Thirteen minutes of previously unseen Led Zeppelin concert footage from 1979 has been posted online after lying in a drawer for 45 years
It’s from their concert in July 1979 at the 2000-seat Falkoner Centre in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was the second of two warm-up shows prior to their final UK shows at Knebworth the following month.
Lennart Ström shot the 8mm footage and since stumbling upon it had it scanned by Reel Revival Film here in the U.S. and color-corrected by The Pink Floyd Research Group, before being matched with an audio recording from the show.
Ström tells LedZepNews.com, “We brought the Super 8 camera to test a new film that would work indoors. It was no problem getting the camera in, it was quite small and I think I had it in my trousers on my back. Filming wasn’t that often done in those days. They looked more for audio equipment.”
The film contains snippets of 17 songs — “The Song Remains the Same,” “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,” “Rain Song,” “White Summer,” “Kashmir,” “Trampled Underfoot,” “Sick Again,” “Achilles Last Stand,” “In the Evening,” “Stairway to Heaven” and “Whole Lotta Love” — as well as a clip of Jimmy Page‘s guitar solo.
You can watch the footage on YouTube.
