Led Zeppelin were either the greatest live rock band ever or a bunch of pompous musos with a frankly adolescent fascination with witchcraft. Either way, they were a significant Rock 'n' Roll group, sitting between the electric blues bands and psychedelic rockers of the 60s and the heavy metal that was to come. Led Zeppelin's initial popularity was based as much on the band's concerts as its albums, and The Song Remains the Same, released in conjunction with the pseudodocumentary film of the same name, reproduces the very things that made Led Zeppelin concerts legendary. Lengthy solos intertwining interplay between Jimmy Page and Robert Plant and ridiculously long songs as "Dazed and Confused" is nearly a little over half-hour.
Led Zeppelin have always been my favourite band but since I saw this I have a whole new respect for them. After you watch this, you'll realize how good Jimmy Page really was, especially on the 25 minute Dazed And Confused where he played with a violin bow, it's crazy. Robert Plant was great but I think he could of sang a bit better. John Bonham's drum solo in Moby Dick is very impressive. And John Paul Jones plays the bass and keyboard very solidly.
A very good buy and definitely a must for all the ex and present rockers out there. You can never find another Led Zeppelin nowadays, that's for sure.
