The purpose of this section is to document commercially manufactured dvd titles. There have been notable vhs releases by Toasted, Tarantura, Hercules, and Celebration. However, that material has already made it to dvd in similar or better quality.
My dvd comparisons will be very elementary. Videos often have
far too many faults and variations between other releases for a
detailed comparison to be of any practical use. Basics such as
the camera's film type and size will be noted. Amateur's camera
distance and actual sound will also be noted. Less expensive 8mm
cameras didn't have sound recording capabilites. In many cases,
a soundtrack is added. Sometimes it's synchronized audio from
and audio source of the same show. Other times music is provided
as background music, without attempts at synchronizing.
Dvds are listed in the table below by release date. Their contents are
detailed beneath that, in chronological order of the
performances. Officially offered tracks have been eliminated
even though the prior bootleg releases of those performances
often offer extended views from the same and different
cameras.

Comments: Color film without sound and some additional footage in black and white with limited sound. No concert footage. Shows group boarding plane, on plane, and limousine convoy (en route to Pittsburgh, not NY).
Comparison: Assemblage has both the color and black/white videos. Empress Valley’s Live At Madison Square Garden Working Tapes only has the black/white. The quality is similar between the two titles.
1973, July 27 - Friday
Location: New York City, NY, USA
Video: 8mm (12 minutes)
Comments: Color film without sound, closely shot.

Venue: Madison Square Garden
Video: 16mm (5.5 minutes)
Setlist: Rock and Roll, Sick Again, and Over the Hills and Far Away.
Comments: Color film with actual sound professionally shot from the photographer’s pit.
Comparison: Latter Visions starts out with sampler, then goes on to the full version. The full version seems to be darker than the sampler and Sugar Mama’s small bit. (Sugar Mama only shows 1:40 of Rock and Roll.) The sampler doesn't have an on-screen counter. The full version has a counter, but is blacked out. Empress Valley’s version is less dark than Celebration’s, but the generation quality is similar. Assemblage shows the full version on the first disc, being much lighter than Celebration. Assemblage also has a brief portion of Rock and Roll in perfect quality, filming of the crowd, a brief interview with Peter Grant, and NBC commentary on the second disc.
1975, February 8 - Saturday
Location: Philadelphia, PA, USA
Venue: Spectrum
Video: 8mm (15 minutes)
Setlist: Rock and Roll, Sick Again, Over the Hills and Far Away, and In My Time of Dying.

1975, February 10 - Monday
Location: Landover, MD, USA
Venue: Capitol Centre
Video: 8mm (2 minutes)

Comments: Color film with actual sound. Full height of screen shows band members from waist to head.
1975, March 24 - Monday
Location: Inglewood, California, USA
Venue: Forum
Video: 8mm (18.5 minutes)
Setlist: Rock and Roll, Sick Again, Over the Hills and Far Away, In My Time of Dying, Kashmir, No Quarter, Trampled Underfoot, Moby Dick, Stairway To Heaven, Whole Lotta Love / Crunge / Black Dog, and Heartbreaker.
Comments: Filmed in color with sound. Closely shot with distance ranging from band members’ height making up most of the screen to being seen from hip to head. Well lit and excellent sound but runs fast.
1975, March 25 - Tuesday
Location: Inglewood, California, USA
Venue: Forum
Video: two 8mm (28 minutes & 12 minutes)
Setlist1: Sick Again, Over the Hills and Far Away, In My Time of Dying, The Song Remains the Same, Kashmir, Trampled Underfoot, and Whole Lotta Love.
Setlist2: The Song Remains the Same, The Rain Song, Kashmir, No Quarter, Dazed and Confused, and Stairway To Heaven.
Comments: These were both filmed in color. The first source is the longer one and was filmed with sound. It is very similar to the previous night’s 8mm footage. The second source is not very colorful, without actual sound, and isn’t always in good focus. The footage starts out from close behind the stage, and then the taper travels around back and forth between the left and right front, then back to being behind the stage. The distance ranges during the ride, but is never too distant. Other songs are filmed but aren’t easily determined.
1975, March 27 - Thursday
Location: Inglewood, California, USA
Venue: Forum
Recordings: 8mm (7.5 minutes)
Setlist: Stairway To Heaven and Whole Lotta Love.
