The 1971 Song Phil Collins Thinks Led Zeppelin Never Topped: The Epic Groove of "When The Levee Breaks"

Phil Collins, who played with Led Zeppelin at Live Aid, chooses "When The Levee Breaks" (1971) as the track they never surpassed. The cavernous sound of John Bonham's drums, recorded on the steps of a mansion, created one of the most iconic grooves in rock history. Collins gave standing ovation when listening to Bonham and considers this one of the best drum recordings of all time: "It's just groove, sound, attitude". The track brings back old blues with monumental power. Despite the Live Aid disaster, Collins remains a lifelong fan. Essential for anyone who loves Led Zeppelin, legendary drums and classic rock.
