they ranged form 1969-1979....5 hours of footage from those 10 years...and everyone here is telling me that it can't be done for floyd because the quality will be bad and that the footage is lost??? Caaamon... if they have Zeppelin footage then they MUST have floyd footage......it's just a question of why the fook don't they wanna release all this great footage so who knows maybe it's in the works for floyd!
I f you look at the Zeppelin DVD - you have 4 major concerts moments:
Royal Albert 1970,MSG NY 1973,Earls Court 1975 and Knebworth 1979.I believe all were filmed and/or influeanced by the members of Led Zeppelin.The Denmark '69 TV Show,The Australian Film footage from 1972
and the earlier TV appearances were a means to promote the band and may have not been controlled by the band.
We certainly have alot of Early Floyd TV stuff from Syd's Day and even
with Dave.There's the PBS-TV San Francisco material,a segment of the Floyd performing Saucerful.. at the open air festival in Europe circa 1971,
We have some film footage of the trip to Japan in 1971,we have the Superstars of Rock footage from late '72/73ish where they perform Careful... and Set the Controls.... We have home movie footage from the
Hollywood Bowl 72.All this stuff I'd love to have on one DVD.Now some of this stuff might have been set up by the Floyd personally.(The Pompeii Film-Was it all Maben's baby or not?).But I don't think the Floyd ever embarked on a plan to do anything visual from then on in.The Wall Shows
of 1980 were filmed for the movie but that is pretty much it!
The only thing I've seen from '73-'77 is crappy home movie footage of L.A. 1975 and Anahiem+A European Show from 1977.That and the Pig over Battersea Power Station footage.
Gilmour himself said prior to the '94 Earls Court show that he was disappointed the Band never filmed a performance of DSOTM in the 70's
so they rectified that in '94.It's just too bad Waters couldn't leave differences aside for one night and perform with them!
