I also saw Zep at MSG in 1977. 10th row or thereabouts. They were firing on all cylinders that night.
RIP John Bonham
Remembering John Bonham today on the 37th anniversary of his passing. I'm posting this since there is a current discussion about him in the Forum.

He and Buddy Rich were my main influences as a drummer.

It’s too bad that Bonham didn’t live long enough to perform post-Led Zeppelin. It would have been interesting to know if there was another side to his signature style; I would hope he would not have used his 26" kick drum (a major influence on Led Zep's sound). As for side projects, he was still playing LZ beats, including some unnecessary bass triplets... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJZ9llTB-vg This should interest Bonzo fans; I always suspected he learned some licks from Carmine Appice... http://www.johnbonhamdrums.com/ |
@shadorne , I had Carmine's book. It was my favorite and Carmine's beats and fills were awesome. I don't play anymore, but I kept my practice pad, many sticks, and books by Carmine and Buddy Rich, (I'm told Buddy didn't write his). Carmine's double-kick was fantastic, so rhythmic. And then came Bonzo with his one 26 inch. |
