My two top favorite bands.
Both participated simultaneously across the globe via the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcast at the time; an estimated audience of 1.9 billion, across 150 nations, watched the live broadcast, nearly 40% of the world population.
Queen played at Wembley Stadium. Led Zeppelin played at JFK Stadium.
That’s were the similarities end.
Queen’s Live Aid concert has been praised as one of the best (if not the best) live concert performance of all times. Freddie Mercury was at top of his game, owning the audience. The rest of Queen played crisp and clean, great show.
Led Zeppelin on the other hand were horrid. Critics and even fans call it by far their worst performance ever...and the worst of any Live Aid act. Robert Plant’s voice was hoarse and off key. Jimmy Page looked drunk or high...and guest drummer Phil Collins was drumming to his own tune (to Page’s chagrin, but he shouldn’t talk).
