I watched Thor - Ragnarok tonight and The Immigrant Song is prominently featured in the film.
Led Zeppelin In Atmos

Cool! Could you tell if it was remixed into discreet multichannel or just manipulation of the stereo program?
It did not sound awe inspiring but not bad either, I doubt that it was remixed discretely for Atmos.

I hate to play the part of uncle Grumpy here,but, taking into consideration the fact the HUGE aversion that "Jimminy Page" has had all his time to remixing LZ's catalog in MCH, I highly doubt that it's a legit MCH mix...my bet is that it's an upmix...betcha $20 ....
Page and Plant allowed legal bootleg video copies of a few shows they did (one at the Solsbury festival, can't recall where the others were off my head), and they were in excellent surround!
Downloaded them from the Dimeadozen torrent site . . . may still be there (and, I repeat, it's legal!). At the end of one, Plant waves at the camera and says "enjoy your bootleg!"

...and may I repeat...Page has NEVER made or let anybody mix ANY OFFICIAL MCH mixes from LZ's catalog...
Saw Ragnarok last night. Cool movie, coming from a guy who doesn't love all comic book movies.
I don't know what kind of sound my theater had, but it was kinda out in the boonies, so I doubt it was Atmos.
Anyway, I thought Immigrant Song sounded "ok," but honestly a little dingy compared to the rest of the soundtrack.

The exception being the live How The West Was Won. (The "audio" volume on 2 DVDA's. Not to be confused with the "video" volume on 2 DVDV's with the same name.)

You are probably talking about Kevin Shirley's involvement....
That's the rub when it comes to Led Zeppelin....Page is a great guitarist...but he should have left the technical aspects to real professionals...he has such a stranglehold on the Zep catalog that we will never get any really outstanding audio from all those great songs...of course it has worked out well for him CHECK THIS OUT

Is there drama or bad blood over this I'm not aware of? I know they made a CD reduction from it that was a fold down I believe (not a specific stereo mix) that didn't go over very well. Wait a minute... the same Kevin Shirley that mixes Iron Maiden albums?! Then I'm confused. I don't think HTWWW should win top mix awards but I thought it was a decent mix just the same. So what the heck happened to all those Maiden albums with the AM radiophonic vibe and the snare drum with more bass than the kick drum?!?!

Yes, that IS Led Zeppelin...BUT I'm referring to their catalog/studio albums, i.e.
There's also the "Surround" mix of "The Song remains the same" DVD-V/BD which IS part of their "catalog" (though not a studio LP) with the same and only Surround effect being the gtr delay in the violin bow part of "Dazed and confused"....

Saw it in Imax 3d. 3d was good, Imax immersive, sound was loud, Immigrant song is slightly over 2mins so it seemed like they stretched it
to fit scenes.
While the song refers to hammer of gods, I didn't feel it fit movie, but ok. couldn't tell stereo/mch just loud and encompassing.
Complex did have another theatre that had Dolby but was only 2d.
As it's now been 10 years since the last of the Jimmy Page remaster box sets... any news on an Atmos reissue campaign? I haven't hear anything anywhere, and with the release this weekend of Becoming Led Zeppelin in iMax, an Atmos release of the original albums would be indicated, if not imminent. I know Steven Wilson and Kevin Shirley are busy, but surely there is an Atmos remix engineer out there up to the task?
the question is not is there an engineer up to the task.
the question is will Page allow it, and seems the answer is no
Yeah, he certainly doesn't need the money. But for years he tweaked, re-mixed and remastered tracks from the entire catalogue, released several different compilation box sets, spent a decent amount of time re-working The Song Remains the Same film soundtrack... seems odd to me that he hasn't dived in and worked up Atmos versions of their expansive catalog.
I think in his mind, all those studio records were designed for stereo and that's the only way he wants them heard
Perhaps. However, Led Zeppelin were known for pushing the envelope in their studio recordings, and were one fo the first bands to have members build recording studios in their residences. I guess I'm just kind of surprised they didn't embrace this new format/technology as they had with CD, DVD, remastered box sets and streaming.
