In New York. In Concert. Incredible.The band that forged rock and blues into music ... more
history.The line forms - and ends - here for the world's greatest, most influential rock band. With Rock and Roll, Stairway to Heaven, Whole Lotta Love and more signature songs, this mesmerizing movie built around Led Zeppelin's famed '73 NYC concerts is convincing proof why. Band members supervised the remastering and Dolby 5.1 remixing of the film's soundtrack. Augmenting the performances, fantasy sequences and at-home glimpses of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and the late John Bonham are rare extras including additional songs. It all adds up to the complete Madison Square Garden Concert experience. The Song Remains The Same. So does the group's power and place in rock lore. This is the version fans have been waiting for.
Advantages: The only Led Zep live "performance" you could buy officially for 25 years, an exceptional rendition of "No Quarter" Disadvantages: Different track sequence to film, some howling gaps in the choice of songs, its a soundtrack not so much a live album.
I remember hearing this album back in 1978-two years after it's release and being a total rock music virgin. So after studying the artwork, live photos( which are exceptional) and listening to Side 3, I was something of a devotee to LedZeppelin.
I went through a phase of puchasing an awful lot of vinyl back in 1979-1984 which included this album on Japanese Import (£13.99 back in 1982!), it did have the bonus of a lyric sheet.
Anyway back to the Album
ROCK AND ROLL-Taken off "Four Symbols" A high energy opener, gets you going with its powerful vocals,lickin guitar and drums. Typical of Zep in their heydey.
CELEBRATION DAY-Taken off "LedZeppelin III" Not featured in the film but again pacey and powerful. a good all round track.
THE SONGREMAINS THE SAME- Taken off "Houses of the Holy"A faithful rendition and slow down in ...
Advantages: Live, loud and libidinous Disadvantages: Live, loud and libidinous!
Having seen this film when this came out, i remember bursting into tears at the cinema! Strange how those salty tears of a 14 year old boy, desperately shy would manifest themselves in later years.
You may wonder what i am on about, i don't really know, but what i do know is that the film got slated when it came out, and was dubbed "the most expensive home movie ever made".
The soundtrack to the film is loud and heavy, and starts brilliantly with "Rock n Roll". We are presented with a totally over the top "Dazed and Confused", which lasts a mere 26 mins. Replete with violin bow and Theramin, this album takes us on a musical tour of the band at the peak of their powers, the concerts are from around '72 or '73 and contain some of the best songs they ever did. The Rain Song and No Quarter being 2 of the best, and look out ...
Advantages: Great band - great music Disadvantages: Extracts shown during songs are tedius
I've always maintained that LedZeppelin are the greatest band ever, but I found this DVD highly disappointing. Whilst the music is good and mostly what you would expect, there a far too many silly film bits, which don't really contribute to the DVD. I'm not sure what the point in most of them are, but I think it could have done without them. You'll find yourself fastforwarding a fair bit, and it's not a DVD you're going to watch on a regular basis.
The music is mainly their earlier stuff up to and including Led Zep IV. However, it has notable ommisions, including Babe I'm gonna leave You, Immigrant song and Communication Breakdown. The version of Stairway to Heaven is truely beautiful, but bit like this a few and far between. ...

Album Notes
Full title: The Song Remains The Same: The Soundtrack From The Motion Picture. Led Zeppelin: Robert Plant (vocals); Jimmy Page (guitar); John Paul Jones (bass, piano); John Bonham (drums). Recorded live at Madison Square Garden, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Cameron Crowe. Back in the seventies, it seemed that every rock band needed to have a live concert film to commemorate their triumphant treks across America. Led Zeppelin were no exception and THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME is a chronicle of Led Zeppelin on tour. Although the uninspired visual aspects of the film fail to capture the power of Led Zeppelin at their mid-seventies peak, the album manages to convey their live prowess. The twenty-six minute, hypnotic version of "Dazed and Confused" works much better here than in the film, where movie patrons would head to the concession stand ten minutes into the song. "Whole Lotta Love" gets a similar extended treatment and the results are equally impressive. THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME also lets you hear that songs like "Stairway To Heaven" sound wonderful even without the benefit of studio overdubs. Though not perfect, this is an honest documentation of the Led Zeppelin live experience, serving as a reminder that beneath the larger-than-life myths that surrounded the group, Led Zeppelin were simply a powerful blues-influenced rock band who lived for their music.
