Don't be naive. Bonzo had took lessons from older and more experienced drummers for a 2 years. When he was 15 yrs of age. He mastered the jazz - blues & big orchestra drumming technique of Buddy Ritch and Max Roach, which you can hear in his Moby Dick solo. John Bohnam is a genius, but he drank a lot and talked shit. People only notice his hitting power but they don't hear the sophisticated technique of a superb, off-the-shelf super trained percussionist. If you look at recordings of LZ concerts from 1975 and further, you will see that his elbows are firmly pressed against his sides, his back is always school-straight, and that all the fine embroidery sounds of the great master, as well as the full force of the blow, he performs only from the joints of his hands and feet. At the same time he can tell jokes to John Paul Johns and play tight pocket rhythms like Kashmir, Achilles' last stand etc. etc. Bye.
@@mustafatanovic I'm quoting Bonzo himself, he never had lessons, he played by ear and his style was his own... do some research before you look stupid with the childish insults ..
When John did Moby Dick on stage, the rest of the band took a break, returning to the stage just in time for the finish of the cut. I believe there were 30,000 fans at the show I was lucky enough to attend. Each members' talent was brought to the forefront during the course of a performance, each one displaying a mastery of their contribution to the sound that was Led Zepplin. One of the greatest bands ever in Rock, on their own level. I believe the record count for albums sold is north of 300,000,000 to date, if memory serves.
There is something with his triplets...I think he has explored every possible variation of triplets, right hand doubles with single kick, while left hand is accenting polyrhythm. Two hands, single kick, double kick, one hand. Quadruplets with double kick, one hand... on and on. But what blows my face off is that IT GROOVES THE WHOLE TIME!!!
Bonzo came on stage to do a sound check and had a bang on the drums and then shouted "Who's been touching my drums ?" ... a nervous young guy put his hand up and Bonzo said ... Fantastic ... you are now my drum tech."
I've long had the opinion that Led Zeppelin's rhythm section, John Bonham and John Paul Jones, were the true core of what made the band great. Having a great guitarist and a generational vocalist was icing on the cake.
I agree. Great rhythm sections make bands great, a couple good examples are Van Halen and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Both great bands, with great rhythm sections.
No doubt a fantastic Rhythm Section. If you'll notice John Bonham will generally keep pace with Jimmy Page matching the two rhythms. And along with that Jonesy is making magic himself. ✌️
The best rhythm section I know is George Hurley and Mike Watt from the Minutemen. The only comparison is LZ's duo. If you have doubts or no clue...th-cam.com/video/ByiEnkXfDUw/w-d-xo.html Your welcome.
You have NO idea how jealous I am of anyone who got to see them live, especially back when they were new. I'm sure you enjoyed every second of that show ❤
There's a reason why one of his nicknames was "Beast." This is a masterpiece and a love letter to the art of drumming. RIP Bonzo, you are STILL missed 🖤🤟
in 1973 as a 17 year old I was sat on the stage at Newcastle City Hall watching zeppelin during their houses of the Holy tour ! bonhams drumming was like being pleasantly beaten up !
@@chantalpigeau7947 yeah, while he died young at the age of 32 it wasn't because if this performance. He probably choked after excessive vodka consumption in 1980
It is said he played this differently every time live, obviously within a framework, but the man was a machine. And others have said he and John Paul Jones were an awesome rhythm section and they're not wrong. Four of the best improvisational musicians ever to grace a stage. Great reaction , you've gained another sub
