Cactus Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Sorry to rain on your parade Cactus, but I really don't think this is Earl's Court or Knebworth he's working on either. I reckon IF Shirley is mixing Zep (and it's a BIG if), it would be the O2... I don't think you read my post correctly - I was saying that if he is working on Zep, it is more likely to be O2 than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hot dog Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Reported by BBC via NME: Led Zeppelin 'hope' to release London O2 Arena DVD Jimmy Page says the reunion gig DVD may surface Led Zeppelin have said that they "hope" to release a DVD of their reunion gig, which took place at the London O2 Arena last December. The gig was filmed and rumours about a DVD have been circulating since, with guitarist Jimmy Page yesterday (June 17) hinting that a full release seems likely. "I hope so, one day, yeah," he said, when asked by BBC 6Music if the DVD would be released. "Yeah, I should think one day the DVD will come out, but there is no hurry to do it," added bassist John Paul Jones. "It was a special occasion, you know, and we really wanted that just to be it really," he added, when asked why the DVD was taking so long to come out. http://www.nme.com/news/led-zeppelin/37454 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirchzep27 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 They could keep the occasion special by just releasing the audio then... with some stuff from the rehearsal maybe. Then release the dvd at a later date if they want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 I don't feel that the audio alone justifies a release. The problem is how do you market it? Page has always been vague about these things, and I don't take him at face value. They will keep it under wraps until they choose to release the information.

I think a cd release of this show, especially with some material from the rehearsal/the rover,candy store rock, ...forget marketing, would ofcourse move.

shadowblue Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 "It was a special occasion..."(JPJ, I think) DAMN STRAIGHT IT WAS!! Isn't that all the more reason to allow the masses to see it? I can't understand the logic of holding it back for this reason. Underscored but the general interest evidenced by the millions of entrants in the ballot. Should the DVD come out, does anybody know if the proceeds go to the band or the Ahmet scholarship fund? The latter would earn much more from this than from the show.

It'll most likely go to the fund. I mean, the concert was a tribute to him, so why wouldn't it? Besides, the band doesn't need any more money.

reids Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 It would make more sense for them to release the Ahmet Tribute : O2 Arena Show on Blue-Ray, DVD and/or DVD-Audio (double disc special editions) next, before releasing any previous Zeppelin material (like Earls Court, Knebworth, etc...) on cd or dvd/blue-ray (my opinion) if they were to do some more one-offs later this year/next year. It shows their new visuals/stage show, Jason performing on drums, as well as the proceeds/profits from sales doing more now to benefit those in need for their special tribute/performance (the Ahmet fund). Hopefully, the rehearsals (non-performed songs: Candy Store Rock, etc...) will be included as well as interviews by all four talking about Ahmet, his life, and this momentus event...

Mountain Hopper Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 An official O2 cd or dvd would be great for all the people who couldn't go. Esspecially if they don't do a tour. The bits I've seen on youtube make me want it even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solar Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 The reason I'd prefer to have an official release over the Third Eye/Katz Eye is that not enough of the awesome video screen visuals were visable. Oh, and the real audio would be DYNAMITE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
