A two-hour concert film that shows a reunion concert from Led Zeppelin in 2007. Three of the original members are present, with drummer John Bonham (who died back in 1980) replaced by his son, Jason John Bonham, who does a great job at seamlessly fitting into the rest of the band and their songs.
As far as concert films go? It's good, but not great. I wasn't crazy about the visual presentation- editor was a little too excited about cutting to different shots in rapid succession at points, and there's some weird, choppy slow-motion used sparingly but is still distracting every time.
Thankfully, it sounds great, and for fans of Led Zeppelin's music, that's the main thing. I didn't think they sounded great at first (Robert Plant's vocals were just a little off for the first couple of songs), but after a while they got into the groove, and I soon stopped thinking about how the three original band members were all about 60 at the time of recording.
Nothing amazing as far as concert films go, but a good watch for Led Zeppelin fans.
