rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Led Zeppelin: Origin of the Species is part of the Critical Review series dissecting the “roots and branches” of the band as well as the individual members. Looking at the musical histories and influences that created pre-Zeppelin groups like The Yardbirds and Band of Joy, the film follows the young musicians as they create the legendary group from the ground up all the way to international success.
Featuring lots of rare or previously unseen photographs and film footage, the DVD gives visually more than others have in the past while maintaining a scholarly approach incorporating the insights of 60s NME editor Keith Altham among others who present great first-hand memories. All the viewpoints create a well-rounded understanding of this phenomenal group.
