The epitome of the rock concert, the epitome of the musical film at its finest. Whitehead wanted to capture the Most Important Rock Group of the Moment in the most sober manner possible. The documentary captures Led Zep at the Royal Albert Hall on January 9th, 1970, without artificial sweeteners or colorants. Almost devoid of credits, without interviews, without effects, without slow motion cameras, without extras nor patches nor coloured lights. Just rock and image, and Led Zeppelin as God brought them into the world. Almost 2 hours of them, in a pantagruel-esque feast that at times appears excessive like the 13-minute drum solo that Bonham emits at one given moment. But there would have been no other way to get hold of Led Zeppelin, the band that invented the super-group of Rock stadiums, which is larger than life, and unshaven. The result is pure electricity, visual and aural and a blues-rock festival of sinful hits which will take any fan's breath away: "We're Gonna Groove", "I Can't Quit You Baby", 15 minutes of the exhaustive "Dazed and Confused", "Whole Lotta Love", "Communication Breakdown", the medley by Eddie Cochran "C'mon Everybody" / "Something Else". An orgy of images and craggy rock.
