Led Zeppelin: Live Dreams

Rating:
Summary: Not worth the price.
Review: I found this book to be over produced and lack of format. Although there was some interesting reading, I feel this book could have had alot better information in it for the price, plus the way it was written didn't make a whole lotta sense. Yes, there are some excellent pictures, but many of them weren't all that exciting. I do not recommend this book, as it is hardly anything but a collector's item.

Summary: BE WARNED!!
Review: I love this book, BUT it is definantly only for the Zeppelin fanatic. A lot of the pictures included in this book can be found in some of the less pricey books. If you need it soon find another book. It took almost 18 week for me to get my copy. "Live Dreams" is a beautiful book with pristine pictures and stories that you can only find here. It has some one of a kind pictures and a detailed cover that makes this book feel like a treasure. If you truely LOVE Led Zeppelin than this book is worth the extra money and waiting.

Summary: Another Snub of Bonzo
Review: This book boasts from great production, and it certainly has some wonderful color pictures in it. But it's missing one crucial piece: a fair representation of John Bonham. Toward the beginning of the book there's two page isolation on each member, the left page being the member's name (Page, Plant, or Jones) with a saying about him, and the right page being a big color shot of him. Bonzo's conspicuously missing from this part of the book, and it irked me. My theory is that this author (Mr. Ranter) got irritated by Bonzo sometime in the 70's when he, Plant, and Ratner were looking at some of his pix. Bonzo, according to this book, essentially said the pictures were beautiful, but where were the shots of him??!! This apparently had a lasting impact on Ratner, possibly insulting him, so he snubbed Bonzo a little by not including him in that beginning spotlight portion of the book. There are, believe it or not, even some out-of-focus pictures in this book. For me, "Photographers Led Zeppelin" is the book to own if you can get it. If you can only get "Live Dreams," it's better than not having it, I guess.
