Led Zeppelin - 1988-05-14 - New York, NY (SBD)

The start of the decade the 1980s spelled the untimely end of Led Zeppelin as a result of the tragic death of drummer John Bonham on September 24, 1980 when he over drank, vomited while passed out, and choked. The 3 remaining members of th band reunited only on a few select occasions, preferring to leave Led Zep in their past.  One such moment was Live Aid in 1985, when Phil Collins filled in on drums.  They also played together at their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.  Another reunion took place in December 2007 at the O2 Arena in London for a tribute concert for Ahmet Ertegun, the founder of Atlantic Records, Led Zep's label, who had died a year earlier.  This soundboard recording captures a 4th Led Zep reunion, on May 14, 1988, 24 years ago today. Plant, Page, and Jones, joined by Bonham's son Jason on drums, headlined a concert at Madison Square Garden to celebrate Atlantic Record's 40th anniversary.  Also on the bill that night were CSN, the Bee Gees, Phil Collins, Genesis, Yes, Foreigner and The Rascals, just to name a few, but it was the mighty Led Zep that closed the 23 hour marathon, a tribute to their place in rock history.
