Ngaba le yeyona ndibano imbi? Xa uLed Zeppelin eguqulela i-Live Aid

Xa uLed Zeppelin waphinda wadibana kwiLive Aid ngo-1985, yayilelona xesha lalilindelwe kakhulu kwimbali yamatye. Kodwa ngelishwa, ukuhlangana kwakhona kwamoshwa bubunzima bobugcisa kwaye amazwi anamandla kaRobert Plant ayengavakali. Ibhendi yazabalaza ngeengoma ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba inikezele kwaye ihambe iphuma eqongeni. Yaba sisiphelo esidanisayo kwinto eyayinokuba lumanyano olubalaseleyo.

Ukudibana kwakhona kudla ngokuba zizihlandlo ezibalulekileyo. Umzuzwana xa abalandeli beqonda kanye into ebebeyiphosa ukusukela oko iqela liye lahamba ngeendlela zabo ezahlukeneyo. Izinto ezithandwa nguYesu kunye noMary Chain, Blur okanye The Libertines kwaye ngaphezulu bonke bafumene indawo yesibini yobomi emva kokwabelana ngeqonga kwakhona, ukubuya kwabo kuya kubakhokelela ekukhululeni izinto ezintsha kwaye bakhenkethe ilizwe. Ngaphandle kwamabali empumelelo adlulileyo, oku bekungenjalo Iled zeppelin xa iqela liphinde ladibana ngo-1985 kwi-Live Aid, intsebenzo enokuthi ikhunjulwe kuzo zonke izizathu ezingalunganga.

Ibhendi yayiza kuphinda idibane okokuqala okoko kwasweleka uJohn Bonham ngokungalindelekanga ngo-1980, umzuzu owaphawula isiphelo kwiqela elaliza kusokola ukuba liqumrhu elinye ngaphandle kokuvakala kwegubu. Nangona kunjalo, kwiminyaka emihlanu kamva kunye noBob Geldof wayeza kulawula ukukholisa amalungu amathathu aseleyo kwiimbombo ezine ze-rock kunye ne-roll ukuba ahlangane kwakhona ngesizathu esikhethekileyo, i-Live Aid.

UJohn Paul Jones, uJimmy Page kunye noRobert Plant babophelelekile ukuba badlale emlenzeni waseFiladelphia wesiganeko esibuhlungu, kodwa, kwimeko ephoxekayo, ukuhlangana kwakhona konakaliswa yikhathalogu yeempazamo. Iqela lomculo lidlale imizuzu engama-20, likhupha uthuli kwiiklasikhi ezintathu ezithi ‘iRock and Roll’, ‘Whole Lotta Love kunye ‘neZinyuko eziya ezulwini’.

UTony Thompson kunye noPhil Collins bamele iBonham kwimigqomo bobabini abangakhange banikwe xesha laneleyo lokuziqhelanisa, esinye sezikhalazo ezininzi ebelinazo iqela emva kweseti. Kodwa ityala belingekho kuphela emagxeni amalungu asanda kufunyanwa kunye noRobert Plant evuma kwiRolling Stone ngo-1988: Ngokweemvakalelo, bendisitya onke amagama endiwathethileyo. Ndabe ndinomsindo. Ndenze iigigs ezintathu kwi-trot ngaphambi kokuba ndifike kwi-Live Aid. Saziqhelisela emva kwemini, ndathi ndingena eqongeni ilizwi lam lalingasekho.

Iplanti yayingengokuphela kwelungu elalicaphukile. UJimmy Page udize kwiminyaka kamva ukuba akazange anikwe isiginkci nje ngaphambi kokuba ahambe eqongeni kwaye, nangona kunjalo, ayisebenzi. Oko, ngaphezulu kweemonitha ebezingasebenzi kakuhle, kubangele umboniso oyintlekele. Iphepha lityhiliwe: Iinkumbulo zam eziphambili, eneneni, yayizezoloyiko olupheleleyo. UJohn Paul Jones wafika phantse kwangaloo mini kunye nomboniso kwaye sasineyure yokuziqhelanisa neyure ngaphambi kokuba siyenze. Kwaye loo nto ivakala ngathi yi-kamikaze stunt, eneneni, xa ucinga ukuba wonke umntu waphinda waziqhelanisa njani.

