Bonzo's Montreux - Remaster

This song is a John Bonham drum orchestration. Jimmy Page helped Bonham process the drums to make it much more interesting than a standard drum solo.

Montreaux is a town in Switzerland where this was recorded. They host a jazz festival every year, which Zeppelin played in 1970. Deep Purple's "Smoke On The Water" is about a concert in Montreaux.

Recorded in 1976, this was eventually released on Coda, a collection of unreleased tracks put out after Bonham's death. The closest thing we have to a requiem for one of rock's most legendary drummers, this song clocks in at a brief four minutes and nineteen seconds. Coda was technically an album of contractual fulfillment for Atlantic records.
