Led Zeppelin’s “The Song Remains The Same” Soundtrack To Be Reissued With New Remastering Supervision By Jimmy Page

Led Zeppelin was at the peak of its powers on July 27-29 1973 when the band’s performances at New York’s Madison Square Garden were recorded for the concert film, The Song Remains The Same. The soundtrack to the film, produced by Jimmy Page, was originally released on Swan Song in 1976.

The band continues revisiting their live canon on September 7 with a new edition of the soundtrack to THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME that features newly remastered audio.  This release follows the recent reissue of their live album How The West Was Won, and rounds out the deluxe reissue series of their classic albums that began in 2014, building to the band’s 50th anniversary celebration slated to commence later this year. Coincidentally, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page, and Robert Plant played their first live show together, under the moniker “The New Yardbirds” at the time, on September 7, 1968.

THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME will be released in multiple formats from Atlantic/Swan Song, including the full album’s debut in hi-res 5.1 surround sound on Blu-ray. The Super Deluxe Boxed Set will be the most exquisite and elaborate release in the reissue series, recreating the intricate embossing of the set’s original issue and will also mark the first time the full length film and soundtrack have been available in the same package. On the 4-LP set, Page made a change to the track sequence, allowing the epic, 29-minute version of “Dazed And Confused” to be featuring in its entirety on one side of vinyl for the first time.

  • CD – Remastered audio on two CDs, plus 24-page booklet.
  • Vinyl – Remastered audio on four 180-gram vinyl LPs, plus 28-page booklet
  • Blu-Ray – 96kHz/24 bit 5.1 (DTS-HD Master Audio Surround) and stereo mixes

  • Streaming & Digital Download – Remastered audio.
  • Super Deluxe Boxed Set
    • Remastered audio on two CDs and four 180-gram vinyl LPs.
    • Two DVD set of the The Song Remains The Same featuring the full theatrical version of the film plus bonus content including four performance outtakes that were not part of the original film:  “Celebration Day,” “Over The Hills And Far Away,” “Misty Mountain Hop,” and “The Ocean.”
    • DVD of the entire album in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and PCM Stereo, plus photo gallery.
    • High-def download card of all stereo audio content at 96kHz/24 bit.
    • A 28-page book featuring band photos and stills from the film and an essay by Cameron Crowe.
    • A replica of the Japanese program from 1977, previously available only when the film first toured cinemas in that country.
    • High-quality print of the original album cover, the first 30,000 of which will be individually numbered.

THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME is the soundtrack to the legendary concert film of the same name, which was released in 1976. The performances in the film were recorded July 27-29, 1973 at Madison Square Garden during the band’s tour for its then-current studio album, Houses Of The Holy. The two-CD and four-LP collections are packed with electrifying live versions of Zep classics like “Rock and Roll,” “Stairway To Heaven,” “No Quarter,” “Moby Dick,” “Dazed And Confused,” and “Celebration Day.”

Gorillaz Release New Track ‘Hollywood’ Featuring Snoop Dogg And Jamie Principle

Gorillaz have dropped ‘Hollywood’, today’s Hottest Record from BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac, and the latest track from upcoming new studio album The Now Now – out 29th June.

Following the previous three weeks’ reveals of Hot 100 charting single and #1 Global Trending Video on YouTube ‘Humility’ and tracks ‘Lake Zurich’, ‘Sorcererz’ and ‘Fire Flies’, Gorillaz have hit up fans with another album highlight: ‘Hollywood’ – the latest and last album cut to be made available prior to the release of The Now Now. Recorded as a demo in a West Hollywood hotel room whilst on tour last year, the track features special guest Jamie Principle – on tour with Gorillaz at the time – plus LA resident and longtime Gorillaz friend and collaborator, Snoop Dogg.

Gorillaz will play The Now Now live – for the first time – this weekend in Tokyo, Japan. Watch on Sunday, 24th June at 8pm BST to experience the show with a unique cominbination of sound and visuals. Streamed in collaboration with pioneering global platform Boiler Room, renowned for bringing music and cultural experiences to a worldwide audience, the stream will be available on demand for 24 hours only.

