    oh, didn't know that date exactly (only the year 1980) although I am a big fan.
    RIP John Henry
    37 and (hopefully) counting ...

    I had tickets to see Led Zeppelin in Cleveland when Bonham died. It was devastating to hear this news. I wish I could have seen them live but sadly one of the few I never did see live. Long Live JHB!!!

    RIP The Beast. My favorite drummer. Greatest rock drummer of all time. You are dearly missed.

    Here's a tribute I made a couple years ago when I was stuck inside on a snow day.

    Holy shit that is awesome! It's great to just hear the drum track. That's one of his best songs.

    Yeah its amazing! you can hear all the subtleties in his playing, great to hear it. There's a good bit of stuff floating around from the In Through The Out Door sessions, just drum tracks and outtakes. Well worth tracking down.

    All it takes is one stupid decision to destroy years of talent.

    frustratingly sad

    I had just sen't my mail in order for tickets for the scheduled Buffalo show and when we got in the car at the post office the news came over the radio about hi's death we immediatly ran back in and recovered our envelopes to get out money orders back , we were crushed but i was lucky enough to have seen Led Zeppelin twice in 75 & 77 best rock shows ever ....