Wow , never saw this version before , incredible ,and just the stamina it took to play this , never mind the actual playing, I knew how great he was but this exceeded my expectations.
First time ever hearing this...completely blew my sh*t away! The sound of the kit and quality of the recording are sooooo good. And the performance is truly one for the ages.
Best drum solo ever IMO. The only drummer I've ever seen that can control each of his limbs separately AND change the pace of each limb independently - not called the Octopus for nothing!
Led Zeppelin was more or less a supergroup with four virtuosos who are all well known before they even formed led Zeppelin. There's a reason they were by far the number one rock band of the 1970s
The golden age of rock concerts where the front row was right up against the stage. Now there's five barriers between the band and the front row of people
He played huge drums, 26 inch bass drum, 16 and 18 inch floor toms plus he used huge ride cymbals as crash cymbals. It was all so that he could get the sound he wanted. If you've ever played big drums like that you know that to get that sound and especially get the bounce from the skins you have to hit them really hard. Thefact that he used a ludwig " speed king" POS Bass drum pedal, (that I can personally attest to) and do continuous triplets with it is absolutely incredible! BEST DRUMMER OF ALL TIME HANDS DOWN!!!
Grew up with these bands. It really shits me listening to most of the recent styles and artists that are considered 'good'. To those born after the nineties, you will never Know.
Zep played 5 legendaty nights at Earl's Court in 1975 ... we were at the last two nights ... on the Saturday we were front and centre 15 rows from the front ... on the Sunday we were on the wings of the stage 10 rows back looking down on John Paul Jones ... they played for 4 hours and 10 minutes on the Sunday ... best gigs ever.
He was the best! The key to Bonham is what he played on the bass drum and his SWING. Swing being the triplet feel he played in everything. He sounds like a runaway freight train rolling down the tracks. And his complete control of dynamics.
Master of "The Trips". Fast fast foot to get trips to fit the time signature. Check out his swing style on 'In Through The Out Door" album. The song name escapes me at the moment, I believe he uses brushes in the percussion part. Really showcases his versatility, and range of style. A truly exceptional talent!
This is why they could not go on as Led Zeppelin after John's death. No one could replace his contribution to the band. Changed Rock History in the dawn of Rock and Roll. We all try to emulate their spirit, absolute spiritual. Great reaction , stay strange, Green Jelly, Ugly Kid Joe, Jackyl. Tubes. Good luck.
My brother saw them in early 1969 when they were playing back up for Vanilla Fudge. Back then there was no assigned seating, it was all " festival seating " in, you sat or stood wherever you wanted. There were a couple of other back up bands playing before Led Zeppelin and everyone was just kind of wandering around waiting for Vanilla Fudge. My brother said when Zeppelin came on stage no one had heard of them so they didn't know what to expect. They opened with " Good times, bad times" and everyone IMMEDIATELY stopped moving and were just totally mesmerized, especially when John Bonham was playing multiple triplets on the bass drum with a single foot pedal well holding his hands above his head!
I am a Led Zep lover, every member of the band is indescribably awesome, saw them live when I was younger, at 80 years old I still love them. was wondering why you have not been doing reactions to their music, now I know, thanks
His most legendary Moby Dick solo is from their concert film "The Song Remains The Same".....from their 1973 concert in MSG.....that is likely the one people are talking about.
