Many a fervent prayer were answered yesterday when Led Zeppelin announced the theatrical and dvd/cd release of their 2007 one-off reunion show at London's O2 Arena. Entitled Celebration Day, the video will at last feature the first public performance by Zepp's remaining members with Jason Bonham (son of John) ably filling in on drums since the band disbanded in 1980, and by all accounts (plus confirmation via YouTube videos from the show) Zeppelin totally still had it. The show triggered a wave of hope that the band would reunite for a tour, but alas that never materialized due to lead vocalist and Golden God Robert Plant coming down with a case of the Allison Krauss and later Dave Gilmour Syndrome, and as of right now this is the closest we're going to get. Via NME, Celebration Day will be released internationally in select theaters on October 17 and on dvd and cd on November 19 (right in time for the holiday season), and will include:
"Good Times Bad Times"
"Ramble On"
"Black Dog"
"In My Time Of Dying"
"For Your Life"
"Trampled Under Foot"
"Nobody’s Fault But Mine"
"No Quarter"
"Since I’ve Been Loving You"
"Dazed And Confused"
"Stairway To Heaven"
"The Song Remains The Same"
"Misty Mountain Hop"
"Kashmir"
"Whole Lotta Love"
"Rock And Roll"
No word on whether Celebration Day will be screened in Buffalo, but hopefully somebody will make that happen. For my part, if Buffalo can get a screening of that shamelessly self mythologizing LCD Soundsystem's Last Waltz, Buffalo can get some Zeppelin.
Keep your fingers crossed.
