[Bonzo]

Also compare it to this photo from the same show.  The uncompromisingly precise power he played with is immediately identifiable, just as his feel is.  He was an incredible, nearly incomparable talent.  Very few musicians legitimately change the world of music, and even fewer do it without being a songwriter.  Bonham did it from behind the kit in a band comprised of three immense talents, and because of that he is in a very elite group of musicians.

This has been my favorite picture of Bonham for a very long time.  When I look at this picture I can just feel the groove.  It's in his expression and his body language.  I can hear all the small embellishments and nuances that made him the greatest drummer of all time.

At least people looked cool unlike todays short back and sides hair,beard, hipster look, they just look like right twats.

[Remembering John Bonham.]

I'm sure you've all heard it before and it's probably been posted in this thread, but the isolated drum track for Whole Lotta Love is incredible.

Hearing Bonham start yelling around the 3:40 mark is amazing. I'd never noticed while listening to the album, but it's clear as day now that I know what to listen for.

[What is your favorite ending to a Zeppelin song?]

My mind first jumped to two songs: Bonham going wild on the kick to end Good Time Bad Times, and the swinging roar of the whole band in Out on the Tiles.

As far as songs go that don't fade, maybe Immigrant Song's dead stop after two and half minutes of fury, or the sweet, sweet release of The Ocean. Robert's "so good" to end The Ocean from 7/29/73 at the Garden is unreal.
