Commercials for Monday (Nov. 19) night's episode of 'Revolution' on NBC have featured Led Zeppelin's 'Kashmir,' one of two songs by the band that will play during the hour-long episode. Producers Eric Kripke and J.J. Abrams recently sat down to reveal they're big Zep-heads, joking that they wanted to build a show they could squeeze Led Zeppelin songs into.
After drummer John Bonham died on Sept. 25, 1980, effectively putting an end to Led Zeppelin, fans were hungry for more music. Their last album, 1979’s ‘In Through the Out Door,’ marked a strong return after a three-year absence. But the band had broken up, and there wasn’t too much unused music sitting around, because Led Zeppelin didn’t waste much. Over the course of eight albums and 10 years, only one non-LP B-side (‘Hey Hey What Can I Do’) surfaced. And the few leftover tracks that they had in the can made up roughly half of 1975’s ‘Physical Graffiti.’
If you haven't been able to make it to a screening of Led Zeppelin's new concert film 'Celebration Day,' and just can't wait to get your hands on the whole thing next Tuesday (Nov. 19), good news: The band has decided to give fans an appetizer for the main course by posting their performance of 'Black Dog.'

By popular demand, Led Zeppelin will have another screening of their reunion concert film, 'Celebration Day' at theaters across the country on Nov. 13 at 7:30PM. The decision follows last month's successful showing of the movie, which brought in $2 million in one night.
Led Zeppelin come roaring back to life with the release of this live version of 'Kashmir,' which is the first single from the forthcoming 'Celebration Day' project. Impacting at radio right now, the powerful and moody track demonstrates the group at the height of their collective musical powers.
They might be rolling out their new concert film with all the pomp and circumstance of a full-fledged studio album, but that doesn't mean the surviving members of Led Zeppelin are making any plans for future projects.
A second Led Zeppelin clue was dropped Sunday morning (Sept. 9) when the band's Facebook page posted the word "Four" in the band's familiar script, thus leading to speculation that a countdown was in progress after the previous "Five" posting.
Last week Led Zeppelin fans celebrated the band’s iconic fourth album’s 40th birthday. If you dusted off your original vinyl copy and bought a new needle for the occasion, one thing is for certain: you’re getting old.

If Robert Plant were to run into his 25-year-old self, he says he’d tell that young man to take as many chances and risks as he can. “Because if you’re just a singer for the sake of it, it’s not quite enough.”