Meanwhile, Murdoc Niccals – the Gorillaz lynchpin currently incarcerated at HM Prison Wormwood Scrubs, London – has already exchanged over 8 million messages with #freemurdoc campaigners around the world from his perch inside ‘The Scrubs’. All part of Niccals’ ongoing plot to gather information behind his false imprisonment for smuggling…

With the help of a multi-platform chatbot, concerned fans can converse with Murdoc – via voice or text – to hear from the man himself on what exactly they can do to help him break out of prison to restore his rightful place in the band, alongside 2D, Noodle and Russel.

The Now Now is the new 11-track studio album from the World’s Most Successful Virtual Act. Produced by Gorillaz, with James Ford and Remi Kabaka, and recorded entirely at Studio 13, London in February this year, The Now Now is set for release on 29th June on Parlophone.

Patti Smith On The First Time She Heard Bruce Springsteen’s “Because The Night”

Patti Smith On The First Time She Heard Bruce Springsteen’s “Because The Night”

Patti Smith: Every day, Jimmy Iovine (helming his first album as producer with Smith’s third LP, Easter)would call me and say, “Did you listen to the song yet? I’d go, “Not yet, I will.” He’d call me at night. “What are you doin’?” “Nothin’, I’m writin’.” “You listen to the song? Put the song on!” “I will, I will, I will.” We were getting very close to finishing the record. He’d call me or talk to me in the studio, and I’d say, “I will, I will.”

We didn’t have any money. To make a long distance phone call then was really expensive. If you were making $32 or $40 a week, and your phone call was $7 or $15…  we only talked like, once a week. So Fred Smith (husband) was supposed to call me at like, 7:30, and I looked forward to his phone calls more than anything in the world. There wasn’t anything that could eclipse my phone call with Fred. 7:30 came; I guess something happened and he didn’t call… Time was going by and I just was beside myself. I couldn’t concentrate. As I was pacing around, I noticed that cassette sitting there. I can see it. It was a typical cassette. It might have said “Because the Night” on it — I think it did — in Bruce’s hand. I thought, “Okay, I’ll listen to the song.”

So I get my little portable cassette player, and I put it on, and I remember looking at it, just staring at this cassette player, waiting for the phone to ring… it’s in the key of A, my key; anthemic; great beat. I listen to it, and I remember it, all by myself, standing there. There are certain things in my past I can’t remember, but this I can remember second by second. I stood there, and I shook my head, and I might have said it out loud: “It’s one of those darn hit songs.”

I thought, “This is a moral dilemma for me: Here, he’s giving me a song that’s going to be very popular if I can deliver it. And so, thus, my first really popular song will be written by somebody else — or [someone] not in my band. Is that right?” It was because I didn’t have any sense of being a singer. Now I know that people sing other people’s songs all the time, but I was like, listening to Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Jim Morrison — people who wrote their own songs. I thought I was supposed to write my own songs, other than songs that I’m reinventing or interpreting. I thought, “Is this fair?”

Meanwhile, Fred hadn’t called me, so I sat there and listened to it over and over. Of course, it’s one of those songs where it’s an immediate song — it’s like the first time you hear a Smokey Robinson song; it’s like potato chips. You want to hear it over and over.

Director Brad Bird talks Incredibles 2, spies and superheroes

Director Brad Bird talks Incredibles 2, spies and superheroes

By: W. Andrew Powell, The GATE

Watching The Incredibles and Incredibles 2 before my interview with director Brad Bird, I was reminded just how much I appreciate the filmmaker’s choices, not just in his stories, but with his style and the personalities of the characters. Bird has an amazing gift for giving these characters depth and heart, and a feeling of reality, that we sometimes don’t see in live action films.

In both of the Incredibles films, Bird also focuses on storytelling that feels like a spy movie, rather than a superhero movie, per se. While he didn’t see the films as spy movies, however, those films did have a big impact on his career.

“I think that I was trying to figure out why I had that vibe in the first film,” Bird said. “I think it’s because when I was a kid, over the top fantasies, the best ones, were not superhero movies. They were kinda relegated to cheap animation and campy [shows]… like the Batman show with Adam West. The best representation of really over the top villains and great gadgets and impossible situations were spy movies. Bond and Man From Uncle and Mission Impossible and all of those kind of things had the evil villains and the great gadgets and the impossible worlds, but they were built around the spy thing.”

