Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick

"Moby Dick" is an instrumental track by Led Zeppelin from their 1969 album Led Zeppelin II. The song is best known for its powerful and lengthy drum solo by drummer John Bonham, showcasing his extraordinary skill, precision, and endurance. It begins with a heavy blues-inspired guitar riff by Jimmy Page, which quickly gives way to Bonham’s solo performance that dominates the rest of the track. During live concerts, "Moby Dick" would often extend for over 20 minutes, with Bonham sometimes playing parts of it with his bare hands. The track is a testament to Bonham’s legendary status as one of rock's greatest drummers and stands out as a unique piece in Led Zeppelin’s catalog for its focus on percussion and absence of vocals.
