Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day film reviews

Here are early reviews of Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day - I will be updating this page more as I receive them.  You might want to bookmark this page so you can check back.

ultimateclassicrock.com  "For two solid hours, the viewer is witness to full-on Led Zep sonic fury."

triplem.com.au  "Three things stand out from the outset. 1) Robert Plant is still an amazing vocalist, incredible is not pushing it. 2) Jimmy Page is still one of the best guitarists in the world, he steals the show and not one of his band-mates mind. 3) Jason Bonham is a star, his Dad was smiling down on him that night.
    "I have not forgotten JPJ, here is a man who onstage is the ‘quiet one’ but still over the 2 and half hours manages bass, piano, keys and more. He does it effortlessly and without fuss or need for a spotlight. He nails."

uncut.co.uk/  "Unlike, say, Martin Scorsese's Rolling Stones' concert film Shine A Light, Celebration Day isn't looking to say anything profound or particularly meaningful about Led Zeppelin. Curruthers' proficient film is a testament to the physical endurance of these men, and a satisfying reminder of the brilliance of that show in 2007."

Celebration Day Movie Premiere Oct 9 in Manhattan

On Oct. 9 “Celebration Day” will have its premiere at the Ziegfeld Theater in Manhattan. That event will be preceded by a news conference at the Museum of Modern Art with the founding Led Zeppelin members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. Stepping in for John Bonham, who died in 1980, will be that drummer’s son, Jason Bonham.  Read more...

Also John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant at London’s Hammersmith Apollo for a special premiere screening of Celebration Day on October 12th 2012. Very limited number of tickets available here.

Mage Music 20: Let's Celebrate!

The O2 concert is coming!

To me, any day I can listen to music of Led Zeppelin – or, more specifically, Jimmy Page – is a Celebration Day, but I've been really, really happy with the news that finally the 2007 Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert, featuring a reunited Led Zeppelin (with Bonzo’s son, Jason Bonham, on drums) will be available in movie theaters in October and on DVD in November.

The movie opens on six continents (apparently not in Antarctica) on October 17, 2012 and you can check to see where online at the official Led Zeppelin website. Some locations are already offering tickets – I’m sure that getting them early is a good idea because although there are 1500 theaters world-wide showing Celebration Day, there are millions of Led Zeppelin fans. Just like the O2 show, there will likely be folks who want to get in who won’t be able to get a ticket. Me – well, the nearest theater is a couple hundred miles away so I might have to wait for the DVD.

The DVD (and other formats) is scheduled for release November 19.  I hope I can order in advance.  I'm thinking I might need to order multiple copies, because... well, just because.

Till October – or November – there’s the Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day DVD/movie trailer to tide you over and to whet your appetite.

I’ll be posting info as it I learn of it on a page of its own here on the Mage Music blog that I've created just for that purpose (check out the tab at the top of this page) so it’ll be easy for you to find.  Plus I've posted some stills from the movie trailer.  You might want to bookmark the page.  Heck, it's my own blog and I've bookmarked the page!  CLICK HERE
