Led Zeppelin "Celebration Day" fantasy sequences?
« on: October 13, 2012, 04:22:56 PM »
You probably remember the highlight of Led Zeppelin's 1976 film The Song Remains The Same was each member's "fantasy sequence" - Jimmy Page: occult mountaineer, Robert Plant: apathetic swordsman, John Bonham: race car enthusiast, John Paul Jones: equestrian nightmare.

Since they are about to release their first concert film in over 25 years, Celebration Day, what would you like to see the modern day Zeppelin (Page, Plant, Jones, and Jason Bonham) "fantasy sequences" entail?

During an epic "Kashmir" we cut to Robert Plant working in his garden. He's disappointed in the tomatoes - small, underdeveloped, tasteless, no good. Plant strokes his chin and stares into the distance. We next find him at the local nursery, where a helpful employee suggests proper watering cycles and nutrient rich soil additives. Plant nods in understanding. Plant is then seen walking towards the garden on a misty morning. He reaches down and clutches a tomato - it's plump, moist, and full of flavor. Plant gives a sly grin towards the camera and tosses the tomato into the air where it explodes into a flash of white light. Cut back to the thunderous finale of "Kashmir."

I had thought John Paul Jones was dead - and, indeed, Wikipedia confirms that he died.*



















* In 1792.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Jimmy Page fantasizes about Robert Plant agreeing to a reunion tour.

Laugh if you must but Page/Plant in 1993 was quite strong.

During a fantasy sequence: Robert Plant sees himself doing anything but a Led Zeppelin reunion. Cut to Jimmy Page who is fantasizing about Steven Tyler as the lead singer instead of Plant. Cut to Jason Bonham fantasizing about being back in the new Foreigner line-up again. Finally, cut to JPJ who still thinks he's the masked organist dude from TSRTS.
