The Song Remains the Same

I came to Led Zeppelin relativelly late in life, at the old age of 16 (old for a guy who was already becoming a (temporary) metalhead), due mainly to the conservative nature of my mother, who bought into the Christian propaganda that LZ was satanic, especially "Stairway to Heaven". Zoso, of course, was the first LZ album I bought, but when I found the '73 concert film from MSG buried behind a bunch of Duran Duran and Michael Jackson concert tapes in Video Depot in 1987, my life changed.

Funny, to think that many felt that this was not their best live work at all (Richard Cole even said so in his book, Hammer of the Gods) but until the creation of the internet and bootlegs that didn't cost $25 a freakin' CD but rather free thanx to filesharing and Torrents, this was the ONLY LZ concert I had access to, until Live at the BBC and How the West was Won was released. I still think the versions of "Since I've been Loving U", "No Quarter", and "The Rain Song" are the best I've heard so far. The funky visuals from the film, especially "Dazed and Confused", lend a lot as well.

This was grabbed from Utorrents as a FLAC file, which I converted to 320 kbps.








..."This is a song that takes in a manner our forefathers were very used to... The cosmic energy - everyone goes 'YEAH' - BASH!"

"I think this is a song of hope..."

Enjoy!
