I was there at age 17 and make no mistake, this was the highlight of the entire day. Looking back, 35 years later today, I wish I could be a teenager again. Still gives me chills.
It's only considered "bad" because they are so well respected by fans that even a great performance like this is considered underperforming. I'm sure the people there live didn't give a shit. They loved it.
They are too messed up to play the drummer not playing and they are clearly not into it. They are my favorite rock band of all time and that won’t change . I had my own blues band in the 90s and if I was too messed up they wouldn’t let me play and there were many times I was. They are GOAT!
These guys literally came from different places on earth to be together to play this one off gig, with only about one hour of practice time before hitting the stage. With that in mind, I think they sounded great. I remember watching this event on live tv with friends as it was happening, and we were all overjoyed and stoked that the remaining members of Zeppelin were actually performing again. Listen to the joy and cheering from the crowd at the end....they all thought it was great. The VJ's from MTV were beside themselves from happiness. This was an historical moment in rock history, and for those who criticize this performance can go screw themselves, because EVERYONE back then enjoyed the experience and thought it was awesome.
Todas las bandas aportaron su grano de Arena,pero cuando llevas años actuando ,espoco lo que tienes que ensañar ,el audio es importante.Pwro no hay excusas los excesos y el tiempo te pasan la cuenta Al final Queen fue nuevamente una verdadera anda ,una leyenda insuperable que su actuación la debo marcada a fuego.Todo un icono.
I was there with my wife we were in the back of the stadium of 105,000 people who were going crazy when Zeppelin was on. What a great full day of music
it is not exactly led zeppelin though this was just the remaining members putting on a show , jon bonham the king of the drums absolutley made the band his drumming is like nothing else
Led Zeppelin started the show with equipment and sound problems. They were having trouble getting thru " Rock n Roll " and " Whole Lotta Love " and then they did an amazing version of " Stairway to Heaven " IORR.
Say what you will about this performance, but bands like Led Zeppelin are few and far between. The look that Robert gives Jimmy at 1:19, to me, is filled with memories of a time past, when they were at the height of their career, standing in those very places steamrolling the rock and roll industry, creating a type of magic that those around to witness were truly lucky to experience. Long live Led Zeppelin!
Guy.. It's wonderful to here a guy say that any rock band gives them misty eye's.. I know it's mostly because it's Zeppelin, and I am right there with you.. 🎶🤘🎵
No band writes songs Like Zeppelin, they were magic, so blessed to have watched them perform from 70s-80s and beyond, just to see them in Philly again was magical
not bad for rehearsing for 20 mins in the changing room before hand... "Hi Robert" "Hi Jimmy , I haven't seen you in like 5 years. You good?" "Yep. you ready to do this?" "Yep. why the fuck not." "ok. lets go." "One question though. what fucking key is it in again?"
+MrMetalchamp I'm not sure what armatures have to do with this? In comparison to you they are amateurs. Is that what you are saying? I'm sure as soon as you learn to play an instrument you will show everyone how amateurish Led Zeppelin was.
How can anyone not be moved by this masterpiece? There are no words to describe the sheer poetry of this track. If you close your eyes when listening to this you will be transported into another time and place!!
I feel very happy because in 2021 Jimmy turned 77 years old, a handsome and healthy man with gray hair. He survived drugs and alcohol, thank God! And STH remains a masterpiece, the most beautiful and iconic song ever recorded, by the best and most iconic band in the world and Jimmy will always be the greatest and most iconic guitarist of all time! 🎶🎸🎼❤️
I feel happy for him too but very sad also that that very year the great David Byron (easly as good a singer as Robert P. or better) died a lonely death all but forgottan in his apartment . Such is the fickle fate of fame and fortune.
What so many forget in retrospect is that they agreed last minute to play a few songs that they hadn't played in years to raise some money for a good cause. It was meant to be watched and heard once -on that day. It was a disappointing performance but it was never meant to be be picked apart for years to come on UA-cam. The crowd loved it and money was raised. By the way, I'm old enough to have watched it. The excitement level was off the charts. If you were in that crowd, you wouldn't have gave a shit about the sloppiness. You would have had a f 'ing blast.
Red you are correct - you want Zep, go watch Song Remains The Same or any clip you can find from the 70's.... but for 20 minutes, in July 1985, for those of us watching, this was everything, sloppy and all.....
Exactly- this was not Led Zeppelin, it was for a good cause- Phil Collins' drumming was too fast, & just plain lackluster- & he had the nerve to say he was embarrassed - I admit the song Rock&Roll ( not included here)was very rough, but Phil must've forgotten about his video for "You Can't Hurry Love" now THAT'S embarrassing- lol
To all the negative comments this performance isn't about how well or not so well they performed. It's about the fact that they came together for a rare moment. These guys will always be Rock Gods and that is all.
just seeing them on stage together was incredible at the time. they could have just sung happy birthday and people would have freaked out. it was an electrifying moment.
For all those complaining about this performance remember you are still watching and talking about it 31 years later .... Not many bands can fuck up that magnificently!
+Tim Bennett ... they talked about tiny tim for a long time ... and they still talk about hitler. this is one crap performance no matter how 'famous' they were.
timeforachange12 could get sloppy, especially in the later shows but anybody who can watch Dazed and Confused in the Song Remains movie and say he was horrible? And what about the show they did recently for the Celebration Day film. I've been playing for 38 years and he's one of my main influences. I will say the solo in this vid is pretty week. He probably hadn't been practicing much
yea well I disagree that he was always just a bad performer period. and I'm a guy that has stood up there and done it. he had a good stage presence and usually hit the notes. his writing was brilliant. A lot of brits from his era started out with blues. y'know that was how the whole British invasion began?
He did stole a lot from old american bluesman, do some research. I was outraged when I found out myself. Don't get me wrong man, I'm a huge fan as well.
That's why Zeppelin is my favourite band, their essence of Rock music is pure. It's about raw energy and feeling good. Even the highly precise & technical Eddie Van Halen said it "Don't stop and don't let the audience know you made a mistake. Or, smile and do it twice, then people will think you meant it! "
It’s funny, watching this now and knowing where I was sitting that day, I had no idea at the time (of course) how much my life would change after that summer. It’s hard to pinpoint the exact moments where your life took an unexpected turn, for better or worse, but for me it was this concert. I miss being young and full of hope.
