Rumer - P.F. Sloan [Live At Rivoli Ballroom]
P.F. Sloan
Sloan co-wrote a series of hit songs with Steve Barri during the 1960's and early 1970's most notably Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction", "Unless You Care" by Terry Black and "Secret Agent Man" by Johnny Rivers. Sloan & Barri on several songs which became hits for The Grass Roots - "Where Were When I Needed You", "Let's Live For Today" and "Things I Should Have Said." In addition to songwriting, Sloan was also respected session player and was associated with The Wrecking Crew.
Given the events which have taken place in Paris, "Eve of Destruction" takes on a new meaning 50 years after it was written.

Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane
Late on the night of February 9, 1963, Carroll was working the
white-tie Spinster’s Ball when William Devereux “Billy” Zantzinger
arrived to the soiree already drunken and boisterous. The 24-year-old
Zantzinger was a scion of a wealthy Charles County tobacco-farming
family.
By all accounts, Zantzinger assaulted at least three workers at the
Emerson Hotel and the Eager House restaurant with a toy cane. At the
Spinster’s Ball, Zantzinger struck a 30-year-old waitress with the cane
and called her “nigger,” causing her to flee in tears.
Moments later, angry that Carroll did not serve his bourbon quickly
enough, Zantzinger struck her across the shoulder and head with his
cane, calling her “nigger” and “black son of a bitch.” Zantzinger then
attacked his then-wife, Jane, knocking her to the ground.

Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand (Live Knebworth 1979)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=66&v=YWOuzYvksRw
You can see the renewed sense in them. Almost a desperation to prove
they were still LED ZEPPELIN, BEST ROCK BAND EVER. And all the force
they could muster seemed to fully come together on this song. It has the
feel of a military campaign, and they are rolling along like a
steamroller.
