What happens
The Song Remains the Same is a 1976 concert film featuring the English rock band Led Zeppelin. The filming took place during the summer of 1973, during three nights of concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City, with additional footage shot at Shepperton Studios in Surrey. The film premiered three years later on 20 October 1976 at Cinema I in New York, on 21 October 1976 at the Fox Wilshire Theater in Beverly Hills, and at Warner West End Cinema in London two weeks later. It was accompanied by a soundtrack album of the same name. Promotional materials stated that the film was "the band's special way of giving their millions of friends what they had been clamouring for – a personal and private tour of Led Zeppelin. For the first time the world has a front row seat on Led Zeppelin." Fans drove up ticket sales, but many reviewers – as well as band members Robert Plant and John Paul Jones – disliked the film at the time of its initial release (1976), although in subsequent years critics warmed up to the movie and it now receives mostly favourable ratings from the public. A standard DVD of the film was released on 31 December 1999. A reissue of the film, including previously unreleased footage as a bonus, was released on DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-ray Disc on 20 November 2007, by Warner Home Video. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
