EXTD=round: The footage for this was shot when Led Zeppelin was at the end of their 1973 tour. The band was exhausted, and this show was added because of fan demand, and because the footage shot on the previous 3 nights had been badly botched. This was in
EXTD= the days before ubiquitous low cost video, so everything was shot on expensive 35mm and 16 mm film.\n\nLed Zeppelin members regret that this is the only official, legal live recording of an entire concert ('The BBC Sessions', a much more poserful se

EXTD=nd have never loved it. However for the longest time it was the only (legal) live document of arguably the greatest live band to walk the face of the earth. Led Zeppelin's live legacy has only recently been given justice with the release of both the 
EXTD=BBC Sessions in 1997 and 'How the West Was Won' in 2003. Both of these collections blow 'SRTS' out of the water. Why are they better? It's kind of hard to explain but maybe because 'Song' was never supposed to be a live release but was put out becaus
EXTD=e of the release of the film in 1976. The performances documented on vinyl and on celluoid don't seem to capture the magic that 'West' does. In many cases, the tracks are the same but as any Zep head knows, two live versions of the same songs could a
EXTD=lmost be completely different. "Whole Lotta Love" is a perfect example, it is so much better on 'West' than the tired,"let's just get this show over with" vibe from 'Song'. Maybe my review is not going to help the speculative buyer so here goes my wo
EXTD=rd of caution. Only and I mean ONLY, if you have all studio records and have bought both the BBC and 'West' collections, should you buy the 'Song Remains the Same'. Then you'll know what the fuss was all about! \n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\n4 and
EXTD= a half stars, February 3, 2004 \nBy  Selim Sivad (Saturn)\nI'm really amazed at all the bad reviews this has gotten. I have both this album and How the West Was Won and have to say I like this better. It really shows Zeppelin at their height, playin
EXTD=g only their best songs and jamming on almost everything, which really adds to it. The performances from each member are all top notch and the listener also gets more time to hear each of them as musicians. My only gripe (the reason this gets 4.5 sta
EXTD=rs) is that the drum solo on "Moby Dick" goes on too long (like it always did, may I add), but the version here is about half the length fo the one present on HTWWW and it was an important staple of their live set, so I can't really complain much. \n
EXTD=\nNow to defend this album against the other reviewers. First of all, the sound quality is not bad at all. It's a bit murky, I'll give it that, but so are lots of other great, outstanding albums, such as Pangea by Miles Davis and My Bloody Valentine'
EXTD=s Loveless. I actually enjoy the general sound/feel of this recording; it's much better than the far majority of bootlegs (trust me, I collect Pink Floyd boots). Also, the instrumental passages are really in no means "self-indulgent." They really hel
EXTD=p the songs and make them a lot stronger than the studio versions. It's my opinion that Zeppelin were much better musicians than songwriters and this album seems to prove this. If you think this is sef-indulgent, wait until you hear almost any modern
EXTD= jazz record. Finally, what does it matter that this isn't a "real" live album? Does it somehow hurt the band's integrity if they have to overdub a few things? Miles Davis did that all the time on his live albums, especially Live-Evil, and honestly, 
EXTD=I'm glad. Overdubbing is a good thing if it makes the music sound better, which it certainly does in this case. \n\nOverall: If you like to hear jamming done right, get this album. If you just want the hits, STAY AWAY. Previous knowledge of the band 
EXTD=and ownership of other recordings not necessary. \n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nOnly buy if you are the hardest of the hard-core fans, March 19, 2002 \nBy  Continental Op "philmarlowe39" (San Clemente, CA USA)\nWhen I was in junior high, Led Zeppe

