    Jimmy Page says it was a mistake to hire Phil Collins for Led Zeppelin’s Live Aid reunion

    "We were in real trouble"
    By
    Tom Skinner 14th October 2021

    Jimmy Page has said that it was a mistake to enlist Phil Collins to fill in on drums for Led Zeppelin at Live Aid.

    Collins and drummer Paul Martinez both played live with the reunited Led Zep – Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones – at the legendary 1985 concert, as did bassist Tony Thompson.

    Speaking in a new interview with The Times and The Sunday Times, Page admitted it was “not very clever” to reform the band, who had split in 1980 following the death of their drummer John Bonham.

    “The drummer couldn’t get the beginning of ‘Rock And Roll’,” Page explained about Live Aid. “So we were in real trouble with that.”

    He also told The Times that Led Zeppelin had less than two hours to rehearse for their three-song set, which included the classics ‘Whole Lotta Love’ and ‘Stairway To Heaven’.

    Led Zeppelin went on to reunite again in 2007 for a performance at The O2 in London. Recalling how nervous he felt ahead of the concert, Page told The Times: “A lot more could go wrong. I didn’t want to be the one making the mistake.”

    Phil Collins reflected on the disastrous Live Aid show during an interview last year, explaining: “If I could have walked off, I would have done, ’cause I wasn’t needed and I felt like a spare part.”

    The majority of the Genesis musician’s preparation for the concert came from listening to Led Zeppelin’s tracks on the flight to Philadelphia. “I didn’t rehearse when I got there, but I listened to ‘Stairway To Heaven’ on Concorde,” he said. “I arrived and went to the caravans, and Robert said: ‘Jimmy Page is belligerent’.”
     

    NME (Tom Skinner) needs to update this article, as we can clearly see all kinds of errors. Firsthand, Everyone knows Martinez was the bassist brought in for Live Aid and Tony Thompson (R.I.P.) was the drummer. Don’t get me started with other incorrect articles from recent publications.

    Thx for sharing đŸ˜ŽđŸŽžđŸ‘đŸŽ¶

    one of my favorite groups

    (saw them two years ago in Atlanta)

    cool to see their former guitarist back in the live touring group for now and to see a new drummer (ex Thornley drummer).

    The Intro (First minute) has an homage to Led Zeppelin’s, “In The Light”.

    Then that settles it, BobDobbs is my longtime forum nemesis aka IpMan. I know exactly how our meeting would go. In fact, here it is. I am watching you look for the money stolen from Led Zeppelin at the Drake Hotel back in 1973 when BobDobbs shows up.

    Brian owns what is arguably the greatest private collection of Led Zeppelin items in the world. It was great to see him in this episode helping Rick acquire this item.

     

    😎👍 Thanks for sharing, Steve.

    WVH has successfully built upon the legacy of his dad’s band (playing bass there at the end), but has very skillfully created his own vision / thing (much like Dave Grohl has done going from Nirvana to Foo Fighters; making accessible hard rock). Cool live footage. I’m enjoying his cd, too!
