I am just learning about this, what is the time on the FULL version so I can look for it.
I have TSRTS 2018 remaster (?) and it clocks in at 10:38. Can someone steer me to full version? Many Thanks.Late to the topic, but besides No Quarter, on the original 1976 vinyl release the version of the track 'Celebration Day' is slightly different than what was released on the later version (mainly a vocal that's kept in near the vocal end, and a better guitar solo played to end the song).

THESE ARE SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT TO DO RE: THE MIGHTY ZEP, but here goes...
LZ I -- Black Mountain Side (great percussion on it, though)
LZ II -- Thank You (not terrible, just that at time of its release it seemed to sound a little past its time--but the fade out/fade in is cool)
LZ III -- Hats Off to (Roy) Harper (I do like this song; it's just the weakest track)
LZ IV -- Going To California (Dunno, just like the other songs better...)
Houses of the Holy -- D'yer Ma'ker (Even Jonesy said this was not well thought out. How do you not put on "THE ROVER" in its place?!! And don't give me that crap it wouldn't fit in musically! 🤨)
Physical Graffiti -- Down by the Seaside (great middle section, just 1 verse too many in it)
Presence -- Nobody's Fault But Mine (Yes, I know, how could I?? A good track--what a harmonica solo!!--but Jim's guitar solo here seems just 'okay')
In Through the Out Door -- (tie): All My Love [**but only because of the painfully crushing subject; when given more time Plant did it much better with Fate of Nations' "I Believe"**]; otherwise Fool in the Rain (mostly puts me to sleep but great middle section psycho samba thing!)

Excellent point. Love Louie Louie, never understood a damn word of the song outside the chorus and never cared. Figured the singer was wasted when they laid the track and the band thought, hmmm, sounds good, why not. BTW when that song's vocal is isolated and messed with to where you can understand the words, not a single bad word is found.
Silly FBI
Response here is over a year late 😝, but what the FBI really missed was when the drummer is picked up on mic as yelling "fuck" after incorrectly doing a drum fill. You can make up your own mind what he yelled, at around 0:53 of "Louie Louie," by the Kingsmen.

What does Robert Plant sing at the very end of the song? This little outro part is omitted from all the written lyrics I have seen, and I’ve never been able to make it out.
I believe that was discussed somewhere in this forum, and I don't recall what guesses were given, but to my lousy hearing it always sounded like Plant was chastising the people who are running around constantly, never taking a time out, when he (maybe) sang, "Don't they know that they're nowhere?" --like the old hippies used to say, as in, "You're nowhere, man,"--meaning you are not living your life in a good way.

Here's an awesome interview with Joe Jammer, American roadie/Guitar tech with Zeppelin, that Page brought back to England. I have a couple of Joe's releases, but I didn't realize he was so prolific as a session guy with a lot of help from Jimmy and Peter. Some fascinating stuff I'd never heard before in here.
I've had the luck to meet the legendary Joe Jammer several times--always a great guy! AWESOME GUITARIST. AWESOME PERSON.

I always assumed it was John Paul Jones on keyboards recreating the orchestral sounds for Friends and Kashmir. Or was it an actual orchestra on each song? If so, what orchestras/string sections performed on them? (and... why no credit?).
Rock on...

Just happened to have my Zep tunes on a shuffle, and after Out on the Tiles played, it went into Four Sticks and I ALMOST (I wrote A L M O S T) thought it was a similar sounding song. I was just wondering if maybe the end section of OOTT was a future springboard for Four Sticks?

If you know this album, you'll enjoy the subtleties added to its sound on the new** re-mix of Pink Floyd's 1977 album "Animals".
**A lot has been made of the fact that the re-mix was finished in 2018 but not released until now (September 2022) because, well, David Gilmour and Roger Waters couldn't decide on wording in the newly included liner notes. I'm not going to go into what the argument was about as it's really not important in the long run.
This is an EXCELLENT sounding album!

Tipping in the UK isn't as common as here in the USA, and I imagine even less so back in the early 70's.
You are correct! As a thick Yank, I forgot about that! And, "I've been to London,..." so I should have remembered that!!

