I'll cut to the chase. Very thin cotton and after about 6 months of use there's not much left of shirt and it looks very worn now. Since there's plenty of reviews concerning the movie I wanted to focus on the packaging.When this edition was announced I was quite excited to get my hands on a copy. Both of those copies arrived damaged and I don't blame the dealers but whoever the brainchild was whom created this version. The second version omits this material and has black symbols which is more than likely what you will receive when ordering. The outer box is made from flimsy cardboard that can be easily damaged. Upon opening my original copy I couldn't help but notice the cheap quality of the shirt included.
I believe when originally released, their was material used that Zeppelin did not own the copyright to nor get permission to use so it was discontinued quickly. I was more interested in the packaging including the shirt and other extras not included with the other editions of this release. For the most part I'm very displeased with the material used for this set marketed as 'Collector's Edition" I think more thought could have gone into this and considering the original price when released, it should have."Their are two versions of the "Collector's Edition. I bought several extra copies since I wanted to have at least one sealed since I'm a collector. These two were also cut out copies. This version has white symbols like the picture used for this review. You might want to check with your dealers to confirm what your getting and I'm still looking for the white symbols box.
I saw this movie in the theater when it was released in 1976. It was such a disappointment that I came very close to leaving half way through. It is a vacuous, sterile and narcistic ego-project for their then manager Peter Grant. I have been a fan since I first heard John Bonham's incredibly innovative and unexpected drum intro to their first song of their first album in 1969, "Good Times, Bad Times".This poorly made movie does Zep no service.
Good dvd, especially since they will never play togeather again. Plants ego must be to big.
This replacement of an old gem was a welcome addition to my Zeppelin collection. I know I owned this many years ago but there are a few gaps in the memory over those years lol. Enjoy
If you're a fan of this band, you MUST add this to your collection. Between the music and the special effects, I was glued to the TV. You won't be disappointed. Turn it up.
