John Paul Jones is the back bone of the group , playing 2 key boards and the bass line with his feet ,awesome, Jones dosen't get accolades he deserves.
Loved your reaction 😂 you sat for 5 minutes with your jaw open having your face melted off in disbelief. When a 70's band comes out of retirement to remind us all what Rock & Roll is.
I was one of the 20 million people who applied for tickets in the first couple of hours on sale. Needless to say I didn't get any. The people here are very lucky.
At the time i had a friend who was a music agent and he got us tickets for this show. When they broke into this song the eruption was so electric that i got goosebumps from head to toe. The coolest thing though was the acoustics when plant does his legendary scream it just echoed at the same time making it sound like it was a gallery of singers screaming. Jason played flawless too. Of all the songs that night this was the closest to the original especially in plants voice. He really sang most of it in original octive. The rest of the show either jimmy played solos in different keys or plant sang in a different range. Ive been to a lot of concerts in my life as i have several friends that are signed musicians a couple with interscope as well and this concert is by far the best concert i have ever seen. Zeppelin showed why they could still very well be the best band of all time. They play off each other so well that you would think they never left. If they even played half a dozen shows a year today i have zero doubt they could fill 100k people in a matter of minutes shattering any artist today. I dont think i will ever see a better group than this.
Uoooooooow você foi o "escolhido" pra ver as lendas do rock, acredito que qualquer um vendo este vídeo sinta vontade de também ter estado lá para assistir.... As Lendas!
Those three old men really knew their couple of tricks. And Bonzo's son surely would've made his father proud. Maybe the greatest song of maybe the greatest rock band of all time
AMAZING performance 32 years after its release. They may be decades beyond their peak, but WOW! Some will argue this isn't true Led Zeppelin but let's give Jason Bonham a big kudos. He really stepped up to honour his father and the band's legacy. This was their final concert. It was a one night show and tickets were by lottery. 20 million tickets requested for this concert.
Ok agreed!!! Obviously not the original 70s Zep! But are they not sounding Absolutely F*cking Sensational!!!!!... And Jason is a Great drummer! Who else could have stepped into his Dad's shoes so Beautifully?!!!!.....
You can feel how committed Robert Plant was during this performance, he knew this was going to be it FOREVER and he left it ALL put there.. When he does the ad libs Can I, Can I, Can I, Can I .. Whoooh!! That is my favorite part of the performance and gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it..
I’m 64, my first concert 1971 Jethro Tull, I was 13. I’ve seen, Zepplin, Stones, Eagles, Dylan, The Dead, Jefferson Starship, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Petty, Heart, Doobies, Jackson Browne, Kiss, Bonnie Raitt, Blues Brothers, James Brown, BB King, The Band, over 400 concerts, and counting.
& this is precisely why 20 million people tried getting tickets for a venue that they were selling 20 thousand tickets for!!! Bonzo’s sons name is Jason. So glad you listened to all us crazy LED HEADS & watched this version too. Definitely Trampled Under Foot Earls Court and I strongly recommend In My Time of Dying also Earls Court 1975. ☮️
These gentlemen set the bar so high for music that everything dims in comparison !! They had so much swag and charisma that they made it look so easy .
I was born in 1958 and grew up with these guys in their prime. Can you understand why we say we had the greatest bands and music of all time? No Autotune, no half-naked women dancing around, just pure from the gut and windpipes into the vocal cords songs of talent. Some songs are sung by Led Zep like "When The Levee Breaks" which is a cover song written back in 1925 and became a hit in 1927. This song was written by the singer Robert Plant. I hope you will take the time to check out our time in music from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, right up to today, which still has some great bands and music. Not many, but some..
One of the crowd shots after the encores is a young woman in tears. She knew. This was going to be the band's last performance together. She was too young to have seen them in their day But she did get to see that even in old age they were the GOAT, still able to bring a stadium to its feet as they dazzled with power of their music and their virtuosity.
I saw Zep at their final UK performance at knebworth festival in 1979. Shortly after that John Bonham died. The fact that they sounded this good nearly three decades later is testament to the quality of these guys. There will never be another Led Zeppelin
This is the greatest song ever written and performed. From the first note to the last and every single piece in between is absolute perfection from four masters at their craft absolutely beautiful
The integrity this band has, promoters were salivating watching and listening to this performance. The $$$$ that was thrown at them to take this on the road was bananas and they said NO you have to respect that.. 👏🏾👏🏾
the great timeless superbands, like Pink Floyd and Led zepelin were driven by raw talent and creativity. today's music is driven by profit, whoever makes trough makes it not because he is good, or talented, but because of how much money he can generate for the editor/publisher. landscape changes..signs of times.
This was their last performance. They had done a couple of one-offs in the 80’s but both were marred by lack of time for rehearsal. So when they agreed to perform for this tribute to Ahmet Erdogan, their friend as well as the person who signed them to St,antic Records, they did so with the intention to show the world that their fame and legend was not hype but deserved. So they carved out the time to rehearse…to make Jason feel comfortable and part of the band, and to make sure they were in the best form they could possibly be, including a full dress rehearsal, which is also on RUclips. Off and on, they rehearsed six weeks. Jason was a treasure trove for them, because he had ALL the bootlegs of Zeppelin, and had studied his dads drumming from all the concerts for which there were recordings, so if Jimmy or JPJ couldn’t remember a particular transition or how they had ended a song, he could literally say “well, in Detroit in 1973 you did it this way, or in 1975 you did it that way”. What a resource they had in Jason! Plus, he’s a damn fine drummer in his own right.
I have always believed Bonzo came down and Jason channeled his spirit that night. Jason sounded so much like his father when he was playing. I got chills so many times watching Celebration Day.
they never lost it, thing is, there was nothing else remaining to be conquered.. they did all in their time, they were at the peek of the world, there was nothing left to do. but as great masters as they are, if called upon, they can still do it as good as before, thats what difers the good, from the very great
Absolutlely loved this version of Kashmir,]. It's the best one as far as I'm concerned. The whole Celebration Day concert is great. I think Robert Plant has a richness in his voice that wasn't there when he was younger. Yay for the old guys (of which I am one).😄🙃🙃.
