I've been watching Led Zep's classic over the weekend. Haven't seen it in decades and really enjoyed. It's the the two disc version on DVD. Does anyone know what the opening track on dics 2 is. It's the one that repeats until something is selected from the menu.

Haven't got the two disc set, but what's the opening line of the song, or is it an instrumental?

Haven't got this, but could it be 'No quarter'?

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. The Garden Tapes does indeed explain all. It seems the menus on on both discs contain previously unreleased live clips.

The bit I was referring to seems to be a clip from their second night at Madison Square Garden which does not appear in the film or on the album. It seems to be a riff played during Whole Lotta Love. The Garden Tapes describes it as

" the riffy section between the funk and the theremin".

It's a good riff that not surprisingly, I've never knowingly heard before. I must check out a video of their get together for the Atlantic celebrations in the late 80s and also the O2 DVD. It doesn't appear on the 2003 DVD.

I wonder if they played it at Live Aid in '85. I don't have a video of this sadly. All I can remember is they open with Rock 'n' Roll. I thought their set was exiting and full of energy but they were none too pleased with Phil Collins' drumming apparently. I believe they took out an injunction or something similar to prevent it ever being broadcast again.

Forty years after the Madison Square Garden gigs their enigma continues!

It must have been nice to see that lovely house. I wonder if the current owner is a Zep fan. The scenes from the film have a charm that only films of a certain age seem to have. Very enjoyable.

I think your friend's band Led Into Zeppelin are very talented. I'm sure you know that already. Loads of people can learn to play the guitar - even I did to a fashion but not many singers actually sound like Robert Plant. I suppose it's something you either have or don't. Do they ever trek down to South Wales for gigs?

Sadly, I couldn't get into the web site for Boot Led Zeppelin. I'll try again when I have a chance.