EXTD=  G. YEO "gyeo" (Singapore)\nNow that Led Zep has released "How the West Was Won" - TSRTS seems to be even more of an odds and ends release. The overlooked cousin of better live product. \n\nSo the question is: why check this album out? \n\nNever a c
EXTD=ritic's favourite - the movie and album were greeted with mixed response. Rolling Stone mag recalls "You hadda be there" and for the uninitiated, it's pretty true. \n\nThe main fault with TSRTS is the lack of variety in the tracklist. There's a parti
EXTD=cular overload and overemphasis on the extended versions, that don't translate 100 % into CD. \n\nBUT - The real reason to listen to this is Jimmy Page. I haven't heard a live performance (from other recordings) before or since that match his playing
EXTD= here. His fingers are on fire - Celebration Day and the funk version of Whole Lotta Love. Jimmy was at his peak here and the band was tight. \n\nPlant's voice is frayed - he was losing his voice - and you can hear the nerves on Rock and Roll. But he
EXTD= tries his best, and puts in the best version ever of Stairway to Heaven, showing his improvisational, almost jazz-like capabilities. Page's 12 string guitar playing make this a must listen. I've always preferred this to the studio version. Somehow, 
EXTD=Plant's voice rose to the occasion. \n\nJimmy did do the overdubs and fixes here and there over the tracks, but the performance here sounds good. It sounds live, and like you're in the Garden. Great atmosphere. Just listen to the Rain Song. In terms 
EXTD=of technical clarity, it is a superior recording to How the West Was Won, but not a superior performance. \n\nThe main fault of this album is it doesn't give a complete picture of Zep's live performance - not like How the West Was Won. It's a fractur

EXTD=mportant Fact: Neither, HTWWW or BBC includes a live version of No Quarter. The No Quarter on TSRTS captures Led Zeppelin at their essence. It's spooky, Celtic, mythological and creates a kind of aura and ambience that to me represents what is best a
EXTD=bout Zeppelin. Hammer of the Gods refers to Thor's hammer. Wielding this hammer is what elevates Zeppelin above that of simply being a great rock band. It makes their music other worldly and gives it a supernatural quality. \n\nDon't believe the hype
EXTD=. You can't live without this record. \n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nA Moment In Time, January 17, 2000 \nBy  "stuntweasel" (Pittsburgh, PA USA)\nThis film/album had actually been shelved in 1973, never intended to be released because of what was 
EXTD=perceived by the band to be a mediocre performance. It only saw the light of day because of a decision that the band needed to fill a void of 18 months due to Robert Plant's personal problems (he suffered a badly fractured leg in an auto accident and
EXTD= it was feared that he would never walk again without a cane). \n\nFirst of all, The Song Remains the Same was out of date - the film was shot well before the release of the band's monumental Physical Graffiti album and, obviously, contained none of 
EXTD=that album's material. Secondly, the band members themselves lament to this very day that this was their only live performance officially captured for posterity. They were at the end of an extensive American tour at the time and were understandably e
EXTD=xhausted. \n\nCircumstances prevented Zeppelin from ever producing the definitive live recording that they so desperately desired. Such a project was slated for the band's '80-'81 tour, but was obviously scrapped by the death of John Bonham.\n\nIt's 
EXTD=best to think of The Song Remains the Same more as a historical peice than as the definitive live Led Zeppelin, which it is not. It captures a moment in time. An inside-glimpse at the larger-than-life Led Zeppelin, complete with their flaws (even Zep
EXTD= was not perfect). And in that way, The Song Remains the Same is actually more intriguing and has more of an enduring charm than some pristine, studio-exact live excercise.\n\nBut don't be deceived into thinking that this album is slop. There are cer
EXTD=tainly moments of grandeur here that other bands would kill for on their best day. Page's guitar blitz on "Celebration Day" obliterates the studio version. That breathtaking final solo provides fresh open-mouthed astonishment every time. Of course, a
EXTD=ny time Zeppelin straps it on for "Dazed and Confused", it's an adventure - although the running time here of nearly 27 minutes is shockingly self-indulgent for a live album, especially considering the wealth of material they had to draw from (believ
EXTD=e it or not, they were known to go even LONGER in their early days). And who could fail to mention the most famous improvised line ever in a live recording, Robert Plant's, "Does anybody remember laughter?" during "Stairway..." - so well known in fac
EXTD=t, that many people think it's part of the studio version.\n\nTaking the good with the bad, The Song Remains the Same soundtrack is an essential momento for any Zep fan, while it should perhaps be left until later for Zep novices (at the very least, 
EXTD=get 2 or 3 of the first 6 studio albums before you jump into this). \n\n\nHalf.com Details \nProducer: Jimmy Page \n\nAlbum Notes\nLed Zeppelin: Robert Plant (vocals); Jimmy Page (guitar); John Paul Jones (bass, piano); John Bonham (drums).\n\nRecord

EXTD=n 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
EXTD= 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 
EXTD=and the results are equally impressive.\n\nTHE 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 Z
