WB discontinues Led Zeppelin: The Song Remains The Same on both HD formats (1 Viewer)

[Mike Frezon]

And I thought I was the only one who wouldn't be able to figure it out.

Brandon: You posted the back cover and implied that it was obvious. Why wouldn't you simply be able to "speculate" on what you think might be the legal problem? Is there different bonus content on the HD versions than on the SD?

The only two groups of items listed that don't pertain to the film itself are: Vintage TV Footage (which lists three different pieces) and Radio Profile Spotlight by Cameron Crowe. D'ya think Cameron's stirring up trouble because the band wouldn't allow the use of Stairway to Heaven during Almost Famous?!

It sounds to me as though Brandon was told the reason under condition of secrecy.

I'm also wondering what "Cutting Copy" means (and if that's the item in question).

 

[Mike Frezon]

If that's true, like Jeff says...why bring it up as a "tease?"

I would think "cutting copy" would be like a "work print"--an unfinished (but viewable) product. Maybe just one camera aspect?

 

[Brandon Conway]

Who knows.

 

[Paul Arnette]

OK. So, Brandon, are you saying this title hasn't been canceled and that there's been a running change made? If I receive a copy that includes on the Extras listed in the screenshot above, will I have a "collectible"?

BTW, I'm going to go with the "2 Never-Before-Released-Performances" as my guess.

 

[Brandon Conway]

Hmm.

 

[TonyD]

thats fine brandon, at least it gives us an idea, but you did say it was obvious why it was delayed/cancelled or whatever, by looking at the shot of the back cover.

no one knows what you mean by that.

 

[TonyD]

i'm with mike on the almost famous thing.
i can see why it would e a sore spot for crowe.

 

[Brandon Conway]

All I know is it should be cool when released.

 

[TravisR]

I'd laugh if that's the case. Payback's a bitch, Led Zep.

 

[Mike Frezon]

And d'yer like my use of "d'ya?!"

 

[Ron>E]

Madison Square Garden printed on back = like a $100,000 royalty fee. Ouch!
I bet there lawyer's did not do there home work.

 

[TonyD]

is that your guess?

 

[Brandon Conway]

Is it back in stock?

 

[TonyD]

what about the folks over at avs who are claiming a glitch in the true hd track
as the reason for the delay/postponement

btw still available at bestbuy.com and bn.com both versions.

 

[brap]

Very unlikely. Crowe is a die hard Led Zeppelin fan who was more than gracious that he could have the 2 songs, maybe 3, that were in Almost Famous.

 

[TravisR]

And they wouldn't let him use Stairway To Heaven that he apparently wanted quite badly. Maybe he wants revenge.

 

[Jordan_E]

The sound does cut out during the song Moby Dick. But otherwise the TrueHD sounds fantastic.

 

[Mark Zimmer]

Thanks for the tip. Order placed.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

I doubt that would classify the cancelled version as a collectible.
