ON THIS DAY IN MUSIC HISTORY: December 10th 2007; Led Zeppelin reunites for a one-off show at the O2 Arena in London. It was a benefit show to raise money for the Ahmet Ertegun education fund. Jason Bonham, who is Johns son, played drums at the show, which was hailed by critics and fans as triumphant. 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 entering an online lottery for the 18,000 tickets. Face value: $255 a ticket, but scalpers were getting about $2,000. In October 2012, Celebration Day, a concert film documenting the event, was released. Both the film and performance by Led Zeppelin have been highly acclaimed. A shortened version of the concert was broadcast by the BBC in the UK on 8 December 2012. 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 bands final 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.