A lot of musicians follow others and openly admit it, music is like math, the possibilitys are endless.Go listen to B -52s or Devo , someone like you would like that
@@dan-h2g No, the drums were just not good. 🤦🏽♂️ Phil is a phenomenal drummer, but, he was WAY out over his skis here. If only Jason could’ve played! He would’ve been about 19 in ‘85.. 🤷🏽 Would’ve been so much better. Phil and Tommy just didn’t pull this off.
You can't imaging the feeling standing up there, in front of thousands singing a song that you wrote , that is appreciated and loved by everyone there . Thankyou Robert 👍💜🇬🇧
This is not their "worst' day. This is rock and roll, it is raw, unrehearsed and alive. Yes, it's a little bit loose, but that's the essence of it all. Still awesome at the time
Two kinda human one ehat take one do not when I thought choice is mine clean or not clean but I m wrong choice is not mine when you can not kill the beast in your blood Hotel California.
How do you "hot-link" a time on a video? For instance, how did you hot-link the times on this video so that clicking on the times you specified on your comment will open at exactly that place on the video? Thanks in advance.
My brother saw them in person when I was 10. I pitched a fit to go with him but I almost got my butt tore up by my Mama. My brother is the reason I love this music and now since I was 10 Music is my happy place and I'm now 63.
@@asadsultan1208 My brother and his best friend saw Led Zeppelin in Spartanburg. I pitched a fit to go with him but I was too young and Mama wouldn't let me go. Mama said you better hush unless you want something to cry about. I almost got my butt torn up over Led Zepplin. I was 10 years old.
This song is such an amazing composition with such awesome lyrics that our pastor plays it in church every so often. Loved it back in the day, and will always love this song. Pure Rock and Roll as it's meant to be!
It's one of those songs where the greatness of the original outshines any subsequent covers or live renditions. It sets just the right elements of composition altogether from the beginning; such that other versions may be nice, but you always come back to the original for the purest appreciation of the masterpiece that it truly is.
Your pastor EH? Jimmy Page was/is an occultism. Dont believe me, look it up. He did ceremonial rituals and some dark magic. Your pastor needs to learn a few things. May Queen is a witch. The Piper calling referred to here is Satan. I am LMAO. This song is a call to change the path you're on towards the other side. Just type Jimmy Page...occult...Aleister Crowley...people who sold their souls and you will wake up. Still a good song but WHO wrote it....
I was there! Anyone else seeing them that was in attendance that day knows all these guys were performing in record heat in Philly ... it was a once in a life time experience to be in attendance, they could have sung and played backwards and it would have been more then alright just to see them perform again! They got the loudest roar from the audience of anyone who walked on to that stage!!!
That's a good comment to make. I know I am not at all my best self in the worst heat. I thought they seemed maybe a bit out of sorts, but I really liked the performances. I wish I could have been there, but I was only 9 at the time.
Oh, and that's so awesome you were there. Good for you pausing whatever you had going on for such an epic milestone in music history. It says something when some of the richest and most famous people out there all ate humble enough to perform for nothing and help others. I am impressed.
It makes me sad seeing them like this, the biggest and most influential band no longer at their prime, but it's still amazing that they came together to do this show! I know that any gigs they have done since this i.e. 2007 at the O2 was back to the quality that we know them for, even if the the drummer is Jason Bonham, Zeppelin need a Bonham, that just seems to be fact! But one thing for sure, IF they ever did one more tour or gig, I'd buy a ticket without a moments thought!
Casual fans watch the solo by Page here, and they think he's lost! "What's he playing?" Zep fans know this is the framework for the Stairway solo he always used. It's nothing like the studio. He's not lost, it's actually very familiar.
this solo was just to fill the time, not one of his best but still better than the Rolling Stone guitarist, hard to measure up to Eric Clapton for the Brits, not even Jeff Beck, one of the drummers looks like Phil Collins, not uncommon to have two sets of them, usually they take something to calm their nerves, at least they finished.
Each of these men paid their dues. They solidified rock music and took songs to such high levels it became difficult for most any band to reach the heights the Zepp members took it to. While most bands play hard to reach top notch standards but fail, Led Zepplin kept going with better and better. Once bands reach that high plateau, they are unable to do so after. Zepp kept it going. They will always remain the soul of Rock and Roll from each and every song they presented. We get older, things don't quite work as they used to. They came together, on stage after many years and played. Getting to stand and watch them perform would have been an honor. Stairway will always rate number one.
played better than 99% of classic musicians too. not sure why you're taking a dig at the modern era, there's extremely impressive guitarists under 30 right now
Everyone talking about how high they are, yet they just remembered every note and word to Stairway to Heaven. I'm sober and can't remember what day it is.
Actually if you watch Plant he has a cheat sheet at his feet for the lyrics. Not sure if he was high or not, but he did need a little help to remember the words. I was lucky enough to be there, very cool event!
@@calummckenna9642 again, I've seen bands high off their tits who played better, like when you're one of the biggest bands of all time, playing at one of the biggest charity shows of all time, maybe you should have at least one rehearsal, and maybe warm up your voice before? Sounds like Phil Collins had had more practice than Page or Plant here, which is ironic considering he wasn't part of Led Zeppelin
brings back memories of being there. the buzz of led zepplin actually playing was beyond words. back then the idea of getting these 2 on a stage was near impossible let alone doing stairway to heaven.
This is great, but really shows me what a great force and part of Led Zeppelin John Bonham was and is. No wonder they group dis-banded. Bonham can't be replaced! His drumming made this song as much as the guitars and vocals did.
@@pauljordan4452 We were talking about the EDS1275. the Tele on the studio track is old news, why not tele me he used a 58 V on you shook me, old news there.
It's crazy to think that some people in the comments actually went to this live show, like to have so many amazing bands and solo artists such as led zeppelin, queen, Bob Dylan, and mick jagger is just mind blowing to me and get each artist to have 20 minutes of playing their music is just crazy my head would explode halfway through this concert of all the greatness present
@@johnw2259 Yeah, but did Jimmy play as well as he could've played? I thought Jimmy was going to heave a few times. These guys getting ripped during concerts was always something to talk about, but looking back. I think we sometimes got ripped off, by less than optimal performance. Unless of course, we were higher than they were!
