Fettsman Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Just got back from the premiere! Bloody hell it was good, the three of them were on stage to introduce and the atmosphere was fantastic. Quote
Panamonte Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Very glad to hear it. I went to the premiere of the DVD release at the Empire Leicester Square in 2003 and JPJ, Page and Plant were in touching distance when they delivered their introduction. I brought my mate who'd got me into Zeppelin in the first place along with me and he was suitably thrilled. Quote
vsmith1 Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 I went and saw the film last night. I was very happy. I agree that Jason's drumming was the underpinning to the gig. He was magnificent without being a clone of his dad. It was moving to see him very much in the mind of doing it for his dad. Robert Plant's voice was great - he's kept performing and unlike others of a similar generation - he's not lost a lot of the voice that defined a genre. Jimmy Page still strutted his stuff but I found some of it a bit re-enacting of times past. JPJ was brill - thunderous tone - but I was disappointed that he played keys with foot pedals for bass on several numbers - I especially wanted to hear his bass on Since I've Been Loving You. Strange to think that about 35 years ago I saw TSRTS down the road in Morecambe and watched this in Lancaster. Though I've been in many other places in between those times. Quote

flyfisher Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 I wanted to see this, checked the local cinema last weekend, read all the guff about how many millions of people applied for tickets but were disappointed (obviously) and how they could now see the film of the concert . . . . . except it was only being shown on one evening! So much for 'millions' of pent-up demand. Anyway, I couldn't make it, so that's that. I guess it'll turn up on BBC4 one day. I can wait. Quote
steve-soar Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Hahahahahahaha!!! Sunday afternoon, Birkenhead, a little stroll down the road, film, pub, home. Quote

toneknob Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 Saw the film last night in big mode at the Vue Xtreme at Westfield. Lots of great memories of the gig night, can't wait for the Bluray. Did you see the 10-string Manson in Nobody's Fault but Mine? whoa. Also the fretless P he used for In My Time Of Dying was awesome too. Quote

toneknob Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 Also what I loved was that even though they've got a stage a mile wide, as soon they can the four of them are gathered around the drum riser checking each other out. Quote

Because I'm listening back to the tracks (granted some studio ones) and either he's pretty good with his feet or he's playing bass. Quote
KevB Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 I think WOT was referring to them playing SIBLY etc live. As JPJ was also the keys player the natural thing to do live was play some form of bass on pedals whilst playing organ over the top. Obviously on studio recordings he had the benefit of overdubbing to be able to play multiple parts. It's one thing that very few LZ tributes cover properly with the main exception of 'Letz Zep' who actually have a bass player that does keys/bass pedals in full when needed, great player. Quote
wateroftyne Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 JPJ has never played bass on Since I've Been Loving You. Even the studio recording was bass pedals... Quote
KevB Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Learn something new every day...I once saw a good transcription of SIBLY and I doff my cap to JPJ if he did that with his feet! Quote
steve-soar Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Just got back from a great afternoon. The film was first class and I have no doubt that there was some "improvements" made in the editing but it was fantastic. Chemistry, that is all I will say. Quote
Jazzneck Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) Just got my Celebration Day DVD - JPJs bass seemed a bit far back in the mix - is it me ears, my bl**dy tele or production? Great gig though, really enjoyed it - they can still do the biz. The last time I saw them live was at the Albert in 1969! Edited November 23, 2012 by Jazzneck Quote
Oopsdabassist Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Thank the lord you said that, I watched mine last night and spent ages checking my sourround sound settings, I thought my gear was on the way out! loved the fillum, and all the little nods winks and smirks over slipups etc. yup they still got it:) Quote
Jazzneck Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 I'm taking the DVD round to my mate's at the week-end. He's got a ladida system with Boses and fings - will let you know what passes...... Quote
wateroftyne Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Just watched the Blu ray... Amazing. They're having so much fun, and young Bonham is a star. Yep, the bass is a bit lost - all subby lows and roundwound zing with no mids. The fretless P fares a bit better. He plays it like a demon though. Quote
leroydiamond Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Yep. you gotta try and adjust on the tone on your system. Bass sounds a bit subby, but what a band.!!. Quote
Rothers Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Would it sound big-headed to say I was at the gig AND the London Premier? Seriously it is a good film. Certainly the vocals have been repaired as the feedback which was prevelant throughout the gig is no longer there... I now own the Blu-Ray package and am enjoying it again. My favourite bit is Jason going crazy at the end of Rock n Roll and the amazement on the faces of the guys Quote
wateroftyne Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 The single-camera shoot from the rehearsal on the bonus DVD is great... The bass is clearer. Quote
Angel Posted November 24, 2012 Posted November 24, 2012 Awesome band! If only they'd do a tour. Quote
Jazzneck Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 [quote name='Jazzneck' timestamp='1353674176' post='1877229'] I'm taking the DVD round to my mate's at the week-end.

Wot you lot finkin'? Quote
