if so please share. My Brother In Law had tickets for JFK (I believe that's the venue) and Bonham died a few months before.

I saw the reunion at Live Aid. Sad ending. I’ll never forget seeing Phil Collins fly from London to Philly then introducing Led Zeppelin before playing drums for their set. Too bad it sucked.

One of the hard rock bands I would loved to have seen. I wish I'd seen Robert Plant and Allison Krauss when they've come to Finger Lakes region these past few years. An unusual pairing but they make it work. Some pretty cool rockabilly tunes.

Spectrum in Philly, I think 1974 maybe 75? Very loud. Some good moments, some long winded, self indulgent, bloated frankly boring moments as well

Sounded good to me. Of course I had been there 10 hours already before they played. I was also about 100 yards away. So I just watched. Plant had a difficult time reaching those high notes like he did in the 70’s. Probably why songs of his in the 1980’s like “big log” were sung much lower,

I remember afterwards there was a big issue with some blaming Phil Collins. Can’t recall all of the details. Still though, it was my generation’s Woodstock and overall, it was AWESOME.

I remember that. I was 19. There were two drummers though on that set. Phil and someone else. He sang stairway to heaven the best.

I remember them showing videos of a guy leaving Wembley in a helicopter. Hours later they showed the Concorde landing. And the guy got into a another helicopter. Then Phil shows up to introduce LZ.

Led Zeppelin was as bit before my time but I did see Page and Plant at the Spectrum in ‘95. The crowd was so loud cheering and singing along to all the hits.
