Customer Review: Very good transfer of a classic rock film. Even better sound.
I must say that if you are a Zepplin fan, you will love this movie. Is it the best live concert footage ever made? No. Is it hoaky? Yes. It was made with the intentions of giving fans a look at the band from a ” backstage ” point of view. It evolved into something else. A mix of live footage with a twist of…..let’s just say strange. But, enjoyable to any die hard Zep fan out there.

So…..first off, the picture is very nice. It is not ” reference ” quality. It shows it’s age. The film was never shot with the intentions of being perfect. It is concert footage. Gritty, raw, real. So, if you can keep that in mind. You will enjoy be watching this title in it’s best possible presentation. The restoration of this film shows. It is clean of dirt and scratches, but the colors are not stable throughout. You will notice many changes in picture quality as concert scenes change to the movie portion. The concert scenes are clean, sharp. Colors are very nice and bright. Best I have ever seen. But, the actuall movie portion did not fare as well. The blacks do not hold up. Some are poor, some are good, some are very good. Uneven at best. But, the movie is over 30 years old. So, you must cut it some slack.

The audio was much, much better than I expected. With my home theatre system, all sound fields were covered nicely. Your subwoofer gets a very good workout also. Clean, crisp voices throughout. Nicely done I think.

So….with that said. I would say this title is worth buying for any Zep fan. Picture quality is good. Not perfect, but good. Sound is better. If you are not a Zep fan, keep an open mind. This was the mid 70’s. It was a sign of the times, from a Icon band that still holds the test of time. Enjoy!

Customer Review: Fixed?
Hope they’ve fixed whatever the problem was with the original Blu Ray release late last year. Can’t wait to hear the Dolby TrueHD track!

dbest Quik Cart Two-Wheeled Collapsible Handcart with Lid #00-011
Amazingly, this multi-purpose cart with lid will collapse to a mere three inches in height. This means you can take it just about anywhere you might need it without worrying about tripping over it when its not in use. When you are ready to use it, it opens in seconds. The cart lid doubles as a seat you can sit on if you’re in line, and “triples” as a step stool that will support up to 250 pounds. Made of aluminum and heavy-duty plastic, the cart is durable enough to carry up to 80 pounds. The cart rolls around on two easy-glide wheels and features a collapsible handle for easy maneuvering.–Josh Dettweiler

Customer Review: Can’t go wrong with this
Folds easy, sturdy and perfect for dragging along light loads! My pregnant wife loves it
Customer Review: A wonderful backsaver!
I no longer break my back carrying groceries in my arms! In addition, no more plastic bags (or a few less..) The cart is sturdy. It does take a little while to open it up, gathering curiosity from bystanders in the supermarket plus offers of help, but it only takes a couple of minutes. It’s a bit noisy riding along the concrete streets of New York but it survives the bumps in the road (and we have lots of bumps on the roads!) Thank you!
