Was oft vergessen wird: Phil Collins war beim legendären Live Aid Konzert Drummer von Led Zeppelin. Wenig begeistert blicken beide Parteien darauf zurück:
Jimmy Page has long blamed Phil Collins for the shambolic performance, and it seems as though he still feels that way.
„The drummer couldn’t get the beginning of ‚Rock and Roll‘, so we were in real trouble with that,“ Page told The Times and The Sunday Times Cheltenham Literature Festival.
He added that the decision to get back together was „not very clever“.Previously, Page said: „Robert told me Phil Collins wanted to play with us. I told him that was all right if he knows the numbers. But at the end of the day, he didn’t know anything. We played ‚Whole Lotta Love‘, and he was just there bashing away cluelessly and grinning. I thought that was really a joke.“
(…)
For his part, Collins felt there was plenty of blame to be spread around, telling Q in 2014: „I thought it was just going to be low-key and we’d all get together and have a play. But something happened between that conversation and the day – it became a Led Zeppelin reunion. I turned up and I was a square peg in a round hole. Robert was happy to see me, but Jimmy wasn’t. You could sense I wasn’t welcome. If I could have walked off, I would have done. But then we’d all be talking about why Phil Collins walked off Live Aid – so I just stuck it out. It was a disaster, really. Robert wasn’t match-fit with his voice and Jimmy was out of it, dribbling. It wasn’t my fault it was crap.“
In Collins‘ defence, Led Zeppelin’s next reunion in 1988 for the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert with John Bonham’s son Jason replacing him on drums wasn’t much better received.
