"At a time when the term 'rock' is becoming utterly outmoded and approachable only from an 'ironic' standpoint, these four horsemen of the musical apocalypse come back and remind us why it wasn't always this way. Those of a sensitive nature can leave now. They came from the land of the ice and snow...well, actually they came from the Black Country and Surrey, but this 3 CD set proves once and for all that Led Zeppelin's spiritual home was definitely way out West." - BBC Music "Page and company have done a nice job making me believe I've missed out on something special even when I thought I knew all this stuff backwards and forwards. Far from just a fan relic, much of How the West Was Won seems definitive, and maybe that explains why it happens to be the biggest selling record in the country at the time of this writing." - Pitchfork Led Zeppelin continue their reissue campaign with a new edition of their celebrated live album How The West Was Won, originally released in 2003, featuring newly remastered audio, which was done under the supervision of Jimmy Page. How The West Was Won highlights the best performances from Led Zeppelin’s legendary concerts at the Los Angeles Forum and Long Beach Arena on June 25 and 27, 1972. Melded together and sequenced to replicate a single concert from beginning to end, the three-disc collection captures the band at the height of its formidable powers. Standouts include a 25-plus minute version of “Dazed And Confused” and a 21-minute medley based around “Whole Lotta Love.” The performances also capture the band introducing songs from its then-unreleased album Houses Of The Holy, which would be released nine months later.
