Bonzo's Montreux
1982 instrumental by Led Zeppelin
"Bonzo's Montreux" is a drum solo by Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. It was recorded in September 1976 at Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland, with electronic effects added by Jimmy Page.[1] Page used the then-new Eventide Harmonizer to create a steel drum sound, which Bonham apparently liked; the final "gliss-phrases" were developed during mixing with the Harmonizer's keyboard controller.[2][3] The track was released on the 1982 compilation album, Coda.[4]
"Bonzo's Montreux" was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts, however, Bonham performed parts of the composition during "Moby Dick" in 1977.[1]
