Filmed
during the band’s legendary three-night stand at Madison Square Garden
in July 1973 and released theatrically in 1976, The Song Remains
The Same features Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and
the late John Bonham in a mesmerizing movie with classic music
performances that include the hits “Dazed and Confused,” “Stairway to
Heaven,” “Whole Lotta Love” and more. The film has been newly re-mixed
and re-mastered in 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound, personally
supervised by the band.
Atlantic/Rhino Entertainment has given The Song Remains The Same
soundtrack the deluxe reissue
treatment, with the band members overseeing the remixing and remastering
of the original release. The new version of the soundtrack will also be
available November 20 and includes six songs that were not on the
original release --“Black Dog,” “Over
The Hills And Far Away,” “Misty Mountain Hop,” “Since I’ve Been Loving
You,” “The Ocean,” and “Heartbreaker,” plus new liner notes by Academy
AwardÒ-winning director Cameron
Crowe (Almost Famous). See below for complete track listing.
After nearly forty years, Led Zeppelin continues to inspire generations
with their groundbreaking blues-infused, guitar-driven rock ’n’ roll.
Arguably the biggest rock band in the world throughout their 12-year
reign, they remain one of the most influential and innovative groups in
music history. With over 200 million albums sold worldwide, their
catalog is one of the most enduring bodies of musical composition to
come out of the 20th century.
“We have revisited
The Song
Remains The Same,”
says Jimmy Page, “and can now offer the complete set as played at
Madison Square Garden. This differs substantially from the original
soundtrack released in 1976, and highlights the technical prowess of
Kevin Shirley, who worked with us on How The West Was Won. When
it comes to The Song Remains The Same, the expansion of the DVD
and soundtrack are as good as it gets on the Led Zeppelin wish list.”

Many,
if I was only born a few years earlier, I might have been there. I
spent many a happy nights attending concerts at the famed Garden, but
almost a decade later. This rockumentary, like the band itself, is
a little harder than the rest, and is not exactly a documentary, nor is
it exactly a recording of an old concert. The DVD highlights
the 1976 Madison Square Garden that provides us a look at a long ago
live concert of one of the most energetic bands in the world.
However, before, during and afterwards, we are also allowed a glimpse
into the lives of the band members themselves. There are clips of
the band back stage, as well as interesting "dream sequences" that show
the band members in either their real lives or in alternate fantasy
worlds. Even the cinematography does not adhere to the
straightforward images. The concert angles may go from straight
shots of the whole band, to Robert Plant singing as taken almost looking
straight up like it was taken from under the stage, to a close-up of
Jimmy Page making magic on the guitar to the normal what you expect
concert footage. For any fan of music, especially of Led Zeppelin, and
classic rock, along with the
