Led Zeppelin Hit The Big Screen!

Gutted you didn’t get tickets to see Led Zeppelin in O2 Arena next Monday? How about travelling back in time to check out some of the most incendiary live performances ever?!

In what promises to be the concert of the decade on 10th December, Led Zeppelin are back and will headline at the O2 Arena Tribute Concert to the Late Ahmet Ertegun. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones will be joined by Jason Bonham, the son of their late drummer John Bonham for this historic concert of a lifetime that sold out in record time.

It is of course sold out, but to celebrate this event, Vue cinemas have teamed up with Warner Music to screen an exclusive ‘best of’ selection of Led Zeppelin live performances on the same night as the O2 concert across eight Vue cinemas.

Featured are performances from the Royal Albert Hall in January 1970, just one year after the release of their debut album, their triumphant five-night run at Earl’s Court in May 1975 and their record-breaking shows at the Knebworth Festival in August 1979, just one year before the death of drummer John Bonham led to the band’s dissolution.

These rare performances have been painstakingly restored, remixed, and remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround – under the personal supervision of Jimmy Page and director Dick Carruthers.

Mark de Quervain, Sales and Marketing Director for Vue Entertainment, said, “We are really excited to be able to give many fans who missed out on getting tickets for the reunion gig the chance to see these amazing performances on the big screen.”

Conrad Withey, President, Warner Music Entertainment, said, “Led Zeppelin are an awesome live band and this is a great opportunity to experience these stunning performances in a cinema. We expect there to be a real sense of occasion. The two disc DVD, from which these performances are taken, is superb way for fans, both long term and new, to delve deeper into the band’s history.”