Comments: Filmed in color, without sound. Other songs are filmed but aren’t easily determined due to the fragmentary filming.
1975, May 24 - Saturday 8pm
Location: London, England
Venue: Earl’s Court Arena
Video: professional video (220 minutes)
Setlist: Rock and Roll, Sick Again, Over the Hills and Far Away, In My Time of Dying, Song Remains the Same, Rain Song, Kashmir, No Quarter, Tangerine, Going To California (incomplete), That's the Way (incomplete), Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp, Trampled Underfoot, Moby Dick, Dazed and Confused, Stairway To Heaven, and Whole Lotta Love / Black Dog.
Comments: Filmed in color with sound. (A handful of these tracks have been released officially and are represented here.)
Comparison: CDM’s video quality is quite poor and the audio is often out of synchronization. It uses the official release to complete Going To California and That’s the Way. Moby is incomplete. Cashmere’s video quality is a little better but the audio gets out of sync too. It has no trace of Going To California or Moby Dick. Empress Valley’s title is properly synchronized, has the two incomplete songs, has a complete Moby Dick, and has much better video quality. For some unknown reason it is missing 3 minutes of video during Stairway. Bad Wizard’s Going To California cuts to the audience audio tape too early (uses the following night’s video to “complete”). That’s the Way begins with the actual video, not found elsewhere. It uses a highly inferior tape for the 2-3 minute section during Stairway. There’s a lot of tape after Stairway while the band is offstage. Bad Wizard’s video (April 2006 first issue and April 2008 reissue) and audio quality are not quite as good as Empress Valley’s. The video shows signs of compression.
1975, May 25 - Sunday 8pm
Location: London, England
Venue: Earl’s Court Arena
Video: professional video (225 minutes)
Setlist: Rock and Roll, Sick Again, Over the Hills and Far Away, In My Time of Dying, Song Remains the Same, Rain Song, Kashmir, No Quarter, Tangerine, Going To California, That's the Way, Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp, Trampled Underfoot, Moby Dick, Dazed and Confused, Stairway To Heaven, Whole Lotta Love / Black Dog, Heartbreaker, and Communication Breakdown
Comments: Filmed in color with sound. (Dying has been released officially and is represented here.)
Comparison: London Calling, Latter Visions, and Heavy Metal Kids cover the first 60 to 80 minutes of the show, all being released before the full show became available.
Finally, the full show gets released, on the Condor label. It’s video quality beats all prior releases and doesn’t have audio synchronization issues. Empress Valley followed up by releasing “Demand Unprecedented In the History of Rock Music” with even better video and audio quality (most notably during Tangerine). Both titles have the standard cut in No Quarter. The video quality drops, some is missing, and the audio reverts to the “older professional source.” The problems persist and eventually the audio is switched to the audience during Tangerine.
1976, November 2 - Tuesday
Location: River Tyne, Great Britain
Video: professional video (11 minutes)
Comments: Color film with sound, interview with Robert and Peter Grant for Old Grey Whistle Test.
Comparison: Latter Visions only has the last two minutes. Assemblage is complete and better quality.
1977, April 9 - Saturday
Location: Chicago, IL, USA
Venue: Chicago Stadium
Video: 8mm (18 minutes)
Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, The Rover (introduction) / Sick Again, Nobody's Fault But Mine, Since I've Been Loving You, No Quarter, and Ten Years Gone.
Comments: Color film without dubbed sound. Half of the footage shows band members from waist up while the other half is more distant.
1977, April 10 - Sunday
Location: Chicago, IL, USA
Venue: Chicago Stadium
Video: 8mm (4 minutes)
Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, No Quarter, The Battle of Evermore, Black Mountain Side, Kashmir, Trampled Underfoot, Moby Dick, and guitar solo.
Comments: Color film without dubbed sound. Band members’ height makes up just less than half the distance between the top and bottom of the picture’s frame.
Comparison: Latter Visions’ video quality is barely better than Empress Valley’s Great Chicago Fire. EV did a better job on the sound overdubbing.
1977, May 18 - Wednesday
Location: Birmingham, AL, USA
Venue: Jefferson Memorial Coliseum
Video: 8mm (10 minutes)
Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, In My Time of Dying, Kashmir, Moby Dick, and Rock and Roll.
