Performance and recording

Main article: Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert

In 2007, a benefit concert to commemorate the life of music executive Ahmet Ertegun was staged with a reunited Led Zeppelin as the main act. They played several of their most famous songs to an enthusiastic crowd and coordinating a professional recording of the show with the prospect of a home video release.[1] Rumors immediately circulated that the recording would become available, but the following year, guitarist Jimmy Page said that release wasn't certain and that it required mixing and would be a "massive job to embark on."[2] Bassist John Paul Jones agreed that he would like to see it released commercially, but that there was no timeline.[3] Even through 2010, Page was uncertain of the status of the album.[4] On 9 September 2012, the band updated their Facebook page, which lead to widespread speculation that the release was finally ready.[5] Details leaked over the following days, with a source telling The Sun on 11 September that the album was due for release later that year[6] and theatre web sites announcing airings of the film slated for the following month.[7]
