When I first saw Led Zeppelin, they were the middle show of the British Blues shower festival in 1969, with the headlines fleewood Mack and John Mayr ten years later.
The others are fine, but the Zeppelin is very refined.
They stole the show.
On the way to selling 0. 3 billion records in the future, such things often happen.
Flash to 2007.
Led Zeppelin's debut in 27 years-a charity fund-
An event for the Ahmet Ertegun Foundation at the O2 Arena in London.
More than 20 million people took part in the lottery, but only 18,000 won the lottery.
For those lucky few, it will become a "day of celebration", which is also new, long term
The film of the show was postponed.
It will be held first in London, New York, Berlin and Tokyo, and then in two cities

Ray and DVD were released in November. 19.
In a recent screening in New York, I was struck by how powerful and easy the band has turned around the past.
Robert Prante, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones are in front of the drummer Jason Burnham (
Original drummer John's son of Zeppelin)
, The group played two hours of Zep favorites from the opening ceremony "good time bad time (
The first song of their debut album)to all-time classic-
The rock hit "The stairs to heaven.
They were framed in a hightech, color-
LED screen that will make U2 envy.
"Thank you for letting us go through thousands of emotions," Plant told the crowd, including celebrities Paul McCartney, Dave Geer, Oasis, and the "three generations of Pressman ", as Page will say later. (
The celebrities probably did not take part in the lottery. )
The competition will now make the film as legendary as its performance.
Grant Carlton, CEO of dealer Omniverse Vision, said in a telephone interview with Europe: "I started working on this issue two years ago . ".
"We are basically engaged in the business of so-called" alternative content "or" active cinema.
This is about things outside the regular movie mode, if you want, and creating events around them.
"Event Cinema is an emerging niche market, and it is clear that it is driven by digital cinema and is also growing in emerging markets such as Brazil and Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and China, Carlton added.
From the perspective of the release, The Zeppelin film will be Omniverse by far the biggest global event.
The second largest is the live broadcast of the 25 th anniversary of The Phantom of the opera at the Royal Albert Hall in London, to 900 theaters around the world.
The Zep film is the pinnacle of director Dick Carruthers's career.
He is a long-time partner of the band and has worked for the band.
On 2007, the release of their concert film "Song unchanged.
Carruthers used 15 cameras to shoot the Zeppelin at the O2 Arena. Most were high-
But he also has three Super 8.
"Those domestic family film cameras in their 70 s," he said . ")
Planted in the crowd.
Super 8 s made his fuzzy video mixed with HD video, giving a feeling of piracy.
It works beautifully.
And, in the only non
At the moment of the concert, he added humorous footage from a news station in Tampa, covering the Zeppelin stadium concert held there on 1973, attracting 50,000 people.
"This is Robert Plante's idea," Carruthers said in a telephone interview in London . ".
"We found it a small historical antique from the archives.
"The band also gave Carruthers the full power to shoot whatever he wanted, thus fostering an amazing intimacy in the images taken. “Jimmy [Page]
"We want you to be friendly so everyone can see what we're playing with," he said . "
This is very different from when I took the white striped Jack White.
Jack hit his waah-wah (guitar)
He stepped on the pedal with his foot, but he said, "Can you take it out ? "?
I don't want people to know how I make this sound.
So I mentioned this to Jimmy Page and he said, no, I want people to see what I'm playing.
Display the pedal, display the foot, and show off-
My hand is on the guitar.
"So we ended up with many things that we have never seen in the world --the close-
Jimmy and John Paul Jones play bass on the keyboard with pedals.
You heard it and wondered if it was a dubbing, but it was him playing with his feet.
"Another smart move is that Carruthers installed a stationary camera on the drum.
"We didn't think of getting anything out of it, but from the rush Jimmy and John turn around and face Jason from time to time, and you'll get their great shots in front of the bass drum, this is not available to any camera operator.
"The performance of" Misty Mountain jump "reached its peak, accompanied by smooth images of stained glass windows on the LED screen;
On the next "Kashmir", one of the most mysterious songs of the Zeppelin, the plant shouts the mantra in it, "Let me take you there!
"Everyone's eyes are staring at us and waiting for this to happen --so-
"It's much right, but it's wrong," Plant said at a recent news conference in London . ".
"So then there was a real friendship.
"Alas, there is not enough friendship to inspire Zeppelin to travel again.
After the comeback show, the promoters offered them millions of dollars, but Plant, in particular, did not want to do so, but chose Alison Claus and Patty's small boutique album and tour.
One additional benefit for fans is that November will add a special disc for the full rehearsal of the O2 show to one of the DVD packs.
It happened at the Shepparton film studio, which also has a famous film studio.
Carruthers has only one camera installed in the back of the hall space, so it is completely different from all the cameras
Film attacks in the arena
Of course, a big question is, why does it take five years to "celebrate the end of the day?
"Five years is five minutes of the Zeppelin.
I was surprised that we took it out so soon.

"You have to look at it from a historical point of view," Carruthers said . ".
"It started in my 70 s until 2002 when I worked with Jimmy to make some DVDs and became [
"What is the West".
So what it tells you is that this is a band that will sit there all the time until the time is right.
They certainly have no business pressure.
There are no rules that apply to them now.
"After the London show, they locked these things in the vault, but I thought I would get a call at some point and say, 'Let's have a look.
'I did it,' Mr. Carruthers said. Carruthers is also making a variety of DVD packages.
"It's the most important thing for me to achieve this in the cinema and on DVD.
It doesn't feel like this now, but when it's all over, I don't
There is a lot of pressure and I have a big Sam Adams around me and I will be happy.
