Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains The Same Reviews

Disappointing but You Might Still Love It....

As a huge Zeppelin fan, reared on their studio albums, this is a little disappointing. That's just me - I happen to prefer the tighter, original versions of their songs.

I'm sure many will disagree - especially as the Led Zep legend was founded largely on their mammoth live shows. I did enjoy watching them in action, reinforcing that if the gods did come down to Earth to play music, they did so as Led Zeppelin - awesome live personas, all four of them.

Some Great Tap Moments

Oddly enough I saw this film the same week as Spinal Tap, sometime back in the 80s, which was probably just as well, as it allowed me to understand the Tap sequence where Nigel plays the guitar with the violin!

Any fan of Zeppelin will love some of the concert footage - Rock and Roll is excellent, for example. Some of the material has dated, but never mind.

Rent and remember.

rock n roll

This is a bizare mixture of backstage footage, sureal fantasy section and blistering live performances.Robert Plants voice soars and jimmy is just a god with the guitar. This a great introduction to a an influential rock bank who never released a single and who rarely let live footage be shown. Relying there fame to do with their music and music fans. Rent for nostalgia,or rent to see where liam got his swagger. Well worth an eve of anyones night. Oh and did i forget to metion stairway to heaven!!!!

5 stars then some more

A must for all Led Zep fans, brilliant picture and sound quality. Live performances second to none, backstage footage and gripping video sequences. The song remains the same is an all time great video.

FANTASTIC

This DVD like anything else by Zeppelin is fantastic - highly recommended!!!

A Must

......for the real fan!

Jimmy Page the legend.

See the review headline. This says it all,back in the days when a guitarist was a guitarist. From a time when songs were crafted from sheer genius, never to be rivalled again.

Zep at their height!

Superb stuff! If I had a time machine I wouldn’t go back to the major social political or religious events of the past I'd get me a list of gigs to see and travel with appropriate historical currency so I can get a T shirt. On that list would be Bob Marley’s 74 gig at the Astoria, Van Halen with David Lee Roth on their Fair Warning Tour, The Who at Leeds, Guns n’ Roses at Nottingham Rock City circa 89 and this gig by Led Zepplin at Madison Square Garden. Absolutely amazing to see 4 musicians taking their craft to and beyond the limit (man). Great to see their interaction on stage and although the drum solo is surprisingly crap from one of the best drummers that has lived, and unfortunately died, it was great to see.
