Yep a bunch of us saw it at the midnight movies in the mid 80's

I like your introductions to your videos.

Fun fact, the first time I ever did LSD, I listened to this, Physical Graffiti, right after Jimi Hendrix Are You Experienced and it was life changing to say the least. Jimmy had that influence in mind I'm convinced when he came up with any song.

I can watch your work all day. Your knowledge, effort, research, hard work and narrative just blows me away. I Love it. Please don't stop I'll be watching until the end.🙏

Brother I love your stuff so well researched and written. They deserve many watches to get it all 👍🏻 I remember where I was when the announcement about the movie came over the radio. I was driving on Harbor Blvd crossing over the 5fwy. It said they had a special sound system at the movie theater for the premiere I thought it was going to be the 1975 tour that had just happened. So when I saw the film and it was the 1973 tour I felt disappointed Hindsight 20/20,really ‘73 might have been a high point for Zeppelin Physical Graffiti is one of my fav all time albums but the whole music scene changed after 1976 even a little before ? The dominance of British music was over

What's your favorite copy/most unique copy you own? Ive always thought ITTOD never really got the recognition it deserves

This is the best channel on RUclips, thank you so very much my dear friend JCM!

First you do a great job man. I was 14 when this came out and already a major Zep fan. I knew nothing about them just there music. I lived to far away from any big cities to go see them and at that age I would not have been allowed to go anyways. This film came to my local theater in 1977 I was just blowin away and knew they where the greatest by far just from the film. Also from that moment I knew I want to play guitar. Thank you Jimmy and thank you JCM for these great and very informative documentaries.

Amazing video JCM. The release The Song Remains The Same was the beginning of my LZ journey. The theaters in Boston were jam packed. Crowds lined the streets waiting or just getting out of the previous show. Late showings were added to accommodate the demand. Your knowledge and passion for the world's greatest rock band is impressive! Thanks!

Man, you go deep with this stuff. Excellent work with the info, photos and finding the locations.

Can't tell how many times I've listened to the boot of night 1. Thank you for this retrospective. Lastly, the opening credit sequence was amazing.

Quite a long backstory. 😢 7:37 in, before the making begins.

The Roxy Theatre in the Danforth area of Toronto played this pretty much every weekend in the early 80s. My high school actually screened it for the school in 1979. It's one of those things that you had to be there to really appreciate your documentary.

Those of us who have come to know your dedication and intensity, will appreciate the passion that gave you the "Kennedy Centre moments" ....... I felt it man. Also, the "all" or "nothing" method to deal with complainers, who don't understand, was GOLD! You go to extraordinary lengths to provide ALL of the information ...... the record of events, social mood, timelines, stage attire, that sets the vibe for the era ...... an era some will remember and be very nostalgic about, thanks to you. Yes, at times it may seem tedious and I'm sure the compilation of it is too, but it is ALL the information available. A full record, set in RUclips stone, for the ages. I appreciate it.

I think robert plants high range started to diminish in late 72 .he still sounds good in Australia 72 and long Beach California 72

I turn 60 this year. I hope that particular collection turns 60 this year as well. With a Zep ear I can hear calousalambra😂 in the classical piece in this video.

Celebration day no John Bonham not worth watching also hairway to Steven the worst zep song ever. 🤪

Another great one JCM 👍 Roy Harper is wearing t-shirt with Mikołaj Kopernik graphic, very similiar to one from 1000 złoty banknote from Polish People Republic period. You can see this t-shirt also during the concert.

At 40:33 I believe that Plant's dog Strider shown here is the "blue-eyed Merle" mentioned in the lyrics of Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, and that Merle is the breed of his dog.

This is another great one, Jose! Thanks for your exhaustive research on all things Zeppelin, it is much appreciated. Looking forward to episode 2! 😃

51 years later I can still remember the atmosphere and feel inside the hall that night. I was at the 3rd show of Zep's 3-night stand at MSG, NY. July 29, 1973. Amazing show that I never forgot.

I am in awe of your work. You are easily one of most well-read, well-spoken person and you give a well-rounded look at this band. I grew up near Ken Burns and you are that level of talent. I would listen and support anything you made as you are an amazing historian as well.

