On 13 July 1985, Page, Plant, and Jones reunited for the Live Aid concert at JFK Stadium, Philadelphia , playing a short set with drummers Tony Thompson and Phil Collins and bassist Paul Martinez . Collins had contributed to Plant’s first two solo albums; Martinez was a member of Plant’s solo band. The performance was marred by a lack of rehearsal with the two drummers, Page’s struggles with an out-of-tune guitar, poorly functioning monitors, and Plant’s hoarse voice. Page described the performance as “pretty shambolic”, while Plant characterised it as an “atrocity”.
