Led Zeppelin

Ah, Led Zeppelin at Live Aid—now that’s a moment etched in rock history! By July 13, 1985, the iconic band had been largely dormant, with their last studio album, "In Through the Out Door," released in 1979. The group was known for their electrifying performances, yet their reunion at Live Aid came nearly six years after their last official gig together, which deepened the excitement and anticipation surrounding their appearance. While their performance at John F. Kennedy Stadium was met with mixed reviews—some saying it wasn't their best—it's hard to overstate the significance of that day. It marked a rare reunion for the band, especially after the tragic passing of drummer John Bonham in 1980, adding a bittersweet undertone to their set. Fans got to witness Robert Plant's unmistakable charisma and Jimmy Page's legendary guitar work, reminding everyone why they've held a revered spot in rock’s pantheon. Who could forget the energy in that stadium, radiating from the stage and the crowd alike?
