Just got this in a "This Day In Led Zeppelin History" newsletter that I subscribe to.
Sounds too good to be true and why did they wait so long?
LED ZEPPELIN DVD AND CD NEWS: "THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME" DESTINED
FOR REISSUE IN NOVEMBER
Fourteen songs from Led Zeppelin's three nights at Madison Square
Garden in July 1973 have been remixed and remastered in 2007 for
release this November on new DVD and CD sets.
"We have revisited 'The Song Remains The Same,' and can now offer the
complete set as played at Madison Square Garden," Page said in a
statement issued on the 34th anniversary of the first of those New
York concerts. "When it comes to 'The Song Remains The Same,' the
expansion of the DVD and soundtrack are as good as it gets on the Led
Zeppelin wish list."
The reissued packaging of "The Song Remains the Same," set for
release on Nov. 20 from Warner Home Video, is to include liner notes
from Cameron Crowe, whose film "Almost Famous" closely resembled his
own journey to near-stardom when he traveled with Led Zeppelin and
struggled to land an interview with Page.
The limitations of the LP format in 1976 prevented the double-album
soundtrack from containing all 14 songs. In fact, six were missing
from it: "Black Dog," "Over The Hills And Far Away," "Misty Mountain
Hop," "Since I've Been Loving You," "The Ocean" and "Heartbreaker. "
These tunes will be included on the CD soundtrack for the first time
this year.
"This differs substantially from the original soundtrack released in
1976," said Page, "and highlights the technical prowess of Kevin
Shirley, who worked with us on 'How The West Was Won.'" That album,
capturing live performances from two dates in June 1972, was released
in May 2003 alongside the visually spectacular career-spanning live
set simply called "Led Zeppelin DVD."
As with that release, the new "The Song Remains the Same" DVD will
benefit from 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound. One deluxe edition
will be in high-definition DVD. Another edition will be in the Blu-
ray format. All will contain complete versions of songs featured only
partially in the film's original theatrical release, as well as clips
from television interviews and a radio show involving Crowe.

Led Zeppelin has never released dvd's with that title. They wouldn't win the West at Knebworth, Earl's Court, or Royal Albert Hall, would they? They could I suppose.
It's titled simply: Led Zeppelin
They announced this a couple months ago. Should be kickass with the extra tunes and the same team that worked on the last dvd.
I have the bootlegs of the 2 nights and they took bits and pieces of both nights to construct the songs. Listen to Dazed & Confused from the soundtrack, and then from the movie. There's stuff in both that are, and are not, the same as each other.
I don't think they are gonna rework any of the arrangements. I dunno how much vid they got of Page in the whole wizard getup, but they would have to at least re-edit all of that stuff if they are gonna rearrange the jam at the end.

There is no more salvagable Zeppelin video. Page used it all up, on the S/T dvd.
