The band's guitarist Jimmy Page later blamed Phil Collins for the disappointing performance. However, the band members did decide to donate money to the charity. Zeppelin refused to let their performance be included when the DVD was released in 2004. Page subsequently described the performance as "pretty shambolic" and Plant has called it "a fucking atrocity". The two drummers, Phil Collins and Tony Thompson, had also not rehearsed nor played together before. Robert Plant's voice was not at its best, there were equipment problems and Jimmy Page's guitar was badly out of tune. The reformation of heavy rock legends Led Zeppelin for the first time since the death of their drummer, John Bonham, in 1980 was expected by many to be the highlight of the Philadelphia concert, but the band were under-rehearsed for their 17-minute, three-song set.
