It was Band Of Joy with Bonzo on drums.

BTW:  A friend of mine tried to tell me recently that WLL riff is ripped
off Hey Joe...
Bullshit.  He's a huge Deep Purple freak and was telling me that he read an
interview with Ritchie Blackmore, who said he knew Bonzo - they used to
drink together. One night Bonzo told Ritchie something about Purple ripping
off something and then Ritch started to mention Zep songs which were in his
opinion rip-offs... Blackmore told that it made Bonzo sad.
Well, people, has anybody heard Black Night by Deep Purple? Isn't the main
riff suspiciously similar to How Many More Times riff??? Ha!
BTW: Has anybody noticed that one part in Plant's Little By Little sounds
like some part of Fool For Your Loving by Whitesnake? Coverdale's piece is
older...