Comments: Color film shot from the left, up high. Band members’ height makes up half the distance between the top and bottom of the picture’s frame.
1977, June
Location: New York City, NY, USA
Video: 8mm (1.5 minutes)
Comments: Color film without sound. Band members are shown outside the Plaza Hotel.
1977, June
Location: New York City, NY, USA
Venue: Madison Square Garden
Video: 8mm (58 minutes)
Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, Sick Again, The Battle of Evermore, Kashmir, guitar solo, Achilles Last Stand, Stairway To Heaven, Rock and Roll, Whole Lotta Love, and Heartbreaker.
Comments: Color film with actual sound, shot between two nights. Footage is very dark. Distance scale ranges from full body filling half of screen height to full height.
Comparison: Latter Visions is missing three songs and it’s video is too degenerated. Assemblage contains the complete compilation of these two pieces of footage. It has a three or four small instances of digital problems within the first two songs.
1977, June
Location: New York City, NY, USA
Venue: Madison Square Garden
Video: 8mm (3 minutes)
Setlist: No Quarter and Ten Years Gone.
Comments: Color film with actual sound. Band members are shown from knees to head, filling the height of the screen.
1977, June
Location: New York City, NY, USA
Venue: Madison Square Garden
Video: 8mm (3 minutes)
Setlist: The Song Remains the Same through Battle of Evermore.
Comments: Color film without actual sound. Very horrible footage that’s blurry the entire time. Details cannot be seen. Band members height fill about a third of the screen.
1977, June 14 - Tuesday
Location: New York City, NY, USA
Venue: Madison Square Garden
Video: 8mm (7 minutes)
Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, Nobody’s Fault But Mine, guitar solo, Achilles Last Stand, and Moby Dick.
Comments: Color film with actual sound. Distance scale ranges with zoom lens, with band members height occupying one third to full screen height.
1977, June 22 - Wednesday
Location: Inglewood, CA, USA
Venue: Forum
Video: 8mm (7.5 minutes)
Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, Sick Again, Over the Hills and Far Away, and Achilles Last Stand.
Comments: Color film footage without actual sound. Shot from far right of the stage above the floor. Proximity (with zoom) ranges from band members’ height filling half the screen to full screen.
1977, June 23 - Thursday
Location: Inglewood, CA, USA
Venue: Forum
Video: 8mm (9.5 minutes)
Setlist: Trampled Underfoot, Moby Dick, guitar solo, Achilles Last Stand, Stairway To Heaven, and Whole Lotta Love / Rock and Roll.
Comments: Color film without actual sound. Shot from left of center with zoom. Closeness ranges from almost a full stage view to having half of band members’ height filling the screen.
1977, June 26 - Sunday
Location: Inglewood, CA, USA
Venue: Forum
Video: two 8mm (18 minutes & 2 minutes)
Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, Sick Again, Over the Hills and Far Away, No Quarter, Ten Years Gone, Kashmir, Moby Dick, guitar solo, Achilles Last Stand, Stairway To Heaven, and It'll Be Me.
Comments: These were both filmed in color without actual sound. The first source shows the band closely, shot from left of center stage. It typically shows band members from waist to head filling the frame. The other source was shot from far right of the stage above the floor, capturing a little bit of Stairway and the encore. It shows band members’ height filling one third to half of the screen.
Comparison: Cosmic Energy contains the encore, using a mixture of the two camera sources. Empress Valley has both sources.
1977, July 17 - Sunday 8pm
Location: Seattle, Washington, USA
Venue: Kingdome
Video: professional video (200 minutes)
Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, The Rover (introduction) / Sick Again, Nobody’s Fault But Mine, Over the Hills and Far Away, Since I’ve Been Loving You, No Quarter, Ten Years Gone, The Battle of Evermore, Going To California, Black Country Woman, Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp, White Summer / Black Mountain Side, Kashmir, Out On the Tiles (introduction) / Moby Dick, guitar solo, Achilles Last Stand, Stairway To Heaven, and Whole Lotta Love / Rock and Roll.
Comments: The entire show was professionally filmed in color. It is only found with degenerated video and good audio. However, the video is normally out of sync with the audio.
