CELEBRATION DAY

This special event of the Reunion of one of the most popular rock band in the world is finally release after been released in a bootleg version. This time, it's a professionally video with a nice picture and sound quality. It's a great pleasure to see the unique guitar playing style of Jimmy Page who is the member that made the Led Zeppelin sound what it is, with of course the recognizable voice of Robert Plant. Only missing the drummer John Bonham who is replace by his son Jason, who played a very tight performance on this show with a solid and precise style of drumming.

The editing of camera shots are nice, but i was annoyed by the mix of professionally shots with some audience camera shots. Maybe it gives another perspective on the guys, but a poor quality picture on a Blu-Ray looks rather ugly. The first part of the show present for the first time live the song "For Your Life", from the album Presence. And it's with this song that the crew starts to create special effects on the screen behind the stage. The band played the beautiful "Trampled Under Foot" with the "Ray Manzarek" keyboards passage that i have always enjoyed. Then the band played the very atmospheric "No Quarter" with again plenty of keyboards by John Paul Jones. And then the second part, the big classic songs are played ; "Kashmir", Stairway to Heaven", "Whole Lotta Love" etc.

All in all the performance of the songs seems to be close to the originals, it's a pleasure to see the band with the latest technology. The visuals are secondary to the music with Led Zeppelin but the way they use the light show was symbolic to me because it feels like a sunny day or the presence of the fire throughout the set.

A classic performance by the best classic rock band, i could not give another rating then a 5!
