Plant sounded worn out at Live Aid. It's a damn shame, because as always there are tiny moments when you *know* he'd be able to do it, given better circumstances.
Same goes for Innuendo. There's parts later in the song where he's beginning to sound warmed up.
What a bummer! Plant + Innuendo... on paper, its the best idea ever.
I still think Daltrey was best in show.

I can only see the WWRY concert film and Live in Budapest film from benefiting from a 'high def' release and possibly some promos if any original fil/ngeatives still exist.
I'd love to see the two above concerts in HD.
Not sure who owns the rights to these now, if it's QP then forget it, they've probably never even heard of 'high def DVD'

Gregg Brooks has already said that in the appropriate time this concert WILL be re-released in its entirety.

I can not see how this will ever happen - when people like Plant and Spinal Tap have flatly refused any permission of any type.
For people like Plant, artistic integrity is more valuable than money.
Therefore without legal approval - end of story. Certainly in Robert Plant's lifetime.
It is NOT a coincidence that the Page/Plant section of 'Live Aid' was excised - as this too was witheld.
In the words of Lennon/McCartney 'Think For Yourself'.

I allways thought that All the performances found were released, and acording to the booklet from the DVD all the missing performances weren´t found anywhere, since they were erased from the original tapes. For the American concert Bob Geldof just went for the MTV tapes wich gladilly weren´t erased (some people just have no sense of Hystory at all- to erase such an event!!!).
I allways found it strange that the Zep reunion wasn´t "found" but i never thought it was because Plant/Page didn´t want it!
Take care

Bobby, re:

A handy "get-out" that was used by certain artists so that dhey didn't appear to be "prescious" about their performances not being up to scratch.
Vlad, re:
>>Sorry, but I think that the remark about Def Leppard's drummer is completely uncalled for. It takes a very brave man to play drums with one arm and even more so to do it professionally. Even with one arm he's still one of the best drummers out there and you have to give him that.
Why? In my opinion he's absolutely effing useless and has the worst live drum sound in history. And THAT'S marginally in front of Roger Taylor in 1985 - all processed and mechanical - you can't tell the snares from the toms and the cymbals sound like running water. He's been kept on with Leppard out of pity - what else is he going to do?

That´s a shame, but i heard that Zeppelin almost got reunited for some charity events (9/11) and in the end they refuse to do it, because Robert Plant had several conditions:
1- Don´t want to sing "Starway to Heaven", and he claims he´s not an heavy metal vocalist. Everything´s fine, but...
2- Don´t want to reharse. Now, i wonder why things go wrong for him when he performs live...

Ok, I'm familiar with Plant's objections, but this is the first I heard that Spinal Tap refused permission to be included in a home video release.
What was their reasoning? Surely not "artistic integrity"? If memory serves, 1992 also saw several other Tap-related releases, so why did they refuse inclusion in a Tribute Concert release?
I always assumed it was QP that didn't want to include them, and not the other way around.

Whoever the CUNT is who had a go at Rick Allen, your a complete FUCKING CUNT. Def Leppard may not make "new ground breaking records etc" but they have more balls than every other band you care to mention. He is a very courageous guy for carrying on, & the band are for carrying on when Steve Clark died. Anotherpoint FUCKWIT Rick can also play acoustic drums listen to the Slang Album or the unplugged stuff around the same time, when they set a world record for playing 5 gigs in 5 continets on the same day circa 1996. One pissed off drummer
MaxPower, re
>>Whoever the CUNT is who had a go at Rick Allen, your a complete FUCKING CUNT.
That'll be me then.
Interesting that you even have to appear to shout by using capitals as emphasis. You're not Peter Cook or Dudley Moore re-incarnated are you by any chance?
>>Def Leppard may not make "new ground breaking records etc"
Interesting statement of the bleeding obvious straight up, but keep going......
>>but they have more balls than every other band you care to mention.
More balls? What is that exactly? An additional testicle per member? Or maybe Joe Elliott has four and the rest of them three each...........
>>He is a very courageous guy for carrying on, & the band are for carrying on when Steve Clark died.
That wasn't my point, was it, if you cared to read the post properly. I think he's a crap drummer BECAUSE of the disability and that his sound is, as a result, similarly impared to the point that he'd be better replaced with a drum machine.
>>Anotherpoint FUCKWIT
More shouting, swearing and emphasising - lovely.

Isn't he a clever boy then? Are you a Lep fan then? Would never have guesses if you hadn't educated me about the 5 gig thing.
No, just for you and because, judging by your amazing control of the English language you appear to be a touch "challenged", here's something you may relate to:
The Sprickly-Sprock says "Tickly-Tock"
Every Afternoon
Around about three, then it's time for tea
So he takes out his time-for-tea spoon
His time-for-tea fork and his time-for-tea knife
And he turns to his sprickly time-for-tea wife
And says "Yummy!
There's a space in my tummy
That's just the right size
For French mustard,
Sliced ham, creamy custard
And two apple pies.
He runs twice round the table as fast as he's able
Then jumps and flies through the air.
He goes head over heels, claps his hands then he squeals
And lands with a bump in his chair.
He counts up to ten using slices of bread
Licks his lips slowly and scratches his head.
Now he's ready.
He holds his hands steady
Then grabs at the food
And he eats it all urp,
With a slurp and a burp.
Pardon him for being sprickly rude
