Quote:By the time Live Aid rolled around, the band wasn't even together.  They'd been broken up for nearly half a dozen years after Bonzo's death, so no wonder it wasn't good.  The only band members present were Plant and Page, and they hadn't rehearsed with the stand-ins.

 

I understand that....and they weren't alone, as a number of bands had performances at Live Aid that they'd rather have forgotten...

 

I was speaking of Plant and Page in specific anyway. Plants vocals were horrible and Page's playing wasn't all that great that day either. But as said, I've seen many live clips of Zeppelin from even back in the 70's when they all were there, and a lot of times it wasn't all that great, certainly paled to the studio Zeppelin.