Was watching all day with pals - drinking beer. - then this - don't care about the ins an outs of the performance - we sat mesmerised - something we never expected to ever see or hears live again...we rocked and rocked and rocked!
No, it’s not “would have” it WAS. Live Aid was the best concert in history. Period. Back then you had to pay to have access to most music video stations as most humans had just the most basic of cable but on that day everything was free. The world opened up and channel corporations allowed the average person like me to watch this extraordinary event. Until the Gulf War a few years later I had never seen paid channels open themselves to everyone. All performers kept to their time frame, no one tried to go over and no egos got in the way - it was the most amazing concert ever! And Phil Collins tool the concord so that he could play at both the British and US concerts - he just wanted to play the drums and help out. There is a book that came out shortly after the concert, but I’m sure it’s long out of print by now, but it or the DVD are well worth the hunt. This was the concert of the century and beyond, it changed music, and it was one of the most amazing experiences watching on my living room floor settled into the shag carpet!
@@laurabaird7267 i agree with your opinion but being there was something else. I still have my ticket and a mint condition sweatshirt. I have been to hundreds of shows since 73 and that one was epic. I was only invited by my friend the day before and had to scramble to catch a flight. And wouldnt you know it an electrical storm prevented me from taking off. Didnt arrive at my friends house until 5 a m . So with 2 hours sleep i managed to stay up in sweltering heat to an epic concert and event.
@@jtb1649 I bet you're glad you made it! The thing I'm guessing a lot of the people there wouldn't have realised it was going to be the greatest concert ever!
when I watch a band, I dont really care that they dont sound as good as the 60's/70's/80/s, I just enjoy the music and watch the band and be grateful that I get to see them AGAIN
Me too and im 55 now here in Philippines and what im listening now a day are Goregrind Metal,Cybergrind Metal and Noisecore Metal haha yeah! #PhilippinesKingOfMetal
I was there.... Going to shows was such a different experience in those days. Not a great performance by the incredible Led Zep, but seeing them playing together again was worth every second. Love it brings back such fond memories.
How do you "hot-link" a time on a video? For instance, how did you hot-link the times on this video so that clicking on the times you specified on your comment will open at exactly that place on the video? Thanks in advance.
There is no such thing as a bad led zeppelin performance. My favourite band of all time and everything all members have done since. Plant could sing the phone book and I would listen !!!
@@philsurtees Find me footage of Phil being a dick. Or quotes. Nada, nothing. He was just an extremely talented musician who liked to play and never said no when asked. Guested with a ton of musicians, they had no problem with him.
@@rosehipp he plays really sloppy but imo people are being really harsh on him. He was fucked off on heroin and grieving bonham. I think people are comparing him to pre bonhams death when he was the greatest guitarist alive. So this is shit compared to that
I remember sitting up all night here in Melbourne Australia with my fingers on the record button on my Beta video recorder, was 16 at the time, couldn't believe i was seeing Zep live, well, kinda Zep.
So you could watch it on here that’s why you were born in 1992, lucky for me I was born in 1960, watched these and many other greats since then. You haven’t missed much as it’s all been recorded.
I truly believe, that Jimmy is so smacked out of his mind here, that about half-way through the solo - he forgets where he is and thinks he's playing a Led Zeppelin concert in 1972, where he could do a 20 minute+ solo. At 8:25 you can hear Robert Plant completely cut him off to move along to the next part of the song, and Jimmy snaps out of it (sort of) lol.
I believe the part about Jimmy being smacked out of his mind, but not sure why Robert cut off the solo, if you've seen Jimmy play this live, that's always how he ends it, he was just about to hit that iconic riff that concludes the solo. From watching the interview after the performance, it sounds like the monitors weren't great and they were haivng a hard time hearing, so maybe Robert thought he was at the end. It was literally the next riff that ends the solo.
@@cameronlowrey9371 For real? Dam he should have known better then lol.. 4 real tho live aid was literally thrown together at virtually the last minute and all bands either had their gear quickly flown in and tossed together on stage or just used what happened to have been already out there. None of the acts were paid per-se as it was charity. . im %100 sure that everything wasn't up to most of the acts personal preferences as far as sound and monitors go and all that... I have no real complaints about any of it. Led zepp, black sabbath, queen etc... It was epic and a solid part of music history.
Jimmy is high as a kite and with his worst performance still plays better than i most people ever could. Thank god he got sober and is in good shape in his later years in life.
I don't condone substance abuse and I'm glad these legends have cleaned up since their hay days. At the same time, loads of brilliance came from legendary artists so, there's something to be said about creating during an altered state of consciousness.
@@Yourfavoritesalad "he actually admits" you meant to say "he actually blames the drummer" perhaps instead? Jimmy was really fμcked up in this video and his performance is sloppier than his usual "sloppy" style that he has.
Jonesey is on keys. Legend goes that Plant basically wanted Page with his band, so they just didn't call him until quite late - JPJ actually effectively had to invite himself.
At the end of Page's solo, it seems he's waiting for the drums to lead him into the solos finale, which they fail to do. So Page seems to have a point about the drummers not knowing the material.
Page said not long after Bonham died when asked why Zeppelin wont go on he said " I could never imagine playing and not looking back for Bonham. Led Zeppelin is finished"
The reason why these events generally suck is because much of the time, there are no rehearsals. That's not the drummer's fault and Page looks like he was to drunk to rehearse anyway.
@@yeyinitta0939 Yeah I saw that! That moment where it looks like he simultaneously wet himself. Good ol' Jimmy, pointlessly multitasking even under the sternest of examinations.
You call that playing? I've heard bar-bands play these songs better than these assholes; give me a fucking break. Yeah Jimmy Page has had plenty of practice being a fraud, and stealing other people's music. LOL !!!
@@Stublinsky thats stupid you cant deny zeppelin was incredibly influencial in the development of rock music this performance is well known to be one of led zeppelins worst
I was there at age 17 and make no mistake, this was the highlight of the entire day. Looking back, 35 years later today, I wish I could be a teenager again. Still gives me chills.
Damnn i wish i was there, if only i was born in that time tho😔. At least i can still seeing them in here
It makes me wonder....

