Edgar H (4/5) DVD / 3 View   Knebworth Festival 1979 (unknown label) 3 DVDR, NTSC
Notes: Jules McTrainspotter August 04: From the very start of disc 1 you know that this is going to be an exceptional release. The second Knebworth video has been doing the rounds for a while now, and previously Cosmic Energy did a splendid job with their Second Night In The Park. However this new release, by an unknown/unnamed label, sets a new standard for both the quality of the video and the soundtrack. I am informed by a very reliable and qualified source that this looks like a second generation video source. There is more video footage as the MC announces the band, as the camera zooms in to the stage the picture quality is much improved and sharper. The clarity, sharpness and cleaness of the picture and the colour is much improved, and the soundtrack is powerful and prominent. A good test of picture quality is how well you can see all the strings on Jimmy's guitar. Here, on the opening song (The Song Remains The Same), Jimmy plays the Gibson double neck, and you can count every one of the 12 strings, and the 6 strings below as well. Another very good example of the exceptional quality of this release is during In The Evening on disc 3, the close-ups of Robert's face are perfect quality, as is the picture quality of Jimmy's guitar. This release has been spread over three DVDRs, to ensure the highest quality transfer to disc. Burning a DVDR this way produces 60 minutes running time, as opposed to a slightly lesser quality transfer of 2 hours. Clearly a great deal of trouble has been taken in ensuring sourcing the best quality video, and the transfer to DVDR. Unfortunately there are no bells and whistles on this release regarding an opening menu, song title index, etc. This is a minor gripe, but if each of the discs had this then it would have made this release even better. The packaging is nice too. It comes in a fatboy jewel case, nice artwork front and back, and the discs are printed with black and white photos taken at the two concerts. All in all this is now the definitive release of the complete concert, and well worth seeking out. Highly recommended. Following a second watching of this superb quality release, I can only reiterate my comments and say that this is the finest quality unofficial DVD release of Led Zeppelin ever. At times you think that you are watching the official complete concert release. Probably one of the all time great Led Zeppelin official or unofficial releases. The Knebworth concerts have often been criticised (by critics and reviewers and 'armchair experts'), but this second Knebworth concert remains an extremely important and highly emotional one, being the last time the group ever played on home soil.
