[@drivesideways6550]

WE did Love every minute of it! That's why I paid $240 for 3 tickets at 17 years old for general Admission on the field. I took my little Brother and good friend. That was an insane amount of money to me back then. But this would be my only chance to see my Idols, my favorite band in the word. General admission was $35 and I bought from a scalper for $80 a piece. 🤣 Times have changed no doubt. We were kids, had no provisions or money for that 16-hour concert that we left in the middle of the night the day before to get there, we even ran out of gas on the way there. We walked straight to the front of the stage side stepping the blankets everyone had laid out to mark off their territory and found our own little space to stand because we wouldn't be denied. Everyone who was anyone in 1985 and before was there. What a show!

[@VladDImpala]

@jordanlacombe4318. *No one forced Page to become a junkie, you have to wonder why he started doing heavy drugs during a period when Zep were the most famous band in the world. At that point, Page had been working in the music business since his late teens, surely he knew the pitfalls of heroin and coke abuse, he's certainly not a stupid person. IIRC, he started doing heroin in 1975-76. Since we get very little info directly from Page himself, most info is from people who were close to the band. Page did say his autobiography will be released after his death. I take that info with a huge grain of salt.*

I watched the televised performance that day. And NO BODY WAS CALLING IT SLOPPY. Everyone was freaking out that Zeppelin was actually playing again and losing their minds. Hind sight is always 20/20.

[@time2see192]

Notice at 5:53 timestamp, when asked any chance Zeppelin could play together again, After a long pause where noone seemed to want to advert, Robert said a solid YES, but Pages head was shaking NO. Whether subconsciously, definitively or drunkenly, this quite held true... THEN, upon further inquiry by the host, abd the previous awkward silence, Robert changed the subject, opting instead to promote his upcoming gigs, while Page simply did NOT respond AT ALL, then dropped his butt on the floor as if to signify in visual terms- DONE. How can you really dislike the company of each other SO MUCH, after making literal musical magic with each other for over 10 years!? Imagine being Jones and knowing firsthand the tension between those two, his flat affect shows he has zero say in getting to play with his band again. Only time would tell he would get only one more chance to indulge himself and the rest of us, 12 years after this Live Aid moment. 😪 Perhaps Jimmy is just on his high horse here (literally) and we all know he would rather share the same room with satan, than Robert Plant. And, certainly he has...Dude is DARK. I think the joke about the girlfriend- was prob referring to a prostitute they saw leaving Jimmy's room...hence the joke "What was her name?" This cracked plant up, but prob irked Jimmy, that seemed to have caused a lapse in his smiling. 😅 Hah! BUSTED Mr. Aleister Idolizer! It's no wonder he holds a grudge for so long...

[@messi8921]

I think Jimmy held a grudge against Collins due to his involvement on Plants 1st album. Phil Collins was really encouraging towards Plant going solo. Jimmy wanted to start a new band with Plant. Which never happened, Plant went on to have a solid solo career. Page didnt make a good album until Coverdale Page. Thats all asumptions 🤷‍♂️

[@musoseven8218]

See my comments above. It's like foreign aid out of the UK (the US et al do the same), often, I suspect, goes straight to some puppet dictator who then comes back to buy weapons from the military industrial complex in the country that supplied the foreign aid. A friend had a promising career in aviation manufacturing. He quit, why? The training aircraft he was working on, were sold, using foreign aid to buy them, in an up armoured form, to a dictator to use to bomb his own people. The love of money, the root of all evil. And many modern charities are merely cons too, in the UK ex male soldiers rot on the streets whilst two key charities sit on mountains of cash and pay their CEOs a fortune. Live Aid? I've never researched where all the money went, but I bet it didn't all get to where it was most needed or even meant to go?

[@royharper2003]

@@musoseven8218 I don't know about buying weapons but I don't really trust any charities or fund raising activities anymore. Even if money went to countries that needed it their leaders/government probably pocketed the majority of the money and spent little to help the crises it was meant to help.

Shame on MOD/Govt, shame on the highly paid CEOs of said charities. And predictably so, after the passing of Cpt Tom, his fund raising monies are being investigated as they've gone awry too.

Then the interviewer here is saying “Talk about what a significant event Live Aid is, your set was great- will you be getting back together?
