John Bonham - the walk

Everybody has seen vids of Zepplin or seen them live back in the day. I have read many times how Bonham was a brick layer, a mason by trade. Watching him walk out to the drums was astounding to me. I don't remember him twirling his sticks like that either, but the walk. It is no wonder he could kill a drum set. And yet he has a lot of finesse at times. Quite a player.

The brick layer in action. Some real Bonhamisms at the beginning of this.

The one time I saw them live was at the Yale Bowl in New Haven CT. Green sparkle 5 pc. Maybe I sat too far back because I don't remember Bonham being so ferocious.

Yes Sir!!

What can you say?? Bonham...Thunder of the Gods.

Caught the band in '77, age 16, with my brother at the old Chicago Stadium. Show canceled after 4 songs; Page too ripped.

Fantastic BBC radio documentary about Bonham:
