wateroftyne Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Yay! But... despite Newcastle being the location of LZ's first-ever UK gig, they aren't showing the film anywhere near here. Boo! Quote
toneknob Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 Boo indeed! Versions on CD, DVD and BluRay or whatever the favoured AV format of the day will soon appear. "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" says [url="http://www.ledzeppelin.com/news/2012/09/13/led-zeppelin-celebration-day"]http://www.ledzeppelin.com/news/2012/09/13/led-zeppelin-celebration-day[/url].

grimbeaver Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I was at the gig, awesome, Jason Bonhams drumming was something else Quote
Johngh Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Cashing in on a large scale....they took their time didn't they. Old men trying to re-live past glory's Quote
wateroftyne Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Or - an opportunity for lots of people who missed them the first time round to get see them, and a chance for the band themselves to put the demons of Live Aid and the Atlantic Records concert behind them. Quote

Old men trying to re-live past glory's [/quote] More glorious than old, I'd say. Anyway, short of an attack of straightforward ageism, I don't see why musicians shouldn't be allowed to take to the stage whatever their age. If 'old' upsets you then don't watch or listen. Quote

Blademan_98 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Not wanting to hijack a good thread for those who do like the revival of old bands, I will bow out. I will pay to see Eric Clapton (67) every year until he gives up Quote

Paulgm1 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 In my humble opinion the greatest rock band of all time. Quote
chrismuzz Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Thanks for the heads up! Gonna try and arrange a day out with the lady followed by this in the evening Quote
Clarky Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I was one of many that missed out on tickets in the ballot and would love to have attended. The clips look great. Count me in Quote
paul_5 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I'm in. Never seen the Zep live and they've been such a big influence on me, I reckon this is the next best thing. Quote
bluesparky Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I'm definitiely getting it. At the time I was working on a tour which loaded out of the O2 the night before Zeppelin loaded in and we had a day off the next day - which was the day of the show - a few of us had the daydream of staying in the building and be unpaid extra pairs of hands to work for the day and watch the gig as a bunch of my good mates were working on it. We didn't though as I'd have had to have been in Manchester for 7am the morning after the gig - so we didn't even make and enquiries to that effect. The closest I've come to seeing the gig was listening to the rehearsals though, and that was good enough for me, until now. Whilst they were in production rehearsals up at Elstree film studios some members of the local crew had to stand in for the band and mime for an entire run-through of a recording of the show so the band could see what the whole show looked like in real time. I guess being JPJ's stand-in is a nice job if you can get it! Quote

BarnacleBob Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I nearly got the sack the day of the ticket release as I spent the entire day at work on the phones/pc even after several warnings. Didn't get through :-( I was at Knebworth in 79 though :-) Does anyone remember if the original TSRTS film did much of a cinema round? I remember having to go to a late night showing at the GFT to catch it. There was a wee spate of music films White Rock etc in that era. Tommy being the most high profile I suppose. BB Quote
Clarky Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I saw Song Remains The Same at the cinema (Tunbridge Wells) some time in the 1970s and also White Rock and the Yessongs Live film. Quote
BarnacleBob Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Depressed now! "Must go and see the Led Zep in concert film!" - 16 yr old with loads of hair and whole life ahead of him! Fast forward "Must go and see the Led Zep in concert film!" - 51yr old balding fat ass wondering what just happened! BB Quote
