It seems to me some of the people in the room with "John Bonham" are wearing the same clothes they had on when they entered with Ringo & Paul but that could be merely coincidental. I still suspect the "John Bonham" segment is 6/21/76 but I'm keeping an open mind.

Jul 7, 2016 · What would have been both hilarious and amazing is if Bonham embraced the poll, called Karen, and had her sit in on a pre-rehearsed Moby Dick with the two of them trading licks.

Jun 20, 2018 · Well they end up making 1 more album, and then doing a small tour of Europe; before heading off to America. Well the last time Zeppelin was preparing for the American tour, John Bonham kinda freaks out while drunk saying "He doesn't want to do this anymore, I want to sing, I am not that good of a drummer now."
