Coda is an album by Led Zeppelin , released in 1982 (see 1982 In Music ).

This album of out-takes from various sessions during Led Zeppelin's twelve-year career was released two years after the death of Drummer John Bonham .

"We're Gonna Groove" opens the album and, according to the album notes, was recorded at Morgan Studios in September, 1970. It was later acknowledged to have come from a January, 1970 concert at the Royal Albert Hall , with the guitar parts overdubbed in places. "Poor Tom" is from sessions for '' Led Zeppelin III ''. "I Can't Quit You Baby" is taken from the same concert as "We're Gonna Groove" but was listed as a rehearsal in the original liner notes. "Walter's Walk" is from the 1972 '' Houses Of The Holy '' sessions, although debate remains as to chronological origin of the vocal performance by Robert Plant (which may have been recorded or overdubbed at a later date).

"Ozone Baby", "Darlene", and "Wearing and Tearing" are outtakes from the '' In Through The Out Door '' sessions in 1978. "Bonzo's Montreux" is a 1976 John Bonham drum instrumental with electronic effects added by Jimmy Page. This song would later be combined with Bonham's Moby Dick Drum Solo for inclusion on the 1990 Led Zeppelin Boxed Set .
