Song Remains the Same album Product Description
Song Remains the Same album by Led Zeppelin was released Nov 20, 2007 on the Rhino (Label) label. Commonly dismissed as a disappointment upon its initial release, the soundtrack to Led Zeppelin's concert movie The Song Remains the Same is one of those '70s records that has aged better than its reputation -- it's the kind of thing that's more valuable as the band recedes into history than it was at the time, as it documents its time so thoroughly. Song Remains the Same songs Of course, that time would be the mid-'70s, when the band was golden gods, selling out stadiums across America and indulging their wildest desires both on and off stage. Song Remains the Same album It was the kind of excess that creates either myth or madness, and this 1976 live album -- comprised of highlights from their three shows at Madison Square Garden during July 1973 -- has its fair share of both, as Zeppelin sounds both magnificent and murky as they blow up songs from their first five albums to a ridiculously grand scale. This is not the vigorous, vicious band documented on the subsequently released live BBC Sessions or the majestic might of the 2003 live album How the West Was Won and its accompanying eponymous DVD, where the band still sounded tight even when they stretched out for 20 minutes. Song Remains the Same CD music is a 3-disc set with 15 songs. ...See Full Description

| Super! I owned the cassette back in the 80's. Then bought the cd but way late but cool anyway. Always loved "No Quarter" which i think was the highlight off the original release. This deluxe edition now adds more which makes it a way more complete listen of the TSRTS album. By foolintherain (rainy, USA) |
| Worth the wait! The remastered version is amazing! The tracks that are added from the original Madison Square Garden shows are a real treat because some are not to be found anywhere else like "Celebration Day". Its amazing how Jimmy Page pulled this song off live! My only complaint is the way they butchered the "No Quarter" solo. On the original TSRTS recording that solo told a story. There was a beginning, a middle and an end which was dynamic and just plain rocked. The new version on the remastered disc is obviously chopped up and lacks the power of the original version. I would recommend this CD to anyone. Just enjoy "The Song Remains the Same/The Rain Song" live and remember this is live with no overdubs and you realize why Jimmy Page was constantly voted Best Guitarist in music publication back in the day.

| garden tapes guy, get a life.... so there's some editing on the live album...who the hell cares, name a me a live album that is'nt edited..the main thing is the remastered version with the extra tracks is unbelievable, zeppelin in all there glory, druga and all...if u want a live cd to rip for being edited try, judas priest unleashed in the east and thin lizzys live and dangerous...those 2 albums are like studio albums with crowd noise, just terrible...and lets face it the best live metal cd ever is without a doubt ufo's strangers in the night...so garden guy..take a bong hit, relax and enjoy zeppelin like the rest of us.

| learning a lot i have always known that the original album contained cuts and edits, and was at times considerably different from the film, which also contained edits. some are noticable while others are seamless and difficult, if not impossible to detect. but at the suggestion of a previous reviewer, i visited the garden tapes website, and became aware of quite a number of edits and splices that i had never known about before. it's really quite facinating, and i would suggest that any fan check it out. but in the end it really doesn't matter, only the finished product matters, and the finished product is wonderful. both the original, and this remaster are just wonderful.

| The lone time capsule. This was the first album i ever owned back in 1980,my introduction to led zeppelin and the rock world.Listening to songs like stairway to heaven,rock and roll and rain song brought me back in time.No quarter is hypnotizing,page's solo brings the tune to new heights.I never get tired of listening to this album.Imperfect but full of soul,capturing the band's exhausted but amazing performance at Madison Square Garden.Tunes like since i've been loving you,the ocean and heartbreaker,which were excluded in the original album issue are here.What more could you ask for?
