And John Paul Jones sounds like Michael Palin near the beginning when he is handed a piece of paper. “Ahh. Tour dates. But this is tomorrow!”
With regards to John Paul Jones apparently when the movie people went to film him in his house possibly around 1975-76 to feature in the 'off stage' movie sequences in the movie The Song Remains The Same John had by then cut his hair short compared to how he looked in the 1973 movie performance sequences at the Madison Square so apparently the movie people insisted on him wearing a 'daft looking' wig that he did do anyway take a look at 'his' hair(?) at the beginning of the movie when he is reading to his two daughters at bed time and then when he his with his wife in the kitchen and he says to his wife "Ahh. Tour dates!. But this is tomorrow!." his 'hair' looks daft and John says so himself!. John mentioned about having to wear that 'silly wig' in a interview about The Song Remains The Same movie that I read about 10 years ago.

I have been watching again the Led Zeppelin movie The Song Remains The Same and it comes across a lot better watching it now than it originally did for me about 30 years ago.

The Madison Square Garden concert footage from 1973 is brilliant in my opinion you can't fault it and as for the individual band members 'fantasy sequences' I like the Peter Grant (Zeppelin's manager) fantasy sequence featuring himself along with Richard Cole (Peter Grant's right-hand man) and another Zeppelin flunky blasting an opposing outfit to pieces with Thompson sub-machine guns and Jimmy's fantasy sequence is a laugh with him climbing that mountain only to come 'face to face' with himself(!) but Robert's fantasy sequence is a joke cos the guy couldn't act to save his life but having said that with Robert being a 1970s ROCK GOD you couldn't expect him to be great at everything that he was asked to do!. Fronting the BIGGEST ROCK BAND IN THE WORLD was enough for any mortal!. Unfortunately the John Paul Jones sequence at the beginning with him wearing that 'silly wig' is another joke ha ha ha...

As one rock critic says "The movie should be watched after dropping acid." ;)