For all those complaining about this performance remember you are still watching and talking about it 31 years later .... Not many bands can fuck up that magnificently!
magic comment love it
+Tim Bennett ... they talked about tiny tim for a long time ... and they still talk about hitler. this is one crap performance no matter how 'famous' they were.
+Tim Bennett true i cannot stop listening/playing this song it's a amazing song
+The Nexus if I remember correctly, it was the band itself that asked the people who made the DVD to cut out the performance
Tim Bennett and
Even Led Zeppelin on their worst day, right here, are still 5000 times better than most the modern acts on their best day
Eric Blade Thing is they were more often on bad days than good days. They were great composers and creators but Jimmy was horrible live.
timeforachange12 could get sloppy, especially in the later shows but anybody who can watch Dazed and Confused in the Song Remains movie and say he was horrible? And what about the show they did recently for the Celebration Day film. I've been playing for 38 years and he's one of my main influences. I will say the solo in this vid is pretty week. He probably hadn't been practicing much
He was a bad performer, sorry to say, but a great creator in the studio, when he was not copying old afro-american bluesmen.
yea well I disagree that he was always just a bad performer period. and I'm a guy that has stood up there and done it. he had a good stage presence and usually hit the notes. his writing was brilliant. A lot of brits from his era started out with blues. y'know that was how the whole British invasion began?
He did stole a lot from old american bluesman, do some research. I was outraged when I found out myself. Don't get me wrong man, I'm a huge fan as well.
That's why Zeppelin is my favourite band, their essence of Rock music is pure. It's about raw energy and feeling good. Even the highly precise & technical Eddie Van Halen said it "Don't stop and don't let the audience know you made a mistake. Or, smile and do it twice, then people will think you meant it! "
Remember the days when we could all be in a stadium like this....no social distancing there! Can't wait till we can again.
Sadly, probably never again

