I love the music of Led Zeppelin, and have been in awe of their power and musicianship since I was a kid, spending countless pre-teen hours learning Jimmy Page’s guitar licks.
Add Moby Grape and Spirit to that list of bands they blatantly ripped off.
What I enjoyed about the doc, however, was the rare footage. The RAH 1970 show, which the film ended with, was officially released as a DVD, but the early footage from 68-69 was a first for me, and even Page commented he had never seen it before. I also didn't know he was on Goldfinger w/Shirley!
Agree with you entirely. A whitewash, to be expected I guess, given the fan-ly approach of the filmmakers. The performances were terrific, but I too thought the JPJ was terrifically charming, modest, and funny—I would've loved more of him and less full guitar solo.
