    • Trivia
      The money stolen from the safe deposit box at the Drake Hotel was never recovered and no one has ever been charged. Suspicion remains on a former employee of Drake, who fled to Jamaica soon after the robbery took place.
    • Goofs
      Near the end of "Dazed and Confused", during the camera-spin, Jimmy Page can be heard soloing wildly in high-note arpeggios for which his fingers should be closer-to-the-body (his AND the guitar) but the footage shows clearly his left hand up closer to the headstock in chord-strumming positions. During the same song there are obvious footage inserts where he is not as sweaty as he appears in clips preceding, following, & throughout the rest of the song.
    • Quotes

      Robert Plant - Lead Singer: I think this is a song of hope.

      [singing]

      Robert Plant - Lead Singer: There's a lady who's sure, All that glitters is gold, And she's buying a Stairway to Heaven...

    • Crazy credits
      "Stairway to Heaven" is played in its entirely, resulting in several minutes with the words "Exit Music" on a black screen after the credits have finished rolling as the music continues.
    • Alternate versions
      UK cinema release was seemingly pre-cut for an A rating (roughly a modern PG), to remove a scene with frequent swearing. The backstage scene in question shows Peter Grant letting loose on a crew member for not clamping down on poster bootleggers. The several uses of strong language aren't mentioned in the BBFC's original cinema report, and the video report from 1987 questions the previous lack of mention of swearing - all UK video releases are uncut and upgraded to 15.

    CLASSIC ROCK!
    For those who worshiped the ground that Led Zeppelin walks on,this is the movie to see and it features two and a half hours of the band in all of its glory. This was a band whom were the pioneers of heavy metal/classic rock and this was a band whom were the most powerful influence on the culture of the 1970's,when the band were at the peak of their prime. Based on their LIVE 1973 concert at New York's Madison Square Garden,you got to see the founding fathers of their day--Robert Plant,John Paul Jones,John Bonham as they deliver the goods to some of the best rock ballads of their day---songs like "Whole Lotta Loving" and many more were the order. It may drag on some,but it's worth seeing anyway,for those who love their Zeppelin---hard,edgy,and demandable. I have seen this film over several times,and its rocks!!!! Catch it sometime during a midnight screening with some buddies at your local theatre or on some university campus.
