Thank you for bringing up the 2007 O2 show. It was way better than it had any right to be. Even Plant sounded decent.
And that “Whole Lotta Love” performance is, I believe, from the Royal Albert Hall in 1970. That entire performance is great—several excellent-sounding bootlegs of the audio and video exist. Worth watching/listening in whole. In fact, I think it’s on the Led Zeppelin DVD.
Oh of course, we could not leave them stuck in the Live Aid mess, we had to bring them forward in time and let the article end with a return to glory! 😉
Very glad you liked the article, and thanks for the clarification on the WLL performance. I'll have to look up the rest of it. I'm glad there are some performances filmed like that that we can discover here and there.
Another great music article, Sir. I think I tried to find that Live Aid footage many years ago, and came up blank. I heard that the band had managed to get it removed from platforms, but maybe that is an urban myth. I believe the point of Phil Collins being there was to have the novelty of him playing in the early part of the London show and then jumping into a car and getting rushed to Heathrow to get on Concorde to the USA and being able to play in that show as well. Somebody thought that would be rather splendid for some reason. Maybe Bob Geldof at a guess. Did I see Jimmy Page entangled in a mic stand right at the start? Now that might have gone completely Spinal Tap on another day... :)
thank you for the kind words, I’m glad you enjoyed the art article. And I hope you enjoyed the footage, and I think you are right about Jimmy page getting tangled up in the cord or whatever. Funny stuff. 😂
gonna need it to had to have my brakes done today so I’m just sending an email probably later looking for donations cause it’s gonna be about 500 bucks to get it all done 😳

Yeah! You know I can’t bring myself to watch them at Live Aid. Would be too sad. Sabbath sounded decent there though.
The entire Knebworth 1979 performance is also out there. I don’t find it nearly as bad as advertised.

That's a lotta coffee. Good luck. Best description of a car I ever heard was "a hole in the road that you pour money into".
I wonder if the person who gave the out of tune guitar went on to become a movie set armorer?
Your band digs rock just as much as they did. Thank you!
Led Zeppelin is one of my all time favs fam. Love this!
Thanks! Very glad you enjoyed the article. 👍🏻
