Led Zeppelin Live Aid 1985 3 Stairway to Heaven Stereo (Read Description First)

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.
Part 3: The Led Zeppelin reunion takes flight on the Stairway, & carries with them 90,000+ along for the ride. Does anybody remember laughter?
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.
Enjoy!!!

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.

[@davidcavan8227]

I'm truly thankful for, at the young age of 15, seeing "Stairway to Heaven" performed live at my very first concert "An Evening with Led Zeppelin" on 4/20/1977 at Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati Ohio. Sadly, this concert turned out to be the very last time the mighty Led Zeppelin would ever grace my city (RIP Bonzo). It still remains THE BEST concert I have ever seen to date. Indeed, I'll never forget feeling the concrete floor of the coliseum literally bOuNcInG uP aNd DoWn from everyone stomping their feet as "Trampled Under Foot" ended their 3+ hour long show that magical night. Little did I know their last song ever performed live in Cincy would be ironically prophetic for me only a few years later and yards away, specifically at 7:26pm on 12/3/1979 as I stood half frozen outside on the coliseum's pavilion, waiting to get inside for a concert that started at 8:05pm, when suddenly, I was caught up in a stampede that came from behind me and carried me forward about 10-15 feet before I even realized what was happening, and by then I was being pushed/falling down, with my legs/arms unmovable due to the tightly packed crowd around me. That natural reaction everyone has when falling down to put their hands out in front to keep their head/face from hitting the ground was impossible. In the next moment, I just closed my eyes to accept my fate, because I knew I couldn't prevent whatever was about to happen. Only recently have I remembered thinking "Well, I guess this is how I will die". With my eyes still closed and fully expecting to feel the pain of being trampled underfoot, it instead now felt like I was being pushed directly from in front of me and back upright. The crowd was pushing back at the stampede that was carrying me forward and pushing me down. As I opened my eyes to confirm this, I silently begged this frontal force to continue, because I was almost/about to regain my footing and balance. Thankfully it did, and my first thought was being very thankful to be uninjured and happy to be standing on my own two feet. The crowd push or stampede, which in reality only took a few seconds of time, was now over and had stopped just as quickly as it had started. My next thought however was pure rage at whoever was behind me/pushing me down, because that easily could have killed me. I turned around to yell at whoever it was, but everyone behind me has this strange look in their eyes and weird expression on their faces, kind of like "WTF just happened?" I even saw a bit of remorse in the dude's face/eyes behind me. I just turned back around without saying a word, thankful just to be alive, as I stood there in a crowd of half frozen rockers still waiting to get inside the coliseum and find a seat to watch the concert. As scary and traumatic as that crowd stampede was, I know I'm very lucky to have survived it AND see The Who perform an outstanding concert on December 3, 1979. At least I was luckier than the 26 fans with Who tickets that missed the concert because they were taken instead to local hospitals for their severe crushing/trauma injuries that occurred in the same stampede and/or crowd push I was involved in. And I'm definitely luckier than the 11 rockers with tickets to watch The Who perform on that cold winter evening of 12/3/1979 at Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati, Ohio, because tragically, they didn't survive the stampede/crowd push, and in turn, not only missed a fantastic concert, but the rest of their young adult lives, may they all R.I.P., they are not forgotten. I apologize for going off topic, but these two iconic British bands are forever linked in my mind to an event I can simply never forget.

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!
