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!"