You rule JCM! Thank you 👊😎

Great documentary, I remember seeing this as a teenager in a movie house in a seedy area in downtown Toronto. They played it weekly for many years, always a packed house.

One more thing. Rolling Stone mag dedicated to Zeppelin blew off TSRTS as a gap fill. For Zeppelin fans after 1980. This was the only venue we got to see our heroes the Internet.

Wow. I'm in rehab for drug dependency. I was watching TSRTS and watched the TSRTS and The Rain Song. The Rain Song came on and I was washed over in emotions and I started crying at the beauty of the song. Serendipity and or Synchronized ? It's Beautiful anyway. Enjoy your deep dives.

Apparently the last waltz was another film to be shot in Lush 35 millimetre by Martin scorsce , that was 1976 another good film❤

Thanks for all your hard work🎉 I saw the film in 1976 in the West End London, have watched the DVD so many times, any guitarist worth his salt is mesmerised by this film, Led Zeppelin hitting their straps at the garden 73! Awesome!❤

Oh, the damn time zone! I'm just now watching this. Popcorn and cold beer 🍿🍺 and here we go. “JCM Productions presents…” (at this point I imagine Jose roaring and I hear that MGM song) 😂 what a wonderful job you are doing Sensei! I felt tired and stressed just watching the boys coming and going, the life of a rockstar is not for weaklings and amateurs, a lot of time in hotels and planes 😮‍💨✈️🏢 the first time I watched TSRTS was on DVD, after all that was long before I was born, but the oldest members of the family watched it at the cinema, they had seen Zeppelin in 1971 and 1972, I can imagine their excitement, I wish I had seen it too. Thank you for this great episode Jose, waiting for the next chapter, take care, see ya 👋 (a brief naughty comment: I laughed a lot at the point where you refer to Plant’s anatomy, the first time I watched I was a child and didn’t pay attention to it but a few years later, as a teen, it was the subject of many jokes among my friends 😂 and when I see excerpts of TSRTS on RUclips I can’t resist making some provocations, oh Plant you shameless man 🤣

NOTE FOR ALL: At 30.19 the fans shown outside are talking to B.P. Fallon not Benji le Fevre, my mistake! hope you enjoy the episode!

What many people today don’t realize is that when the movie was first released it received mainly poor reviews. I can remember one reviewer writing that the way the band and Grant portrayed themselves in the film only merits “contempt”. It was only over the years did it, like Zeppelin, establish it’s iconic status.

8:48 lol, it’s the reason to watch these in depth videos!

Lovely idea. Used to regularly see The Song Remains plus Easy Rider in a double bill at the Roxy in soho London. Smoking (quite literally) all the way through!

this is more cohesive and comprehensible than the darn movie, honestly

Holis! I'm at 13:02 and had to stop the video because I realised something.. you've shown a photo of Julio Cortázar where you talk about Joe Massot. Google has tricked you on this one! Saludos desde Australia and keep up the great work ❤

Thanx Jose, for your great attention to detail in documenting What is and will be the Greatest Rock Band of our time ever. LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹

Also read somewhere south Hampton was almost the concert of choice. It was professionally recorded by Eddie Kramer

I watched this every day for prob 5 years straight

Dude you are really good at what you do.

Thanks again Jose, I’ve watched a lot of your videos, but this is my favorite so far. Here in Sacramento a local radio station KZAP (back then our local free-form ROCK radio station) used a small, local, independently owned movie theater called the Towne Theatre to show what they called “The Midnight Movies” each Saturday night, at, you guess it, Midnight (fun fact, the Towne Theatre also showed XXX movies at one point). This is where I saw “The Song Remains the Same” for the first time, and like you, I was blown away. We returned every Saturday night to watch it again until they changed films (I forget how many times we saw it). And as I mentioned in a previous comment on your 1977 Tempe episode, I saw Led Zepplin play at Tempe in July of 1977, then saw them play again at Oakland Day-on-the-Green a week later. And I remember during the film telling my buddies who only saw the band in Oakland, “The show in Tempe was inside and I saw that show (you see as the name implies, Day-on-the-Green concert was during the day, there was no light show at the concert). My local buddies did not travel to Tempe with me… So again your episode brought back some awesome memories for me, thank you, I can’t wait to hear the rest of the story. Keep on posting, Rich in Sacramento.