Literally, hundreds of millions of dollars was offered to them to tour after this show. There was such a desire by their fans to see them that they could have toured for a year and not satisfied the demand. But Robert refused. They all said when Bonzo died that Zeppelin could not continue. But after this performance, Jimmy desperately wanted to continue and tour. Remember, Zeppelin was his creation, and he was the “keeper of the flame” if you will. But Robert refused. And there were many reasons. Casual fans were furious…..they wanted to see Zep perform again. But if you were are a serious fan, or had followed Plant through his long solo career, and knew something about his character, it was understandable. Zeppelin had ceased to be, as Robert himself put it , “an affair of the heart” for him after his son died. Bonzo talked him into retuning to the band. And after his best friend died, that cut the last chord for him. There had been allot of dark and rough years for him in Zeppelin starting in 1975, and some of those old tensions were still there. He had spent decades having a successful solo career, and he didn’t want to be drawn back into that “Golden god” roll again. He didn’t need the money. Trying to sing like that at 59 years old on a tour could have damaged his voice irreparably. Finally, and most importantly: Robert’s idea of hell is repetition. Throughout his life he has sought musical inspiration from from different traditions. He was at the time of this concert, also touring with his own band, Strange Sensations. He also had started his collaboration with Allison Krauss, which was musically exciting and challenging to him…and the album from that collaboration led to a year-long tour and won 5 Grammies in 2009. When he comes to money versus what moves his heart and drives his musical passions, Robert will pick his heart every time. He does not live his life for Zeppelin fans….nor his own for that matter, but for what feeds his soul. I respect that. He is still performing, and he is touring his new album with Krauss this summer. He’s now 74 and has no intention to stop until he has to…..Willie Nelson being his example. He writes and performs music because he HAS to…..not for the money, but because it’s who he is, and, as he has often said, only half in jest, it helps to keep him sane. Ever moving forward to the new, never dwelling in the past, that’s who he is. I don’t know as Jimmy has ever made his peace with Robert’s decision, and Jason and JPJ were disappointed. But so be it.
I think there are 2 reasons. The first and main reason is - he just can't sing like that any more, but he knew that from about 75 onwards. Second is, he respects the legacy and knows it remains in the past, to carry into the future. I for one am glad they didn't do the whole glitz reunion, and I don't think Celebration Day is Led Zeppelin, because it isn't. People that rave about this need to go and watch Denmark. That, is Led Zeppelin.
When their together at interviews and a reunion gets mentioned, you can visibly see the disappointment on Jimmy's face when Robert shoots down the notion.
THe band had agreed to tour with Jason but Jimmy broke a finger and the tour was postponed then canceled after Plant decided he didn't want to do it. this was after Celebration day.
@@paulriddle7818 hmm….actually, CelebraTion Day was originally scheduled for early November of 2007,but had to be postponed until December because Jimmy broke his finger. Heard allot of interviews and read some books….never a mention of Jimmy breaking his finger again after the concert. What’s your source? Plant had no intention of touring…He was in the middle of his collaboration with Alison Krauss and a tour was planned for 2008 fir that. He agreed to this performance to honor his friend Ahmet, and to honor Led Zeppelin’s legacy…..to finish it off with a triumph. They accomplished that. And then Robert was done. If you have a source that says otherwise I would be very interested in knowing it.
Page was disappointed, but ultimately OK with Plant's refusal to your again. He understood that Plant wasn't the fearless, brash young guy he'd been when they originally formed.
I was there, right in front of pagey, second row from the stage, t'was fantastico! Kashmir and In My Time of Dying were the highlights for me, but the whole show was great tbh
I heard there were other top bands in attendance...like Oasis, etc...did you see any by the stage? Dam you were lucky to be at that show. The acoustics are haunting.
in their time, you had to be trully Talented to get trough all the noise and be sucessfull. today you only need looks and autotune. (computer assisted)
This brought tears to my eyes that night. It was such an astonishing show and this topped everything. As for the crowd, it was huge grins or open mouthed to the glory of this track,
This is f-ing amazing!! Plants voice is spot on, still holding those notes! Of course Jimmy still has it, probably the best guitar player ever!! And then Jason, John's son who said he practiced n practiced and practiced all of the songs to get them down pat, and that he did, just like his dad.. 🎶🤘🎵
I never got to see Led Zeppelin sadly but I did get to see Robert Plant a few years before this concert. He did some new songs and a lot of Led Zeppelin songs. I was right down the front and he was amazing.
It is very fun to watch the beginning of this concert where they briefly show a clip from a news report on a Zeppelin concert from 1970 or so on a “TV” screen, and then you hear the opening chords of Good Times Bad Times ring out and the stage lights go up and the crowd goes absolutely NUTS. And why shouldn’t they? Those lucky 18,000 or so people had LITERALLY won the lottery for tickets to this once in a lifetime event. If I had a time machine, this would be one of my stops…..assuming I had a ticket of course! 😁🤘
"he sounds the same, how is that possible?" Hail, Satan? Love the reaction so much. I think it's hard for people that didn't grow up with Led Zeppelin to really appreciate just how impossible this moment was and it was awesome seeing how it hit you.
Before I even watch, YAY!I've wanted you to see some music from this show. ❤️❤️ this is bomb, and we'll never get tired of Kashmir Good God this gives me chills. I fricken love this performance. THIS is legend.
Led Zeppelin's last performance was July 7, 1980 in Berlin, Germany (I have a soundboard CD). The last song they ever played was Whole Lotta Love. They were closing out a European tour just prior to a US tour, which never happened. This concert (2007) is the last time the remains of the group played together, and is likely the last. The large Stonehenge-like pylons you see on the screen graphics are a clever nod to "The Object" from the album cover,: "Presence," the next album.
