( CNN ) -- This week 's New York premiere of Led Zeppelin 's forthcoming concert film , `` Celebration Day , '' may have brought out both fans and rock stars , including Mick Jones , Stevie Nicks and Paul Stanley of Kiss , but beyond the 2007 reunion depicted on-screen , do n't expect to see the legendary band in concert anytime soon . When asked at a press conference if there were any chance the band would play again together `` in the flesh , '' John Paul Jones said only , `` Sorry . '' Jimmy Page suggested that `` if ( in the five years since the movie was made , ) there was n't a whisper or a hint that we would get together to do something , it seems pretty unlikely , does n't it ? '' Jimmy Page on another Led Zeppelin reunion : ' I do n't see it ' But Robert Plant does n't rule out the possibility entirely . `` We 're pretty good at what we do , but the tail should never wag the dog , '' he said . `` If we 're capable of doing something in our own time , that will be what will happen . We know what we 've got . Que sera . '' `` Celebration Day '' features a two-hour , 16-song set by surviving members of the iconic band , with John Bonham 's son , Jason , filling in for him on the drums . The concert was a tribute to the group 's friend and Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun . It was the first time the original members had played with each other since the mid-1980s . Directed by Dick Carruthers , the film uses 12 cameras on and around the stage , exploring the intense guitar playing and smiles between the band members throughout the show . `` It was clicking again , '' Jones said . `` You just fall into it . Time is condensed and you 're right back there . '' Six weeks of off-and-on rehearsals led to the big night that all the band members agreed was a resounding success . The film focuses on the musicians as they revisit many of the songs that made them one of the most influential and best-selling music artists in history , with sales of more than 200 million albums . From `` Stairway to Heaven '' and `` For Your Life '' to `` Kashmir '' and `` No Quarter , '' Plant 's voice is as crisp as ever , Jones tackles the keyboards like few can and Page has n't lost his touch as what some have called the finest rock guitarist ever .
