Worthy documentary for longstanding fans as well as the uninitiated about Led Zeppelin
After watching on Sky this weekend, this is my review of Episode 1 which is a track by track account of the 1st album after explaining how Led Zeppelin was established and where the individual members came from.
Page and Jones experience of session work gave them practice and exposure to multiple forms of musical expression that enabled the song-writing and arrangements to stand out as more diverse than produced by other contemporary bands. Led Zeppelin were more than just 'the new Cream'.
The album was recorded live in the studio with no overdubbing in about 30 hours. This was after weeks of touring the songs and honing them in live performance of which there is a decent amount of film footage from small concert venues around Europe.
There are useful demos and explanations of Page's guitar parts. While most of the commentators were unknown to me, they provided useful context for each of the tracks on the 'Led Zeppelin' album, including its artwork
There are audio contributions from all band members, some of which though are hard to hear and the subtitles too small to read with all the song credit data that clutters the screen
A promising start to the series and I look forward to episode 2 now.
