I like Zep's studio stuff, could never get into their live albums.

Gleam, Kashmir is on "How the west was Won."  It's on disc two and it smokes.  A song that's on here that I always wanted to see live is "Achilles last Stand."  Awesome song and I believe it's the longest and the closest to prog they ever recorded.  Bonham was incredible.  I can see why they never recorded after he died.  Jimmy Page is one of the all time great guitar players and writers of rock music.  The first time I heard "Whole Lotta Love", I was blown away.  Zep's one of the few non prog bands I love.  Of course there's Jimi Hendrix also.  Sometimes I try to imagine the music he would have written if he didn't die.  What a loss.  Hendrix was a writing machine.  He spent most of his money, a million dollars, on building Electric Ladyland studios and just recorded 24-7.  Two albums, "First rays of the new rising Sun" and "South Saturn Delta" are available with many recording that were to make his next studio release.  Some songs aren't even finished but they all sound pretty awsome.  What a waste of talent.

Kashmir isn't on West.  It's the DVD that has both that and Achillies' last stand.  Both done quite well live.

I agree! I think it's the best live albums I own. I really love it!

Yeah preety great live album but i think some of the long tracks shuld have been edited or removed completly and replaced by some shorter more intresting songs. Good no mather what, but not the best live rock album ever, thats LIVE AT LEED.
