Buddy Rich the human Gatling gun of drummers. Always a must see on Johnny Carson. Looking back I didn’t realize how good we had it. My favorite drummer of all time.

Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1 Prelude… played on a flat-top acoustic guitar with hybrid picking.
This is pure magic. So delicate, so precise, and so full of emotion. The fact that it was written for cello and sounds this good on steel strings is wild.
Heart, the band that has the best covers of Led Zeppelin, covering 'Black Dog' live at Alive in Seattle, in 2003.
Here's a little bit information about this incredible song of Led Zeppelin.
“It was tricky to play,” Jimmy Page once said of “Black Dog,” foreshadowing the frustration of so many classic-rock bar bands.
The song opens Led Zeppelin’s untitled fourth LP with a hard-rock whiplash, constructed around a knotty, deceptively complex riff written by bassist John Paul Jones. It remains one of the band’s signature cuts, a true showcase for each member — but it took a Herculean effort to piece together that puzzle.
“I wanted to try an electric blues with a rolling bass part. But it couldn’t be too simple,” Jones later recalled to journalist and filmmaker Cameron Crowe. “I wanted it to turn back on itself. I showed it to the guys, and we fell into it.” But the shifting time signatures were tough to pin down — especially, as Page told SiriusXM in 2014, “the bit where it goes into sort of triplets in one part and overlaps.”
Drummer John Bonham had the toughest job: figuring out how to lay down a solid groove amid such musical trickery. “We struggled with the turnaround,” Jones added, “until Bonham figured out that you just four-time as if there’s no turnaround. That was the secret.”
