I wish they wouldn't have done this.    Totally cheapens their legacy IMO.   Some things are better left in the past and left great.    This to me just looks like tired old farts trying to relive their glory days.   

No, I'm not a huge Zep fan but I respect what they did back in their day.

Gotta disagree. I think Jimmy Page could be 80 and still look cool on stage.

alot of older artists seem to be coming back to reform though.

most of them touring, zep just did it once as a tribute to someone that died that used to help them out.

They're musicians, not models. Being a musician is a job. At 60-70 age is when you retire depending on health.
They all seems in good shape so should rock on.

I don't get the extreme actions some take for presitge, getting old is normal

[Jim Bob]

I dunno I just think reunions like this in general are cliche and lame.

WTF is going on at YouTube? EVERY LITTLE CLIP of SOMETHING from the gig is being taken down by this Warner shit. Crapsucking cocklovers. How the fuck would they do that??

[*Timothy*]

Probable cause they are going to release a dvd of the show . So why would they want bootlegged stuff on things liek youtube?

Because they are owned by Google.  It sucks, YouTube isn't what it used to be.

[ForeverGNR]

Because it's just an innocent thing like YouTube, I don't see a problem in having a few clips from the show?  Just annoying as hell for one like me, who wasn't there. I see a couple of the best songs, but can't watch them. 

[Bandita]

Basically, someone at Warner is sitting there monitoring Youtube.

Warner Gives "No Quarter" Over Led Zeppelin Video Clips

Mere hours after Led Zeppelin made rock and roll history with its triumphant reunion concert at London's O2 arena, the band's record label, Warner Music Group, was locked in running battle with YouTube users who are flooding the site with amateur videos of the show.

Dozens of videos of songs including Stairway to Heaven, No Quarter, Whole Lotta Love, and Good Times, Bad Times, have been uploaded to the video site, much to the apparent chagrin of Warner. (By the time you read this, these clips may have been pulled.)

As of Tuesday afternoon, many videos had been removed, "due to a copyright claim by Warner Music Group." But dozens remained, with more being uploaded by the hour.

Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the copyright holder - in this case Warner - is required to inform YouTube of each instance of infringement. YouTube is then obliged to take down the offending video.

Given the sheer number of videos being posted, it is fair to assume that Warner's lawyers are working overtime. Unfortunately for Warner, YouTube, which is owned by Google, is only required to take down individual videos, not to remove all videos made of the show, en masse. Critics of the D.M.C.A. often seize upon this component of the law when arguing for its reform, or outright abolishment.

Given the size of O2 Arena (20,000, sold out), the historic nature of the concert, the fact that Zeppelin currently has no tour planned, and the ubiquity of cheap cellphone and video cameras, last night's show may have been one of the most video-taped rock concerts in history.

Last night's show is already being considered one of the most important rock and roll concerts of the last decade, if not in the history of pop music. Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive - gushing, even - and bands and critics alike are clamoring for Led Zeppelin to announce a world tour. The Telegraph reported that Led Zeppelin record sales skyrocketed 500 percent the day after the concert.

Warner has good reason to want to protect its intellectual property in this case, given that the company is expected to release a DVD of the concert for sale next year.

Just recently, timed to coincide with the reunion concert, Led Zeppelin agreed to put its entire, remastered catalog on iTunes. This reporter has heard the material, and can confirm that it is, in a word, awesome.

Neither YouTube, nor Warner Music Group, were immediately available for comment.

They are being uploaded faster than they can take them down. Hooray!!!

[Jim Bob]

I enjoy seeing copyright protection actually working.      we live in a day and age where your hard work can be easily stolen and taken for free.

[Bandita]

In this case I don't think anyone's bootleg clips are going to hurt the sales of a DVD when released, if anything the people who are watching the clips in the 1st place would be excited to know that something intends to be released in higher quality.

I mean, who is gonna choose a shaky bootleg cam or audio when they know a pro-shot is in the works?

[mrlee]

if they include footage of backstage stuff, and interviews, that will totally add to it.

please no insane stories though like the song remains the same DVD.