It’s funny, watching this now and knowing where I was sitting that day, I had no idea at the time (of course) how much my life would change after that summer. It’s hard to pinpoint the exact moments where your life took an unexpected turn, for better or worse, but for me it was this concert. I miss being young and full of hope.

You can't imaging the feeling standing up there, in front of thousands singing a song that you wrote , that is appreciated and loved by everyone there . Thankyou Robert 👍💜🇬🇧
That live version really sounds like the 1972 live recording.
This is not their "worst' day. This is rock and roll, it is raw, unrehearsed and alive. Yes, it's a little bit loose, but that's the essence of it all. Still awesome at the time
Amen
100% agree! That’s my uncle Paul Martinez playing bass.
Jimmy was off his head and as a result his playing was rubbish what a shame.
No. This is absolute crap. No excuses. It's an insult to everyone that has to endure it.
Unrehearsed is what lazy people say when they can't play properly, and Led Zeppelin did not play properly at all.
I know it's bad this or bad that. But 35 years later , how fuqn cool is it to see this again . I remember laughter ✌️
high or not high... it doesnt matter for me... Led Zeppelin still rocks on august 2020, in pandemic times !!!
Right on!!

same totally
it was not the best performance, but it’s still Zeppelin 🤘
I can't unsee 80s Led Zeppelin now that I've seen it
Ian Conery- Watch Rotterdam 1980, that show was brilliant. It shows what an 80s Zeppelin could do when they rehearsed.
It’s the death of bonzo. Jimmy felt responsible for the death because it was at his mansion. Robert and Jonsie both felt partially responsible.
Knebworth '79 sounded great, especially Kashmir. The DVD tells it all.

