Led Zeppelin Live Aid 1985 1 Rock n Roll Stereo (Read Description 1st)

Led Zeppelin's infamous return to the stage in Philadelphia's JFK Stadium in July 1985 to support Bob Geldof's international "Live Aid" event to bring relief to the Ethiopian famine. Introduced by Phil Collins, the band takes to the stage with Tony Thompson on drums & Collins tagging along.
This clip has been cleaned up: the green hues from the 20 yr old + tape has been removed, the brightness & contrast have been balanced out.
The audio has been synchronized to the FM broadcast captured on an old cassette tape. That audio was pretty messed up & had lots of dropouts, hopefully the results are satisfactory. The original audio is heard at the beginning of this clip, the enhanced stereo sound starts around :30 sec into the clip.
Enjoy!!
For best results, watch in HQ with headphones.
PS ---- Queen was in London that day, this performance was in the USA

[@dinhwood]

Rock and Roll is probably my favorite concert opener -- but Plant can't sing it as the first song, which is why it surprises me that the band did in fact open with this. Plant didn't do warm-up exercises before taking the stage (ever), which damaged his vocal cords around 1972. Since then he has needed to start out with songs in a lower register, which is why Rock and Roll became the closing number (frequently an encore).

Jimmy was really high that day. Fortunately, he overcame his addictions (he just didn't stop smoking ...) he showed enormous willpower and discipline when he left drugs and alcohol. That was great, he is alive and healthy, 77 years old now, so beautiful with his gray hair. I love you Jimmy! I love you since I was born and I will love you until the last moment of my life. Thanks to you the world had Led Zeppelin! 🎶🎸❤️

Robert Plant's vocal chords were overflactuating due to years of singing with a lot of compression. But he still did perform in front of all these thousands of people and one's gotta respect that. Plus he's a legend and always will be. So fair play to him, quite literally.

I was there. It was a Philadelphia Rock Show crowd there, and all anyone talked about all day was seeing Zeppelin. They split in 1980, and no one at the time thought they would see the remaining members together again. Also I remember only seeing Led Zep t-shirts everywhere. When Phil Collins announced the band the roar was so loud we didn't hear John Paul Jones introduced. We finally realized it was him halfway through the set(we were in the back of the stadium. ) It was a memorable show. Clapton was great, the Beach Boys also. Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young reunited also, but for some reason all the Led Zeppelin fans ended up with tickets.

[@euanelliott8068]

I remember sitting on my bed in 1985 watching this live on TV . It was apparent Robert was struggling with the pitch,and when Jimmy went for the solo I held my breath because I was sure he was going to fall over. They went on too long as Phil missed the ending,due to Robert missing the Ooh yeah bit once. He did it second time around and Roberts like "Stop! I wanna get off". Tony and JPJ made a decent job of it. And Paul did great on bass when JPJ played keyboards on Stairway. They saved a lot of lives that night by not minding what people thought. R.I.P: Tony Thompson.

[@melindawakley7859]

Their shambolic performance at Live Aid is the stuff of legend. Such a disappointment for the world who eagerly waited for it. Young people don’t realise how amazing for us Live Aid was. The fact that we all watched on TV the same thing at the same time, was an incredible concept back then. Which is why so many bands got on board and agreed to do it ...for free. It was the best thing about the mid 1980’s. I think. And how quickly it was all organised. I doubt Led Zeppelin would have had time to rehearse.

In my opinion John Paul Jones was and is the most talented musician in Zeppelin. It's cool to see the surviving members rock out w/ Phil. Also, in the 80s Robert Plant had a pretty good run during this period as a solo artist w/ his albums "The Principle of Moments", which Phil Collins played drums on.. "Shaken N Stirred", and "Now and Zen."

[@myself1943]

And Brian Jones of Rolling Stones.

[@PickettMusic]

Agreed. JPJ is the secret weapon...

[@eldiablo3794]

​@@myself1943 what are you referring to when you say Brian Jones?

[@eldiablo3794]

​@PickettMusic def! he is such a talented musician and plays so many different instruments. I feel like if Zep never dissolved or Bonham never died, JPJ and Plant would've took Zeppelin into a more commercially accessible musical direction that Plants solo career eventually went into w/ synthesizers. If you listen to Zeppelin's last album, in through the outdoor, it's already a glimpse of the direction they were going in entering into the 1980s.. and the composers and driving creative force behind that last album was JPJ and Robert Plant.

