The regrettable mistake Jimmy Page made on ‘The Song Remains The Same’.

Everybody makes mistakes, even the leaders of world-famous rock and roll bands. From their inception in 1968, Led Zeppelin were firmly on the upper echelon of British rock and roll. As their discography progressed, that reputation only increased, with guitarist and songwriter Jimmy Page regularly lauded as an almost otherworldly musical genius. In what might come as a relief to us ordinary folk, though, even Page was capable of making a few mistakes from time to time, as is evidenced by the existence of the concert film The Song Remains The Same.

Filmed in 1973, when Led Zeppelin took New York’s Madison Square Gardens by storm, the film forms a fascinating account of the band at, arguably, their most successful and interesting period. During the early 1970s, the hard rock style that Page and Zeppelin first introduced had not yet been mastered by many other artists, so the London group was able to set the tone for many future generations of rock artists. Their Madison Square Gardens shows were both representative of their awe-inspiring live shows and the incredible originality of their musical material, but the concert film didn’t quite go to plan.

Given the fact that Led Zeppelin fostered such a legendary reputation, releasing a basic, run-of-the-mill concert film would never have washed. Instead, the band supported the New York footage with extra material recorded at Shepperton Studios in Surrey.

Perhaps the most intriguing and contentious moments within The Song Remains The Same come with the various fantasy dream sequences that are interspersed with the concert footage. These segments regularly and rightly draw criticism for being unnecessary, pretentious, and self-indulgent, but that is not the reason Jimmy Page regrets filming them.