I watched them live in Houston Texas in 1971,I've been hooked every since.
This song is such an amazing composition with such awesome lyrics that our pastor plays it in church every so often. Loved it back in the day, and will always love this song. Pure Rock and Roll as it's meant to be!
I don't think they wrote it. They have other song that comes close to it.
It's one of those songs where the greatness of the original outshines any subsequent covers or live renditions. It sets just the right elements of composition altogether from the beginning; such that other versions may be nice, but you always come back to the original for the purest appreciation of the masterpiece that it truly is.
Your pastor EH? Jimmy Page was/is an occultism. Dont believe me, look it up. He did ceremonial rituals and some dark magic. Your pastor needs to learn a few things. May Queen is a witch. The Piper calling referred to here is Satan. I am LMAO. This song is a call to change the path you're on towards the other side. Just type Jimmy Page...occult...Aleister Crowley...people who sold their souls and you will wake up. Still a good song but WHO wrote it....
@@kellydixon60 Led Zeppelin did write Stairway to Heaven. The intro, however, is stolen from an Indian song.

“What drugs would you like before the gig?”

none lol

Awesome song and band
Its just so sad that Page with two Kg of weed and 20 beers still plays the guitar better than me...
You'll get there. Try it with that two Kg of weed next time. If that doesn't work, try 20 beers. You'll get there...
And if you can't play the guitar after drink 20 beer cans, or smoke 2 kg of weed. Just try to play like you want.
dont forget the heroin
hes on molly
Dude don't feel bad, do you still remember that this God is Jimmy Page?
Doesn't matter what bear or heroin gets in his body, he stills rock.
This song is STILL a classic and every classic rock fan's favorite.

I was there! Anyone else seeing them that was in attendance that day knows all these guys were performing in record heat in Philly ... it was a once in a life time experience to be in attendance, they could have sung and played backwards and it would have been more then alright just to see them perform again! They got the loudest roar from the audience of anyone who walked on to that stage!!!
That's a good comment to make. I know I am not at all my best self in the worst heat. I thought they seemed maybe a bit out of sorts, but I really liked the performances. I wish I could have been there, but I was only 9 at the time.
Oh, and that's so awesome you were there. Good for you pausing whatever you had going on for such an epic milestone in music history. It says something when some of the richest and most famous people out there all ate humble enough to perform for nothing and help others. I am impressed.
And I’m still stunned that people pick on this performance. You said it so well☮️

@@lewishore8642 cmon I love page but that solo was sloppy
A guiter god plays with his heart, doesn't matter his physical condition

It makes me sad seeing them like this, the biggest and most influential band no longer at their prime, but it's still amazing that they came together to do this show! I know that any gigs they have done since this i.e. 2007 at the O2 was back to the quality that we know them for, even if the the drummer is Jason Bonham, Zeppelin need a Bonham, that just seems to be fact! But one thing for sure, IF they ever did one more tour or gig, I'd buy a ticket without a moments thought!
Casual fans watch the solo by Page here, and they think he's lost! "What's he playing?" Zep fans know this is the framework for the Stairway solo he always used. It's nothing like the studio. He's not lost, it's actually very familiar.
Jimmy's high and drunk as shit but can still play
Edit: nevermind
XD
He was high and drunk all the zeppelin gigs everysingle one if them
Every song was played different
Never the same
@@SPGRAMPA1 yeah, but heroin really fucked him up, shame that
this solo was just to fill the time, not one of his best but still better than the Rolling Stone guitarist, hard to measure up to Eric Clapton for the Brits, not even Jeff Beck, one of the drummers looks like Phil Collins, not uncommon to have two sets of them, usually they take something to calm their nerves, at least they finished.
i remembered how Freddie Mercury was drunk and still managed to sing bohemian rhapsody while playing piano.
just search drunk freddie if u interested.