In '77 Ahmed Ertegun should have let them do their solo albums. Then maybe, when they decided to work together again, they would have come up with something better. The Memoirs suite, and Canario are good, and All I want is You is passable, but the others are just bad.

The story of the screening and research with your dad is incredibly moving. And the Curb Your Enthusiasm drop! I about fell off my chair 😆

An excellent episode, thank you JCM.

This is perhaps your greatest work of all JCM! Thank you so much for all your efforts. I've seen every one of them. Altogether, it may be the most complete documentation of the history of Led Zeppelin. One can eventually picture it as a college course. I loved your opening. It reminded me exactly of my first viewing of the movie The Song Remains the Same. It was a midnight show at a local movie theater. I was a senior in high school, and it was also cool for the fact that I got permission from my parents to stay out after 12:00 AM! I went with two of my buddies, one of whom initially turned me on to LZ. My parents actually had somewhat of a reason for concern, as we were drunk and stoned out of our minds! I had never seen LZ before and had no idea what they even looked like, which is a testament to what Jimmy Page said as the reason for the movie. One thing that stood out to me was how fast Jimmy Page played the guitar. It just blew me away. Another thing that came to mind was that they reminded me of professional athletes. It was very physical. The energy and the power they put out was incredible. It is great to know all of the behind-the-scenes stuff that went on. Thank you again!

I first saw Song in the mid 80s at a midnight showing at the Churchville cinema in suburban Maryland, about 35 minutes north of Baltimore. My good friend (and future best man) Brooks and I snuck out of his basement bedroom window and trudged a half a mile through the forest in the middle of the night before arriving at the strip mall where the theater was located. We snuck back through the darkened forest at 3 in the morning after having our minds blown (and me nearly being kicked out of the theater for stupidly lighting up a cigarette). Snuck back into the house through the same basement window. Brooks’ parents never suspected a thing. 😊

Dear JCM, can you please tell us why you always insist on always altering the footage by making it blurry and changing the colors? This editing technique of yours makes your Led Zeppelin documentaries virtually unwatchable. There have been many times when I have started watching your Led Zeppelin documentaries with the hope that you have stopped utilizing this horrible editing technique but, for some unknown reason, you keep using it and it forces me to stop watching the documentaries after only a couple of minutes because, the viewer is challenged to understand the footage that they are actually watching when it is altered, blurred and color changes are taking place. Absolutely horrible production choices on your part. I hope you can refrain from making these insanely annoying production choices in your future Led Zeppelin videos.

Another fantastic job.........very well done!!! I can't help but mention: although Bonham's hot rod Ford used in movie scenes may have been a Ford, however, if ya look at the engine closely, you can see the all-too-common small block Chevy transplant. The dead giveaway proving it's a Chevy small block, is the center 2 Siamese exhaust ports as evidenced by the exhaust headers........which means the 2 center exhaust ports are very close together.......NOT equally spaced apart with the other 2 exhaust ports like other engines, including Ford. It goes to show how even back in the early 70's, the legendary smallblock Chevy was by far, the most popular engine transplant into other makes, especially Ford's.........and this continues to this very day with both the old-school "malaise era" smallblock Chevy, as well as the Chevy LS engines. Not to go off in the weeds here, but for anyone into American V8's the old school small block Chevy is actually a better choice for any race engines built to produce over 750 HP, because it has 5 headbolts per cylinder, which ensures a much more reliable head gasket seal. The newer Chevy LS engines only have 4 headbolts per cylinder, like the Ford's do, ( the LS heads are a near csrbon copy of Ford heads ), and both the Ford and Chevy LS engines often blow head gaskets much easier with engines producing over 750 RWHP.....especially when building them with forced induction to produce 1200 to even 1600 hp. The DART version of the Chevy smallblock is far more durable, and can handle the higher power with a much reduced risk of blowing head gaskets.

Thanks brotha

Don’t be surprised if your attention to detail leads to an overture from Page himself. He appreciates that kind of thing. Well done as always.
