Keith Moon joining the group onstage during Moby Dick and the encores. Moon's assistant, Dougal Butler recalls the event:
"Led Zeppelin is in town to do a gig at the LA Forum. So, of course, nothing will do but we must go and visit them where they are staying, which is the Beverley Hilton. We arrive at about five o’clock in the afternoon, get a very big hello from the Zeppelin lads and commence to down a great number of bevvies for, when it comes to it, Zeppelin are not slouches in the matter of taking their medicine. Moreover, they have a great deal of readies to ensure that the supply is fairly constant and, by and large, of the Dom Perignon and Courvoisier class, to mention but the least exotic.
When it comes time to move on to the gig, we find ourselves in John Bonham’s rooms and it is Bonzo who suggests Moonie and I should nip along with him and watch the gig. Which is what we do. In their set, Zeppelin have a spot where John Bonham has a long solo which involves him and his massive drum kit rising up in the air via a hydraulic drum riser. And just as he is about to elevate, he calls on Moonie, who is watching from the side of the stage. Somewhat hesitantly, Moonie steps out and joins Bonzo and, suddenly, we have the spectacle of two of the heaviest and most exciting drummers in rock flailing about Bonzo’s kit like a pair of Bruce Lees on speed. Naturally the kids go crazy because they can see that it is none other than Moonie who joins Bonham. They carry on and holler as if Our Lord himself descends to bang about on the skins whilst singing My Way at the same time. Next thing, aboslutely everyone is standing up and then they begin to light up cigarette lighters and matches and wave them about until all that anyone can see from the stage is an undulating carpet of lights, thousands of pinpoints of fire all making up one big starburst. These kids give Moonie and Bonham a standing ovation that lasts five minutes and when Moonie comes off stage I can see he is quite affected by this vote of approval."
