Led Zeppelin’s monumental reissue campaign, which systematically brought their entire studio discography back to fans with meticulous remastering and previously unreleased material, culminated with a definitive new edition of **”The Song Remains The Same” soundtrack**. This classic live album, originally released in 1976 as the audio companion to their concert film, received a comprehensive overhaul, featuring **newly remastered audio meticulously supervised by the band’s legendary guitarist and producer, Jimmy Page.**
The latest edition of “The Song Remains The Same” soundtrack, released on **September 7, 2018**, marked the grand finale of a reissue project that began in 2014. This campaign aimed to present Led Zeppelin’s entire catalogue in the highest fidelity possible, often including a second disc of “companion audio” with unheard studio outtakes and live recordings. The re-release of “The Song Remains The Same” was a fitting capstone, focusing on the band’s live prowess during their absolute peak.
The original recordings were captured during Led Zeppelin’s electrifying three-night stand at Madison Square Garden in New York City in July 1973.

Notably, it also marked the full album’s debut release in **Hi-Res 5.1 surround sound on Blu-ray**, offering an immersive auditory experience that truly brought listeners into the heart of those legendary concerts.
This final phase of the reissue campaign not only celebrated the band’s incredible live legacy but also allowed for a renewed appreciation of their raw energy and improvisational brilliance captured during a pivotal moment in their career. With Jimmy Page at the helm of the audio mastering, fans were assured of the definitive listening experience for one of rock’s most celebrated live albums.