These guys of Led Zeppelin are truly the gods of Rock n' Roll!!!! Your reactions>>>>>>PRICELESS!!!! LMAO!!!!! I have seen Led Zeppelin 4 times.....I would love to see them in their late years perform. And they are still performing across the pond.....if they tour here in the US.....I am going to that concert!!!! Love your reactions!!!
ticket sales and requests for this concert set worldwide records. McCartney, The Stones, Pink Floyd, the concert was filled with top celebrities and musicians, too. What an experience for all whom were able to see these incredible musicians. The best of the best, then, now, forever!
Next...In My Time Of Dying and Trampled Under Foot both 1975 Earls Court! This was their last performance 😢 Please don't forget In My Time Of Dying in Earls Court 1975 too!!
Just getting around to checking this reaction out and ... I LOVED IT!!! love seeing your appreciation for these legends. I could go on forever about Zeppelin, this song, the performance and your reaction (which was awesome!!👊🙃) but I'll spare y'all that and simply say that this performance is proof of what I've always known (some people just don't seem to get though! lol!!🤦♀) But I'm gonna say it again for whatever it's worth... IMO, this performance highlights one VERY important fact in the journey here on earth and that is that while their bodies have aged greatly... their souls remain the same (that's my silly play on "the song remains the same"! lol!!😅). Robert and Jimmy's souls in particular SHINED exactly the same as they did back in the 70's. And that is because... it's only our bodies that age!!!👊 We gather a ton of wisdom in our heads throughout the years (and a lot of bullshit too!!🙄) and live according to the crap in our heads but deep down inside, our souls remain the same!!! In a nutshell, our souls don't age... it's just the body that does... Anyway, since this performance displays that beautifully, I thought I'd share my thoughts on the matter!🤗 Great reaction!! Peace and light to all...💞
Robert Plant has a good set of solo material going back quite a few years, and is still a great singer. His live cover of Song To The Siren is outstanding. Hope you eventually get to his solo work.
This was--to date--Led Zeppelin's final performance. The 3 surviving members of the band only reunited to perform together 4 times: Live Aid in 1985; the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary celebration in 1988; the band's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 1995; and the Celebration Day concert in 2007, which was in tribute to the late Ahmet Ertegun, the Atlantic Records executive who originally signed Led Zeppelin to the label.
@@johnpetrie1918 So let me ask you this: If Jimmy Page had died, and not Bonzo.....and Plant, Jones, and Bonzo went on tour and called it: "Led Zeppelin," would it be "Led Zeppelin?" Would you consider that "Led Zeppelin?" If you answer is "no," then a band without Bonzo isn't Led Zeppelin either. And it isn't. And I'd sure love to see proof of where the band itself called these performances "Led Zeppelin," because I've never seen that in print or in an interview.
@@tektoniks_architects umm... the concert has literally been released as a Led Zeppelin album & concert film. It's included in the band's official picture book released in 2018. Your hypothetical about Page dying is irrelevant. The band itself have referred to their handful of reunion performances as official band performances. You're free to hold the opinion that Celebration Day "doesn't count" as a Led Zeppelin album but I assure you the band itself would disagree.
Led Zeppelin are just the ultimate. This live performance of Kashmir will be in my soul when I die. The best. I feel blessed to have had this music throughout my life.
Back when they would play this live in 75 and 77, Page use to mimic John Paul Jones' middle eastern keyboard scales and riffs on his guitar, especialy during the last segment of the song. Nice review from a brilliant performance by Zeppelin.
They set the bar so high no one else has reached it. Greatest band ever. To perform like this 27 years after calling it a day after John Bonham died truly remarkable.
I was there. I had seen them multiple times in the 70s. But if you want to know what the crowd was like, I saw kids in front of me who were literally weeping at this show. I was standing right next to the VIP section and was able to watch Paul McCartney, Brian May, Jeff Beck, Dave Grohl, (god help me) Paris Hilton etc etc etc etc and they were all on their feet dancing during Kashmir (except Beck who seemed to be more interested in chatting up the blonde sitting next to him who had a look on her face like "Shut the f" up Jeff.")
At this concert, Jason was in his 40s, Robert in his late 50s, and both Jimmy and Jonesy in their early 60s. Robert has focused on his solo career. He will occasionally perform Zep songs in his own concerts but has no interest in performing with the other two.
This was last performance ever and only very few ever done since 1980. They nailed this one and Jason great drummer in his own right doing his Dad proud. I prefer Knebworth as Led Zep with Bonzo. Can't be Led Zep without Bonzo holding it all down. But they get real close to the next best thing here. Imagine 20 mill people tried to buy tickets for this one concert 27 years after they disbanded. Amazing!!
This was their last song on the almost two hour set. They closed with it because, to the surviving members, it is THE song that they feel best represents Zeppelin’s sound. It has all the majesty, the power, the Moroccan and Middle Eastern influences…..They then did two encores…Whole Lotta Love and Rock and Roll….making it a full two hour concert. The entire concert is available on DVD and on RUclips. It is my favorite concert movie. Definitely do more from the O2. Once you get through all eight albums, you could screen the entire concert on your patreon channel ……..You would get allot of new patrons if you did that, myself included.
There are interviews of some of those attending this concert. It was al lottery, because they had 20m requests for tickets. Lots of musicians and celebrities attended.
I was fortunate to be there 30 feet from the front watching Jimmy doing his magic . At the sides stars packed the seats to watch this in astonishment I wept with joy .
Jason is John’s son! He started playing drums at age 4 like his Dad did! He always wanted to play in his dad’s band! John is listening and is sooo proud!!!
