Brown Media Archive &amp; Peabody Awards Collection at the University of Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>The promotional film <a href=\"https:\/\/bmac.libs.uga.edu\/Detail\/objects\/715480\/start\/460.638939\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">can be seen at 7:40 in the video linked here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The footage emerged after Zep Head, a member of the official Led Zeppelin forum, requested that the archives digitise any footage mentioning Led Zeppelin that originated from the \u201cNow Explosion\u201d show, they explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen there was this. I was floored,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.ledzeppelin.com\/topic\/32199-good-times-bad-times-promo-video-discovered-after-50-years\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">they posted on the forum<\/a>. \u201cSurely we\u2019ve all seen the black and white \u2018Communication Breakdown\u2019 promo video that was shot in Miami in Feb 69. That grainy video. Turns out they mimed TWO songs that day. And \u2018Good Times Bad Times\u2019 was shot in color! Evidently Now Explosion acquired this footage way back when.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As well as the \u201cGood Times, Bad Times\u201d promotional film, Led Zeppelin also shot a promotional video for \u201cCommunication Breakdown\u201d on the same day. Black and white footage of that video has circulated widely for years.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Follow Led Zeppelin News on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LedZepNews\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ledzepnews\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> to stay up to date on news as it happens.
