Led Zeppelin

Ah, July 13, 1985—what a day for music history! Led Zeppelin took the stage at Live Aid, an iconic moment that marked their first public performance in years. Prior to this electric reunion, they had last released *In Through the Out Door* in 1979, an album that showcased their evolving sound with a softer touch and more keyboard-driven tracks. The spirit of that 1985 performance can't be understated—it was heartfelt, bittersweet, and a real journey for both the band and their fans. They played only a handful of songs, like "Rock and Roll," "Whole Lotta Love," and of course, the legendary "Stairway to Heaven." This was a poignant moment; not just a comeback, but a nod to their legacy, especially with the shadow of John Bonham's passing looming large. The energy was palpable, reminding everyone of the band's monumental impact on rock music. Watching this live set, you can’t help but feel a mix of nostalgia and excitement as they reunited for a cause greater than themselves.