Me and five friends were set to meet the members of Zeppelin backstage and see them from the first couple of rows in Landover, MD, but John Bonham died a few weeks before the concert. Me and two friends had gone into their Swansong office in New York City and we were walking around looking at their platinum albums in and around like we belonged. All of a sudden a big dude steps out and says WTF are you doing? How did you get in here? We just in a chilled way say we're huge fans from DC. He's getting ready to kick us out, but he can tell we're harmless and legit fans, and I tell him I had been in that office the summer before with my grandparents and mom, which was 100% true. He laughs and has us come into an awesome studio to listen to a new band signing to Swansong. He and his friends, some lady friends ended up enjoying having us as teenage guests up on I think the 52nd floor. They gave us pictures & souvenirs and said when Zeppelin plays in DC, we'll have you meet them, and each of us could bring someone. I was wondering what the hell am I going say to the band when I meet them. It was very sad, the folks we met at Swansong were close friends with the band. I called to thank Mitch for setting us up, he was depressed about his buddy Bonzo. It was a strange feeling as a Senior in High-school. It's amazing what can happen in life if you just do unconventional stuff. He told us no one ever showed up there, the address was on the albums. The security guard just gave us the green light. As awful as it was at the time for me, the real tragedy was for their families and friends. Robert of course had list his son about 4 years earlier.
I respect that everyone wanted a reunion after this concert. All I can say is that Robert knew there were songs that he just could sing anymore. There were songs that Jimmi and JP wanted to do but Robert said no. To sing at 60 + years old there are things your voice can't do anymore. I respect Robert for not wanting to lower the bar on expectations. I would have loved to see them go on tour again, but I understand Roberts POV. The greatest Rock Band Ever and I never would want to hear them and say " I remember when they were good!!!! They were the GOAT and will always be the GOAT .
I think Robert has regrets about not coming to the US after the O2. Keep in mind Led Zeppelin were much more popular in America than in the UK. The States accepted Zeppelin early on and concerts were always sold out from day one. That continued until Bonzo passed in 1980. Robert's solo career was also built here in North America long before elsewhere. So, to not do the Ahmet Ertegun tribute here was a slight to the people that truly supported Zeppelin throughout their careers. It's all on Robert however, the others wanted to do a few shows here after the huge success of the O2 show.
Glad you checked this out! You would definitely enjoy the whole concert. No Quarter, Trampled Under Foot, and For Your Life are notable performances and For your life was the first time they ever performed the song live.
The cool part about zeppelin is you can listen to the same song performed live at different concerts and it is never the same! It’s almost like a whole different song each time because they improvise so much! Definitely check out some more songs from this concert
I have good news SalvoG - you can get yet another later flavor of Kashmir with Page & Plant Unledded tour 1995 at the late great Irvine Meadows Amphitheater (I saw Lollapalooza 1 there). Michael Lee was amazing on drums too R.I.P. - no crowd shots but what a performance! My favorite version of one of my favorite rock songs ever.
There are rock singers. There are rock performers. There are rock legends. Then there are ROCK GODS!!! Led Zeppelin was beyond the beyond.
Jason Bonham
I can't imagine life without hearing Led Zeppelin.
Led Zeppelin is another dimension.
We’re lucky.
John Paul Jones is the back bone of the group , playing 2 key boards and the bass line with his feet ,awesome, Jones dosen't get accolades he deserves.
No he certainly did not!
Loved your reaction 😂 you sat for 5 minutes with your jaw open having your face melted off in disbelief. When a 70's band comes out of retirement to remind us all what Rock & Roll is.
This was their last. It was a tribute. This was after 25 odd years that they didn’t preform. That tells you how good they are...hell GREAT!
I was one of the 20 million people who applied for tickets in the first couple of hours on sale. Needless to say I didn't get any. The people here are very lucky.
"BIG TIME"

Same!
According to RUclips comments, out of the 20,000 tickets for that concert, only 2 million got them 😂
@@DougZbikowski I knew the 02 was big....
At the time i had a friend who was a music agent and he got us tickets for this show. When they broke into this song the eruption was so electric that i got goosebumps from head to toe.

It cracks me up to see your jaw drop when Robert starts singing
Those three old men really knew their couple of tricks. And Bonzo's son surely would've made his father proud.
Maybe the greatest song of maybe the greatest rock band of all time
Led Zeppelin is life changing.

He really stepped up to honour his father and the band's legacy. This was their final concert. It was a one night show and tickets were by lottery. 20 million tickets requested for this concert.
Jason was the star of this show. But this was not Led Zeppelin. A great alternative version, but not the same dynamic without Bonzo.
Yep, in the lottery and I didn’t get one. Bad news, there won’t be a next time. Glad we still have this.
There were 20000 in the audience and 20million applied for tickets
Ok agreed!!!
Obviously not the original 70s Zep!
But are they not sounding Absolutely F*cking Sensational!!!!!...
And Jason is a Great drummer!
Who else could have stepped into his Dad's shoes so Beautifully?!!!!.....
They are not decades beyond their peak. Here they are, AT THEIR PEAK. Brilliance.
This song all by itself proves just how much genius they had.
You can feel how committed Robert Plant was during this performance, he knew this was going to be it FOREVER and he left it ALL put there.. When he does the ad libs Can I, Can I, Can I, Can I .. Whoooh!! That is my favorite part of the performance and gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it..
We were so spoiled with all that musical talent back in the day, never to be repeated or duplicated, Zep and all the rest
Well said.🤘
I say this often.
We were spoiled living in a world of riches and thought it was just this way and that it would always be so.
We were LUCKY!!!
we were spoiled by too many pauses
I’m 64, my first concert 1971 Jethro Tull, I was 13. I’ve seen, Zepplin, Stones, Eagles, Dylan, The Dead, Jefferson Starship, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Petty, Heart, Doobies, Jackson Browne, Kiss, Bonnie Raitt, Blues Brothers, James Brown, BB King, The Band, over 400 concerts, and counting.
And Jimi Hendrix. Nowadays they just use electronic beats and sounds so no talent needed. Oh, and rap is just talking, not singing.
This song with a good pair of head phones will give you goose bumps.
This performance gives me goosebumps from head to toe just through my phone speaker!
