“The Song Remains the Same” is the live soundtrack album
of the concert film of the same name by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. The
soundtrack was recorded 27–29 July 1973 and released three years later on 28
September 1976 on Swan Song Records.
The recording of the album and the film took place during three nights of concerts at New York's Madison Square Garden, during the band's 1973 North American tour. All songs were recorded by Eddie Kramer using the Wally Heider Mobile Studio truck, and later mixed at Electric Lady Studios in New York and Trident Studios in London.
Until both the album and the film were remastered and re-released in 2007, there were significant differences between the two in terms of the songs included on each. These differences were as follows:
The film included "Black Dog", but not "Celebration Day".
The soundtrack album included "Celebration Day", but not "Black Dog".
The film also included "Since I've Been Loving You", the introduction to "Heartbreaker", the instrumental "Bron-Yr-Aur" (which appeared on “Physical Graffiti”) and a hurdy-gurdy piece called "Autumn Lake", none of which were featured on the album.
Other tracks which were recorded at Madison Square Garden, but omitted from both the film and the soundtrack album, included "Over The Hills and Far Away", "Misty Mountain Hop", "The Ocean", and "Thank You".
