Led Zeppelin-Song Remains the Same (1976)

"This is just one of those films which every fan of rock n' roll ought to own...a fantastic film...  Adam R. Parr, DVDork.com
"...the heavy metal onslaught is intercut with lavish psychedelic effects, New York by night, seedy backstage wrangles, and five fantasy sequences.  Time Out Film Guide

The best of Led Zeppelin's legendary 1973 appearances at Madison Square Garden. Interspersed throughout the concert footage are behind-the-scenes moments with the band. DVD Verdict 8 of 10
A cult classic of midnight movies and laser shows from the '70s comes to DVD. While not the best work of Led Zeppelin, it's the only live concert footage we have, and it's pretty good. A dizzyingly surreal mix of psychedelic effects, fantasy sequences, scenes of home and family, and a 1973 concert at Madison Square Garden, it begs the question "What the heck were we wearing back then?"...I do have to give this somewhat of a reviewer's tilt for nostalgia value. I think it's worth having, especially for Zeppelin fans, in fact for those it's a must buy...If you consider this a documentary rather than as a concert performance, the ratings go up...Jimmy Page has recently stated that he thinks DVD is the format to use for unearthing their archives, and we can hope that better sounding recordings and concert footage will be forthcoming. - Norman Short
