So what?
He's still just a person, & people make little mistakes.
There are probably thousands of other things like that, throughout the entire Zep catalog.
We just don't hear them because of all the other music happening around them.
I experienced this same phenomenon yesterday.
Time was wasted debating whether the drum track was "good enough", due to a couple of minor (but, real) time discrepencies "within the same bar".
Well, it was decided to just get a move on, & after the track took shape a little bit, everyone had to think for a minute..."Hey, where
was that section, again?"
Because we didn't hear it the same way anymore.
When we solo the drums we'll still hear it, though.
But, that's the point, we're hearing Bonzo out of context, in a way that we usually don't.
So, of course, you're gonna hear little fuck-ups, the cat's naked out there.
But, again, so what?
Personally, I love hearing these things, 'cuz it gives you great perspective on the humanity of a "Rock God".
A little reminder that, at the core of it all, he was just a guy who played drums, you know?
He made little fuck-ups, too...I LOVE that.
And it's Bonzo, & it's awesome!
It's not like Zep was afraid to leave the fuck-ups in, anyway.
The
totally blown drum fill somewhere in "Sick Again" comes to mind, on Physical Graffitti.
Check it out, kids, Bonzo
choking...but they kept it anyway.
I mean, they didn't even bother with a little edit, you know?
Zeppelin Ruled!

Um...o.k.

Just relax, hotbuck, I did read your post & no one's lecturing anyone.
To my ears, despite the "messy sonics", it's
clearly the sound of Bonzo's kit...& Bonzo.
That's all.
Just enjoy them for what they are, which is a cool Zeppelin outtake thing, as opposed to what they are not.

Well, I'm glad we can agree on something.
