Led Zeppelin have reached yet another sales milestone.
The band’s "2003 DVD" has been certified thirteen times platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association Of America) for sales in excess of 1.3 million copies in the U.S. alone.
The RIAA report includes designations for Zeppelin's release at levels of eleven, twelve and thirteen times platinum all being confirmed in July.
The double-DVD set features over five hours of never-before-available concert and performance footage from Zeppelin, spanning the years 1969 to 1979.
Material includes performances at London’s Royal Albert Hall in January of 1970, New York’s Madison Square Garden in 1973, London’s Earls Court (1975) and the band’s 1979 concert at Knebworth, England.
The aticle says 'sales in excess of 1.3 million copies in the U.S. alone'. That's just what was sold in the U.S., not counting what was sold in other countries - which I imagine was 11.7 million or so.
Yeah,the certifications for DVDs and CDs differ as DVDs will sell much lower than CDs will. Certifications and the amounts of sales that represent them also differ from country to country.
Zeppelins officialy released live performances generaly are the best ones. Only handful bands sounded/performed/looked like they did. And to those who complained about TSRTS-you have remember it was mixed/cut 40 years ago.
