although I haven't seen this film as many times as I would like,I hold it to be one of the jewels I possess.
anyway,it's very long (132 minutes),but then,it's short due to three night stand concert taken place at Madison Square Garden, New York.
I haven't bothered much with listening the soundtrack,since all of the songs are found on film,except "Celebration Day",yet some songs in the soundtrack are cut short!
the film,as well as the soundtrack represent their capability to make an outstanding show.some songs such as "Stairway to Heaven",and "No Quarter" i find better "executed" than studio versions.
improvizing on stage is just another indicator of their excellent teamwork.
final words - see and hear this masterpeace!

Zeppelin Fan (June 27, 2004)

The film was an abomination. The soundtrack was not Zeppelin at their finest by any means. It has always shocked me that Zeppelin would allow this film and soundtrack to be released. The whole shebang was an insult to one of the worlds greatest rock bands . Once it had been completed(film and soundtrack) I suppose they had no choice but to release it or lose a fortune, despite the fact it was awful. Peter Frampton(Comes Alive)literally blew this album out of the Water hands down, If Frampton could do it so incredibly well, why couldnt Led Zeppelin!?!?!? The answer to this question will forever remain a dissapointing mystery. Do yourself a big favor, save your money and buy 'Frampton Comes Alive' instead because honestly... Its God awful this album! and especially the movie.

Very satisfied with CD Set (April 3, 2010)

I bought this for two reasons: compared to the DVD, this CD has a more complete version of Whole Lotta Love, and Celebration Day is intact. This CD set arrived very quickly and in great condition, so I'm very satisfied with this transaction. I would buy from this seller again.

Classic Rock at it's Best! (November 4, 2009)

Having been born in the early 60's and rasied and came of age in the 70's (NHS Class of 79)this soundtrack brings me right back to watching the movie in a local theater with a bunch of friends. Many years have passed since then but music has always been my time machine being able to take me anywhere I want to go. To all of the younger folks this is a classic and worth having in your collection as it is and was the foundation for most all of the rock n roll currently being written and played. Check the bio of any current band and I am sure they will credit Led Zepplin for influencing them in some way shape or form.

Simply Amazing (June 2, 2009)

I heard "Rain Song" on the radio yesterday in my car and ended up sitting in the driveway for quite a while till it was done. Where had this Zep track I'd never heard come from? I'm not sure how many other people have overlooked this live album as something to be ignored. Well I've been rocking out to it ever since loading the MP3 tracks on my iPod. Definitely a winner!

the only band that counts (October 8, 2008)

in someways better than the inhanced version, check out the lead in celebration day. much better than enhanced,he was on that night

Zeppelin's first live album still rocks 32 years on (May 26, 2008)

Led Zeppelin's first live album which was the soundtrack to their movie The Song Remains the Same was released in October of 1976.
Many people complained about this album but the reasons for this and its off-shoot film was because of lead singer Robert Plant still being out of commission from injuries in a car crash in 1975 and a lack of a tour to support the band's 1976 Presence album (one of their best IMHO).
Guitarist Jimmy Page then flew to New York to mix the live shows, that the band performed in July of 1973 on its Houses Of The Holy Tour at Madison Square Garden, at Electric Lady Studios with engineer Eddie Kramer.
What came out was a killer live album, as I found out when I first got the album on cassette tape on January 25, 1986 (one day after turning 10) and having seen the movie.
We begin side one with a spirited "Rock and Roll" which buries the studio version. Next we segue into "Celebration Day", which was not in the movie but is, a great rocker and even better live. Then we go into a spirited version of "The Song Remains the Same" which buries the studio version by a longshot. Next is "The Rain Song" which is actually longer on the album than in the movie but a powerful version.
Side two (or end of CD one) is a 27 minute version of "Dazed and Confused" which is somewhat different than the film version but just as good. The violin bow section was the best I ever heard. Also, the jam that goes on is amazing and it ends with a killer Page solo and a killer John Bonham drum solo at the end.
Side three (or first two tracks of CD two) begins with a 12 minute plus "No Quarter" which is slightly different than the film version and a bit longer as well but still a killer rendition. We follow with arguably the best version of "Stairway to Heaven" which is 11 minutes of majestic bliss and I can play this repeatingly.
Side four (or last two tracks of CD two) starts off with a killer version of "Moby Dick" which shows the late Bonzo behind his drum kit playing his heart out at the drum kit and tympani be it with drumsticks or barehanded! We end with a powerful "Whole Lotta Love" which is longer than the film edit as the film was missing the jam which had some references to the Houses Of The Holy track The Crunge. The theramin and Plant screaming section was superb with bass player John Paul Jones and Bonzo adding a great riff to it. Then the medley of Boogie Mama was excellent before going back to Whole Lotta Love and ending with Bonzo's literally "flaming gong" bashes.
When released, TSRTS soundtrack went to #2 on The Billboard album charts and went Multi-Platinum off the bat proving Led Zeppelin sold records on MUSIC and not image.
