While I adore both Collins and Zeppelin, I sometimes wonder how the critics would differ if they performed together regularly rather than just at special events like Live Aid. That collaboration was a one-time gem, wasn’t it?

Reflecting on it, the Live Aid performance remains a significant moment for both artists. It was not just a concert but a symbol of unity in rock music. Fans still celebrate that day with immense fondness.
