2007年12月10日,伦敦O2体育馆,一个注定被载入摇滚史册的夜晚。为了纪念大西洋唱片(Atlantic Records)创始人艾哈迈特·埃特根(Ahmet Ertegun),齐柏林飞艇(Led Zeppelin)的幸存成员——主唱罗伯特·普兰特(Robert Plant)、吉他手吉米·佩奇(Jimmy Page)、贝斯手约翰·保罗·琼斯(John Paul Jones)——自1980年鼓手约翰·博纳姆(John Bonham)逝世后首次完整重聚,并由博纳姆的儿子杰森·博纳姆(Jason Bonham)接替父亲的鼓手席位。这场两小时有余的演出吸引了全球超过2000万人申请购票,而仅有18000名幸运者通过抽签得以入场。这是乐队27年来的首场正式演唱会,也被后世称为“锤子之神最后的轰鸣”。
这场名为《Celebration Day》的演出,最终于2012年以同名影音专辑形式全球发行,共收录16首曲目。从《Good Times Bad Times》开场时的试探,到《Kashmir》的史诗级铺陈,再到《Stairway to Heaven》的全场朝圣,乐队用一场几乎完美的演出证明了:即便时间带走了约翰·博纳姆的鼓棒,却无法磨灭齐柏林飞艇作为摇滚史上最伟大乐队之一的荣光。乐评人Jeff Wilson在《The Absolute Sound》中写道:“齐柏林飞艇听起来生猛而粗粝,而非人们预期中过度打磨的表演。讽刺的是,他们越粗粝,就越不像是一支阔别舞台多年的乐队”。
乐评
这场演出的评价,注定要在“传奇的回归”与“岁月的痕迹”之间寻找平衡。美国词曲作者协会(American Songwriter)给出了四星评价,指出普兰特的嗓音已从当年的“女妖尖叫”蜕变为更深沉、更成熟的声线,这在《Black Dog》等需要极高音域的曲目中显得力不从心;吉米·佩奇的吉他演奏也不再如巅峰期般精准流畅。然而,正是这些“不完美”,让这场演出充满了真实的情感张力。
《In My Time of Dying》被多家乐评公认为全场最佳——琼斯的放克贝斯线为这首布鲁斯经典注入了全新活力,而佩奇在《Since I've Been Loving You》中那段穿透灵魂的吉他独奏,证明他依然是那个能用音符点燃舞台的吉他之神。杰森·博纳姆的表现尤为令人动容,他以与父亲别无二致的凶猛力度敲击鼓面,在《Kashmir》和《Whole Lotta Love》中完成了跨越时空的家族传承。
《Mid-day》乐评人Lindsay Pereira写道:“普兰特的嗓音并非总能触及那些高音,但琼斯和佩奇的手指仿佛未曾老去。最令人惊喜的是杰森·博纳姆,他以与父亲当年同样凶猛的力量敲击着鼓面”。而《Kashmir》中那史诗般的riff响起时,全场观众起立膜拜的场景,早已超越了音乐本身,成为一场对摇滚黄金时代的集体朝圣。
这场演出的最终意义,正如乐评人所言:“如果锤子之神再也无法挥锤,那这便是它最后一次响彻云霄的轰鸣”。无论乐队是否还会重组,《Celebration Day》都将作为齐柏林飞艇留给世人的最后一份现场遗产,在摇滚史上永存。

2000万人抢票不是没道理的。虽然错过了巅峰期,但能看到他们站在一起,这辈子值了。
John Paul Jones on the keyboards for No Quarter was mesmerizing. The atmosphere they created was thick enough to cut with a knife.
看佩奇弹琴那个驼背姿势,真是又心疼又敬佩。锤子之神老了,但锤子还是那把锤子。
For Your Life was a deep cut choice, and it paid off massively. That riff sounded even heavier in 2007 than it did in 1976.
Robert Plant’s voice has aged like fine wine. He knows he can’t hit the banshee wails anymore, so he rephrased everything with soul. Masterclass in adaptability.
杰森打鼓跟他爸一模一样,那种“砸”下去的感觉太对味了。这场演出证明了血脉传承是真的存在。
The bass work from John Paul Jones in Trampled Under Foot is criminally underrated. He holds the whole rhythm section together while Page soars.
I cried during Stairway to Heaven. Not because it was perfect, but because it felt so human. The whole crowd singing along… that’s the power of music.
普兰特的嗓子确实不如七十年代那么尖利了,但在In My Time of Dying里那种沧桑感反而更对味。姜还是老的辣。
Jason Bonham didn’t just play the drums, he channelled his father’s spirit. That moment in Kashmir was transcendent. A true passing of the torch.
Jimmy Page’s solo in Since I’ve Been Loving You literally gave me chills. You can hear the years of pain and passion in every note. Perfection doesn’t have to be flawless.
