On This Day In 2007 Led Zeppelin Reunited

On December 10, 2007, a benefit concert to commemorate the life of music executive Ahmet Ertegun was staged at London's 02 Arena. The headliner was a reunited Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones performed their first full-length concert since the death of drummer John Bonham in 1980, in a one-off reunion. Bonham's son Jason Bonham played drums during the band's set, and also provided backing vocals on two songs. According to Guinness World Records 2009, the concert holds the world record for the "Highest Demand for Tickets for One Music Concert" as 20 million requests for the reunion show were rendered online. 

In October 2012, Celebration Day, a concert film documenting the event, was released. The band performed 16 songs—including two encores—featuring a range of songs from across the spectrum of their career; however no material from the band's final studio album, In Through the Out Door, was performed. Included in the set list were two numbers which were played live in their entirety for the first time ever by Led Zeppelin—"Ramble On" and For Your Life".
