LED ZEPPELIN...Celebration Day (2012)
Celebration Day was released last year and reached number 9 on the U.S. Billboard album charts. It should have reached number 1, and I'll give it 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. It is an absolutely fun live recording. The band sounded like they had never been apart. By the way, since the breakup of Led Zeppelin 2 or all 3 have done several projects together over the years so it wasn't this unbelievable reunion that happened, but it was a great evening. Robert still has quite a bit of his vocal range, and of course Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham rocked the house down. I highly recommend it. The highlight is "Kashmir".
