Bonham and Harrison

I got a kick out of this story from Bob Dearborn's The Olde Disc Jockey's Almanac from 40 years ago today...

May 31, 1973…At the band's show in Los Angeles, Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham celebrated his 25th birthday with a Robert Plant-led audience singalong of "Happy Birthday," and afterward at a hotel he caroused with friend George Harrison, who playfully threw a birthday cake at Bonham. He retaliated by pushing George into the hotel pool.

Hadn't heard that one before. Enjoy Bonham on the drums below...
