a work thing gave me access to some old rock concert films/documentaries, so i put on The Song Remains the Same as some background noise while i worked on a repetitive task today.

i haven't seen it since i was a teenager, and i had remembered the various wacky non-performance sequences as happening during the songs or as interludes between them. at first i thought maybe i had forgotten to press play or that there was something wrong; turns out there's a whole 13 minutes of no music at the beginning of the film. (that's where all the shooting gangsters and Robert Plant's naked kids playing in a stream were. JPJ's family as Victorians and Plant on some kind of quest with a sword and Page aging into a wizard are during songs.) it's not a great concert movie, but Jimmy Page shredding a violin bow is still pretty cool.

i feel like now i need to do a boozy paired viewing with This Is Spın̈al Tap.

Didn't know this film existed, and it sounds hallucinogenic. (Without the annoy tight-jaw-hangover.)
