Hands down my favorite rock drummer.

RIP Bonzo.

This tune really turned me on to how "musical" drumming could be.

of course, I've been playing Bonzo all day so that was no great mysterious coincidence.

Next up is Mobile, AL 5/13/73

I woulda' gone with Bonzo's Birthday Party from LA 5/31/73 but my copy of that isn't as good a recording as my Goin' Mobile...
