How the West Was Won album Product Description
How the West Was Won album by Led Zeppelin was released May 27, 2003 on the Atlantic (Label) label. In the course of putting together the live Led Zeppelin DVD for 2003 release, Jimmy Page came across some great concert recordings from the band's 1972 stint in California. HOW THE WEST WAS WON is three discs' worth of vintage Zep, far superior to the band's only other live album THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME. How the West Was Won songs Here is the fearsome foursome in all their glory and fury, coming off like crazed rock & roll Vikings on the opening "Immigrant Song," reinventing the blues form on "Heartbreaker," and just plain rocking the doors off the joint on "Rock and Roll" and "Black Dog." This being 1972, the band had made its journey into the folk-rock realm as well, and come out with the touching "Going to California" and "That's the Way," the earthy "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp," and the minstrel-in-the-hills fancy of "Over the Hills and Far Away," all of which are given strong voice here. A 25-minute "Dazed and Confused" and epic-length drum solo on the John Bonham feature "Moby Dick" show that Zep was unafraid to venture into anything they damn well pleased, but the bluesy grit and primal hard-rock crunch of their feel throughout this collection reveals the pure visceral magic of which these '70s icons were capable. How the West Was Won CD music is a 3-disc set with 18 songs. ...See Full Description

| Only one word. And that word is WOW. It's great to here Led Zeppelin live and remember just how great they were. By a reviewer (Palatine,Ill)  |
| Led Zep at their best How the West Was Won songs The hype on this release did not do it justice. I own over 3000 CDs and this is in the top five. Any rock, blues or music fan should own this set. Zep fans probably already own it, if you don't its your loss. By a reviewer (Adams, Massachusettes)  |
| Powerful and Terrific I love this 3cd set. It is splendid and powerful. The music is terrific throughout. There are many wonderful moments. This set proves why they were the greatest rock band ever. It's a must own for any classic rock fan. It will take you back to the glory days of rock. By a reviewer (New Jersey)  |
| Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Shop At Walmart I have a running argument with a good friend who still seems to regard Jimmy Page as a "Guitar God" Though I managed to listen to this CD all the way through, the shining moments come from the late John Bonham. He manages to beat the unholy crap out of his kit, while keeping the "jamming" to a bare minimum. Page, as usual, is the inconsistent player of old. His studio work was always brillant, but live, well... it was hit or miss. I always liked Zep, but never worshipped them in their own House of the Holy. A must for all fans, and old people.
