Hit: 5 Stars
I have been a Led Zeppelin fan for a long time, so the release of a new Zep product always sparks my interest. This particular package interested me because of the vintage film footage on the DVD. Very nice, especially for those of us who were never able to catch the band during their peak (1973-77) years. The re-mastered audio tracks are exceptional. Song selection would of been difficult-but not to worry if your favorite track was left off this CD - Jimmy Page (he learned well from the late great Peter Grant) is an exceptional marketer, so I predict there will be more "special packages" in the future. I bought my Zep CD/DVD (from Amazon of course) - and I really enjoy all of it. Even if you own previous released Zep material, I encourage you to check out this new Led Zeppelin product. A great value for sure!Free Music Review: Mothership by Led Zeppelin

As long as I've been listening to Rock & Roll music, there's always been Led Zeppelin. Zep is one of those influential bands that's so "heavy" in stature that when they had their first reunion concert in 2007, the list of other bands who came to see it was seriously impressive. However, that's part of my "problem" with Zep. They're so popular (they have their own dedicated channel on XM Radio now, all Zep 24/7), that their songs were so overplayed on the radio, I never had any real desire to own a greatest hits package of theirs. I could hear all this stuff on the radio.
So in 2007, Zep finally decided to release all their music on iTunes. Everything was remastered, and from those sessions came a new 2 CD Greatest Hits package - Mothership. I figured now was the time. So I ended up picking this up. There's not a song on here I didn't know. Admittedly, they're not all as overplayed as "Rock & Roll", "Whole Lotta Love", & "Stairway to Heaven", but there's no surprises here for me. With perhaps one exception. They sound awesome! Zep is from an era when sound was muddled, and you listened to their music stoned, and you didn't care about audio fidelity. Now in the year 2008, folks (even the stoners) aren't into that. You're into clarity, power, and sonic resonance. The Zep tunes have never sounded quite this good to my now 42 year old, too much metal, permanently ringing ears.
The overall selection of tracks is nice, and you get all the hits, and a few second tier songs which is quite nice, too. I am of course hanging onto Zep 4 (how can one get rid of that), and In Through the Out Door (my fav, because it's the least played Zep album). But this will probably be more than enough for me to get my fill of Zep when I want to listen now.
There is a third disc in this package, a DVD as well, which is a sampling of material from the "Led Zeppelin" DVD set released a few years ago. Nice value in there, but I would assume if you owned that box set, you wouldn't care about this. As I've read in other reviews, there is nothing "new" here except perhaps the upgraded (to me anyway) sound. If you have all of Zep's albums already, you really don't need this. But if you don't, or want a sonic upgrade on their most well known stuff, than grab this. It's a pretty darned good price for a 3 disc set.
