Yes, TV4 will broadcast the event. Unfortunately I have no ability to record it. I found this info page: tv4.se/noje/462134.html...Yes, it's in Swedish. Here is a rough translation: Petra Nordlund and Rickard Olsson will be leading the Polar Music Prize event. Monday the 22:th of may, at 22.35, TV4 will broadcast the Polar Music Prize that will be led by Petra Nordlund and Rickard Olsson this year. The Polar Prize banquet will be broadcasted from Grand Hotel and from Stockholm Conserthouse. The highlights from the Polar Prize ceremony will be shown, where the winners, Led Zeppelin and Valery Gergiev, will be awarded.A new thing this year will be that Rickard Olsson will be interviewing artists on the Polar Prize banquet that will be held at Grand Hotel in Stockholm. But already earlier in the day the actual ceremony begins, where king Carl XVI Gustaf will be giving out the prize and Petra Nordlund for the fifth year running will be leading the awards. This year Polar Music Prize has been awarded the Russian conductor Valery and the British group Led Zeppelin. The prize, coming from the Royal Musical Academy after a donation from Stikkan Anderson, is one of the music worlds most prestigious and this year will be the fifteenth time it is happening. During the day in the concert house the prize winners will be tributed by several artists. Soundtrack of Our Lives, that has been on tour with Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant, is the house band for the evening and will be playing during the ceremony together with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. To congratulate Led Zeppelin Nina Persson of The Cardigans and Maja Ivarsson of The Sounds will perform a song each with Soundtrack of Our Lives as their backing band, The singer Ebbot Lundberg will also do two numbers with the band. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, led by conductor Mikhail Agrest with the mezzosoprano Ekaterina Sementchuk will perform Adieu, forêts by Tjajkovskij to Valery Gergievs honour. In the evening, from the banquet studio Rickard Olsson will interview the prize winners Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin as well as the Russian conductor Valery Gergiev. There will also be interviews with the pop icon Per Gessle and members from Soundtrack of our lives, culture- and education minister Leif Pagrotsky and conductor Cecilia Rydinger Alin. The one who will read the prize motivation is Jon Lord of Deep Purple and the previous Polar Prize winner Sofia Gubaidulina. Motivation for the prize: Polar Music Prize 2006 goes to the British group Led Zeppelin, one of rockmusic's great style formers. In their playful and experimental composing that brings together several styles, mystics and primal power are common themes – something that has come to define hard rock as a genre. |

I also have another interesting page that Lord Jagged sent me a link to: www.tv4.se/463590.htmlOn this web page you can see a preview of Zeppelin performing Kashmere, from the coming live-DVD as well as some photos taken at Earls Court 1975 by a Swedish Photographer. To the right on the page, under the pic of Robert and the text "Robert Plant gästade God natt, Sverige" there is a TV performance with Robert from 2005 and an interview that one can watch by clicking the orange TV buttons. |

Yes I did watch it on the box. But the only thing worth watching was the actual award ceremony and the interview. It's great that the boys got the award, but why the hell did all those Swedish artists have to make total idiots of themselves by trying to perform old Zeppelin numbers? It sucked!
