Led-Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy

"The Song Remains The Same" Is The Opening Track From Led Zeppelin's 1973 Album Houses Of The Holy. The Song Features Furious Multi-Tracked Guitar From Jimmy Page Played On A Gibson EDS-1275 Double Neck 12-String During Live Shows And Vocals From Lead Singer Robert Plant. This Was Plant's Tribute To World Music Reflecting His Belief That Music Is Universal. The Song Was Originally An Instrumental Which Was Given The Working Title "The Overture" Before Plant Added Lyrics To It After Which It Temporarily Came To Be Known As "The Campaign" Before The Band Settled On The Title "The Song Remains The Same". In An Interview He Gave To Guitar World Magazine In 1993 Page Discussed The Song's Construction "It Was Originally Going To Be An Instrumental -- An Overture That Led Into "The Rain Song". But I Guess Robert Had Different Ideas. You Know "This Is Pretty Good Better Get Some Lyrics--Quick!" Laughs ... I Had All The Beginning Material Together And Robert Suggested That We Break Down Into Half-Time In The Middle. After We Figured Out That We Were Going To Break It Down The Song Came Together In A Day... I Always Had A Cassette Recorder Around. That's How Both "The Song Remains The Same" And "Stairway" Came Together -- From Bits Of Taped Ideas." Plant's Vocal Track Was Slightly Sped Up For The Album Release. Page Played Overdubs With A Telecaster On This Recording And Also A Rickenbacker 12-String Guitar. The Band First Performed This Song Live On Their 1972 Japanese Tour. Bootlegs From This Tour Reveal That The Song Was Still Without A Settled Title With Plant Introducing It As "Zep" From The Stage At Tokyo. At Led Zeppelin Concerts From Late 1972 Through 1975 "The Song Remains The Same" Was Followed Just As On The Original Album By Direct Segue Into "The Rain Song". For This Live Arrangement Page Employed His Trademark Gibson EDS-1275 Double-Necked Guitar. "The Song Remains The Same" Would Be The Opening Song For The 1977 US Tour And 1979 Concerts Before Being Dropped From The Set List For The 1980 European Tour. The Song Was Also Performed At Led Zeppelin's Reunion Show At The O2 Arena London On 10 December 2007. "The Song Remains The Same" Was Featured On Led Zeppelin's 1976 Concert Film And Accompanying Soundtrack As Part Of Lead Singer Robert Plant's Fantasy Sequence. The Title Of The Song Was Used As The Title Of Both The Film And The Album.
