I wrote a list of 23 things John Bonham did during the quiet part of “Stairway to Heaven” for BuzzFeed Music. It is ridiculous, and yet I believe an accurate portrait of the John Bonham gestalt. It does not include this astonishing performance of “Kashmir” but you get it here anyway.

I also wrote about “Teenage Kicks” by the Undertones for Cool Practice, my tumblr about music and coolness. Blueballs in music form.

Fantastic. Do you know where it’s from? Would love to see/hear it with better sound.
No idea! I kind of like the blown-out sound of that video, though…
Yeah, exactly. Wanting to hear it without the distortion was more a case of wanting to find out just how much of that effect of the guitar and organ seeping together in a mishmash happened somewhere between the stage and dailymotion, and how much was Page and Jones.
