Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day |
September 14 2012 – We previously wrote about the Led Zeppelin Facebook page getting some attention with a five day countdown. In a rolling thunder announcement our speculation was correct and the band will be releasing the O2 reunion show of 2007 finally. Not only is it being released in multiple audio and video formats (details coming soon) – it is also being show in theaters worldwide. In Toronto and surrounding areas October 17th is the day to mark down for this one. Get your ticket right here.
This movie wont have the longevity of The Song Remains The Same which was playing in art house cinemas for decades but for any Led Zeppelin fan this live concert movie will surely not disappoint. Although we don’t have confirmation at this point it will be released in Blu-Ray as well making this a must have for any hard rock fan this Christmas season.
On December 10, 2007, Led Zeppelin took the stage at London’s O2 Arena to headline a tribute concert for dear friend and Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. What followed was a two— hour—plus tour de force of the band’s signature blues—infused rock ’n’ roll that instantly became part of the legend of Led Zeppelin. Founding members John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were joined by Jason Bonham, the son of their late drummer John Bonham, to perform 16 songs from their celebrated catalogue including landmark tracks “Whole Lotta Love,” “Rock And Roll,” “Kashmir,” and “Stairway To Heaven.” Although 20 million people applied for tickets, the band’s first headline show in 27 years was seen only by the 18,000 ticket holders who were fortunate enough to have secured seats through the worldwide lottery. Now, for the first time, fans in over 40 territories worldwide will be able to get a front row seat to experience this historic event in glorious high definition and incredible surround sound. Experience it on the big screen for a strictly limited period only.
