right-there Posted August 16 Author Share Posted August 16 This was the original DVD cover of the fan version/edition of TSRTS. The version I can send you a link for is an mp4 file with [tisdu] audio. These are the notes that accompanied the first release of the set, as put together by an online identity named 'Eckoes': "The Song Remains the Same is a concert film featuring the English rock band Led Zeppelin. The filming took place during three nights of concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City in the summer of 1973, with additional footage shot at Shepperton Studios due to cameramen's unacceptable work at the concerts. "The movie is a mixture of fantasy sequence depicting the band members and their managers, some documentary footage shot around the venue, and of course the songs. I've never been really satisfied with this movie, as the concert is constantly interrupted by something. My goal here is to try doing one complete uninterrupted concert out of all official footage available. "Be aware that this movie was badly edited at the time. Especially regarding the sound/visual synchro. I couldn't do much regarding to that, but many problems were fixed officially in 2007 by remixing the sound. Something I could do is creating segues between the songs, and restoring the correct playing order. By using every footage available, and careful audio editing, I think I managed to do some acceptable work. The concert now include every song, in the right order, and the music plays without any interruption. Once a song starts, it is the official edit. Between them is my work, trying to cobble together the various sources. "I used many sources for this, some of them were really hard to find: -The 2007 Blu-Ray, -The 2007 double DVD release, -The Led Zeppelin 2003 double DVD, -8mm footage from the concerts released by the band on Youtube, -An old VHS called "The First Cuts" from the late 80s I guess. -The official soundtrack from 1976 (Cd from the nineties) -The remixed soundtrack from 2007 (double CD)" So, Eckoes put in a lot of work to get as close as possible as he could to his ideal sound and vision of 'The Song Remains The Same'. I think he came pretty darn close, 'cept, of course' [tisdu] takes it a notch or so further performance-soundwise. If you'd like to doublecheck my opinion...

bcarter690 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I just downloaded this version, provided by the creator, 'right-there'. I wasn't going to watch it right away but I decided to see if anything jumped out. I skipped around and then went to 'Dazed & Confused' and I have to say the [tisdu] is definitely dynamic. Over the years, I've heard differing opinions on [tisdu], but I have to say, the sound had more depth to my ears. The video quality is very good. And it's nice to have the encore, 'The Ocean' included. A lot of work went into it and I'd definitely suggest checking it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
right-there Posted August 20 Author Share Posted August 20 Thanks, Frank. [tisdu] has been around for quite a few years now, and over all those years it's found fans and... not so fans. I feel the treatment comes into its own as video soundtracking. The extra depth in the DVD audio - I work and save files in 32bit/48000Hz - just gives that little more light and shade. And then there are the decibels. The video was originally compiled by another fan, as the previous notes outline. More power to them.
