Ah. Well, the shop shuts at half eleven so they must've fobbed you off with a duffer so they could close up and go to the smart-drugs bar.

@IanB....there is a 2 cd soundboard recording of the rehearsals...
Supreme sound, and played with the same fire and intensity as the show...some say even better as it was for "fun"...the version of Song Remains the Same (IMHO) is better as Robert really stretchs it and himself out very well...hitting and holding the right notes...
I really hope these rehearsals are the same as the proposed bonus features.

Ha! I've just found that our favourite cinema, an arty little place in Shrewsbury is running this movie on Sunday night! It has nice seating, customers are allowed to take in a glass of wine and on this occasion the lovely folk who run might even permit stage diving.

Not a bad first night - http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/led-zeppelin-concert-film-extends-383421

LONDON – Online movie distribution and marketing platform Distrify is being inundated with more than 100,000 web hits a day from Led Zeppelin fans across the globe looking for movie theaters showing the film of the band’s historic concert in 2007 at London’s O2 arena.

The movie banked $2 million from its worldwide opening night playing 1,500 screens across 40 countries and has taken off so successfully that demand is now bringing the cinema back for further screenings as well as adding new cinema locations.

Distrify, the UK-based social media led distributor, is clocking up 46,000 searches a day for cinema showtimes and 4,000 demands a day from film fans for screenings in their area.

The top countries seeking information on seeing the film are the U.S., UK, Japan, Brazil, Canada, Italy, Germany, France, Mexico and Australia.

Of the initial 1,500 bookings, 190 are in the UK.

The Distrify player is a marketing and distribution platform which drives the film’s trailer on official websites and takes the consumer wherever they might be in the world directly to their nearest location for the film.

Fans can quickly find their location using GPS or by entering their postcode and immediately find out local showtimes for the film if their local cinema has already booked it, or if it hasn’t, they can demand a screening in their area.

Distrify CEO and co-founder Peter Gerard said: "Distrify is triggering thousands of searches for screenings worldwide with 4,000 film fans a day signing up to demand the film which is fantastic. What this means is that a film’s distributor is able to listen to the consumer, track where there is demand for a film, then offer the film to a cinema, and importantly communicate back to the film fan."

Theatrical distributor Omniverse Vision CEO Grant Calton said: "Being able to reach target audiences is a key part of any film’s release plan but being able to track where there is demand gives the distributor and cinema operators to react more actively to consumer demand in a way that hasn’t been possible before. On top of this excellent opening what we are now seeing is film fans worldwide demanding repeat screenings."

Although 20 million people applied for tickets to the 2007 Led Zeppelin concert, only 18,000 were able to get tickets through the worldwide lottery.

Omniverse Vision’s global release strategy saw the film launch on 1,500 screens in over 40 territories October 17 with premieres in London, Los Angeles, New York, and other major cities around the world.

Saw it last night. Thankfully it was loud. Very. The projectionist was up for accommodating the requests of a chap sat near us, who popped into the booth for a word.

The new and rather sophisticated Old Market Hall digital cinema has a good PA that responds very well to being pushed. It's usually set at number four for very good clarity and filling the room, but last night went up to 7.

It was a really good set. And nice to hear Plant crediting the blues players of old for inspiration. Sadly, no referrence was made to Spirit when introducing 'Stairway To Heaven', though. That aside, highlights for me were 'Trampled Underfoot', 'Kashmir' and 'Misty Mountain Hop'. All proper goosebump inducing stuff. Glassy eyed and grinning. Calamity Kid was very impressed, but his girlfriend was rather quiet afterwards. Our ears were ringing, I might add.

Envious of all who made the effort and saw this on a big screen with the volume turned up to 11. Just watched the first half of the DVD and i'm blown away by how good they are. That old cliche, fine wine gets better with age, certainly seems to apply here.

Working nights later so watched it stone cold sober. Reckon i'll be dancing around the living room on Friday evening when i've had a couple of looseners. Bring it on !
