Mord, search out this: The Song Remains The Same - Fan Edition
My post from another forum.
Quote:
This is what the original TSRTS should have been! The 1973 MSG concert with the correct setlist and no in between songs crap or the long (and boring) drawn out intro.
Setlist:
Rock and Roll
Celebration Day
Black Dog
Over the Hills and Far Away
Misty Mountain Hop
Since I've Been Loving You
No Quarter
The Song Remains the Same
The Rain Song
Dazed and Confused
Stairway to Heaven
Moby Dick
Heartbreaker
Whole Lotta Love
The Ocean
Whoever spent the time to put this together should be applauded. It's a real Zep concert instead of the ill-conceived patchwork concept crap of the original TSRTS.
The only two downsides are that the bands fantasy sequences are still included within the 4 songs (No Quarter, TSRTS/Rain Song, Dazed, Moby Dick) but they work much better in the context of the entire concert than they do in the original movie.
And the horrendous cut in The Rain Song is still there. I wish Warner Brothers would turn over all of the master footage to Page so he could fix this once and for all.
Even though this was at the end of the long 73 tour, and the band themselves regarded the shows to be just average, this really shows why Zep in 1973 were considered the greatest live band in the Galaxy. Bonham and JPJ flat out wail during the improv sections and Page is on fire, without any of the sloppiness that would mar many of the 75 and 77 shows. There's a few flubs here and there but for the most part the guy freaking ROCKS the entire show.
***** out of *****!
