Led Zep teased fans with the DVD via a cryptic image posted to their social networking pages this past weekend. The 'Five' message was soon decoded by fans, though some were dissappointed not to see the group announce more live dates.
The DVD theory was backed up by Peter Mensch, who manages Led Zep guitarist Jimmy Page posting a message on Twitter which read: "it's almost here. I've seen it and heard it. almost 5 years to the day."
