Led Zeppelin

Let’s take a moment to set the stage for Led Zeppelin's electrifying return at Live Aid on July 13, 1985. By this time, the band had already established themselves as rock legends, though they hadn’t performed together since their disbandment in 1980, following the tragic death of drummer John Bonham. Interestingly, they reunited for this iconic event with an ensemble of friends, showcasing the unmistakable energy that had made them household names. Just before Live Aid, their last studio album—“In Through the Out Door”—was released in 1979, and while it had chart-topping hits, it lacked the raw power of their earlier work. The Live Aid performance, particularly their rendition of “Whole Lotta Love,” was a heartfelt nod to fans and a testament to their enduring legacy. It was a moment that perfectly captured the spirit of 80s rock, reminding everyone why they were champions of the genre.
