Led Zeppelin - Celebration Day
September 13, 2012

Audio And Video From Legendary 2007 Concert
To Be Available In Multiple Configurations On November 19

Concert Slated For Global Theatrical Release On October 17

(Los Angeles, Sept. 13, 2012) – 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 catalog 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 by Omniverse Vision on 1,500 screens in over 40 territories on October 17. The theatrical screenings will follow premieres in London, Los Angeles, New York, and other major cities. Tickets for the public screenings will be available on September 13 via ledzeppelin.com.

Celebration Day will then be available in multiple video and audio formats on November 19 from Swan Song/Atlantic Records. Specific product details will be announced soon.

In the years since I've seen Plant three times and drove to Atlanta in '95 to see Page & Plant at the Omni, probably the closest I'll ever come to seeing Led Zeppelin. I admire them greatly, mainly for the respect they've shown their fallen comrade John Bonham by never regrouping for a full fledged reunion tour. Lots of bands could learn a thing or two from them for that.

By the way, here's complete coverage of yesterday's press conference:

C'mon now.......the Page & Plant tours were essentially a Zeppelin show minus the bombastic drum solos/intros & the title of "Zeppelin in Concert" on the marquee.
Although I guess I see your point as they didn't go out and "Market" the Zep brand on the tour.
Okay, I hear where you're coming from.............back to regular scheduled programming!

It was only being shown in limited release so most places only got it on October 17th and 18th. I'm very glad I went. I went to a later showing so I'm sure the crowds were thinner than the early evening screening. Still, a whole lot of fun and sort of a reminder of the days when movies like The Song Remains the Same were a huge part of midnight movies, though this one is completely free of any sort of fantasy sequences, it's all about the rock.
