Re: Chicago '77 video



Badgeholders...
There is some footage from 1977 in circulation and I do remember Jimmy in the 
stormtrooper outfit, but I don't remember him collapsing in any of the video 
I've seen.  He used to throw himself down on his knees a lot more in 77, it 
seems, but collapse?.......  I haven't seen it.    

In my experience, what has been available from 1977 has been transferred from 
8mm film.  It is dark, choppy, the view is often obstructed by the heads in 
the audience and the sound sometimes is dubbed in or sound-synced (word?).  
There are, however, a couple live sound clips and the only lengthy piece I 
know of is MSG which is live sound but it is from more than one night there 
(unless RP used to change his clothes in the middle of the show..)  

It is really a shame that there is not more of Zep on video.  I read in GW 
magazine (the Page/Beck issue) that there is not very much of Zep on video at 
all.  Jimmy says it, so I guess it's true.  What a shame!
