Review of Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day (2012) by Paul E — 16 Oct 2012
It's rare that I really like a concert film. They just can't compete with the experience of being there. Also, they often throw in unnecessary effects or skits that take away from the main reason for seeing the film - the music.
Led Zeppelin's "The Song Remains The Same" was one of the worst offenders. Each band member had fantasy sequences that were pretty ridiculous. All I wanted to see was the show. Well, Zeppelin has remedied that mistake, plus some.
This is easily one of the best concert films I've ever seen. Full disclosure - Led Zeppelin ties with Queen as my favorite band, so I'm definitely not the most objective. But, I rate movies on how they make me feel.
This one kept a silly grin on my face and my feet tapping all the way through it. If you're a fan, this is a must-see. Also, Jason Bonham acquits himself magnificently - his dad would be proud.
