Led Zeppelin

In July 1985, Led Zeppelin made a much-anticipated return to the stage at the Live Aid concert, held at Philadelphia's JFK Stadium. This performance came after a long hiatus for the band, who had not played together since the death of their dynamic drummer, John Bonham, in 1980. Their set featured the iconic "Stairway to Heaven," a song that has become synonymous with their legacy. Interestingly, the reunion showcased not just the band's classic rock prowess but also the emotional weight carried in their performance, given the circumstances surrounding their break. Prior to this live set, their last studio album, "In Through the Out Door," was released in 1979, indicating a decade of evolution in music styles and personal journeys for the band members. The Live Aid performance, introduced by Phil Collins, was a significant moment, stirring both nostalgia and hope as they shared the stage with a host of other legendary artists, all united for a noble cause.
