No. HTWWW is the best overall live album. But there's lots of great live albums with great drumming. Bonham is still the best of the best. Listen to the first couple of minutes of this. My God, he sounds like a blitzkrieg of tanks taking a front line.

I don't expect you to love it but did you listen to this? I think Paal Nilssen-Love blows Bonham out of the water (still think Bonham is the best part of Zeppelin though).

Jesus, listen to Bonham on this. Dude was an absolute beast of a drummer.

Yeah I'm sure sitting through a two hour drum solo at a twelve hour concert must have been fantastic, but bloated dad rock can't **** with this brutality...

Oh ****, I love Wrecking Everything, but I always forget that Wrecking Your Neck also exists. Not quite as beefy a sound, but possibly still better, and it def has the better tracklist. The performances are pretty much identically great though, which is pretty amazing when you consider they were made 8 years apart.

And mega hella props or actually making it so you can hear the crowd. So many live albums just silence them almost completely, and if they have the crowd participate it just ends up sounding awkward and ****ty. But on this album it just makes the energy feel that much more intense.

Maybe in Rock circles, but of all drummer? if we were on Jeopardy the correct answer would be:
Who is Elvin Jones?

This isn't the best audio quality, the volume is kinda low. I've seen this video taken down from YT a couple of times, it's like YouTube is at war with Coltrane fans. I say this with 99.99% confidence it is an objective statement: This one of the best of the best live performances.

Billy Cobham, Lenny White, Steve Gadd, Dave Weckl, Jeff Porcaro, Terry Bozzio..... so many greats I could go on and on.

How about Jeff Sipe?
