The special guest appearance by Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones onstage at a Foo Fighters concert last month is to be included on a DVD now set for release this August in the United Kingdom. Footage culled from the American group's two-night stand at Wembley Stadium in London, including the double encore of "Ramble On" and "Rock and Roll," already hit U.K. movie theaters this month for a limited run. The Foo Fighters DVD may also be included as part of an updated greatest hits package listed for later release worldwide.
Meanwhile, a documentary described as containing Page's first time meeting fellow guitarists Edge and Jack White is set for its world premiere this September at the Toronto International Film Festival. All three guitarists are supposedly depicted creating new music separately and then jamming together in the film, titled "It Might Get Loud." This latest picture from acclaimed director Davis Guggenheim was previously mentioned as set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival but was not screened at that time.
Jason Bonham
Jason Bonham, son of the late John "Bonzo" Bonham, does not take lightly the responsibility of carrying on his father's legacy. Having made a head start at drumming while he was a child, Jason is now passing on the same lessons to a third generation of Bonham drummers.
John Bonham's death in 1980 left such an impact on the surviving members of Led Zeppelin that they knew immediately they could not continue as they were. Yet Jason Bonham's familiarity with the band made him a shoe-in to join his father's bandmates on the few occasions reunion concerts have taken place.
This year marked the 20th anniversary of Bonham's most successful album release to date, the Platinum-certified disc The Disregard of Timekeeping released by his band, Bonham. To mark the milestone, he recently toured with a new band and played under the banner of "An Evening with Jason Bonham."
In the past, Bonham has also toured and/or recorded with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Foreigner, UFO, Paul Rodgers, Joe Bonamassa, Virginia Wolf, Airrace, Healing Sixes and Motherland. He also acted in the movie Rock Star and appeared on the reality TV show "SuperGroup."

"It Might Get Loud" did not show at Cannes as the film was not yet finished at that time, as per a press contact who was unaware of the rumors back in May that it would be showing at Cannes.
