"These are films I've waited years to work on": 40 minutes of newly scanned footage of Led Zeppelin playing in Tokyo in 1971 has appeared online

Led Zeppelin onstage in Tokyo.

On September 23, 1971, Led Zeppelin played their first-ever Japanese show at Tokyo's famous Nippon Budokan Hall, and more than half a century later more than 40 minutes of newly upscaled footage from the show has been posted online.

The two films, which were originally shot by Zeppelin fans Hideo Yamada and T. Ohtaki, were initially shared online in 2018. More recently, the footage was shipped off to the US, where it was scanned in 4K and colour-corrected to produce some of the best quality fan-shot footage from the era.