@@wrencormier513 when they first started playing I thought it was Mick Jagger till they got up closer.
OMG People!! It's not about how he LOOKS or getting HIGH Its about his MUSIC!!! Thanks JP
Each of these men paid their dues. They solidified rock music and took songs to such high levels it became difficult for most any band to reach the heights the Zepp members took it to. While most bands play hard to reach top notch standards but fail, Led Zepplin kept going with better and better. Once bands reach that high plateau, they are unable to do so after. Zepp kept it going. They will always remain the soul of Rock and Roll from each and every song they presented. We get older, things don't quite work as they used to. They came together, on stage after many years and played. Getting to stand and watch them perform would have been an honor. Stairway will always rate number one.
You never saw Keith Richards play that badly no matter what he had consumed...now that's legendary and JP is a joke.
Jimmy is off his nut ,smacked out , and still plays better than 99% of modern day musicians
played better than 99% of classic musicians too. not sure why you're taking a dig at the modern era, there's extremely impressive guitarists under 30 right now
you got that right @65swinny
Sorry but I know a bunch of guys who play in local classic rock cover bands who would have done a much better job than Page did that day.
@@sarabrown7689 Somehow i very much doubt that
Create your own history and see if anyone cares to listen to it 😂
Everyone talking about how high they are, yet they just remembered every note and word to Stairway to Heaven. I'm sober and can't remember what day it is.
N1
Actually if you watch Plant he has a cheat sheet at his feet for the lyrics. Not sure if he was high or not, but he did need a little help to remember the words. I was lucky enough to be there, very cool event!
At least they didn't forget the words like Fucken Roth!!
you too huh
Jim Henderson Well atleast Plant wasnt drop dead high like Page
The look Robert gives Jimmy at 1:19 says it all 😂 Regardless, it's still a better performance than many bands these days could muster up!

@@SoFarSoGoodSoWhat14 the most of them were high as fuck man, this was a good performance given they were so high
@@calummckenna9642 again, I've seen bands high off their tits who played better, like when you're one of the biggest bands of all time, playing at one of the biggest charity shows of all time, maybe you should have at least one rehearsal, and maybe warm up your voice before? Sounds like Phil Collins had had more practice than Page or Plant here, which is ironic considering he wasn't part of Led Zeppelin
Many? Who coukd even come close
brings back memories of being there. the buzz of led zepplin actually playing was beyond words. back then the idea of getting these 2 on a stage was near impossible let alone doing stairway to heaven.
So loved Jimmy in the 70s. So sad as a fabulous 🎸 guy. The 🐐 and Rob s voice. So sincere. Jimmy is mega high here 😢😢😢
This is great, but really shows me what a great force and part of Led Zeppelin John Bonham was and is. No wonder they group dis-banded. Bonham can't be replaced! His drumming made this song as much as the guitars and vocals did.
Excatly.
That double neck SG is absolutely priceless. A musical instrument immeasurable in worth. 🎸
Page does not need the tele neck, he nails the c in the triplet. Yeah 1st time it is awkward but you get used to it.

Live aid would have to be one of the best concerts in history. Imagine those lucky enough to be there!
No, it’s not “would have” it WAS. Live Aid was the best concert in history. Period. Back then you had to pay to have access to most music video stations as most humans had just the most basic of cable but on that day everything was free. The world opened up and channel corporations allowed the average person like me to watch this extraordinary event. Until the Gulf War a few years later I had never seen paid channels open themselves to everyone. All performers kept to their time frame, no one tried to go over and no egos got in the way - it was the most amazing concert ever! And Phil Collins tool the concord so that he could play at both the British and US concerts - he just wanted to play the drums and help out. There is a book that came out shortly after the concert, but I’m sure it’s long out of print by now, but it or the DVD are well worth the hunt. This was the concert of the century and beyond, it changed music, and it was one of the most amazing experiences watching on my living room floor settled into the shag carpet!
@@laurabaird7267 Yeah that would have been unbelievable. Even watching it on UA-cam and seeing the crowd it looks amazing!
I was there and it was excrutionably hot. It must have been 95 easy all day. The good part was they allowed coolers so we had lots of supplies.
@@laurabaird7267 i agree with your opinion but being there was something else. I still have my ticket and a mint condition sweatshirt. I have been to hundreds of shows since 73 and that one was epic. I was only invited by my friend the day before and had to scramble to catch a flight. And wouldnt you know it an electrical storm prevented me from taking off. Didnt arrive at my friends house until 5 a m . So with 2 hours sleep i managed to stay up in sweltering heat to an epic concert and event.

