The Song Remains the Same and The Rain Song remixes (3:00) with Robert Plant's Fire And Sword and Capturing The Castle scenes from The Song Remains The Same 1976 concert film. Both Led Zeppelin songs are from the album Houses Of The Holy and were live during the summer of 1973 at Madison Square Garden concert in New York City. Led Zeppelin band members are Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham and John Paul Jones. Led Zeppelin movie was reissued in 2007 by Warner Home Video. The original film The Song Remains The Same premiered for movie theaters in October 1976 at Fox Wilshire, Los Angeles and at Warner West End Cinema in London.
Ultimate Classic Rock ranks 'Houses of the Holy' (1973) #4 on its list of the greatest Led Zeppelin albums, behind #1 Led Zeppelin IV, #2 Led Zeppelin II, and #3 Led Zeppelin III.
Fresh off 'IV,' Led Zeppelin was clearly in the mood to stretch its legs. The result is a project as ambitious as any the group ever attempted. Of course, that remains its blessing and curse. Dotted with songs both unusual (the anthemic expanse of 'The Rain Song,' the strange sensuousness of 'No Quarter') and approachably fun, 'Houses' tended to anger those who wanted them to remain in a heavy-rocking box. Expectations aside, though, it showed there was nothing Led Zeppelin couldn't do. Unfortunately, its proximity to 'IV' likely doomed it from the start, and it's simply not as cohesive."