A masterful performance and rendition. To say these guys rock is a gross understatement. Perhaps the greatest rock band of all time.
They truly were the best even 30 years later.
on equal with Pink Floyd, both were the vey best ever (voted by millions)
& this is precisely why 20 million people tried getting tickets for a venue that they were selling 20 thousand tickets for!!! Bonzo’s sons name is Jason. So glad you listened to all us crazy LED HEADS & watched this version too. Definitely Trampled Under Foot Earls Court and I strongly recommend In My Time of Dying also Earls Court 1975. ☮️
Ledheads and Deadheads and Motorheads, oh my!
@swingshift love the cough
I failed to get tickets that were sold online due to huge demands.
@@jasongoweser5152 you definitely weren’t alone. This single performance had the highest ratio of fans trying to get tickets.
They should have done a bigger show 20 thousand is so low for a chance like this..
Lucky are the People who can say : " I WAS THERE " .
My man you are listening to GREATNESS pure God given talent. Best rock bad that has ever been. That's how it's possible. True Is legends
These gentlemen set the bar so high for music that everything dims in comparison !! They had so much swag and charisma that they made it look so easy .
I was born in 1958 and grew up with these guys in their prime. Can you understand why we say we had the greatest bands and music of all time? No Autotune, no half-naked women dancing around, just pure from the gut and windpipes into the vocal cords songs of talent. Some songs are sung by Led Zep like "When The Levee Breaks" which is a cover song written back in 1925 and became a hit in 1927. This song was written by the singer Robert Plant. I hope you will take the time to check out our time in music from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, right up to today, which still has some great bands and music. Not many, but some..
Born in 1957, we were so damn lucky
@@jillybrooke29 Oh you got that right...
We are the same age and totally agree with you ❤
Jason Bonham is as amazing as his father!
This whole concert is hauntingly beautiful !!
One of the crowd shots after the encores is a young woman in tears. She knew. This was going to be the band's last performance together. She was too young to have seen them in their day But she did get to see that even in old age they were the GOAT, still able to bring a stadium to its feet as they dazzled with power of their music and their virtuosity.
I would've cried too. Just to have had the chance, but I never have. Hey they weren't too old here...late 50s and early 60s 😁
My favorite line in after concert press is when they were asked what was each of their favorite parts of concert. JP said That we lived through it.
I saw Zep at their final UK performance at knebworth festival in 1979. Shortly after that John Bonham died. The fact that they sounded this good nearly three decades later is testament to the quality of these guys. There will never be another Led Zeppelin
The Knebworth Festival was two weekends in August '79. Bonham died in September '80.
This is the greatest song ever written and performed. From the first note to the last and every single piece in between is absolute perfection from four masters at their craft absolutely beautiful
I agree
There's about 40 better LZ songs than this one
@@jamiepasquariello2652 Nope... Note one single one. This is it.
The integrity this band has, promoters were salivating watching and listening to this performance. The $$$$ that was thrown at them to take this on the road was bananas and they said NO you have to respect that.. 👏🏾👏🏾
Led Zeppelin - the more you listen….yes- it’s like that….talent at a level we don’t have today. Enjoy your rock journey❤️🎼❤️
the great timeless superbands, like Pink Floyd and Led zepelin were driven by raw talent and creativity.
today's music is driven by profit, whoever makes trough makes it not because he is good, or talented, but because of how much money he can generate for the editor/publisher.
landscape changes..signs of times.
This was their last performance. They had done a couple of one-offs in the 80’s but both were marred by lack of time for rehearsal. So when they agreed to perform for this tribute to Ahmet Erdogan, their friend as well as the person who signed them to St,antic Records, they did so with the intention to show the world that their fame and legend was not hype but deserved. So they carved out the time to rehearse…to make Jason feel comfortable and part of the band, and to make sure they were in the best form they could possibly be, including a full dress rehearsal, which is also on RUclips. Off and on, they rehearsed six weeks. Jason was a treasure trove for them, because he had ALL the bootlegs of Zeppelin, and had studied his dads drumming from all the concerts for which there were recordings, so if Jimmy or JPJ couldn’t remember a particular transition or how they had ended a song, he could literally say “well, in Detroit in 1973 you did it this way, or in 1975 you did it that way”. What a resource they had in Jason! Plus, he’s a damn fine drummer in his own right.
I have always believed Bonzo came down and Jason channeled his spirit that night. Jason sounded so much like his father when he was playing. I got chills so many times watching Celebration Day.
And he can pretty much nail dad's solo.
They were musical geniuses
It makes me emotional seen Jason take over from his Dad on drums. So proud of him and he looks so proud too and loving it
HELL YES!!! the boys STILL have it!!!
they never lost it, thing is, there was nothing else remaining to be conquered.. they did all in their time, they were at the peek of the world, there was nothing left to do.
but as great masters as they are, if called upon, they can still do it as good as before, thats what difers the good, from the very great
In my opinion, this is the best version of the GOAT rock song by the GOAT rock band!
This was their first and last full concert in 27 years. They crushed it.
Absolutlely loved this version of Kashmir,]. It's the best one as far as I'm concerned. The whole Celebration Day concert is great. I think Robert Plant has a richness in his voice that wasn't there when he was younger. Yay for the old guys (of which I am one).😄🙃🙃.
Literally, hundreds of millions of dollars was offered to them to tour after this show. There was such a desire by their fans to see them that they could have toured for a year and not satisfied the demand. But Robert refused. They all said when Bonzo died that Zeppelin could not continue. But after this performance, Jimmy desperately wanted to continue and tour. Remember, Zeppelin was his creation, and he was the “keeper of the flame” if you will. But Robert refused. And there were many reasons. Casual fans were furious…..they wanted to see Zep perform again. But if you were are a serious fan, or had followed Plant through his long solo career, and knew something about his character, it was understandable.
