As contagious as it is to watch Belushi, you just can't take your eyes off of Aykroyd.

The sheer amount of talent on that small stage is staggering.

47 years apart yet it is still incredibly impressive.

“Mannish Boy” - Muddy Waters & The Rolling Stones

1981, during their U.S. tour, the Stones crashed Waters’ gig at Chicago’s tiny Checkerboard Lounge. Joined by guests like Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, they turned the dive bar into a blues supervova.

Origins of Battle of Evermore,

The song was written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant at Headley Grange while Page was experimenting on John Paul Jones's mandolin. Page explained in 1977 that 'Battle of Evermore' was made up on the spot by Robert and myself. I just picked up John Paul Jones's mandolin, never having played a mandolin before, and just wrote up the chords and the whole thing in one sitting.

For the recording of the song, singer Sandy Denny was invited to duet with Plant. Denny was a former member of British folk rock group Fairport Convention, with whom Led Zeppelin had shared a bill in 1970 at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music.

Plant played the role of the narrator and Denny represented the town crier. Page elaborated that "[The song] sounded like an old English instrumental first off. Then it became a vocal and Robert did his bit. Finally we figured we'd bring Sandy by and do a question-and-answer-type thing."

To thank her for her involvement, Denny was given the symbol on the album sleeve of three pyramids (the four members of Led Zeppelin each chose their own symbols for the album). This is the only song Led Zeppelin ever recorded with a guest vocalist. In an interview he gave in 1995 to Uncut magazine,

Plant stated that "For me to sing with Sandy Denny was great. We were always good friends with that period of Fairport Convention. Richard Thompson is a superlative guitarist. Sandy and I were friends, and it was the most obvious thing to ask her to sing on 'The Battle of Evermore'. If it suffered from naivete and tweeness—I was only 23—it makes up for in the cohesion of the voices and the playing.

This performance also features Najma Akhtar.

What a piece, just brilliant.

"Deep Purple, Queen, Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin members playing Purple's song on the same stage. Who could dream about it 40 years ago?"

Bruce Dickinson, Brian May, Ian Paice, and John Paul Jones performing 'Black Night' live onstage together.

That must be a dream line-up!

There’s an abiding love out there for the Mermaid Avenue albums, so I’m really looking forward to reconnecting with @Wilco to bring Woody’s words to life once again.
