The courtrooms collective attention was piqued when former frontman Plant, 67, was called up to be questioned.
Most of Plants testimony detailed his time at music venue and bar Mothers Club in Birmingham, U.K.
The night Spirit played in Birmingham, Plant and his wife were in a serious car accident.
I dont have a recollection of almost anybody Ive hung out with, he said.
The musical process galloped from there, Plant said.
Plant got a little defensive during cross-examination by Skidmores attorney Francis Malofiy.
(A direct question about lifting work from other artists was previously stricken from the record.)
I dont find that a problem; I hear you going on about it a lot, Plant replied.
The trial is expected to wrap up Wednesday.
