Cigarette, cigar and beer, Bonham winds down

Whether it was the childhood memories of Jacko’s boat, or the fact that The Old Hyde was only five miles from Stourport-on-Severn, in April he took delivery of The Staysea, a 34-feet sea-going cabin cruiser that was to be moored in Stourport. After a couple of days of cleaning and getting the boat spotless, John decided that a cruise down the river was in order. Large quantities of food and Newcastle Brown Ale were stowed away and John, Mathew and I set off down the river to Worcester. With memories of Jerome K Jerome’s famous tale of ‘Three Men in a Boat’ running riot in my head we approached the first lock on the river. Unfortunately for us, any further thoughts of the tales of the nineteenth century author were curtailed because the lock keeper disputed ownership of the boat and wouldn’t let us through. In the end we had to make do with a cruise up and down a three-mile stretch of the river until all the provisions had been disposed of.

That short break well and truly over, John returned to the studio in May and began an eighth American tour in June. A second tour of Japan, the Tokyo Hilton notwithstanding, followed in October, and then two quick shows in Montreaux before a triumphant Led Zeppelin returned to undertake their largest ever tour of Britain. Eighteen different venues and 120,000 tickets would sell out in one day.
