DVD Reviews of No Quarter - Jimmy Page & Robert Plant Unledded
DVD Review: Versatile, Enduring Icons Plant & Page Prove Again Why They are the Best
Summary: 5 Stars
FANTASTIC !!!
Perhaps 30 years ago, their fans would have been shocked or appalled to hear them smoother. Hopefully not, fans should be fans and Plant and Page deserve it.
They have done a beautiful job of reworking classic tunes adding other rhythms from many sources. They also reveal other talents within themselves in their very capable though more mature skills.
The site recordings are casual, easy, yet passionate, spot on and absolutely beautiful.
"Rock on" gentlmen. :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
DVD Review: great concert!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazing concert by page and plant, with some new ideas on some of hte best zeppelin classics, and a great performance by page and plant, as well as all the musicians accompanying them in this amazing concert.
There are some very interesting takes on classic songs like no quarter, amongst others, with sounds of Morocco and middle eastern music making it a great concert for any zeppelin lover that has and open ear for music of the world.
DVD Review: Perfection
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to agree with everything written above about the amazing performances on this DVD which also led me to HAVE to also purchase the CD for my car. I'm a little late finding this but so glad I did. I'm a huge Robert Plant solo fan, along with Led Zep. No Quarter makes me wish so HARD that some day Robert may decide to do more similar solo work such as this masterpiece, with or without Jimmy, along with the other amazing musicians from India, Egypt, Morrocco, etc. that he loves so much and has brought me to love so much. It's so wonderful to hear Robert's softer, more melodic, sexier, romantic side while still showing all of his powerful vocal talent. OMG I just cannot get enough of him! And the songs "City Don't Cry" and "Wah Wah" with the Gambri are just mesmerizing. And what about "The Truth Explodes"!!!! OMG! Put that on the radio NOW!!!!! It's way better and way ahead of its time even today! Jimmy's hard, dirty, grungy, sexy guitar puts other "grunge" artists to shame and Robert! Kill me now. I'm breathless. DVD Review: If "Unledded", it's certainly high octane
Summary: 5 Stars
No point in saying I agree with most of the reviewers who found this DVD excellent, but the first time I listened to it, I picked the Dolby Stereo and put it on the big audio-rig and speakers -- the heck with five-channel sound when the stereo is this good. I then sat back and closed my eyes to focus on the music at its best. I have been a LZ fan for years, and I own many of their albums in original LP form, but this is amazing. The "Rain Song" has always been my favorite number . . . along with Kashmir, and I can say I never really heard them until this DVD.
After listening to CDs, this was sheer ear-ecstasy. The DVD audio quality is simply superb -- the best live recording I have ever seen/heard on DVD . . . and at last the medium lives up to its promise. The combination of watching the picture and listening to the gorgeous music is informing -- I figured out some things. Stereo imaging was highly synchronized with what your eyes see on the picture of the stage. EDIT -- the one glaring exception is "Black Dog", which is like listening to a "boom box" in a 55 gallong drum cranked up to unintelligible and frighening gains. I checked it out on a waveform analysis. There are no peaks; there are no valleys. This is a disappointment to a great song -- what you can credibly hear of the performance "in the drum" sounds as if it could have been a fine performance.
Sure, Robert Plant has lost some of the top end of his vocal range, but his unique phrasings and modulations are excellent, emotive and uniformly on key. He certainly is not shy of showing off that he is still quite a showman. And as for Jimmy Page, for the first time to me he shows he was not only a great innovator of the past, but he is still a consumate guitarist.
The imagination and reach of the arrangements left me awestruck at the extension of the creativity of Plant and Page. The choice of instrumentation and the superb blending of the various elements is among the most amazing recordings of a live performance I've ever heard. This is the audio fulfilment of my years of fandom of LZ. Sure, I think it's a tragedy that Bonham is no longer with us, and it's a disappointment if they slighted Jones, BUT this is a DVD I will use to demonstrate what great sound can be.
I thought the soundstage was beautiful and effective. The alternative recording sites and landscape interludes were pleasant and soothing, and they did not repeat the self-indulgence that mars "The Song Remains the Same" DVD.
EDIT: To rehash, I'd like to see whoever engineered that recording of "Black Dog" shot -- the gain and compression are so high that the average loudness is universally at the clipping point. It sounds horrible, and the better your sound system, the worse it sounds. Plant's vocals are muddied and some interesting Moroccan or Egyptian accompanyment is totally buried. It is the worst version of an LZ song I have ever heard by a member of the band, and is guaranteed to really iritate anyone quickly, if you can stand it that long.
DVD Review: PLANT... PAGE... PRIMAL AND JUST ABOUT PERFECT
Summary: 5 Stars
Robert Plant and Jimmy Page take the songs of Led Zeppelin and play them acoustically for the most part but also in a different thrust than the original. It's hard to find the words to describe what they did really... it's just so different than what you'd expect... and yet so tasty!
Much of the playing is set in India and they use Indian musicians and instruments behind them. It creates a very listenable quality to what you are seeing and hearing. When you relax into it a bit, the songs begin to get to you at a different level. I've done quite a bit of foreground listening in my life where I'm really immersed in the music and this one sort of gets in your mental kitchen and rearranges the furniture.
Also some great art direction and cinematography help create a visual atmosphere that matches the audio feel nicely.
And then there's those Zeppelin tunes....
If you liked them as originally done, you'll very much enjoy this slightly different take on their studio nature. What I particularly liked was that they didn't change the songs so much that you lose what you loved about them in the first place... and, as Martha Stewart would say, "That's a good thing."
Description of No Quarter - Jimmy Page & Robert Plant Unledded
Performing with the London Metropolitan Orchestra in 1994, Unledded documents the much-heralded reunion of Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. Among the songs performed are reworked versions of many Zeppelin favorites, including "The Battle of Evermore," "Gallows Pole," and "Kashmir," along with four new songs, such as "Yallah" and "Wonderful One." The platinum-selling Unledded cd heralded a new era or renewed popularity. Released now for the very first time on DVD, Unledded is the DVD Led Zeppelin fans have been waiting for.Track Listing:

Decades after the death of drummer John Bonham and, for all intents and purposes, the demise of the group, Led Zeppelin's popularity continues unabated--and why not, as long as they keep coming up with offerings as worthy as No Quarter: Jimmy Page & Robert Plant Unledded. Originally released on CD in 1994 and then in a remastered version simultaneously with this DVD, the 115-minute program (including bonus footage) was recorded on a London soundstage, in the hills of Snowdonia, Wales, and outdoors in Marrakech, Morocco. It finds guitarist Page, vocalist Plant, and an array of other musicians performing some new material, but for the most part, the repertoire focuses on their Led Zep legacy--not a surprise, considering that what they did together in that group was better than anything they've done separately, including some pretty good Plant solo efforts and Page's regrettable stint as a member of the Firm. Yet instead of simply parroting their Zeppelin period (and relying on tired warhorses like "Stairway to Heaven" and "Whole Lotta Love"), they've given the music new life, adding exotic instruments like the bodhran (an Irish drum) and the hurdy-gurdy (played by cranking a rosined wheel against a set of strings) to less familiar fare like "The Battle of Evermore" and "Gallow's Pole." Add to that three brilliant new songs performed with a quartet of Moroccan players, a full complement of strings from the London Metropolitan Orchestra (on "Since I've Been Loving You" and others), and a host of Egyptian percussion and strings on an epic version of "Kashmir" (also from the London session), and you've got a world music blend that is at times genuinely thrilling--especially for those with 5.1 Surround Sound capability. --Sam Graham
