Led Zeppelin

In 1985, when Led Zeppelin took the stage at Live Aid in Philadelphia, they were coming off a period of significant change and reflection. Their last studio album, "In Through the Out Door," had been released in 1979, marking a pivotal moment as it was their final album before John Bonham's tragic passing in 1980. Fast forward to Live Aid, and this reunion performance, while short and filled with emotional heft, was their first major live show together in over five years. Interestingly, they were joined by Phil Collins on drums, a gesture that also highlighted the vast respect among musicians during this monumental event. This performance wasn’t just about nostalgia; it became a significant moment in rock history, reminding the world of their unmatched energy and musical prowess, even as they faced the bittersweet remembrance of their fallen bandmate.
