@scottkasper6378 SRTS, it was all fake! Then compare Live At Leeds from 1970. One real show, one recording, no clean up in the studio for 2 years by Pete Townshend. Considered the greatest live album by the world's greatest live band.

[@jdevine42]

That was a GREAT summer. I was at all 3 of these MSG shows. I used to have my ticket stubs glued to my TSRTS Album cover but alas all that is now gone and now nobody believes me. For $10 we coped the cheapest nosebleed tix available (dark blue ticket stub for upper mezzanine) for the first 2 nights but wandered around before the show started and found a small empty press box that fit 5 (it even had a table to place typewriters on) in the loge area about 10 rows up from the 25th row of the orchestra seats. We never got bothered by any ushers and spent the entire show in these GREAT "seats" for both nights. On the 3rd night I had to scalp a ticket ($15 OUCH!) and again went back to that little press box but it was occupied by a film crew so we just sat on the stairway right next to the box. Again, never bothers by anybody. Great nights to be sure BUT to be honest, the first time I saw them was in 1972 (How the west was won tour) at Nassau Coliseum and THAT show was beyond great, it was the only religious experience I ever had in my life. Thereafter I saw at least 2 shows from each of their subsequent tours through 1977 but 72 was the best show and 73 were my best seats.

Watched this movie in the movies multiple times, bought the vhs and dvd , watched that many many times . Loved the dvd because it had more music .

It was one of the best weeks I ever had ! Thank you for posting.

[@randallbates9020]

I gotta say that Page ripping on the 12 string for Song remains the Same the song is freaking amazing, he just shreds it, i also love dazed and confused especially how they threw in going to San Francisco, Page is just on fire there it almost looks impossible to play that fast and that well. I saw Page/Plant in 1995 in the Boston Garden, the last show ever played there before they closed it down, Plant actually mentioned that it was going to happen and said they would give us a night to remember, they played 21 songs that night finishing with Kashmere, Plant hit and held that note in the middle. I still have the No Quarter shirt that I bought that night. My ex wife and I had one of the best outings of our whole marriage that night, we were right beside Page just above the stage.

Despite this, I still love this movie, and the accompanying soundtrack. As others have mentioned, this was a standard midnight movie in the late 70's. I cannot count how many times I stood in line to see it.

[@wayneharrison6621]

John Paul Jones wore different outfits during the film. The producers told them to wear the same thing all three nights, but he and Jimmy Page wore different outfits. In the first two songs, Jimmy is wearing different clothes than the rest of the movie. During the Whole Lotta Love sequence, Jones' clothes change. I never knew about them redoing part of the movie on a soundstage, that's a new one for me. Still one of the best concert movies ever made.

[@daviddaemon]

About Page having longer hair in the Shepparton shots, an even more striking difference is Page’s jacket in the Rock n Roll opening (at least). The shoulders on his jacket are adorned with silver tassels, but no tassels appear in the live shots.

With repeated viewings I did notice that some things just seem off somehow. Then info like you gave here started to come out. That didn't bother me - it's a movie, after all... I had already known for awhile that at least parts of the music on live albums is fixed up more often than not. In person I saw them on '77 tour at the end of May in Maryland, just outside of DC. Somewhat erratic overall, but I was such Zep Head that didn't really bother me. For both the movie and the live show I saw, I was just loving the fact that it was Zeppelin live.

[@michaelh1832]

The movie is ok, it’s goofy, but TSRTS’ version of No Quarter is spectacular and Page’s improvised solo is, for me, the best ever. The way Page can sit on a note, or a few notes, building tension that then euphorically explodes with a cosmic rush of adrenaline and joy, is incomparable and unmatched.

[@randall9000]

Did you notice that the MSG version of No Quarter includes part of the solo from Achilles Last Stand from Presence, the album LZ were working on at the time.

[@davefieramosca6974]

The main reason it needed to be reshot, is that the initial filming was done in 16 mm. When the director started to look over the footage, it was grainy and looked bad. He wanted to edit using 35 mm film, but in order to make things work they had to refilm some of the concert footage. The audience shots are 16mm

[@scottrap]

Yep I’ve always known about this for as long as I can remember. Bonham also looks heavier during the soundstage clips, and he may have had a wig on as well because of shorter hair. A great deal of the footage seems out of sync with the audio and that’s really apparent with the close-up of Jimmy’s fingers on Since I’ve Been Lovin You

I saw it that first summer, as the tickets for the 77 tour were out of reach. Later, early 80s went to a couple of those midnight showings where the theater was packed. A great youthful memory that defies any shortcomings of the performance or filming. Meanwhile I've probably played the album a hundred or more times, especially sides 2 & 3, later had it on CD and finally the 2007 30th Anniversary re-issue of the actual soundtrack and DVD.

[@Greg-om2hb]

I will never forget the day I saw The Song Remains during its original theatrical release at a theater that had been equipped with a special, loud, sound system provided specifically for this movie. (This was long before Dolby theatre sound and the like.) I was too young at the time to go to a concert, and Rock music videos were not yet a thing, so I was thrilled, enthralled, and I sat through it twice. I read years ago an interview with Page in which he explained the interstitial film segments were created because, due to a lack of coordination between the different camera operators (shooting on film stock), there were long segments of performance with audio but were not captured on film. Those new vignettes filled in the gaps. I had never heard about the recreation of performance segments, but I had wondered how they captured the close ups when no cameramen are visible on stage in the wider shots. I’m a bit disappointed now.

Many concert films and live albums are filled with overdubs, reshoots, and complete reworking of material.

One of my all time live records, Judas Priests' Unleashed in the East should have been called Unleashed in the Studio. I've seen so much live concert footage where a guitar player or bass player will have their guitar change in the middle of a song, then change back. They start out with a black Les Paul, then magically switch to a red one, then back to the black guitar.

The scenes in the dressing room wear not in NY it was a few days earlier in Baltimore. The little Charles Manson lookalike guy getting chased and tackled by the cops was also Baltimore. The opening few seconds of Stairway with Page up close was MSG not Shepperton . I could go on and on .

Never knew that? Thanks! I’ll be looking at the hair next time I see it. Now that I’m older I’ll be more with it. If you know what I mean? 😂

certain scenes tend to bore me. for example during No quarter , and the boat scene ......but never had any idea the closeup shots were basically remade. thats really cool to know

I am 1/2 done with the video.... The first time I saw the Zepplin movie... I knew something was wrong... I felt it.. more than heard it.... even more then seeing it... almost... there was just something off....

The original soundtrack double album is the greatest album in rock history, period.

I always noticed that Jimmy's fingers didn't match the sound. Now it makes sense.

Midnight showings with this meant you all got home at probably 4:00 A.M.