Zeppelin had ceased to be, as Robert himself put it , “an affair of the heart” for him after his son died. Bonzo talked him into retuning to the band. And after his best friend died, that cut the last chord for him. There had been allot of dark and rough years for him in Zeppelin starting in 1975, and some of those old tensions were still there. He had spent decades having a successful solo career, and he didn’t want to be drawn back into that “Golden god” roll again. He didn’t need the money. Trying to sing like that at 59 years old on a tour could have damaged his voice irreparably. Finally, and most importantly: Robert’s idea of hell is repetition. Throughout his life he has sought musical inspiration from from different traditions. He was at the time of this concert, also touring with his own band, Strange Sensations. He also had started his collaboration with Allison Krauss, which was musically exciting and challenging to him…and the album from that collaboration led to a year-long tour and won 5 Grammies in 2009. When he comes to money versus what moves his heart and drives his musical passions, Robert will pick his heart every time. He does not live his life for Zeppelin fans….nor his own for that matter, but for what feeds his soul. I respect that. He is still performing, and he is touring his new album with Krauss this summer. He’s now 74 and has no intention to stop until he has to…..Willie Nelson being his example. He writes and performs music because he HAS to…..not for the money, but because it’s who he is, and, as he has often said, only half in jest, it helps to keep him sane. Ever moving forward to the new, never dwelling in the past, that’s who he is. I don’t know as Jimmy has ever made his peace with Robert’s decision, and Jason and JPJ were disappointed. But so be it.
I think there are 2 reasons. The first and main reason is - he just can't sing like that any more, but he knew that from about 75 onwards. Second is, he respects the legacy and knows it remains in the past, to carry into the future. I for one am glad they didn't do the whole glitz reunion, and I don't think Celebration Day is Led Zeppelin, because it isn't. People that rave about this need to go and watch Denmark. That, is Led Zeppelin.
When their together at interviews and a reunion gets mentioned, you can visibly see the disappointment on Jimmy's face when Robert shoots down the notion.
THe band had agreed to tour with Jason but Jimmy broke a finger and the tour was postponed then canceled after Plant decided he didn't want to do it. this was after Celebration day.
@@paulriddle7818 hmm….actually, CelebraTion Day was originally scheduled for early November of 2007,but had to be postponed until December because Jimmy broke his finger. Heard allot of interviews and read some books….never a mention of Jimmy breaking his finger again after the concert. What’s your source? Plant had no intention of touring…He was in the middle of his collaboration with Alison Krauss and a tour was planned for 2008 fir that. He agreed to this performance to honor his friend Ahmet, and to honor Led Zeppelin’s legacy…..to finish it off with a triumph. They accomplished that. And then Robert was done. If you have a source that says otherwise I would be very interested in knowing it.
Page was disappointed, but ultimately OK with Plant's refusal to your again. He understood that Plant wasn't the fearless, brash young guy he'd been when they originally formed.
JPJ is the secret sauce in Zeppelin. He is an amazing musician.
Now, you know what your grandparents listened to! There was GREAT MUSIC back then!
There's LOUD, There's Talented and there's LED ZEPPELIN.
Don't we all wish that we could have a son who could totally sit in for you, his father, and deliver a performance like this?
i am sure, wherever he is at, John Bonham was very proud of his son, Jason Bonham on this concert
@@rswpt No doubt about it! Jason had one of the finest teachers in the world.
I was there, right in front of pagey, second row from the stage, t'was fantastico! Kashmir and In My Time of Dying were the highlights for me, but the whole show was great tbh
Ruined you for any future concerts....you still have your hearing?
You are one DAMN lucky sod!
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 i know
I heard there were other top bands in attendance...like Oasis, etc...did you see any by the stage? Dam you were lucky to be at that show. The acoustics are haunting.
@@kevinc8947 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmet_Ertegun_Tribute_Concert#Opening_acts paul rodgers was great
it's just another masterpiece from Led Zeppelin. one of many.
These old musicians are so fricken good!! Just amazing
in their time, you had to be trully Talented to get trough all the noise and be sucessfull.
today you only need looks and autotune. (computer assisted)
This brought tears to my eyes that night. It was such an astonishing show and this topped everything. As for the crowd, it was huge grins or open mouthed to the glory of this track,
Star studded audience was there.Jeff Beck ,Michael Jagger ,David Gilmore and Paul McCartney among some of the notables
Dave Grohl…
Britain's elite
Really???
Greatest rock band ever period bands have been chasing them for years and they haven't been caught.

Led Zeppelin is without equal. No one ever comes close and never will.
This is f-ing amazing!! Plants voice is spot on, still holding those notes! Of course Jimmy still has it, probably the best guitar player ever!! And then Jason, John's son who said he practiced n practiced and practiced all of the songs to get them down pat, and that he did, just like his dad.. 🎶🤘🎵
I never got to see Led Zeppelin sadly but I did get to see Robert Plant a few years before this concert. He did some new songs and a lot of Led Zeppelin songs. I was right down the front and he was amazing.
It is very fun to watch the beginning of this concert where they briefly show a clip from a news report on a Zeppelin concert from 1970 or so on a “TV” screen, and then you hear the opening chords of Good Times Bad Times ring out and the stage lights go up and the crowd goes absolutely NUTS. And why shouldn’t they? Those lucky 18,000 or so people had LITERALLY won the lottery for tickets to this once in a lifetime event. If I had a time machine, this would be one of my stops…..assuming I had a ticket of course! 😁🤘
When Zeppelin steped on thr stage as force unit, it striked like a magical thunder controlled by 4 men.
Celbration Day is a worthy purchase. Watching the rehearsals is fun
"he sounds the same, how is that possible?"
Hail, Satan? Love the reaction so much. I think it's hard for people that didn't grow up with Led Zeppelin to really appreciate just how impossible this moment was and it was awesome seeing how it hit you.
We will never get a bad this level again in my opinion.
