LiveAid dvd. SSSSUCKS!

[fezident]

<p>I ask you, how could a dvd set that is FOUR DISCS long...a set that clocks in at OVER THIRTY HOURS LONG</p><p><font size="5">NOT CONTAIN THE LED ZEPPLIN REUNION?!?</font></p><p><font size="1">Besides Queen, wasn't Led Zep the &quot;big deal&quot; that day!?!&nbsp; Sure...they sucked.&nbsp; Plant can't hit ANY notes and Phil Collins didn't really know the songs but, C'MON!!&nbsp; They aren't on the dvds and they aren't mentioned in the booklet. RIP OFF.&nbsp;</font></p><p><font size="1">The Power Station was there that day and they also were not included.&nbsp; Tony Thompson (who also played with Zep that same afternoon) really got the shaft on this box set.&nbsp; Unlike Led Zep, Power Station ARE listed on the box so....I&nbsp;need to have a little&nbsp;talk&nbsp;with the lush that slapped this thing together.</font></p><p><font size="1" /></p><p><font size="1">I wanna take these dvds and throw them in Bob Geldofs tired face. </font></p>

<p>Somewhere back home I have the original VHS recording of the Zep performance.&nbsp; I can't believe it was already 20 years ago.&nbsp; Christ, I'm getting old.</p><p>As sick as I am of the song, &quot;Stairway&quot; sounded best that day.</p>

Nobody even mentions Led Zep whenever I see Live Aid talked about on TV...so they must have sucked more musical cock than usual that day and REALLY blew.&nbsp; Probably best forgotten.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't an intentional slight of Zeppelin.&nbsp;&nbsp; I believe it was some kind of rights issue -- Zeppelin didn't give them rights to use the performance.&nbsp; When live Aid was organized, there were no plans to release the concert on video.&nbsp; Therefore, in order to release the DVDs, I beleive they had to negotiatiate with each artist to allow the performances to be released.

<p>I read the booklet that comes with the DVDs and they do mention that much of the JFK stadium footage was &quot;not recorded and archived&quot; at Bob Geldofs request.&nbsp; (copyrights, clearances, rebroadcast issues...yada yada yoda)</p><p>My main gripe is that, there is no way to know this BEFORE the purchase. (obviously the booklet is on the inside of the box).&nbsp; My point is...the&nbsp;box set&nbsp;is very long and very expensive and there is no reason to just ASSUME that one of the biggest acts of the entire event would not be included.&nbsp; The whole thing just smells bad.</p><p>So...I downloaded the entire performance.&nbsp; I can not exaggerate how hilariously bad LedZep was that day.&nbsp; I only wanted the performance because Tony Thompson is a bad muthaf'cker on the drums and I wanted to see him play those songs.&nbsp; But, even HE could not salvage this suckfest.&nbsp; Memo to Robert Plant: YOU CAN'T SING.&nbsp; Memo to Jimmy Page: YOU'RE SLOPPY...AND TURN OFF THAT SUCKY FLANGER PEDAL.</p>

<p>Somewhere I may still have videos I taped off tv that day.&nbsp; I'll have to look.</p><p>&nbsp;And
Queen is considered the definitive performance of Live Aid.&nbsp; To
see all those people clapping during Radio Gaga is still pretty amazing.<br />

Thanks Monsterone!!

<p>It's worth mentioning that you can CLEARLY hear Elton John snort two lines of blow after he walks off stage.&nbsp; I guess he was still holding his live microphone with his &quot;plate hand&quot; and a straw in the other.&nbsp; Brian May (who was onstage playing a soft acoustic guitar intro at that time) looks off to stage right and makes a &quot;are you f'cking kidding me?!?&quot; face.&nbsp; </p><p>Ahh, the wonders of dvd.</p><p>(PS: Fenix, you disabled the R&amp;F&nbsp;private messaging so....A friend downloaded the Zep performance a while back and he doesn't remember which service he used.&nbsp; The file size is over 200mb and the mpeg quality is pretty poor.&nbsp; Not as&nbsp;poor as the acutal <em>performance </em>but, still...pretty bad.