I remember sitting up all night here in Melbourne Australia with my fingers on the record button on my Beta video recorder, was 16 at the time, couldn't believe i was seeing Zep live, well, kinda Zep.
So you could watch it on here that’s why you were born in 1992, lucky for me I was born in 1960, watched these and many other greats since then. You haven’t missed much as it’s all been recorded.
Happy birthday God bless you that's so cool keep jamming on love you so much inspiration for you awesome carol g 💖
I truly believe, that Jimmy is so smacked out of his mind here, that about half-way through the solo - he forgets where he is and thinks he's playing a Led Zeppelin concert in 1972, where he could do a 20 minute+ solo. At 8:25 you can hear Robert Plant completely cut him off to move along to the next part of the song, and Jimmy snaps out of it (sort of) lol.
I believe the part about Jimmy being smacked out of his mind, but not sure why Robert cut off the solo, if you've seen Jimmy play this live, that's always how he ends it, he was just about to hit that iconic riff that concludes the solo. From watching the interview after the performance, it sounds like the monitors weren't great and they were haivng a hard time hearing, so maybe Robert thought he was at the end. It was literally the next riff that ends the solo.
That drummer was beating those drums like they owed him money tho.. Hard to hear monitors over a loud drum kit.. Just sayin.
@@lilmike2710 I think the drummer was Phil Collins bro
@@cameronlowrey9371 For real?
Dam he should have known better then lol.. 4 real tho live aid was literally thrown together at virtually the last minute and all bands either had their gear quickly flown in and tossed together on stage or just used what happened to have been already out there. None of the acts were paid per-se as it was charity. . im %100 sure that everything wasn't up to most of the acts personal preferences as far as sound and monitors go and all that... I have no real complaints about any of it.
Led zepp, black sabbath, queen etc... It was epic and a solid part of music history.
Phil Collins looked lost, Tony Thompson was doing the heavy lifting. In the ijte/interview after Phil Collins said he didn't really know the songs.
Jimmy is high as a kite and with his worst performance still plays better than i most people ever could. Thank god he got sober and is in good shape in his later years in life.
🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
I don't condone substance abuse and I'm glad these legends have cleaned up since their hay days. At the same time, loads of brilliance came from legendary artists so, there's something to be said about creating during an altered state of consciousness.
And he actually admits it's the drummers fault this concert was bad
@@Yourfavoritesalad 😔
@@Yourfavoritesalad "he actually admits" you meant to say "he actually blames the drummer" perhaps instead?
Jimmy was really fμcked up in this video and his performance is sloppier than his usual "sloppy" style that he has.
What ever the problems....Seeing these two perform together again in 85 was like the second coming.
We all felt that we had died and gone to heaven.
sal economos john Paul Jones wasnt there?
Didn't appear to be so, I was wondering myself. Guy's hair was wrong but unsure what JPJ would've looked like in the mid 80s.
sal economos damn right
Jonesey is on keys. Legend goes that Plant basically wanted Page with his band, so they just didn't call him until quite late - JPJ actually effectively had to invite himself.
Po raz pierwszy usłyszałem ich na początku lat 70 dla mnie są i byli i będą klasykami i geniuszami rocka
At the end of Page's solo, it seems he's waiting for the drums to lead him into the solos finale, which they fail to do. So Page seems to have a point about the drummers not knowing the material.
Jimmy is always right.
Page said not long after Bonham died when asked why Zeppelin wont go on he said " I could never imagine playing and not looking back for Bonham. Led Zeppelin is finished"
The reason why these events generally suck is because much of the time, there are no rehearsals. That's not the drummer's fault and Page looks like he was to drunk to rehearse anyway.
Cant blame the drummers, doubt they even rehearsed for this so they weren’t aware of the style of playing.
Phil 👎
Man Jimmy crack me up when he’s high, he’s not even trying to not look high😂
Why should he?
no hiding that shit LMAO
8:28 "ok, that´s enough Jimmy"
If you check around 8:27 page did an eye contact and nod for plant to sing now.
Solo was actually amazing.
yeyinitta 09 Yea, u said that like three times already. It doesn’t even look like that any way.
@@GamerTech28 oh yeah, how does it look then?
@@yeyinitta0939 Yeah I saw that! That moment where it looks like he simultaneously wet himself. Good ol' Jimmy, pointlessly multitasking even under the sternest of examinations.
Well done. I’ve been seeking solace today to quell my combat PTSD. This really helped. Thank you for your work on making this video. 🤘🇺🇸
Question: How does Jimmy play while so blitzed? Answer: Practice
He's a was a professional drug taker and a professional guitarist so they just gel together
@@matthewjdouglas6471 A perfect combination
Its called muscle memory, because of frequent repetition it happens without conscious thought...🤷♀️🙏🏻
You call that playing? I've heard bar-bands play these songs better than these assholes; give me a fucking break. Yeah Jimmy Page has had plenty of practice being a fraud, and stealing other people's music. LOL !!!
@@Stublinsky thats stupid you cant deny zeppelin was incredibly influencial in the development of rock music this performance is well known to be one of led zeppelins worst
