I think I've heard that one -- Mooney was definitely past his prime by then.
I'm talking about the acrobatic-symphonic-polyrhythmic stuff he was doing up until circa "Quadrophenia."
Bonham stomped like a herd of dinosaurs, had impeccable timing, etc. but Moon danced all over his kit like the world's greatest jazz drummer genetically spliced with the world's greatest surf drummer, "on speed!"

for having what sounds like the coolest mother in rock history:
"John Gibb describes Page’s house: "In most homes, the front room is usually a family room, but Pagey’s parents had turned it over to Jimmy. There were records everywhere, a tape recorder, a couple of amps and guitars and other instruments. Plus a really good hi-fi system. Jimmy’s mum usually stayed in the kitchen brewing tea for everybody."
Jimmy’s mum on the music: "...the jam sessions forced Jim’s father and myself to develop an opinion about so-called heavy rock music. I found that I have a thing for it myself. I adore it. You had to shut your mind to everything else and just get into it. So you either loved it or loathed it. I really took to it."

Exhibit J.4:
For not covering Robert Johnson's "Come On In My Kitchen" OR "32/20 Blues" even though they coulda played it live in 1969 and therby causing undue drenching to alla undies of every lady in the room...and here I'm thinking FIllmore West, April 29, 1969 with extensive Echoplex on Pagey's psychedelic painted Telecaster that Jeff "Tufnel" Beck gave him back in the Yardbirds daze...
Kick ass!

D modal detuning going on. And the resultant headfucking beauty that is 'White Summer'. Jimmy Page's playing used to scare me as a kid, he was somewhere 'else'. Still does! HAha!