UPhil Collins uthethe ixesha elide kwi-autobiography yakhe malunga nentlekele epheleleyo athe wazifumana ebandakanyekile kuyo, ebhala: Bendisazi ukuba amavili ayawa kwangethuba kwiseti. Andimva uRobert ngokucacileyo apho ndihleli khona, kodwa ndiyakuva ngokwaneleyo ukwazi ukuba akakho phezulu kumdlalo wakhe. Utsho uJimmy. Andikhumbuli ndidlala 'iRock And Roll', kodwa ngokucacileyo ndiyenzile. Kodwa ndikhumbula ixesha elininzi elimanyumnyezi apho ndisiva ukuba uRobert ukhala ntoni ‘njengokunitha’: umgqomo omnandi. Kwaye ukuba ungayifumana imifanekiso (inkampu yaseZeppelin yenze konke okusemandleni abo ukuyikhuhla kwiincwadi zembali), ungandibona ndilinganisa, ndidlala umoya, ndiphuma endleleni hleze kubekho ukonakala kukaloliwe. Ukuba bendisazi ukuba izakuba liqela elidlala amagubu amabini, ngendizisusile kwiinkqubo kwakudala ngaphambi kokuba ndifike naphi na kufutshane nePhiladelphia.

Waqhubeka: Kwiqonga andiwasusi amehlo am kuTony Thompson. Ndixhomekeke kuye. Kuya kufuneka ndilandele - uthatha ukhokelo olunzima kwaye ukhethe ukungawahoyi onke amacebiso am. Ukuzibeka ezihlangwini zakhe, mhlawumbi ucinga, ‘Esi sisiqalo somsebenzi omtsha. UJohn Bonham akasekho kwakhona. Bafuna umntu. Oku kunokuba sisiqalo sokuhlangana kwakhona kweLed Zeppelin. Kwaye andiyidingi le nto yam yesiNgesi.’

Andimgwebi, uThixo awuphumze umphefumlo wakhe. UThompson wayengumdlali wegubu omangalisayo. kodwa kwakungemnandanga kakhulu, kwaye ukuba ndandikwazile ukulishiya elo nqanaba, ngendimkile, embindini we-Stairway… ukuba kwakungekho ngaphambili. Kodwa khawucinge ukugubungela oko? Ukuhamba ngexesha lokuza kweSibini? Ngaba uCollins ucinga ukuba ungubani? Ngenene uGeldof ngewayenayo into afuna ukufunga ngayo. Emva kwento ebonakala ngathi ingunaphakade, siyayigqiba. Ndicinga ukuba, ‘Thixo wam, oko kwakubi kakhulu. Ngokukhawuleza oku kuphelile, kungcono.

Nangona kunjalo, nangona iseti yayigqibile, kwakusekho umzuzu omnye wokudideka okupheleleyo owawulindele uCollins njengoko iqela lalixoxwa emva koko kwi-MTV kunye nomntu owayesakuba yiGenesis ekhumbulayo: U-Hunter uqala ukubuza imibuzo, kwaye ngokukhawuleza kuyacaca ukuba akukho mntu umthatha ngokungathí sina. . URobert noJimmy banzima, banika iimpendulo ezingacacanga, ezingacacanga kwimibuzo ethe ngqo; UJohn Paul Jones usazolile kunempuku yecawa. Ndisizela uHunter. Uhlala emoyeni, abaphulaphuli behlabathi lonke balinde ngomphefumlo opholileyo, kwaye aba bafana bamenza abonakale njengesidenge.

Kuyacaca ukuba uCollins usaziva ngathi uthathwe ngokungafanelekanga kwisabelo seengonyama ngenxa yentsebenzo embi abonakala ecinga ukuba wonke umntu unetyala ngenxa yayo, wabhala: ULed Zeppelin akavumi ukuba lo mdlalo ubandakanywe kwiDVD yoNcedo olusemthethweni. . Kuba, kakade, babeneentloni ngayo. Kwaye ndifumanisa ukuba ngokuqhelekileyo ndim obekek’ ityala ngako. Akunakwenzeka ukuba yiLed Zep engcwele eyayinempazamo. Yayilaa geezer eze eConcorde engazange aphinde ayiqhelisele. Wayengumoni. Oko kuboniswa.

Jonga iiseti zabo ezingezantsi kwaye wenze eyakho ingqondo ukuba ngubani owayenempazamo kwesi sihlandlo.
