The iconic band delivered the debut performance of the full version of the track from “Led Zeppelin II” at London’s O2 Arena on December 10, 2007, when they headlined a tribute event for friend and Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.
Released in 2012 as “Celebration Day”, the rare live appearance – which featured Jason Bonham behind the drums in place of his late father John – saw 20 million people apply for tickets through a worldwide lottery to the band’s first headline show in 27 years, which took place before 18,000 ticket holders at the London venue.
“Celebration Day” won Led Zeppelin a 2014 Grammy Award in the Best Rock Album category, while a second nomination – for “Kashmir” in the Best Rock Performance category – lost out “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons.
