Le 13 Novembre 2007, enfin du nouveau sur la planète Led Zep.
Rhino et Atlantic sortent une compilation de 24 morceaux remasterisés, et le concert intégral au Madison Square Garden en 1973, en version DVD (et HDVD et BlueRay ???).
4 ans déjà depuis la sortie du magnifique DVD et du triple CD live. Ca commence à faire !
Depuis quelques mois la rumeur (encore elle) commence a grandir : une réunion à 3 avec quelques concerts, Jimmy travaille sur un album solo, Rhino paufine une version complète de TSRTS (The Song Remains The Same) ...
Dans le tas, au moins une est vérifiée : du nouveau matériel de Led Zeppelin va enfin être mis à disposition de tous les fans.
Ca fait un bout de temps qu'on attendait une nouvelle version DVD de TSRTS. En effet, la sortie du film en 1976 avait laissé pas mal de fans sur leur faim. Le film proposait certes bons nombres de morceaux joués lors des trois soirs au Madison Square Garden (27, 28 et 29 juillet 1973 : je vous renvoie à l'excellente étude par Eddie Edwards pour tous les détails), entrecoupés de séquences fantaisistes censées illustrer la personnalité de chacun des membres du groupe.
Mais ce qu'on attendait depuis longtemps, c'était une vidéo complète d'une d'une des soirées de New York.
D'après les premiers détails, on devrait être servis. Il ne manque que Thank You à l'appel. Espérons que Since I've Been Loving You sera la même version que celle présente sur la vidéo originale, et que No Quarter sera complète.
En bonus, une interview exclusive (hum hum ) de Plant et Grant, et un extrait du radio show de Cameron Crow.
Le même jour (le 13 Novembre 2007) sortira une compilation audio de 24 titres. Rien de neuf, peut-être un nouveau remaster, mais la démarche est tout de même purement commerciale.
Le tout sera décliné en plusieurs versions collectors (dont une avec un t-shirt).
Comprehensive Two-CD Led Zeppelin Collection Features Twenty-Four Remastered Studio Tracks; The Very Best of Led Zeppelin Available in Multiple Configurations; Remixed and Remastered Deluxe Reissue of "The Song Remains The Same" Soundtrack Includes Previously Unreleased Tracks; "The Song Remains The Same" Landmark Concert DVD in Limited Edition, HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc From Warner Home Video.
Available November 13 and November 20.
(Jul 27, 2007) -- After nearly forty years, Led Zeppelin continues to inspire generations with their groundbreaking blues-infused, guitar-driven rock 'n' roll. Arguably the biggest rock band in the world throughout their 12-year reign, they remain one of the most influential and innovative groups in music history. With over 200 million albums sold worldwide, their catalog is one of the most enduring bodies of musical composition to come out of the 20th century.
Available November 13, Atlantic Records/Rhino Entertainment will honor the Rock & Rock Hall of Famers with the release of "Mothership," a 24-track, two-CD comprehensive collection that spans their illustrious career. All eight of the band's classic studio albums are represented here, with the tracks being personally selected by Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones. "Mothership" includes landmark songs such as "Whole Lotta Love," "Immigrant Song," "Kashmir," "Rock And Roll," "Dazed And Confused," and "Stairway To Heaven." The set will also include new liner notes by famed rock writer David Fricke.
Available at all physical retail outlets and www.ledzeppelin.com, "Mothership" collectible packages will be available in multiple configurations:
- Standard Package - 2-CD set ($19.98 SRP)
- Deluxe Edition - 2-CD/ 1-DVD featuring the premiere-version (90 minutes) of live performance footage culled from the "Led Zeppelin DVD" ($24.98 SRP)
- Collector's Edition - 2-CD/1-DVD ultra-deluxe, collectible limited edition ($TBA)
- Vinyl Edition - 4 LPs, high-end, audiophile quality vinyl with collectible memorabilia ($74.98 SRP)
Originally released in 1976, "The Song Remains The Same" soundtrack album of the concert film features songs from the band's three-night stint at Madison Square Garden in July 1973. On November 20, "The Song Remains The Same" soundtrack gets the deluxe reissue treatment, with the band members overseeing the remixing and remastering of the original release. The new version of the soundtrack includes six songs that were not on the original release -- "Black Dog," "Over The Hills And Far Away," "Misty Mountain Hop," "Since I've Been Loving You," "The Ocean," and "Heartbreaker," plus new liner notes by Academy Award®-winning director Cameron Crowe ("Almost Famous").
Slated for a simultaneous release, Warner Home Video debuts brand-new DVD editions of "The Song Remains The Same," now for the first time with all 14 songs from the original concert. The DVD features newly remixed and remastered sound, 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound, and boasts more than 40 minutes of added bonus material*, including never-before-released performance footage of "Over The Hills And Far Away" and "Celebration Day"; plus performances of "Misty Mountain Hop" and "The Ocean"; a rare 1976 BBC interview with Robert Plant and Peter Grant; vintage TV footage from the Drake Hotel robbery during the New York concert stand; and a Cameron Crowe radio show. The discs will be available as follows :
- Deluxe Edition DVD - ($19.97 SRP*)
- Deluxe Edition HD DVD and Blu-ray - ($28.99 SRP each*)
- Limited Collector's Edition - 2-disc set includes collectible vintage T-shirt with original album artwork design, soundtrack CD, lobby cards, reproductions of original premiere invites, tour schedule, and more ($TBA*)
"We have revisited The Song Remains The Same", says Jimmy Page, "and can now offer the complete set as played at Madison Square Garden. This differs substantially from the original soundtrack released in 1976, and highlights the technical prowess of Kevin Shirley, who worked with us on How The West Was Won. When it comes to The Song Remains The Same, the expansion of the DVD and soundtrack are as good as it gets on the Led Zeppelin wish list."
