A four-part documentary on rock band Led Zeppelin. Containing rare archival concert footage, actual Led Zeppelin audio recordings, archival interviews with the band as well as with music critics, musicians and similar experts, we see the full arc of their history.
A comprehensive documentary on Led Zeppelin. At a total of four hours a lot of ground is covered. It is slanted towards the first four albums though: the first five years of the band's history takes three hours while the final seven years is wrapped up in one hour.
In addition, what the documentary has in breadth it lacks in depth. Yes, there's hordes of experts telling us what made Led Zeppelin so great but it largely seems pretty cheap and superficial. The "experts" are largely nobodies and the only interviews with the band are archival ones, generally from the 70s.
Still, for someone who doesn't know much about Led Zeppelin this will be a great way to learn about them. For someone like me who is highly knowledgeable on the band and has seen many documentaries on them, it doesn't add much. There are much better documentaries on the band out there but this one isn't bad.
