Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day (2012)

Genre: Musical
Directed by: Dick Carruthers
Starring: Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Jason Bonham
Running time: 124 minutes



This film captures a live performance recorded by the three surviving members of Led Zeppelin and Jason Bonham, son of John Bonham, the band’s late drummer. The show took place in December 2007, at the O2 Arena, in London, and it was a one-time deal for the band as part of the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert.

Celebration Day is very solid. Though he has aged quite a bit physically since his days as the Golden God, Robert Plant’s voice can still hold its own with the difficult material of the band. And Jimmy Page’s guitar playing is still strong. John Paul Jones does his job well and Jason Bonham will always be the best replacement possible on stage for his father behind Zeppelin.

Overall, this is a very good concert that offers a trip down memory lane with aging rock stars who can still actually go.
