kenticus Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Oh and it would be remiss of me not to mention that JPJ is a monster on the Bass!! simply the best I wanted to second your comment supporting JPJ. Wow, is just awesome and heartwarming to see JPJ playing the bass with such grace, mastery, dexterity, enjoyment, etc.. Lots of great shots of JPJ jamming. TSRTS takes me away. yeah JPJ really lets it rip on TSRTS, actually the whole band really nails that one, but yeah that's one where JPJ starts ripping off fills all over the place and just in general is all over the neck. It's always cool when someone like him who's typically such a reserved player gets aggressive and doesn't just take a backseat supporting everything. He's absolutely rock solid all over this show, and he's got some great boots beating the snot out of those bass pedals when he's on keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leather Apron Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I just saw the blu-ray last night at a friends house and now must own this myself. Went to a few stores and nobody has it in stock so came back home to find it on the internet and was lucky to get hooked up. Ended up finding this forum as well and so this makes for double good luck. This DVD is awesome! Read a few complaints about how it was edited but I don't agree. What a great representation of a great celebration day in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deborah J Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 All I can say is thank God I live with no neighbors around me. I am listening to it again. My house is literally vibrating as I have it CRANKED!!!!! Actually enjoying it better on my flat screen and sound system at home. The sound is amazing Just gets better and better every time I listen to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glyn Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I too enjoyed it more at home. I actually got to watch it at home instead of what amounted to looking at it while being distracted by people around me at the theater. It's a solid release, completely worthy of being part of the Zeppelin legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Just watching O2, "Dazed and Confused"....look for the quick mirror image of Page during the bow solo. I wonder if that was a little homage to The Song Remains the Same? Yep, I noticed that! I didn't see it at the cinema. I bought a blu-ray player especially for this release and it was well worth it. I had the 2CD/Blu-ray/DVD delivered on Tuesday. I listened to the CD's first at work and decided to watch the DVD on Thursday before the main event. I watched the blu-ray for the first time on Friday and loved every second. It reminded me of how I felt the first time I saw "The Song Remains The Same" on VHS as a 13 year old in the mid-eighties. I can't wait to see it again! Not just yet though. Maybe next Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questrider Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 This release has satisified my three criteria for a concert release: 1. Listening to it on a road trip 2. Listening to it in the office while on the computer working 3. Watching and listening to it on my HD 7.1 home theater setup The additional #4 criteria not usually associated with a live DVD/Blu-ray/CD release is that it kicked proverbial ass in the theater a month or so ago as well. Celebration Day exceeds my expectations and keeps surprising me on each listen. The bonus DVD with the full rehearsal is just an unbelievable gift to the fans. What a great current release from Led Zeppelin and if it happens to be the last hurrah then what a way to go out putting a cherry on top of their legacy. I don't know about the rest of you but I'm going to enjoy the thick fudge and whipped cream for a long to come. A truly unexpected great release from a band we all thought was gone but not forgotten. All I keep thinking is, "Wow." I only wish I could have been there on that celebratory day in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortuneatly for me TSRTS is NOT the Zep I saw in Tampa that same year. I saw it in theaters when it first came out, bought the VHS, and the newer DVD with the Tampa news cast and Celebration Day the song. This new release blows away TSRTS in every way. And Kashmir as I've stated before has to be one of the most powerful live performaces EVER by a band. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to take something very special to replicate that feeling. I'm happy to say "Celebration Day" accomplished that. The closest I've ever come to seeing Zeppelin live is Page & Plant at Glastonbury '95. I attempted to get tickets for O2, 2007, but no luck.

zepscoda Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I love Jimmys use of the Whammy pedal during the show............its so subtle in Kashmir and perfect for NFBM....... incorporating the pedal through out the show was a nice touch. I cant think of another tour where he used it this much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant think of another tour where he used it this much. I have to agree that I too liked it in some of the songs although I wish he had not used it in Trampled Under Foot and just played straight. I thought his soloing in that tune was kinda lame.......othere than that I thought he played really great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the Blu Ray world!! If you are a fan, even just a little, may I suggest Toto, Falling In Between Live, awesome concert in every way! I must say, Some are commenting on Dazed And Confused. Whoever did the camera work should be shot, hung and sent to the Afghan front (a take on Hogans Heros). They should have stayed back during the bow solo to show the pyramid instead they choose to get up close mixed with some semi far shots.

Otherwise, love his use of whammy on Nobody's Fault But Mine, Kashmir, and Whole Lotta Love, very sporadic and just done to accent something in a lick here and there. I think he only uses it in those 4 tunes, but most of the time yeah he uses it to good effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDog71 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Just re-watched the concert on the Blu-Ray disc, and it was just as awesome as when I saw it in a theater last month. This time around, I was able to find new little things about the concert that I didn't notice the first time around. They just get better and better with each and every viewing. The packaging, quality, and the overall amount of content that was released is just awesome! I couldn't be happier to finally own it for myself.

ally Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I've really been enjoying the rehearsal footage. In some way's, I'm finding it even more enjoyable than the concert footage itself. For it alone, it's definitely worth getting the deluxe edition ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crizman Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 SORRY not sure if this should go here,but it struck me while watching the Celebration Day dvd either of the last 2 songs there is a close up of Jason with his tongue sticking out while playing that goes right back to the scene in TSRTS where his playing drums again with his tongue sticking out & he just looks exactly the same!

You can see it in all the videos of them. I think, I noticed it the first time when I watched TSRTS. If you listen closely, you can also hear Jimmy make a little "tick" on his guitar before he starts after breaks, I guess as a signal to let the others know when to be ready (?) I always thought it was so cool. The filming and editing of the 02 really is good, and done with a lot of respect for the way they play together. It's a pleasure to watch, not to mention the pleasure of listening. Jeff Beck does that stuff too with his band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
