You might want to check out the past Kennedy Center honors broadcasts.
The have showcased many wonderful artists over the last few years.

This last December, it was Led Zep.

There are a few notable reprises of their past hits, done by a few very notable current artists.

If you look closely, there are some amazing shots of Zep voicing their parts wide-eyed as their songs are covered. Wondering what their covers might find in their old parts.

It is wonderful.

Track through to about halfway.....the tribute to Letterman is meaningless.
Although the interview the next night was interesting.

December's K awards.

Of course, it's Bonham's son doing drums.

Buddy Holly music was one of my favourite listenisings to way back then.

This is Buddy's "That'll be the Day" from 1955

" She was only sixteen" by Craig Douglass and the UK number 1 between 11 september and 9th October 1959. Again favourite of mine.

I have this for Windows. I managed to get all the way through it a few years ago. Something like 40 levels.

Then there's Zaxxon from 1984 and Koronis Rift from 1985, Zaxxon was good, Koronis Rift was much better & hard as hell after a point...

Koronis Rift

Objective... Looting ancient star ships...

The enemy trying to stop one from looting, totally automated and abandoned in place...

I remember hearing about them and about the Heathkit Computers, but that's it.

I actually built a Sinclair ZX81 kit. It never worked, but my high school electronics teacher still gave me an A for it.
