 DVD Times - Led Zeppelin
The final footage available, from Led Zeppelin's 1979 concerts at Knebworth, are of a band with not a lot left to prove and they look relaxed on-stage without any of the extravagant showmanship of earlier years.
During the time the band was in existence, Led Zeppelin were rather more keen on spreading the word via albums and concerts that singles or television shows and Page has admitted that not only is there very little footage ever having been recorded but what there is here was difficult to obtain.
This DVD was simultaneously released with a 3xCD live album compiled from new material, which answered the one complaint Led Zeppelin had regarding their back catalogue - a good live album.

 Led Zeppelin DVD review
The DVD on the other hand, is an astounding collection of live performances that spans from when they buried their moniker as The New Yardbirds and took flight under the name Led Zeppelin in 1969 to one of their last, and most infamous, concerts at England's Knebworth Festival in 1979.
For fans of Led Zeppelin, this collection - one that visually traces the path of mere mortals to that of mythological deities - is a cause for celebration.
On the strength of their second album Led Zeppelin II the band tore through early favorites "Whole Lotta Love," "What Is and What Should Never Be," and "Bring It On Home," which showcased Plant as a worthy blues harpist.

 Articles - Led Zeppelin
Onstage, Led Zeppelin concerts could last more than three hours; expanded, improvised live versions of their song repertoire often incorporated tight workouts of James Brown, Stax, and Motown-influenced soul music and funk (favorites of bassist Jones and drummer Bonham).
Zeppelin traveled in a private jet (nicknamed "The Starship"), rented out entire sections of hotels, and became the subjects of many of rock's most famous stories of debauchery: trashed hotel rooms (TVs out the window, motorcycling in the halls), sexual escapades (some of which involved animals), and heavy use of drugs and alcohol.
Led Zeppelin was a British rock band that became one of the most popular and influential rock groups of all time.

 Blogcritics.org: Led Zeppelin DVD Review
Led Zeppelin DVD is a mammoth package featuring over five hours of material on two disks.
I was resigned to the probability that this video was all we would ever get from Led Zeppelin, until a few years ago when the rumors of the new DVD project started to spread throughout the world.
Lo-and-behold, the Led Zeppelin DVD was finally born, and thankfully it has exceeded most of our expectations.

 Team Photoshop Forum - Led Zeppelin DVD!!!
As a way of revisiting their history, one I've followed since "before they wuz Led", this package looks to be a great one.
It was a pain in the ass for them to make, because as a band, they wanted people who came to their concerts to really have a unique experience and thus shunned cameras, recordings, and the media from their performances.
The idea for the DVD was to relive the concert experiences, both for those who are nostalgic fans and those who weren't around the first time to experience it (me included :D)

 DVD-Audio Review: Led Zeppelin - ‘How The West Was Won’
As I say, it’s not bad, by any manner of means and it brings home the often repeated axiom that Led Zeppelin were so good that rudimentary chrome tapes of their concerts, taken from a microphone tied to a broomstick held aloft at a live concert were worthy of a listen.
Apparently Led Zeppelin were the most bootlegged band of all time, with some 384 ‘official’ ones you can actually buy — in some safety now that the irascible Zeppelin Manager Peter Grant has gone to his grave, for he was ever given to thwacking people found to be in possession of a Zeppelin scam-disc.
Zeppelin flourished through relentless flamboyant touring and naturally sharpened their act to the levels of a majestic, unassailable quality.

 U-WIRE.com/DVD REVIEW: New box set proves Led Zeppelin lives on
No Led Zeppelin set would be complete without the song by which all other hard rock songs are measured: "Stairway to Heaven." The song translates perfectly from the studio version; the acoustic parts performed on Page's 12-string echo clearly and hauntingly, making for a totally hypnotizing listen.
The three-disc set of "How the West Was Won" a spin-off audio release is comprised of material from those concerts, and serves as a reminder of why the mighty Zeppelin was untouchable in its arena-rocking heyday.
The disc moves from the sounds of an eager L.A. crowd, to the point where Led Zeppelin launches into a spirited version of "Immigrant Song," from the band's self-titled album.

 Community Forum - Led Zeppelin - 2 DVD box set.
One thing that is surprising about Led Zeppelin's concerts is that they performed them without any special effects and theatrics like fireworks and light shows and all that other razzle dazzle.
Zeppelin was just starting out in 1969 and their first album had just been released.
For the Zeppelin lovers out there, this set of DVDs is well worth the price of admission (about 20 bucks at Walmart).

After those concerts the band's name was changed to Led Zeppelin after Keith Moon, drummer with The Who, suggested they would "go over like a lead balloon".
The album jumped to the top of the charts and Led Zeppelin, with their heavy, free-form, psychedelic style of rock and mystic lyrics, began their ascent to god-like status.
When Led Zeppelin 1 came out on January 12,1969, it only took two months for it to catch on like wildfire.

 DVD Times - The Who: The Kids Are Alright
Yet, in as much as the story of Led Zeppelin ended with the death of their drummer, John Bonham, so The Kids Are Alright ends with the disappointment at seeing Keith Moon age and, although it is not captured in the film, his death two weeks before its premiere.
The quality of the image is terrific and although it is a vast improvement on the quality of the VHS release and that of recent cinema screenings, The Kids Are Alright is never quite as flawless as a number of other recent music releases, the Led Zeppelin set included.
As Tommy ended the album freed from his obligations as a saviour so that album gave The Who the opportunity to indulge in further concept albums and rock operas, head-staggeringly loud concerts and great rock music.
