Led Zeppelin’s “Celebration Day” concert from 2007 was the last concert for the time being, barring a reunion at some point (which according to Robert Plant, we know, is not very likely). To celebrate their 15th anniversary, the band made the entire performance from the O2 Arena in London available on YouTube on Saturday (December 10).
The last concert of Led Zeppelin in 2007
The group performed on December 10, 2007 to honor friend and Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, who died a year earlier. Founding members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones were joined by Jason Bonham, son of the late Zeppelin drummer John Bonham.
The show marked the band’s first performance since their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, and received far more critical acclaim than previous one-off reunions in the ’80s and ’90s. Classics performed during the 16-song set included “Black Dog”, “Dazed and Confused”, “Stairway to Heaven”, “Kashmir” and “Whole Lotta Love” among others. Previously unknown recordings of the formation from 1970 were only published in the middle of the year.
The concert was released in cinemas in October 2012 and released on DVD, Blu-ray and CD a month later, as well as being made available as an audio stream. Here is the recently released video recording of the show:
