For Led Zeppelin fanatics, this 1976 feature The Song Remains the Same is a treasure of searing live performances, particularly welcome in light of the sad scarcity of such visual material from the band's great decade. Despite the group's road weariness after a long tour, their final, three-night stand at Madison Square Garden in 1973 was full of the old power. Performances of "No Quarter," "Whole Lotta Love," "Black Dog," "Dazed and Confused," and "Stairway to Heaven" underscore Zep's charisma. Trouble is, you don't get an unbroken performance here. Viewers have to wade through a mishmash of documentary insight into the lives of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones, as well as fantasy sequences supposedly inspired by the thoughts and fantasies of the band's individual members. It's mostly garish and silly, but there are some nice elements, especially insights into the late Bonham's life. The DVD doesn't offer much in the way of add-ons (a theatrical trailer is about it), but there is also enhanced viewing for 16 x 9 televisions. --Tom Keogh

记得几年前,热爱摇滚乐的我最常听的专辑就是《LED ZEPPELIN IV》,其中一曲Stairway to Heaven更是心中至爱。这首70年代的摇滚圣歌,在Jimmy Page的演绎下成为永世不朽的经典。他以清亮悠扬的分解和弦作为开场,若有若无地引导着旋律的进行,至高潮部分,失真效果拔地而起,气势滂薄直冲九霄却毫无盛气凌人之感,那至刚至强的和弦所流露出的激情与创意,让人一听之下立时为之绝倒! 一如上帝的降临,所表现的那种完美难以用言语形容! So Wonderful! …….
《GUITARIST》杂志在98年1月由读者选出了史上最佳的100段吉他SOLO,Jimmy Page有三首入榜分别是SINCE I’VE BEEN LOVING YOU、STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN和WHOLE LOTTA LOVE。