To all ya young friends, it was an English version of Mobi Dick as a movie and I still remember scenes of the chases. He probably created this solo watching as a kid that movie. The chase, the waiting, being still and finally see that monster and put that hook in the back of that whale. Nobody couldn’t do better than him. The final scene when the captain grab and climb on the back of the whale is perfectly presented by Jimmy’s guitar by the closing scene, but it’s not him who deserve to the Huts up, it’s John who created one of the best solo in the history.
I'm 62. Hearing your family story. Advice. Be the man. Think about what you need to do and how, to impact you family positive. Life is a journey. Learn, improve, enjoy.
I am so happy that request worked out. It was soooo obvious you needed to see that. I didn't expect to cry though. Hearing about you not having that LZ2 vinyl was like an entire sad movie and you have my sympathies on whatever the horrendous details are. Thanks for one of the best reactions to anything that I have seen. I feel like a true patron of the arts now.
I just really enjoyed your reaction. You are right on with what you heard! You have a gong behind you lol. Did you hear Bonham hit his gong behind him to his right!?
Miss the live spontaneous creativity that was at every concert I went to as a teenage drummer in the 70's. Big drums, big toms! Really, really miss it. Plus the volume.
Although Bonzo is my favorite rock drummer I also recommend you check out "The Toad" from Cream with Ginger Baker for the drum solo he does. It is also great and should not be missed.
It is so great to see films of this stuff now. Things like this were unavailable and unknown to folks living in the rural south eastern US during the seventies, where and when I grew up.
Great reaction. Thanks for this. I have put certain bands 'on hold' for decades due to the feelings and memories they bring. I am a drummer myself but not a big fan of drum solos. This for sure is one I love though. Rock on, bro.
I thinkmwhat sets John apart from the other god tier drummers is that Ian Paice has speed technical skills and precision, Bill Ward has Power and Speed and Keith Moon has Power and Speed, John had got the lot, technical skills ,precision, timing, speed, creativity and oh so much power
i heard his song live at a California concert. Moby Dick is not improvised, in the show I saw Johns' rendition of Moby Dick sounded the same, note for note, or strike for strike. One of a handful of drummers who could play poly-rythmic pieces with astounding mastery of his craft. To say Led Zepplin was THE iconic rock band of the century sounds bold, but is, in fact an understatement. All that incredible, soulful, music the band played ..... There was nothing like their sound, powerful, raw, almost primal in the musics' emotional impact. This band, four guys, changed the course and scope of rock and roll, influencing countless other rock artists historicly, starting with their very 1st album. The first experience I had listening to Led Zepplin I actually left me speechless for several moments. I was simply blown away ..... It was the greatest music I had ever experienced. It touched something deep inside me, something instinctual, and it was absolutely exhilarating! So sad when John Bonham left the world. The band was no more, members of the band knowing John could never be replaced. That was/is true, the powerful use of his kit, his style, was/is unique and was a cornerstone of the music these men created. The sound as powerful and moving today as it was 55 years ago. Timeless music.
Great reaction to Moby Dick. The drum solo started years before Led Zeppelin. He would come home from work and play it for his wife Pat. He called it " Pat's Delight" it was changed to Moby dick when Zeppelin saw how big it was.
"I Never had drum lessons, I just played the way I wanted, and got black-listed in Birmingham ....." John Bonham 6/21/1975
Thank God he never had a Drum Lesson, lmao ... with lesson, DRUM changed name to BONHAM TOY

