Presto-digitation Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 He plays well in the spirit of his father without mimicry. The other three were PLEASED with his performance. You couldn't wipe the smiles from their faces when they'd look back at him playing. Jason had to feel one hundred feet tall that night. That's some pressure. Playing in the wonderful, historic band your dad helped create and standing in his vast shadow...trying to carve out a place in that for yourself and to do your dad's music proud. John was an amazing player, so no simple feat. Really it couldn't have possibly been more appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 My top 2 songs, I think, were Kashmir and No Quarter. Ironically -- and the performance is not completely flawless -- Stairway To Heaven is probably my "least" of the lot. Didn't see that coming.

Steevo Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I've only watched the blu ray and listened to the CDs so far. K, you will beat me to it I'm sure, can't snag quite yet. Let me know, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCM Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Listening to the CD right now, doesn't sound much better than either of the bootlegs that I have. I was expecting a better sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Watched the bluray last night. In a word, fantastic. They were truly on another level that night. Kashmir is astounding. This is an absolute must buy for any zeppelin fan. Edited November 20, 2012 by greg2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steevo Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hopefully tomorrow night for me. Resisted all samples for a good treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Fantastic :haz:And I'd agree with Presto-digitation that Kashmir and No Quarter were the high spots. I thought No Quarter had by far Page's best soloing of the night. He was on fire on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I just bought the CD/DVD combo yesterday. Watched the DVD last night and the CD today. I really liked the version of Stairway. Robert's singing seemed much sadder. I feel No Quarter & Trampled Underfoot were the two best songs of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 In for an insane visual treat this weekend with this, Octane Twisted and the reissued Yessongs all lined up. I'm done! :D-13: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbirdsong Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I'm loving the CD version. I haven't been listening to Zep much lately and it broght back all kinds of memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I'm loving the CD version. I haven't been listening to Zep much lately and it broght back all kinds of memories. Me too! I bought the DVD+CD combo on Thursday, saw only the highlights and brought the CDs to liste to during work. Honestly, I can´t remember the last time I´d heard No Quarter, maybe 20 years ago! Great show, and surely a night to remember. I think they made the right decision not to carry on touring, it would banalyze the whole experience...but if they did a VERY short one, like 5 or 10 dates only, there could be changes in the set and all that. Imagine how great would Custard Pie, The Ocean, In the Evening etc. sound today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 If I had to choose three of the best performances from the DVD inpo: For Your Life, No Quarter and Kashmir. Superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemispheresserehpsimeH Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 For Your Life is one of my all-time favourite Zep songs and I'm so glad that they did it live for this. It sounds great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Got a couple of friends that had live Zep ruined for them by Song Remains the Same to watch the blu-ray saturday night and they were amazed at the quality of the band and the actual recording. Page is still a little sloppy at times and I never cared for his added flourishes during stairway but the energy level is fantastic and both Page and Plant sound better bow than on SRtS. Jason Bonham really blew them away too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N.

Jason Bonham really blew them away too. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Page's work on TSRTS or HTWWW. I think he's sloppy and "noodles" way too much, I was stunned that he broke out the bow on Dazed on Confused on Celebration Day (or I assume he did, I have the CD but not the DVD). I guess 11 minutes is an improvement over 30 minutes, but jeez guys, learn when it's time to move on from something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxster Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I finally.. FINALLY.. downloaded this, is on sale at amazon for $5.99. Wow, what a gift. Pretty amazing stuff, even if they did fix a couple things in the studio. It was a one-off, after all. They were one of the greatest bands ever, and still had it in 07- in spades. Son Jason did a great job. It's a shame they didn't take it on the road, switched out some songs. IMO it wouldn't have besmirched LZ's legacy. I think it's safe to assume this isn't going to happen again, so, it's a gift. A real celebration. :haz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitboaf Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 There was an embarrassing period of five years when the best live Led Zeppelin album might actually have been Great White's Great Zeppelin (released 1998).Then we got How the West was Won in 2003 and the TSRTS Remaster in '07.Now with Celebration Day, it's almost an embarrassment of riches for great live Zeppelin albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
