Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same (2 Disc Special Edition)

Date undefined

For the longest time if you were a Zeppelin fan this was your only chance to catch a glimpse of them live, and even then you had to wait to see it at a midnight movie.
OK, I'm showing my age and I know I'm being a little nostalgic. Sure, the fantasy sequences are a little cheesy and even then, we noticed that sometimes Jimmy's hand's weren't syncing up quite right with the music but it didn't matter, this was Zeppelin live! Anyway, they've remastered the soundtrack, the picture looks a lot better and the second disc of extra footage makes it essential. If you're a fan, you either have it already or you need this.

Whether you're a Led-Head like me or just a casual Zeppelin fan, this is mandatory viewing material. It's undoubtedly one of the finest guitar performances ever caught on film. Ever. The things Jimmy pulls off are amazing. With this DVD you get to see Led Zeppelin all at the height of their creativity, talent and ability. I was a little surprised when I first realized that the newly included songs that were left off the original motion picture were placed on a separate disk and not inserted into their respective places in the concert film. But then I read that due to legal reasons, they weren't allowed to alter the original format of the film...only remaster the sound and images, but not mess around with the order of songs. So they had to put those other songs from the NY concerts on a separate disk. No biggie, at least you now have them all. The Ocean, Celebration Day and others! Some cool extras that I hadn't seen before.
Some people who don't understand Led Zeppelin have complained that the live versions don't sound like the studio versions. However, Led never tried to reproduce that sound. They played these songs differently every night. Another complaint is that some say Zep live is self-indulgent. It's not. Per Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin live allows for all four members to take their turn in "steering the ship." In this manner, it's actually very generous to the other members and not selfish. What else can be said that hasn't already been said by thousands (millions?) of other Zep fans. This concert is tremendous and the level of musicianship is awe-inspiring. And why wouldn't you want to see Jimmy at his height, playing his double-neck Gibson plus his famous Les Pauls! If you like rock music, you've got to have it.

Been into Zep since I was a kid.I remember back in 73 when Zep did this show at MSG in NYC. For years I was not happy with this. Thank god Jimmy Page decided to remaster and add the additional songs and a new 5.1 mix the way Zep played on stage. This is a must for Zep heads and a great look back at the mighty Led Zeppelin
