Simply the best rock concert movie
24 September 2016
If you watch Celebration Day expecting a 70s era Led Zeppelin experience this probably isn't for you. Please enjoy a midnight showing of The Song Remains the Same for that. Led Zeppelin was a musical freight train then; they obliterated audiences with a power never before seen in rock music. Fast forward 40 years. The greatest hard rock band in history has nothing to prove. Celebration Day seems to me to be just that, a celebration. The remaining members plus Jason Bonham are there to pay tribute to Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, and they do it as only they can. This is an older, more mature Led Zeppelin. They still hold the same power, it just now comes at you with laser precision. They rock as hard as any band ever has, but with a relaxed confidence that proves why they were - and still are - the best. Kudos to the concert team for the throwback projections and old-school set.
