Ps: How Bout Max Wahl Or Max Wall In Osaka Robert said "On Drums Max
Wahl Moby Dick,John Bonham?

As others have pointed out, Ray Thomas was Jimmy's guitar tech.
As for Osaka 9/29/71, I've always heard it as "Max Ward". Bonzo is grousing
about not wanting to play Moby Dick, throwing names at Robert. Bonzo says
"Max Ward" and then Robert announces him by that name. The only Max Ward
I've ever heard of was a famous Canadian bush pilot and entrepreneur who
founded Wardair, a now-defunct Canadian airline. Can't imagine what
relevance this had to Bonzo at the time, and I bet there wasn't a single
audience member that night who knew what the hell they were talking about.
That's one of the most hilarious boots out there. . . "After three,
everybody say 'Mistah Bonham'! One, two, three. . ."
