This film provides an authorized look into the early career of Led Zeppelin, concluding with their 1969 album "Led Zeppelin II." While fans might wish for coverage of the iconic "Stairway to Heaven," the focus is on the band's formative years, avoiding difficult topics such as on-tour antics and the death of drummer John Bonham. Featuring a mix of archival footage and interviews with surviving members, the film captures the legendary essence of the band during their rise without delving into the complexities of their later years or Bonham's tragic end.
The film is structured around archive clips and good-humoured interviews with the surviving members of the band, avoiding some of the darker aspects of their history.
Fans may be disappointed that the film quits before "Stairway to Heaven." But they may also wonder if this arrangement gets us out of some tricky questions about the band's later years.