“So that just felt like I wanted it to have that feeling, because the most suspense that I was in, in those kind of movies, was spy movies.”

One argument, when Bird was growing up, even led to a debate about an epic spy versus a major superhero.

“I remember arguing with a kid in my class,” Bird said. “It was an unfair argument, because my parents were cool enough to let me see these spy movies, which were a little more racy at the time than television. But I argued with this classmate of mine about who would win in a fight between James Bond and Batman. Not for one second that I didn’t believe that Sean Connery could clean Adam West’s clock.”

Incredibles 2 is out now in theatres, and once again Brad Bird voices the role of the always fantastic Edna Mode.

Have You Had A Cry Yet Today? No? Check Out Chris Cornell’s Daughter Paying Tribute to Her Father, With Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U”

Damn. Toni Cornell, only 13 years old, released an elegant and heartwarming tribute to her dad on Father’s Day, singing Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U,” a song Chris also performed live on many occasions. In her post on YouTube, she added:

I love you and miss you so much. You were the best father anyone could ask for. Our relationship was so special, and you were always there for me. You gave me courage when I didn’t have any. You believed in me when I didn’t. I miss your love everyday. Recording this song with you was a special and amazing experience I wish I could repeat 100 times over and I know you would too. Happy Father’s Day daddy, nothing compares to you.

Wonder What Barack Obama Is Reading Right Now? Here You Go.

If you’re like me and wondering just how the US, and the rest of the world, got here in just a year and a half, you’ll have a bit of joy to know President Obama has resurfaced on social media (he’s been a tad quiet of late, but well worth a follow when he does post), and listed his recent personal reading material on Facebook. As one commenter posted, “How refreshing to read comments by an intelligent leader who can write in complete sentences!”

 

I’m often asked what I’m reading, watching, and listening to, so I thought I might share a short list from time to time. There’s so much good writing and art and variety of thought out there these days that this is by no means comprehensive – like many of you, I’ll miss “The Americans” – but here’s what I’ve been reading lately. It’s admittedly a slightly heavier list than what I’ll be reading over the summer:

Futureface: A Family Mystery, an Epic Quest, and the Secret to Belonging, by Alex Wagner
I once wrote a book on my own search for identity, so I was curious to see what Alex, daughter of a Burmese mother and Iowan Irish-Catholic father – and a friend of mine – discovered during her own. What she came up with is a thoughtful, beautiful meditation on what makes us who we are – the search for harmony between our own individual identities and the values and ideals that bind us together as Americans.

The New Geography of Jobs, by Enrico Moretti
It’s six years old now, but still a timely and smart discussion of how different cities and regions have made a changing economy work for them – and how policymakers can learn from that to lift the circumstances of working Americans everywhere.

Why Liberalism Failed, by Patrick Deneen
In a time of growing inequality, accelerating change, and increasing disillusionment with the liberal democratic order we’ve known for the past few centuries, I found this book thought-provoking. I don’t agree with most of the author’s conclusions, but the book offers cogent insights into the loss of meaning and community that many in the West feel, issues that liberal democracies ignore at their own peril.

“The 9.9 Percent Is the New American Aristocracy,” by Matthew Stewart, The Atlantic
Another thought-provoking analysis, this one about how economic inequality in America isn’t just growing, but self-reinforcing – and what that means for education, health, happiness, even the strength of our democracy.

In the Shadow of Statues: A White Southerner Confronts History, by Mitch Landrieu
A few years ago, I eulogized the Reverend Clementa Pinckney, who was slain by a white supremacist in his church in Charleston, South Carolina. And I’ll never forget something Clem said while he was alive: “Across the South, we have a deep appreciation of history. We haven’t always had a deep appreciation of each other’s history.” That’s something Mitch takes to heart in this book, while grappling with some of the most painful parts of our history and how they still live in the present. It’s an ultimately optimistic take from someone who believes the South will rise again not by reasserting the past, but by transcending it.

“Truth Decay: An Initial Exploration of the Diminishing Role of Facts and Analysis in American Public Life,” by Jennifer Kavanagh and Michael D. Rich, RAND Corporation
The title is self-explanatory, but the findings are very interesting. A look at how a selective sorting of facts and evidence isn’t just dishonest, but self-defeating to a society that has always worked best when reasoned debate and practical problem-solving thrive.
