You Missed

Fleetwood Mac ripped our hearts out in 1975 and we thanked them for it – because what else can you do when listening to a timeless piece of art like “Landslide?” Those deep guitars set the perfect beat for one of the most achingly relatable and poetic songs out there. On top of all that, “Landslide” is one of those rare gems of a song that only gets more powerful with each passing year….
The Strings Whispered, the Voices Summoned — “The Battle of Evermore” Rises Again as Page & Plant Join Forces with Najma Akhtar in a Spellbinding, Otherworldly Ritual. This wasn’t a performance. It was a prophecy. Jimmy Page’s mandolin carved through silence like silver through smoke, while Robert Plant’s voice — part warrior, part seer — conjured the end of empires. Then came Najma Akhtar — ethereal, terrifyingly beautiful — weaving ancient Eastern lament into Zeppelin’s mythos. The result? Transcendental. Time-stopping. Almost dangerous…
Jimmy was still playing the Telecasters that he played in the Yardbirds. He was looking for a Les Paul and asked if I knew of any, ’cause he couldn’t find one that he liked. And I had two. So l kept the one I liked the most and I flew with the other one. I laid it on him and said, ‘Try this out.’ He really liked it. So I gave him a really good deal.

No bright stage lights, no loud applause. Just George Harrison, sitting quietly with his acoustic guitar in a small studio in New York on July 24, 1997. He was struggling to find a song, not knowing that this moment would be his last public performance. Then, a voice from behind called out: All Things Must Pass. George turned, smiled gently, and began to sing. No more words were needed — the song, with all its emotions, became the final legacy he left for the world. In that quiet moment, no one knew that this was his final goodbye, the beautiful closing of a musical journey. And generations who loved The Beatles still carry that image in their hearts — that moment, full of emotion, love, and the lasting legacy of a legend. Don’t miss the heart-wrenching final performance ….
