I found a new channel on my cable over here a while back I didn't even know I had. Its called Palladia and only on the high def tier. They show concerts and videos all the time. The day I stumbled on it they were playing the song remains the same. It was great to see the whole thing for the first time in about 20 some years.

What can one say? 1973 was a great year for prog, but prog's influence was everywhere too. Houses of the Holy is my favorite Led Zeppelin album - probably because of it.

It's a shame they never played "In the Light" live, it would have made a fantastic opener.

We're Gonna Groove most certainly. I always liked that song a lot, especially the live version.
Yes I have been seen bashing Zeppelin here a lot, but that was only because I thought comparing him to Robert Fripp was absolutely ridiculous.

Here`s the Standard setlist Europe Leg of 1973 Led Zeppelin tour:
Rock And Roll, Over The Hills And Far Away, Black Dog, Misty Mountain Hop, Since I've Been Loving You, Dancing Days, Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp, The Song Remains The Same, The Rain Song, Dazed And Confused, Stairway To Heaven, Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker.
Later drop Heartbreaker and let the Whole Lotta Love be the closer.
On the american leg 1973 tour the set list was:
May 5, 1973 Tampa, Florida
Rock and Roll, Celebration Day, Black Dog, Over The Hills And Far Away, Misty Mountain Hop, Since I've Been Loving You,No Quarter, The Song Remains The Same, The Rain Song, Dazed and Confused, Stairway To Heaven,Moby Dick, Heartbreaker, Whole Lotta Love, The Ocean, Communication Breakdown.
But on the final night in MSG this was the set list:
(29 July 1973):
Rock And Roll/Celebration Day/Black Dog/Over The Hills And Far Away/Misty Mountain Hop/Since I've Been Loving You/No Quarter/The Song Remains The Same/The Rain Song,Dazed And Confused/Stairway To Heaven/Moby Dick, Heartbreaker/Whole Lotta Love/The Ocean/Thank You

Most of all the 77 tour The Songs Remains the Same was the opener.

Oh, that cool, on both counts (didn't notice it being in the poll options and wasn't aware of any concerts with that set-list; what tour was it?). But at least I was right about the TSRTS concert film.

Only the 1973 concert tour opening with "The Song Remains the Same" as documented by the video release by the same name. Or maybe we're just having a communication breakdown?