Comparison: Celebration's video has narrower width than 4:3. The width fluctuates quite a bit in the early part, all the way down to 3:3. It doesn't compress the picture, it just simply crops out the sides. The video is highly degenerated and branded with Celebration's logo. The audio is sufficiently loud but the more prominent notes have a distinct digital distraction. Akashic's video is consistently 4:3. The video is still degenerated but isn't as bad as Celebration's and is not branded. The audio isn't quite as loud as Celebration's, but it is all natural. Both titles experience some unsynchronized time in the early part.
Hercules has a little better picture than Akashic, but Cashmere’s seems to be a touch better. Bad Wizard’s video (April 2006 first issue and April 2008 reissue) has been brightened up a fair amount but it shows signs of compression. Their audio is similar to Cashmere.
Boogie Mama’s release is similar to Bad Wizard. The video is a little brighter and shows signs of compression. It has a very brief splice during No Quarter to one of the other audio sources.
1979, August 4 - Saturday
Location: Stevenage, England
Venue: Knebworth Park
Video: professional video (193 minutes)
Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, Celebration Day, Out On the Tiles (introduction) / Black Dog, Nobody’s Fault But Mine, Over the Hills and Far Away, Misty Mountain Hop, Since I’ve Been Loving You, No Quarter, Ten Years Gone, Hot Dog, The Rain Song, White Summer / Black Mountainside (incomplete), Kashmir, Trampled Underfoot, Sick Again, Achilles Last Stand, guitar solo, In the Evening, Stairway To Heaven, Rock and Roll, Whole Lotta Love (incomplete), and Heartbreaker.
Comments: Professionally filmed, in color. (A handful of these tracks have been released officially and are represented here.) Black Mountain Side is missing about two minutes and Whole Lotta Love is missing one minute.
Comparison: Final Cut's Heartbreaker is very, very poor quality. It can be found in much improved quality on Latter Visions. Both are from the same distant camera. Watchtower and Boogie Mama are the only titles to feature the whole show, and are better quality than the miscellaneous songs found on previous titles. Both of these titles’ audio/video are slightly out of sync during the last two songs and feature footage from the following show during the cut. Boogie Mama’s picture quality suffers heavily during fast motion.
1979, August 11 - Saturday
Location: Stevenage, England
Venue: Knebworth Park
Video: professional video (160 minutes)
Setlist: The Song Remains the Same, Celebration Day, Out On the Tiles (introduction) / Black Dog, Nobody’s Fault But Mine, Over the Hills and Far Away, Misty Mountain Hop, Since I’ve Been Loving You, No Quarter, Hot Dog, The Rain Song, White Summer / Black Mountainside, Kashmir, Trampled Underfoot, Sick Again, Achilles Last Stand, guitar solo, In the Evening, Stairway To Heaven, Rock and Roll, Whole Lotta Love, and Communication Breakdown.
Comments: The entire show was professionally filmed in color. It is often found with degenerated video and good audio. In the Evening and Communication Breakdown are available in near perfect quality.
Comparison: Celebration released the same degenerated video that's been available for years. The signature PA problems have been removed from Over the Hills and Far Away. It's during this time when the audio gets out of sync with the video. It is later somewhat corrected before it gets too noticeable. The audio switches to an audience source as soon as the last song ends. The video is “branded” with the Celebration logo the entire time.
Peter Grant's Stairway To Heaven is not an improvement over other sources.
London Calling's two tracks from this show (In the Evening and Communication Breakdown) are very excellent quality.
Genuine Bastard’s and Bad Wizard’s releases are of the same excellent quality found on London Calling. They are complete, unedited, unbranded, and don’t use any audience audio tape - the best so far. Genuine Bastard has a pressing flaw that often interferes with the playback towards the end of Kashmir. Bad Wizard has a minor error just before Trampled Underfoot.
Genuine Bastard’s reissue “Definitive Version” uses new artwork and a new disc, without troubles during playback. The audio and video are the same excellent quality as before.
1980, March 4 - Tuesday
Location: Great Britain
Video: professional video (2 minutes)

Setlist: Trampled Underfoot, Since I’ve Been Loving You, Achilles Last Stand, White Summer, Kashmir, and Stairway To Heaven.

Comments: Filmed in color without actual sound. Full body fills half to full screen height.
Comparison: Latter Visions’ video is way too degenerated and can be better found on Assemblage.
