought it was all Les Paul after the yard birds. Apparently the green pants were pages rock and roll pants.

Agreed, it was such a cool documentary. I watched it on a flight back home from NY over the summer and would love to see a follow-up someday (although I doubt that will happen).

It was wild seeing how involved some of them were in the music scene prior to Zep forming. I knew Page was pretty active but didn't realize how much John Paul Jones toured around prior to the group forming as well. I also knew that Zeppelin 1 was pretty heavily influenced by American blues stuff (and some might say ripped from), but it's crazy that they essentially just formed a jam/blues cover band and recorded Zeppelin 1 around that.
