The Song Remains the Same is the soundtrack album of the concert film by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. The recording of the album and the film took place during three nights of concerts at New York's Madison Square Garden in 1973, during the band's Houses of the Holy tour. All songs were recorded by Eddie Kramer and later mixed at Electric Lady Studios in New York and Trident Studios in London
The album was released on September 28, 1976, by Swan Song Records. The sleeve design depicted a dilapidated movie house based on Old Street Studios in London, used by the group as a rehearsal theatre prior to its 1973 tour.
The film includes "Black Dog", but not "Celebration Day". The soundtrack album includes "Celebration Day", but not "Black Dog". The film also includes "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 feature on the album. Of the songs that both the album and the film have in common, some of the recordings featured on the album are of different performances from those in the film. Other tracks which were recorded, but omitted from both the film and the soundtrack album, include "The Ocean", "Misty Mountain Hop" and "Thank You". A comprehensive study of the sources of the album and the edits is available at The Garden Tapes.