I so appreciate your appreciation for pure raw beautiful magical unmatched musical talent
Before I even watch, YAY!I've wanted you to see some music from this show. ❤️❤️ this is bomb, and we'll never get tired of Kashmir
Good God this gives me chills. I fricken love this performance. THIS is legend.
Led Zeppelin's last performance was July 7, 1980 in Berlin, Germany (I have a soundboard CD). The last song they ever played was Whole Lotta Love. They were closing out a European tour just prior to a US tour, which never happened.
This concert (2007) is the last time the remains of the group played together, and is likely the last. The large Stonehenge-like pylons you see on the screen graphics are a clever nod to "The Object" from the album cover,: "Presence," the next album.
The WLL from that last Berlin show was such a spectacle, as well. Listen to JPJ!
@@xytrius8194 Last show of the tour....they left it all on the stage!
This is the last performance to honour Armhet Ertigun who signed them, but only did this concert as a memorial to him.
I grew up with this music. To watch peoples reactions now that I’m in my late 60s it’s amazing.
These guys of Led Zeppelin are truly the gods of Rock n' Roll!!!! Your reactions>>>>>>PRICELESS!!!! LMAO!!!!! I have seen Led Zeppelin 4 times.....I would love to see them in their late years perform. And they are still performing across the pond.....if they tour here in the US.....I am going to that concert!!!! Love your reactions!!!
ticket sales and requests for this concert set worldwide records. McCartney, The Stones, Pink Floyd, the concert was filled with top celebrities and musicians, too. What an experience for all whom were able to see these incredible musicians. The best of the best, then, now, forever!
One of Jimmy’s favorite songs to end the spectacle that is LED ZEPPELIN!
Next...In My Time Of Dying and Trampled Under Foot both 1975 Earls Court! This was their last performance 😢 Please don't forget In My Time Of Dying in Earls Court 1975 too!!
Listen to Julie!
@@tektoniks_architects 💜☺
One amazing fact is that John Paul Jones plays the base with his feet at the same time as the keyboards!
True, but he played the bass notes with bass pedals, not a bass guitar. If you have ever seen a pipe organ, they also have bass pedals.
@@marksmith2738 Yes of course! But its the bass notes!
Just getting around to checking this reaction out and ... I LOVED IT!!! love seeing your appreciation for these legends. I could go on forever about Zeppelin, this song, the performance and your reaction (which was awesome!!👊🙃) but I'll spare y'all that and simply say that this performance is proof of what I've always known (some people just don't seem to get though! lol!!🤦♀) But I'm gonna say it again for whatever it's worth...
IMO, this performance highlights one VERY important fact in the journey here on earth and that is that while their bodies have aged greatly... their souls remain the same (that's my silly play on "the song remains the same"! lol!!😅). Robert and Jimmy's souls in particular SHINED exactly the same as they did back in the 70's. And that is because... it's only our bodies that age!!!👊 We gather a ton of wisdom in our heads throughout the years (and a lot of bullshit too!!🙄) and live according to the crap in our heads but deep down inside, our souls remain the same!!! In a nutshell, our souls don't age... it's just the body that does...
Anyway, since this performance displays that beautifully, I thought I'd share my thoughts on the matter!🤗 Great reaction!! Peace and light to all...💞
Pure Bliss to the core of the soul
Robert Plant has a good set of solo material going back quite a few years, and is still a great singer.
His live cover of Song To The Siren is outstanding. Hope you eventually get to his solo work.
Nice going doing this tour! As old as they are here...STILL the greatest!! Jason did his dad proud! Yeah they did No Quarter here too!
This was--to date--Led Zeppelin's final performance. The 3 surviving members of the band only reunited to perform together 4 times: Live Aid in 1985; the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary celebration in 1988; the band's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 1995; and the Celebration Day concert in 2007, which was in tribute to the late Ahmet Ertegun, the Atlantic Records executive who originally signed Led Zeppelin to the label.
None of those performances were "Led Zeppelin," as John Bonham died in 1980, taking that band with him.
@@tektoniks_architects I get what you're saying, but according to the band itself these performances count as Led Zeppelin performances.
@@johnpetrie1918 So let me ask you this: If Jimmy Page had died, and not Bonzo.....and Plant, Jones, and Bonzo went on tour and called it: "Led Zeppelin," would it be "Led Zeppelin?" Would you consider that "Led Zeppelin?" If you answer is "no," then a band without Bonzo isn't Led Zeppelin either. And it isn't.
And I'd sure love to see proof of where the band itself called these performances "Led Zeppelin," because I've never seen that in print or in an interview.
@@tektoniks_architects umm... the concert has literally been released as a Led Zeppelin album & concert film. It's included in the band's official picture book released in 2018. Your hypothetical about Page dying is irrelevant. The band itself have referred to their handful of reunion performances as official band performances. You're free to hold the opinion that Celebration Day "doesn't count" as a Led Zeppelin album but I assure you the band itself would disagree.
So in other words ....you didn't answer my questions. Fair enough.
I'm there every time I listen to them. Thank you Led Zeppelin for taking me there every time I hear yoy
Thanks for doing this one Salvo! Enjoying all your videos every morning!
The whole gig is just brilliant.
If you watch more from this concert, there are plenty of shots of the crowd….the entire two hour concert is superb.
It amazes me that Robert still has his pipes after so much time. He is an incredible rock and roll singer
Led Zeppelin are just the ultimate. This live performance of Kashmir will be in my soul when I die. The best. I feel blessed to have had this music throughout my life.
Showing the young rockers how it's really done.
I was there…’nuff said
I'm dripping with jealousy
Lucky! I couldn't get a ticket!
@@ptxaholic me too!
I was at Live Aid ...I guess you win that one! Lucky you.
" ...Led Zeppelin left the stage that night with just one message..." We were the best , and we still are. " - David Fricke , Rolling Stone
Jason Bonham in his own right is one of the best drummers in the world. Why wouldn't he be, his dad was his personal teacher.
