This one's incomplete but the tribute performances are here:

Great rendition of Stairway to Heaven at the end:

"John had been playing drums since he was five . . ."

From Wikipedia:

[John] began learning to play drums at the age of five, making a drum kit out of containers and coffee tins, imitating his idols Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich. His mother gave him a snare drum at the age of ten. He received his first proper drum kit from his father at fifteen, a Premier Percussion set. Bonham never took any formal drum lessons, though as a teen he would get advice from other drummers [from the town of Redditch.]
