"It’s just four guys playing their heart out, as Jimmy Page attested during today’s press conference:
'In every rehearsal leading up to (the reunion concert), Jason [Bonham] really played his heart out. We all played our hearts out, to be honest.'"
-- VH1.com

“The viewer is witness to full-on Led Zep sonic fury. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones’ performances, combined with Jason Bonham’s powerhouse drumming, just leap from the screen. Stellar 14-camera cinematography takes you onstage with the band, so every glance, wink and nod gives witness to their chemistry as the set unfolds. This is a film that needs to be seriously watched, digested and enjoyed over and over again. Younger fans that weren’t alive when the group was in its prime can see and experience what a magnificent band Led Zeppelin actually was.”

Fans in 40 territories around the globe will now be able to experience the legendary 2007 reunion concert from a front-row vantage.

Led Zeppelin makes more rock 'n roll history with the phenomenal concert film of their 2007 London reunion,” says Grant Calton, Omniverse Vision’s CEO. “Omniverse Vision is hugely excited to be the global theatrical distributor of Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day - it promises to be the cinema event of 2012.” 
 
Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day will be presented in high definition with surround sound in movie theatres for a strictly limited engagement. The band wanted fans to experience this film as if it were a live concert, and that is why Omniverse Vision was chosen for distribution; they pioneered this approach to "event cinema". Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day will be the last time that fans will have an opportunity to experience the band performing together on stage. Tickets for this historic event are limited. A list of theatres that will be showing this extraordinary concert event can be found online at www.ledzeppelin.com.
