The first screening of the spring
concert film
series will take place at 7pm on 3 April, featuring the 2007 London concert of
Led Zeppelin
. Called the biggest band of rock’n’roll history by Mojo, one of the most famous music magazines, the blues-rock group disbanded in 1980, after the death of drummer John Bonham, but reunited on 10 December 2007 to take the stage at London's O2 Arena for a two-hour-plus gig. The concert was recorded and subsequently screened at cinemas all over the world under the title Celebration Day, instantly becoming part of the legend of Led Zeppelin. Founding members John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were joined by Jason Bonham, the son of their late drummer John Bonham, to perform 16 songs from their celebrated catalogue including landmark tracks "Whole Lotta Love," "Rock And Roll," "Kashmir," and "Stairway To Heaven."




On
30 April
the series will continue with
The Doors
Live At The Bowl ’68, the only recorded full-length concert of Jim Morrison and his legendary band, The Doors. Jeff Jampol, Doors manager and producer of the film said: “The Doors’ live performances were a shamanistic journey into dark rock and roll psychedelic theater – a swirling mixture of rock ‘n’ roll heat, poetry, danger, drama and unbridled musical virtuosity. Captured at the height of The Doors’ magical powers, in one of the world’s greatest venues, this brand new restoration, edit and mix, corny as it may sound, made me fall in love a hundred times, all over again.” Apart from playing classics, such as Light my fire and The End, the band electrified the audience by performing such rarely featured songs as Hello I Love You, The WASP or Spanish Caravan.




The
8 May
episode of the series will feature a landmark gig of rock music history:
Jimi Hendrix
’s Woodstock performance from 1969. Regarded as the best guitarist in the world, Jimi Hendrix and his new band Gypsy Sun and Rainbows performed on an August morning at the final concert of the legendary Woodstock Festival, playing well known songs like
“Voodoo Child”
,
“Hey Joe”
,
“Purple Haze”
and
“Foxy Lady”
. To be screened in its entirety, in its original format, the concert footage has been digitally restored with surround sound to meet modern standards – this will allow the audience to enjoy the performance of the guitar virtuoso the way only those standing on stage with him could. A short documentary pieced together from special archive materials will also be part of the programme, featuring interviews with fellow musicians Billy Cox, Mitch Mitchell, sound engineer Eddie Kramer and Woodstock promoter Michael Lang, among others.




Rounding off the event series, the concert film
Queen Rock Montreal
will be screened on 29 May. The 1981 Montreal gig is often described as one of Queen’s all-time best performances. This occasion was the first time a band had filmed an entire show in full cinema format 35mm. Now the original footage has been re-mastered in 4K Ultra HD with superb surround sound, which will guarantee the kind of quality that makes for an exceptional concert experience. The repertoire includes such popular fan favourite hits as We Will Rock You, Under Pressure, We Are The Champions and Bohemian Rhapsody.
