Check out Phil Collins' book and his story about the Live Aid gig. Plant and Collins had become friends after Collins played drums with Plant's first two solo albums. Plant had heard about this concert for Africa and asked if Collins would be interested in playing as a jam with Plant. Plant then called up Page and all of a sudden it was a Zeppelin reunion and the expectations became more than just a couple of friends jamming. Also, Bonham's son Jason was a big fan of Phil Collins after his dad died to the point of following him on the road and (back in 2013) he actually rehearsed with Collins' band at the possiblity of a new tour. That position ultimately went to Collins' son Nic to play drums on tour with his Dad. Good discussion.
Thanks so much for sharing all this fascinating info! 🙏 It’s incredible how the Live Aid gig went from a jam between friends to a full Zeppelin reunion with so many expectations around it. The connection between Phil Collins, Robert Plant, and even Jason Bonham really shows how music builds bridges across generations. And seeing Nic Collins step in for the tour is such an emotional continuation of that legacy! Thanks for adding so much to the discussion 😊 Have you read Phil Collins' book? What did you think of it?
@@TuneRoots7 loved Phil Collins' book. I've read it a couple of times. As a drummer, I love his playing. I love how he apologizes for being everywhere in the 80's. For those of us that digested so much music in the 80's, it's humorous. Love his story about recording percussion for George Harrison's All Things Must Pass. Good read.
I heard a different story on how they got the spacy reverb drum. I was told they forgot to turn off one amp and or a second mic. so their was a time shift on real reverb sound. They considered doing again but they listened to it a few times and kept the take.
That’s such an interesting take on the story! It’s amazing how sometimes those ‘accidental’ moments create such iconic sounds. I’ve also heard a few versions of how they achieved that legendary reverb, including ambient mic placements in a stairwell. It’s cool to think they just decided to keep it after hearing how unique it sounded! Have you heard any other stories about how they experimented with recording techniques?
Absolutely! Left-handed and right-handed drummers really do bring different approaches and feels to the drums, almost like they’re playing in two unique worlds. It’s so interesting to see how they each develop their own style around their setups. Are there any left-handed drummers you find especial
Exactly! It’s like comparing two completely different approaches to the same instrument. Jack White and Eddie Van Halen each have such unique styles and ways of pushing musical boundaries-it’s all about the personality they bring to their playing. It’s those differences that make music so diverse and interesting.

Left handed drummers and right handed drummers are from completley different universes.