[@russw9159]

So true. His arrangements and musicianship made that band the studio powerhouse that it was. They never were a very good live band, though, in spite of Jonesy's skills. This performance really pissed me off at the time, cuz the bass was inaudible, and JPJ got almost no camera time, despite years of life as a recluse.

Led Zeppelin is my absolute favorite band of all time, but that is so painful to watch.

[@harryurz]

Bearing in mind Phil Collins had performed at Wembley the same day then caught Concorde to fly to the USA for this performance in Philly with no rehearsal and jet-lagged he did quite well!! As for Robert, ....well.

[@paulcolville5972]

And what was the point of Phil playing both stages? Oh yeah, none. Ego. It's not all about you Phil?

[@joerobinson41]

Propper out the head

[@jacobjinglehymer8789]

It's funny how Phil Collins was so hot back then, that HE was the one to play both concerts, and I bet very few millennial's even know who the hell he is now.

[@pami9208]

Im always so thrilled to see these great concert videos.. for all the shows I missed.. so great to be able to experience them.. even all these years later! GREAT!

[@mister3566]

It'll be a long time before I ever watch this again. Shocking.

[@phenixreturns]

The best is to read Phil's autobiography to understand what had to come great and became a chaos

just listen to 2:32 and you heard everything about this "performance".

I remember watching this live and being horrified that this was the mighty Led Zeppelin. They more than made up for it in 2007 at the O2.

@Joe F You talk like you can also do better. It really isn't hard to tell when a band is doing a terrible show.

It took two drummers to fill in for J.Bonham in this concert !!! What a shame!!! Geetings from Brazil.

The gentleman who worked his butt off on this video. Two huge thumbs up! I only watch KZbin videos with my amplifier and Sennheiser headphones. And you sir did an outstanding job!!! Thank you so much!

[@tinahakim6649]

robert plant's voice has been holding on for dear life since 1972

[@stevenkolar8133]

It’s true

[@joeyhuebner10]

Steven Kolar- Just because he cannot hit the high notes doesn't mean he can't sing. He's been in fine voice on his Carry Fire Tour.

[@matthewmcpeek7324]

tina hakim during his solo career, he was smart enough to rely on the melodic parts of his voice. Burning down one side, 29 Palms, big log, there are plenty of songs where he makes use of his beautiful voice. But screaming and hollering and throwing his hair back was for the early seventies I agree. Not that kind of voice

[@joeyhuebner10]

Matthew McPeek- I completely agree, and he can throw his hair back and howl... to an extent. But he was one of the smart ones who adapted but never compromised. I love his current voice because his mid range is so full and vibrant. He can still do some vocal acrobatics, but applies them wisely.

[@arthurpussy]

yes your right and the main reason they will never tour again one night like o2 but night after night no way but god they are nearly 70 now just think of the good times and what they have given us

[@hermanhelmich]

As usual the best man in the band is forgotten by the camera's

[@arthurdduda8233]

let me guess jonsey? They were all good and essential parts of the band, but Mr. bass player, umm, no one but other bass players go to a concert to see the bass player, Robert and Jimmy were the front men, now if jonsey sang or had to put himself out there like Jimmy all the time where every so called expert guitar player and critic could find the slightest thing to rip you apart if you weren't prefect every time, then yeah jonsey would have had the camera on him more, it often was when he played piano

[@guitarplayer2846]

in LZ, John Paul Jones played bass, keyboards, mandolin, rhythm guitar and acoustic guitar. But you are right, people are clueless.

[@philsurtees]

Yeah, well, on the down side, most people don't realise that if the drummer or bass player have a bad day then the whole band has a bad day, while if the singer or guitarist have a bad day, the rest of the band can still pull it off. The rhythm section are the unsung heros of rock. It's like the music in a movie; if the composer is doing his job then you don't notice it. If you do notice it then then the whole thing is fucked! On the up side, if you're in the rhythm section you can usually walk down the street and go to the supermarket without being mobbed. There are good sides and bad sides to everything... :-)

LOL that's the problem with those high note singers. They sound great when they are young but most of them very quickly lose their ability to hit those highs. Thank goodness for recordings!
