Re: Mini-Review: Favorite SACD or DVD-Audio disc

Led Zeppelin - dvd

Format: dvd video
Number of Channels: L-PCM stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1/Surround, DTS  5.1/Surround, Extras Dolby digital 2.0 stereo
Label: Atlantic

Audio quality:
Linked by HDMI and 5.1 RCA analog IC played in DTS the audio is excellent. Though it varies somewhat between the 5 different recorded venues.
I did listen in 5.1 Digital Dolby as I forgot it had the DTS audio, which was quite good as well.
IIRC HDMI cable is necassay to get 24 bit audio.

The 2 dvd set contains over 5 hours of Never-Before-Seen Live classic performances and rare interviews.

My personal song favorite Earl's Court 1975 'In My Time of Dying'. IMO you will never see another rock guitarist, I dare say play the guitar like Jimmy Page does here. 10 minutes of masterful slide guitar technique. Other favorites, the opening track of disc 2 'Immigration Song' on open air stage in 1972, and 'Achilles Last Stand' from Knebworth 1979.

Video extra- haven't viewed.

Retails: $35 CDN , money well spent if you're a Zep fan.
