No, tal como ya se ha mencionado en una información anterior, por lo visto la invitación que nos correspondía para poder asistir a la rueda de prensa oficial de presentación de este Celebration Day, y el posterior pase de la película, ha acabado perdida en alguna oficina de correos, pero sí que les llegó a algunos de los grandes Totems que a lo largo de las últimas décadas han seguido al grupo, y este es el caso de Dave Lewis, al que sin dudar le cambiaríamos el sitio, ya que es de los pocos que tiene línea directa con Page & cia, y eso lo viene demostrando desde hace años en su magnifica Tight but Loose, evidentemente una de las páginas de referencia a la hora de hablar del Universo Led Zeppelin.
Y es en Tight but Loose que desde hace unas horas se pueden leer sus primeras impresiones tras haber asistido a la premiere de este Celebration Day:
Some first impressions:
The Celebration Day film, –what can I tell you –it is just astonishing. Brilliantly directed by Dick Curruthers -the multi camera editing creates the feeling of beng right on stage with them… totally staggering –I welled up several times in unashamed emotional awe watching it and you will too.
The closeness of the four is superbly captured. The humorous glances between them light up the screen continually. As for individual song performances …again where to start – Ramble On is just incredible as is For Your Life, No Quarter –tremendous close ups on John’s playing. Stairway…there will not be a dry eye in the house when Robert utters those words ‘’Ahmet we did it.’’….Kashmir – just colossal.
This film is beyond life affirming – it’s life itself – living breathing joyous Led Zeppelin life all up on the big screen in superb sound quality. Totally, totally astonishing.
This is the sheer joy of Zeppelin for everyone to share. I have to say it again …totally, totally astonishing….
Those are some initial thoughts – a full review will follow.
The Press Conference was staged in Northumberland Avenue – the plush conference room was elaborately decked out in Celebration Day style complete with spotlights. Jimmy, Robert and John looked relaxed and on great form. The angered a variety of questions (including one from your TBL editor), with plenty of good humour and there was a lot of compliments for Jason. At one point Jimmy asked if we had enjoyed the film to mass applause.
All in all a simply sensational day. More on all this to follow tomorrow
As you can probably tell I am completely over whelmed with what I witnessed today…for once mere words are not enough –but when you see this film you will know what I mean…
Evidentemente si antes ya teníamos ganas de poder visionar este artefacto, después de leer lo que cuenta el amigo Dave, a nadie va a sorprender que ya estemos haciendo la cuenta atrás para que llegue el día de poder hacer lo mismo. Eso sí, el próximo lunes iremos a correos a reclamar nuestra invitación, que sin duda estará perdida en algún rincón….. o no……..
