What was the name of the 1976 Led Zeppelin concert film?

The story behind the answer

The 1976 Led Zeppelin concert film was called The Song Remains the Same. It documents the band’s performances and backstage world during the height of its 1970s popularity, and it shares its title with the Led Zeppelin song and soundtrack album.

Most of the concert footage came from three performances at New York’s Madison Square Garden on July 27, 28, and 29, 1973. The film also includes staged fantasy sequences representing the four band members, which makes it part concert movie and part rock mythology.

The film was directed by Peter Clifton and Joe Massot and premiered in October 1976. Its accompanying soundtrack album was released around the same time. The title is often confused with the similarly named Led Zeppelin song “The Song Remains the Same,” which originally appeared on the 1973 album Houses of the Holy. The film’s release was delayed by production problems and additional studio filming.
