Led Zeppelin Concert Film from 2007 Gig Hits Theaters This Week, Shawn of Planet 13 Says Expect a Huge Response

Friday, January 18th, 2013


Melbourne, Victoria (PRWEB) October 19, 2012

This weeks announcement by The Rolling Stone of Celebration Day, the Led Zeppelin concert film from their one-night-only gig in 2007, hitting the theatres on October 17th has not only created a burst of excitement amongst the fans who missed out, but has peaked sales and demand for Led Zeppelin products at online music store Planet 13.

The Led Zeppelin concert was filmed during the highly anticipated one-off concert in London, on 10 December 2007. The show was a tribute concert for Ahmet Ertegun, founder of Atlantic Records, and was their first headlining gig in 27 years.

Just the fact Led Zeppelin were performing once again was enough to knock fans on their sides, says Shawn Scott, life-long musician and owner of band merchandise store Planet 13, of the 2007 reunion concert, in the near-three decades of them being dormant, very few bands achieved the legendary status they did. Zeppelin’s music was revolutionary, and no ones come close to matching them since.

An astonishing 20 million people tried to get tickets to the show in 2007, but only 18,000 fans were lucky enough score a spot at the venue, which makes this film a dream come true for those who missed out. Shawn further adds, Imagine the frenzy that ensued once the tickets were released. Less than 1/10th of a percent of fans were going to get a seat, and because almost everyone who wanted to go, didnt get to go, theres an insatiable demand to see this film.

Celebration Day will hit 1,500 silver screens on October 17th, with a wider variety of audio and video formats being unleashed a month later on November 19th. Theres going to be another frenzy for all things Led Zeppelin once the film is out, comments Shawn, were already experiencing higher sales for Led Zeppelin products and are bracing for more demand as the holiday season approaches.

The 16-song concert set features the surviving members of Led Zeppelin rocking it out in true form, including vocalist Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist Paul Jones. Son of their late drummer John Bonham, Jason Bonham, proudly filled in on drums.

I appreciate what the band has done for our industry, remarks Shawn, and being a fan myself, I understand how important it is to see this Led Zeppelin concert film even if its only on the big screen – it’s probably the closest we’re going to get to seeing them live. The Celebration Day set list ran for over 2 hours, including popular songs such as ‘Stairway to Heaven’ and ‘Whole Lotta Love’.

“Everything Led Zeppelin does, and has done, becomes huge,” laughs Shawn, “and this film release will be just the same. We plan to stock the film for our customers once it becomes available on DVD.”

G Thompson’s Favorite Techdirt Posts Of The Week

Saturday, April 28th, 2012

Properly right here it is once more, the favored (with out a U) Techdirt publish of the week, brought to you by the one particular and only me, (and not U), G Thompson from that land down beneath, Australia, exactly where the courageous worry to tread, primarily due to the fact we make U appear in coloration, taste, and favor on discomfort of consuming Vegemite. )

All through this week there was a heap of content about that new acronym of geek protesters just about everywhere in the USA, CISPA. I am not planning to create about it much, a lot more than adequate has been written about it below this week, so forgive me if I skip more than it. In truth, to tell the real truth, at first I believed it actually meant “Congress Insidiously Spying on the Privacy of Americans”, before a person advised me the right meaning. Then once again, possibly my very first guess wasn’t far from the fact possibly.

Sunday started out off with a song and advertising display with Facebook’s new favored person, Dan Bull, that I “liked”.

On Monday however, a squad of BlackLight agents have been looking into the retransmission of the ultraviolet spectrum, while across town the accountants of Facebook wondered how much cash they could give Microsoft due to the fact they genuinely wished these shiny, however now used, things so they as well can perform in The Band, though only if Reddit just isn’t invited. No one particular is quite certain about the loyalty of DropBox to the clique possibly now.

At the very same time, [** these phrases taken out by Australian Authorities **] held talks, though luckily this ensured the venue’s rental arrangement they had was voidable and eradicated all context from anything easy to understand let on your own patentable. Confused? Never fear fifty Cent is as nicely and it really is no a lot less perplexing than not seeking warrant’s . Luckily this confusion did not influence any robots.

Tuesday had trolls everywhere hugging and blowing kisses to be accepted by Valve. Toronto residents became the privileged handful of authorized to pay out for any graffiti complaints. Captain Obvious flies in to make a shock look at the EU Court of Justice, even though the US currently knew his flight details from Monday.

The planet was informed that when we are by yourself with our computer systems we are lonely and on your own. Who realized? Possibly these Hollywood statisticians who it would seem enjoy to discussion maths. Probably the understanding was rather locked absent in a genetic memory discovered in an individual&rsquos virtual fantasy of entitlement. They far better make certain that’s a new fantasy and not a re-utilised one particular although.

In other planet news, the French unban and then tweet about 70 calendar year outdated encryption technologies and wonder if it will function greater than Hadopi does, whilst Kenya’s Substantial Court sends a massive hakuna matata to generic drug suppliers. Oh and stunning news was obtained that somebody has breached copyright by criticising Rush Limbaugh.. uhuh.

Wednesday had head bangers being altered by the tubes, although Slayer and Gaming still rocks, until you are really slaying right after enjoying video games, or so noobs say. The Info defense wizard of Europe then annoyed the Land of the Free by decreeing that liberty is crucial , whilst Jimmy Wales states that Hollywood isn’t really cost-free nor important. Rumblefish declared their new marketing and advertising technique of claiming copyright that 3rd functions tell them about and in homegrown news the Techdirt group tries to determine what copyfraud is or isn&rsquot, and something about reasonable use.

Thursday begins with two,514 cries of “Doe” heard starting a new hunting/fishing period for another trollish entity in Florida. The Uk normally takes a stand against twits on twitter, whilst somebody in the SEC wakes up and smells the tea in China. Meanwhile paintings all over the place are currently being blacked out to shield them from the insidious moving photograph cameras which may well suck out their cultural souls. Above in Australia nerfers are raining down missiles on Hasbro for its newest marketing campaign to accumulate addresses and deliver nothing at all but air and attorneys.

I believe feel the happenings this week ended up enough hold every person occupied, specially if you also had to examine the months worth of privateness insurance policies it appears you need to have way too these days, and that&rsquos even just before understanding what Google Push is doing with all your content material. I suspect someone will try out to patent a software package program to do all this for us someday. Now there’s an notion.

The place did Friday go you may possibly be pondering. Nicely my Friday is your Thursday, as a result my Saturday is your Friday and unfortunately that timey wimey International date thingy will get in the way. So as a substitute you can possibly comment about Friday’s posts under in the feedback or just faux like me that Fridays do not exist.

Hang on, that’s Mondays.