I swear: I was just about to post this question when I came upon a similar question about the cop/hoodie girl from TSRTS film!
But, just wondering if the messenger on the bicycle who delivered to Plant the "telegram" about "tour dates" had any backstory/comments?
And why the f--- didn't Percy tip him? 😄

VERY DIFFICULT for me...
TSRTS: Great! Yes, sped up vocals (possibly) but still a great song
RAIN SONG: I realize I'm in the minority about this song, but I find it somewhat boring. The Mellotron was used better later in the same year on Skynyrd's "Tuesday's Gone (With the Wind)"
OVER THE HILLS: Great listen on the headphones
THE CRUNGE: I love early '70s James Brown. This ain't exactly how the Godfather of Soul played, but I still found it Funky!!
DANCING DAYS: Fun song! Dirty little double-entendre with the 'tadpole in a jar' bit.
D'YER MAKER: Should have put "THE ROVER" on the album here instead!!!
NO QUARTER: Much better live, but still a great track
THE OCEAN: MY FAVORITE SONG ON THE ALBUM!
-
*with "boogie with stu" thrown in, for good measure:
- DANCING DAYS
- THE ROVER
- THE OCEAN
- HOUSES OF THE HOLY
- THE CRUNGE
-
OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY
----( if playing on Vinyl, flip over now : ) - THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME
- *BOOGIE WITH STU (yeah, from 1971, but hey, it fits!)
- NO QUARTER
- RAIN SONG
-
*BRON-YR-AUR (Hill of the Gold, or Golden Hill) so what, it's from 1970, but once again, it fits here : )
Hope your day is going good for you!

Except "Montreaux" it sounds like all single bass. As John Paul Jones said upon first hearing Bonzo play, "I fell in love with his right foot."
-
Enjoy with your ears, or in combo with your favorite beverage and/or herb:
SIDE ONE:
Rock and Roll
Misty Mountain Hop
The Battle of Evermore
Four Sticks
Going to California
Night FlightSIDE TWO:
Black Dog
Stairway to Heaven
Down by the Seaside
When the Levee Breaks* Boogie with Stu could have been saved for the Houses album, maybe as a replacement for D'yer Ma'ker
**Each side approx 26 minutes--vinyl could accommodate approx. 30 minutes per side, albeit at a lower volume -- but hey, Dylan did it with his "Desire" album, and "Dazed.." from the TSRTS soundtrack clocked in at about 27 minutes. (yeah, i know, whaddabout the track separation? ...like I said, this is fantasy!)

Several reasons explain why Led Zeppelin probably wasn't included in the documentary.
Zep didn't seek out the press, nor performed on talk shows (hence, lack of live video footage), nor granted interviews for anyone who asked. They weren't mainstream. You wouldn't see Robert Plant or Jimmy Page being interviewed on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
At the time, most of the Zep fanatics were mainly (but not all) teenage boys. Not too many 20-something women fans of Led Zep back in the day.
Besides the fourth album being released near the end of the year (Nov. '71), Zeppelin didn't get played much on those American airwaves on radio stations we'd now call adult-oriented rock (AOR) stations. Artists like Carole King, Elton John and even Sly Stone, etc., got much more airplay on those stations.
The only song that would have gotten the most play would have been Black Dog.
And I'd argue that it took a several months for Stairway To Heaven to catch on with the overall public.

Happy Belated Birthday Jimmy!
(this photo gave me a chuckle; even in becoming a mature age, Page is still out to destroy the competition!!
)

Thank you, Sam. That would explain the few parts I didn't remember seeing before, like I don't remember Bonzo putting on gloves before taking off in the dragster; maybe it's just early dementia on my part!

Hi,
Now, I've seen The Song Remains The Same movie since its original release in 1976, then several midnight showings, then the videocassette, then the DVD, then the "collectors edition" released in 2007 (with the free t-shirt, man!).
In the movie, after the Peter Grant gangsta thang, the doves return again, but in my DVD copy it is REPEATED (at the 4:28 mark) where G and Richard Cole exit his mansion (Horselunges?) in full gangster regalia--but then a few seconds later, the movie goes to "modern day" where G is making phone calls to set up the tour.
Does anyone else have this on their 2007 version?
Rock and roll and the stroll...

That's fantastic, and I'm not an ITTOD fan. I love the ad-libbing at the end (w/In the Light).
And "I'm Gonna Crawl" playing over the bar PA system at the very beginning of the video. Brilliant!

Strange that no one is mentioning the name of the band, "Creed Bratton und die Hausfrauen aus der Hölle."
🤗 Creed Bratton! Hausfrauen aus der Holle!! TOO FUNNY!!

For context, the soon-to-be-famous Woodstock music fest had just ended three days prior to this photo--at which Zep did not perform. Manager Peter Grant said, "I said no because at Woodstock we'd have just been another band on the bill."
