Editorial Review:
The line forms here for the world’s greatest and possibly most influential band – Led Zeppelin! With Dazed and Confused, Stairway to Heaven, Whole Lotta Love and more signature performances, this mesmerizing movie built around Zep’s famed ’73 NYC concerts is convincing proof why. Band members supervised the Re-mastering and Dolby 5.1 Re-mixing of the film’s image and sound. In addition to their performances, fantasy sequences and at-home glimpses of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and the late John Bonham, this 2-disc Special Edition has over 40 minutes of newly-added extra features including: Two (2) never-before-released songs in rare performance footage: Celebration and Over the Hills and Far Away; Vintage TV Footage: Drake Hotel Robbery during the New York Concert Stand; Robert Plant BBC Interview and Tampa Concert Band Arrival. Also available in Hi-Def and Blu Ray!
Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains the Same (2 Disc Special Edition) Reviews:
One of the best! 
2009-12-03 - This is truly one of the best musical dvd's you can buy, not only is it Zeppelin but the footage/film here goes with the music so perfectly like no other band since. This is pure magic and shows why Zeppelin even to this day is the greatest band ever.
Like Zeppelin? Well then of course you should see this movie. 
2009-11-08 - For Zeppelin fans a review is unnecessary. For those just discovering the band here's what you need to know. Should you see it? Definitely. Should you buy it? Depends. It helps to know the studio versions first since many of the songs from the concert use the studio version as a jumping off point for long sonic explorations and solos.
The high points: The music is very good and has aged quite well in my opinion. I also enjoyed the backstage scenes and the segments of the various goings on with the fans, the band, and the crew members. The scene where manager Peter Grant confronting the venue manager over a man selling pirated photos of the band comes to mind, or the garage scene where security lets in a group of surprised and appreciative fans that don't have tickets. These are very reminiscent of scenes from The Grateful Dead Movie and offer a wider perspective of the whole concert experience.
What does not work... are the fantasy scenes of each band member played against the backdrop of songs associated with them. To be blunt they are dated and cheesy. And so are their outfits, but that can be more easily forgiven. It was the early seventies! And last but not least, the sound it good and the video is surprisingly clear and clean for a show that was shot over thirty-five years ago.
All in all, if you find yourself liking this band and their music, this film is required viewing.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
2009-10-15 - I have always liked "Stairway to Heaven," but after seeing this video I can say I am a fan. In my youth I felt Led Zeppelin was too heavy metal. Now that I am alot older and wiser, I realize how talented each one of them are, and why they are fantastic together. Music was great! Recommend this video for everyone.
The best of Zep
2009-09-13 - This will be the easiest review I've ever done. This is the best Zeppelin concert ever captured on film BUY IT!!
Evocation on film !
2009-04-04 - Where to begin? This is FILM. If you can't tell video from film, you need to do some homework. This film shows Peter Grant, Roy Harper, the bands' families, many people whom have passed away, divorced, or just disappeared. If you don't know Zep well, this won't help, but if you understand Aleister Crowley, the arts, the seventies, and magic, this will click unlike the VIDEO TAPE of later items. Younger fans will probably not understand, but for those of us who WERE THERE, nothing like the real thing. May you find the occult experience and humor in this film rewarding, it's there, IF you have the eyes/ears for it.
