Music DVD Review: Zebra - The DVD
Published April 13, 2008
The production quality of this DVD could have been better. Most disappointing was the lack of any 5.1 surround sound mix. Fortunately, the lone Dolby Digital 2.0 track sounded pretty good, especially at higher volumes. The picture was presented in full frame, not widescreen, and it was reasonably sharp and clear. The camera work was excellent and made you feel like you were watching from down in the crowd.
My biggest gripe is that there are interviews interspersed between most of the songs, with no option to just play the songs. Yeah, you can skip over them with your remote control easily enough, but who is going to want to sit through the interviews more than just during the first viewing. The interviews were all pretty interesting, especially Randy Jackson's, and you also get a few humorous segments with Howard Stern show alumni "Stuttering" John Melendez and Jackie "The Jokeman" Martling, who are both friends of the band.
The DVD proves that 30 years into their career, Zebra can still deliver the goods. I would still love to see something like that 1983 Houston Summit show get the full, Led Zeppelin DVD, deluxe, remaster and restoration treatment.
