I'm just taking into consideration that Led Zeppelin was one of those excellent groups that didn't came at a special moment in time when music videos were a thing and widely
available and even MTV wasn't even thought out. The best they had back in the day was "The Song Remains the Same" documentary, which was an experience to be seen and felt - and
even MTV used some bits as clips to present Led Zeppelin to a new generation. This video for "Over the Hills and Far Away" covers the same basic idea, released almost twenty years
after its release on "Houses of the Holy".
It's an okay video, just a little special due to the amazing song they perform, a powerfully melodic song that is delivered in style, grace and pure rock n'roll. Here, the band performs the song, mostly that we see is Robert Plant's face, and it's all shown with some dated effects that makes they look blurry and undistinctive. It was cool back then (early 1990's) but today it brings almost nothing special. With a budget, alternative ideas, storylines or some artful act could presented rather just than a muisican act. I'm cool with what I've got because I absolutely love the song. Thumbs up anyway. 8/10.
