CLOSE THE DOOR
PUT OUT THE LIGHT
YOU KNOW THEY
WON'T BE HOME TONIGHT
Keith Moon joining the group onstage
during Moby Dick and the encores.
Moon's assistant,
Dougal Butler
recalls the event:
"Led Zeppelin is in town
to do a gig at the LA Forum.
So, of course, nothing will do
but we must go and visit them
where they are staying,
which is the Beverly Hilton.
We arrive at about five o’clock
in the afternoon,
get a very big hello
from the Zeppelin lads
and commence to down
a great number of bevvies for,
when it comes to it,
Zeppelin are not slouches
in the matter of taking
their medicine.
Moreover, they have a
great deal of readies to
ensure that the supply
is fairly constant and,
by and large,
of the Dom Perignon
and Courvoisier class,
to mention but
the least exotic.
When it comes time to
move on to the gig,
we find ourselves in
John Bonham’s rooms
and it is Bonzo
who suggests
Moonie and I
should nip along with him
and watch the gig.
Which is what we do.
In their set,
Zeppelin have a spot where
John Bonham has
a long solo which
involves him
and his massive drum kit
rising up in the air
via a hydraulic drum riser.
And just as he is
about to elevate,
he calls on Moonie,
who is watching from
the side of the stage.
Somewhat hesitantly,
Moonie steps out
and joins Bonzo and,
suddenly,
we have the spectacle of
two of the heaviest
and most exciting
drummers in rock
flailing about Bonzo’s kit
like a pair of
Bruce Lee's on speed.
Naturally the kids go crazy
because they can see that
it is none other than
Moonie who joins Bonham.
They carry on and holler
as if Our Lord himself
descends to bang about
on the skins whilst
singing My Way
at the same time.
Next thing,
absolutely everyone is
standing up
and then they begin
to light up cigarette lighters
and matches and
wave them about until
all that anyone can see
from the stage is an
undulating carpet of lights,
thousands of pinpoints of fire
all making up one big starburst.
These kids give
Moonie and Bonham
a standing ovation
that lasts five minutes
and when Moonie
comes off stage
I can see he is quite affected
by this vote of approval."
