Phil Collins has insisted, and rightly so, that he was not the one that fucked up the Live-Aid performance. He said the gathered band had not rehearsed, and Tony Thompson in particular arrogantly/cocainely insisted he knew the song, but as Phil pointed out, "Stairway" is deceptively tricky in its timing. Now, Phil rules, of course, and he's right. In fact, here's this clip of the song being performed sans vocals, with Simon Phillips on drums. Phillips is a mutant, one of the most insanely talented drummers of all time, and *he* fucks it up, too.

The story is that he was jet-lagged and didn't get a shot to rehearse it, either, but also that especially without vocals he just totally lost his place.
Good band, that Zeppelin.

feel like doing stairway at live aid was the mistake, it's a zeppelin reunion with tony thompson, switch that out for wanton song or trampled underfoot or something, nobody is going to mind

Tony couldn’t handle the bridge and overplayed the rest of it.

one of my friends just posted this weird cover of "san francisco"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b54U-bYh5bU
and listening to it, it seems to be based on the "san francisco" interpolation into "dazed and confused" in '73? a, uh, sort of achillean take on san francisco (#onethread). except with like. autotune and stuff.
a little bit "what why"

is that donovan at 5:53 or so?
it's weird how young and small everyone looks, and how dirty. i'm glad this clip isn't in smell-o-vision - the unwashed bodies, the constant ciggies. so weird to see bonham looking young and healthy.

Yes, that is Donovan. Page and Jones played on a few of his recordings.

Yeah, that's tough. Either side C of PG or side 2 of IV?

My head says Side B of PG; my heart says Side A of IV (first I ever heard them).
