Although they gave it a good review, they really didn't say much about
it....
Taken from the November 28, 1997 #407 issue of Entertainment Weekly...
Listed under "Reissues":
Led Zeppelin The BBC Sessions (Atlantic)
Let Page and Plant time warp you back to a pre-Physical Graffiti era when
Zep were still breathing blues fire. These oft-bootlegged live shows
from '69 and '71 (remastered by Jimmy himself) are sloppy, gravy thick,
and rife with inspired Page-Plant interplay. Granted, two versions of
"Dazed and Confused" is a bit excessive. But nasty roadhouse takes of
"Black Dog" and "Whole Lotta Love" make this double-disc set a must-own
for Zep heads. B -TL

My comments:
WAY to much talk of Page and Plant only when it comes to this release.
Not a mention of Bonzo or Jones!? Dazed and Confused is a bit
excessive?? Well, how about Communication Breakdown showing up three
times on one disk??
I felt that this review could have been longer but what can I say
! Immigrant Song kicks ass!!
