Bit of Rush,showing your age now ozz,(he says,after listening to the Zep for the last two days..).

I've allways thought of Keith Moon as being possibly the best , due to his small scale kit he favoured, and the sound he produced, a sad loss as was Bonzo. Moon a nice bloke if a bit crazy, met him a couple of times when he partied at a friends house with Ollie Reed and Reed jnr.

Ahhhh....Kashmir!

Suddenly I'm 25 years younger, and very happy for seeing that.

One of the advantages of being a bald, lardy old git is that I got to see Led Zep live several times, and the Who, and Pink Floyd, early Genesis, Rush, Yes, Hawkwind etc...

People think of these bands as dinosaurs now and take the **** out of the arty farty lyrics and fairies at the bottom of my garden hippy-ness, and they've got a point...some of the second division wannabee bands of that era were cringeworthy.

But bands like Zeppelin at their best....Awesome

Missed out on Led zep, had the offer of tickets and i turned them down. AAAAArrrrrrrr

Jason Bonham is now a fab drummer as is Zak Starkey (Ringo's son).I was lucky enough to work for a certain member of that band and have heard both playing with the afore mentioned members,Simon Phillips is not bad either.

Bonzo was the best,but for sheer enthusiasm and showmanship,here is the master,in a drum off against Buddy Rich..

Yup without a doubt Keith was da man. Had the good fortune to go and see him in action with the Who many years ago, now gone the way of so many of his kind unfortunately.

...Animal!

I saw Zak Starkey perform in Ringo Starr's All Starr Band a few years back -he was pretty good. What a laugh that concert was, Nils Lofgren, Dave Edmunds, Todd Rundgren, Joe Walsh, Timmy Capello and who knows who else. Absolutely brilliant.
