On 10 December 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. The film of Celebration Day will
see a worldwide theatrical release in October. Celebration Day will then be
available in multiple video and audio formats on 19 November. Specific product
details will be announced soon. This is the best news since the announcement of
Red Hot Chili Peppers touring South Africa! Get a taste of of the Led Zeppelin movie, HERE!
