4.0 out of 5 stars
good restoration, March 28, 2008
This review is from: Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same (Limited Collector's Edition) (DVD)
This is great remaster
Previous released version "Dazed and Confused" "Moby Dick" was song cut and combined , that's uncomfortable
This restoration is good and no problem these songs
But one thing
"Rain Song" is alomost unchange although restored , why ?
Good remix 5.1 surround sound
Espacially , "Dazed and Confused" Jimmy's bow play
Front and rear sound clealy separated
entire all of movie sound is good too
This collector's edition add is interesting
Lobby card , small copy of movie poster , ticket and T-shirts
If you are Led Zeppelin huge fan that you should get this edition

The Songs Remain Too Lame (Heartbreaker!), March 10, 2011
This review is from: Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same (Limited Collector's Edition) (DVD)
Led Zeppelin was my favorite band in high school. Starting with
LED ZEPPELIN II, then back to their
first album and forward right to
IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR, I was your typical Zeppelin devotee. Had all the LPs and singles and always dropped coin in jukeboxes to hear a Zep tune.
And yet, due to radio overplay of its mediocre "Stairway to Heaven" performance, I avoided THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME (UK/USA-1976) while it was in theaters and never rented the videotape decades ago. So, "The Song" remained unseen, that is, until this afternoon.
I really wanted to like this concert film, I mean that, but have got to be honest here. It was interesting in spots, yet disappointing as a whole. I know, sacrilege! Hang the blasphemer.
But here's why, OK?
Robert Plant's voice was irretrievably, undeniably SHOT. He couldn't hit those soaring high notes and seemed a parody of himself, all slender and fem and with skintight hip-huggers that only teen girls wear these days. And what was it with those constant looking-up camera shots of his groin? (Yes, it's draped to the left. We get it.)
Everything went rapidly downhill during the John Paul Jones organ solo. This was followed by one LONG self-indulgent jam after another for nearly an hour. It was stultifying.
John Bonham's spotlight, Moby Plant's Crotch, was spoiled during his hands-only playing by inconsiderate audience yowps and whistles. So was Robert's "Stairway to Heaven" solo. He also killed it himself though with pretentious "ad-libbed" comments like, "Does anybody remember laughter?" No. Never heard of it, Bobby.
Oh, those costume drama arsty-fartsy videos! feh
And why did these guys all look like
Spinal Tap to me?
I STILL love my Zeppelin albums. Just hate this movie, that's all. Wish it were otherwise.