Back when they would play this live in 75 and 77, Page use to mimic John Paul Jones' middle eastern keyboard scales and riffs on his guitar, especialy during the last segment of the song. Nice review from a brilliant performance by Zeppelin.
They set the bar so high no one else has reached it. Greatest band ever.
To perform like this 27 years after calling it a day after John Bonham died truly remarkable.
I was there. I had seen them multiple times in the 70s. But if you want to know what the crowd was like, I saw kids in front of me who were literally weeping at this show. I was standing right next to the VIP section and was able to watch Paul McCartney, Brian May, Jeff Beck, Dave Grohl, (god help me) Paris Hilton etc etc etc etc and they were all on their feet dancing during Kashmir (except Beck who seemed to be more interested in chatting up the blonde sitting next to him who had a look on her face like "Shut the f" up Jeff.")
At this concert, Jason was in his 40s, Robert in his late 50s, and both Jimmy and Jonesy in their early 60s. Robert has focused on his solo career. He will occasionally perform Zep songs in his own concerts but has no interest in performing with the other two.
You did it the right way. NEVER listen to the live cut first, always the studio cut.
This was last performance ever and only very few ever done since 1980. They nailed this one and Jason great drummer in his own right doing his Dad proud. I prefer Knebworth as Led Zep with Bonzo. Can't be Led Zep without Bonzo holding it all down. But they get real close to the next best thing here. Imagine 20 mill people tried to buy tickets for this one concert 27 years after they disbanded. Amazing!!
This was their last song on the almost two hour set. They closed with it because, to the surviving members, it is THE song that they feel best represents Zeppelin’s sound. It has all the majesty, the power, the Moroccan and Middle Eastern influences…..They then did two encores…Whole Lotta Love and Rock and Roll….making it a full two hour concert. The entire concert is available on DVD and on RUclips. It is my favorite concert movie. Definitely do more from the O2. Once you get through all eight albums, you could screen the entire concert on your patreon channel ……..You would get allot of new patrons if you did that, myself included.
There are interviews of some of those attending this concert. It was al lottery, because they had 20m requests for tickets. Lots of musicians and celebrities attended.
I was fortunate to be there 30 feet from the front watching Jimmy doing his magic .
At the sides stars packed the seats to watch this in astonishment
I wept with joy .
Man that's so cool!
Yes, Trampled Underfoot AND In My Time of Dying, both from Earls Court 1975.
Jason is John’s son! He started playing drums at age 4 like his Dad did! He always wanted to play in his dad’s band! John is listening and is sooo proud!!!
You should do the whole 02 zeppelin concert! You get plenty of shots of the crowd through the whole concert!
Me and five friends were set to meet the members of Zeppelin backstage and see them from the first couple of rows in Landover, MD, but John Bonham died a few weeks before the concert. Me and two friends had gone into their Swansong office in New York City and we were walking around looking at their platinum albums in and around like we belonged. All of a sudden a big dude steps out and says WTF are you doing? How did you get in here? We just in a chilled way say we're huge fans from DC. He's getting ready to kick us out, but he can tell we're harmless and legit fans, and I tell him I had been in that office the summer before with my grandparents and mom, which was 100% true. He laughs and has us come into an awesome studio to listen to a new band signing to Swansong. He and his friends, some lady friends ended up enjoying having us as teenage guests up on I think the 52nd floor. They gave us pictures & souvenirs and said when Zeppelin plays in DC, we'll have you meet them, and each of us could bring someone. I was wondering what the hell am I going say to the band when I meet them. It was very sad, the folks we met at Swansong were close friends with the band. I called to thank Mitch for setting us up, he was depressed about his buddy Bonzo. It was a strange feeling as a Senior in High-school. It's amazing what can happen in life if you just do unconventional stuff. He told us no one ever showed up there, the address was on the albums. The security guard just gave us the green light. As awful as it was at the time for me, the real tragedy was for their families and friends. Robert of course had list his son about 4 years earlier.
I respect that everyone wanted a reunion after this concert. All I can say is that Robert knew there were songs that he just could sing anymore. There were songs that Jimmi and JP wanted to do but Robert said no. To sing at 60 + years old there are things your voice can't do anymore. I respect Robert for not wanting to lower the bar on expectations. I would have loved to see them go on tour again, but I understand Roberts POV. The greatest Rock Band Ever and I never would want to hear them and say " I remember when they were good!!!! They were the GOAT and will always be the GOAT .
Which is precisely what I’d been saying about Geddy’s voice for a long time, sad but glad they finally retired.
Both groups music rocks on in history.
I think Robert has regrets about not coming to the US after the O2. Keep in mind Led Zeppelin were much more popular in America than in the UK. The States accepted Zeppelin early on and concerts were always sold out from day one. That continued until Bonzo passed in 1980. Robert's solo career was also built here in North America long before elsewhere. So, to not do the Ahmet Ertegun tribute here was a slight to the people that truly supported Zeppelin throughout their careers. It's all on Robert however, the others wanted to do a few shows here after the huge success of the O2 show.
huh...how would you possible know any of this, you've never spoken to Robert or any of them..and who TH is JIMMI?
Glad you checked this out! You would definitely enjoy the whole concert. No Quarter, Trampled Under Foot, and For Your Life are notable performances and For your life was the first time they ever performed the song live.
Led Zeppelin and puppy dogs should live forever.. majestic and worthy!
The cool part about zeppelin is you can listen to the same song performed live at different concerts and it is never the same! It’s almost like a whole different song each time because they improvise so much! Definitely check out some more songs from this concert
I can’t believe Plant still has that HAIR!!!😂🤣🤣
I have good news SalvoG - you can get yet another later flavor of Kashmir with Page & Plant Unledded tour 1995 at the late great Irvine Meadows Amphitheater (I saw Lollapalooza 1 there). Michael Lee was amazing on drums too R.I.P. - no crowd shots but what a performance! My favorite version of one of my favorite rock songs ever.
That entire recording is sonically fantastic. Kashmir is killer in every form but especially this one!
