Previously unseen Led Zeppelin live footage from 1979 unearthed (watch)

Led Zeppelin are back in the spotlight thanks to new documentary Becoming Led Zeppelin, and for fans who want more, here’s 13 minutes of previously unseen live footage shot in Denmark in 1979. Via Led Zeppelin News, the footage was shot by Lennart Strömreel on Super 8 at the band’s second of two warm-up shows in Copenhagen on July 24, 1979 which would be their last-ever show in Denmark.

The film had been developed but sat in a drawer ever since, until Strömreel left a comment on the Heart of Markness podcast website about an episode dedicated to the show, saying he shot the concert. The footage got a new digital scan with color correction, and features parts of “Whole Lotta Love,” “The Song Remains The Same,” “Misty Mountain Hop,” “No Quarter,” “Black Dog,” “Nobody’s Fault But Mine,” “Over The Hills And Far Away,” “Since I’ve Been Loving You,” “Hot Dog,” “Rain Song,” “Stairway To Heaven,” and more.

“We brought the Super 8 camera to test a new film that would work indoors,” Ström told LedZepNews. “It was no problem getting the camera in, it was quite small and I think I had it in my trousers on my back. Filming wasn’t that often done in those days. They looked more for audio equipment.”

Becoming Led Zeppelin is in theaters now and you can watch the trailer for that below.
