Led Zeppelin fans have been given tantalising taste of things to come this week, with the band releasing a new clip from their forthcoming DVD, Celebration Day.

The five-and-a-half minute YouTube clip features the band's performance of Black Dog at London's O2 Arena in 2007.

The reunion gig was held to honour the memory of the late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun and featured Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and Jean-Paul Jones, with John Bonhams's son Jason filling in on drums.

The full performance will be on show on the Celebration Day DVD, set for release next Monday (November 19th), almost a full four years after the much applauded reunion concert.

The clip follows the release of a nine-minute clip of the band performing Kashmir, which was released at the start of November.

Since beng posted to YouTube on Wednesday the clip has racked up more than 200,000 views, with over 3000 likes and, strange as it might seem to some, 18 dislikes.

The epic 2007 gig made it in to the Guinness World Records 2009 for having the 'Highest Demand for Tickets for One Music Concert'.

There were 20 million requests for tickets for the reunion show rendered online.

Many fans had hoped that the gig would signal a full reunion and tour, but although Page, Jones and Bonham were reportedly open to the idea, Plant made clear in 2009 that he would not be touring or recording new material with Led Zeppelin.

At the end of October Jimmy Page's manager told the Sunday Times that the guitar wizard was in the process of remastering every Led Zeppelin LP. It is thought that the remasters, hopefully due next year, will include unreleased material and aternate takes.

Page is also reportedly working on new material himself, but has been evasive when asked what the project will be called.
