I am sure it will be cleaned up for the DVD.
I really don't see how they can salvage some of this performance for a DVD; there are some moments that are so douche-chillingly bad. Just listen again to the last verse of "Stairway to Heaven," and the totally botched note in "There walks a LA-dy we all know..." That has to be any singer's nightmare. And the song was in a much, much lower key than the original to begin with...

But, okay, I will admit that "Kashmir" was just a hair shy of brilliant. It's amazing that just three instrumentalists can make such a big sound; indeed, John Paul Jones (who's looking very good!) has proved why he was such an essential element of LZ.

I too am bummed that there was nothing from In Through the Outdoor," but then again, they would have had to bring in an extra musician to handle all of the keyboards. I have always thought "In the Evening" rocked harder than just about anything they've ever done. And I'm one of the 6 people in the world who absolutely loves "Carouselambra." Oh well...