This is the reason he’s voted best rock drummer ever to play a set of drums. Rip you were and are missed.
Kinda the way he smashed those drums..love love
I love how Robert Plant makes a point of disappearing from the limelight to let others in the band do their work. Classy guy.

And Bonham was 22 years old at this time.. amazing and he was a farmer , can you believe it
And a stone mason.
Both he and Bob were builders, when Jimmy called.
He was actually still 21 during this January 9th show. Would turn 22, 5 months later as you know on May 31st.

Each to their own but Page is the core of the band, if you don't realise that then I will labour the point no longer.
The best rhythm section I know is George Hurley and Mike Watt from the Minutemen. The only comparison is LZ's duo. If you have doubts or no clue...th-cam.com/video/ByiEnkXfDUw/w-d-xo.html
Your welcome.
Jones played the piano parts as well. So melodic; guy had serious talent.
GREATEST ROCK DRUMMER IN HISTORY!
This man was as good as it gets. A true master of his craft!
I had the privilege of seeing this live at the Bath Festival still in awe of Bonham missed but not forgotten. It will live with me forever.
You have NO idea how jealous I am of anyone who got to see them live, especially back when they were new. I'm sure you enjoyed every second of that show ❤
You are one lucky person. Such a legendary show. I was in Michigan and only 3. So great to know you were there.
I am jealous
One of the great drum solos in any genre
The best EVER! No solo can top this.
@@stevenmonte7397agreed! The best
I'm exhausted watching this. Each time I've watched over the years. Unbelievable talent..
The percussion king himself 😁
There's a reason why one of his nicknames was "Beast." This is a masterpiece and a love letter to the art of drumming. RIP Bonzo, you are STILL missed 🖤🤟
The hammer of the gods.
I'M 75. Saw him do this live.Freaking awesome.
I'm 76 and saw LZ live; Bonham set the place on fire.
You lucky guy!!!
Man. That would be a dream come true. I've seen Page and plant but on different stages in the 80s. Bonham died the day I was going to go buy tickets 😢
in 1973 as a 17 year old I was sat on the stage at Newcastle City Hall watching zeppelin during their houses of the Holy tour ! bonhams drumming was like being pleasantly beaten up !
And he was just like 20/21 years old and already one of the greatest drummers of all time
I am 73 years old. I’ve been addicted to Led Zeppelin since I’m 18 best rock ‘n’ roll band in the world John Bonham best drummer there ever was. 9:00
#1 drummer of all time
Bonzo was PARTICULARLY renowned for his hand drumming. The man was a complete BEAST. #RipGOAT
Dude, your jaw was dropped the whole time😎
He was 21 when he played that show.
Scary good.
20 year old Bohnam going to town and twelve years laters walked off the stage leaving people amazed at we he did for the drums,Thee best ever.
The GOAT at work
No double kick pedals then. Just the fastest foot known to man.
Faster than Bill Superfoot Wallace. LOL!
yub they didnt come along till 1980
+
the stunned look on your face says it all :)
Man, how on earth did his arms and legs not fall off after this performance, and how did he survive this ??? I mean really, in-cr-di-ble !!!!!!!
He used to be a bricklayer!
He didn't, he died young....it was bigger then him
@@chantalpigeau7947 yeah, while he died young at the age of 32 it wasn't because if this performance. He probably choked after excessive vodka consumption in 1980

No one did drums like this til Bonham came along, period. So every drummer since and currently, you're welcome.
"His rhythm's have rhythm's" nice comment and true
The golden age of rock concerts where the front row was right up against the stage. Now there's five barriers between the band and the front row of people
And in smaller venues you'd be sitting on the floor right in front of the band.
When I saw them in 1977, the song was played fairly early. His solo lasted 25 minutes.
One of the best drummers of all time
Zeppelin takes you on a journey but always brings you back in the end.
He played huge drums, 26 inch bass drum, 16 and 18 inch floor toms plus he used huge ride cymbals as crash cymbals. It was all so that he could get the sound he wanted.

The sound of that kit is so good , THE SNARE WOW.
Just love this solo shows how talented John was
I grew up in the 60s and 70s and I still get chills when I watch this drum solo best ever John Henry Bonham🎉
1972 riding in the back of my big brothers 68 Camaro at 12 years old smoking weed listening to this on 8 track.....Yep child of the 70s.....
I have difficulty believing this is the first time a drummer has listened to Moby Dick.
He’s a lot younger than us generations apart getting familiar whereas we know it by heart
Perhaps, but still surprising
Moby Dick is one of my favorite songs by Led Zeppelin
Saw John Bonham do this in 1971 at the Nassau Coliseum on LI.
45 min solo , loud and mind blowing.
Saw him perform this in 70, second row middle seats and fucked up on psilocybin.. what a show!
Grew up with these bands. It really shits me listening to most of the recent styles and artists that are considered 'good'. To those born after the nineties, you will never Know.
The stuff of which legends are born. I was 14 when this was filmed
John beat the drums like they owed him money!
Best line I've heard about a performer.

I was 10 when I saw them in 1972 (Philly/Spectrum). Moby Dick is what really stands out, in my memory.
Just awesome!
Bonzo inspired the double kick by being faster than anyone could be on the single kick

Considered the greatest, they called him the beast.

There was always a drum solo in all rock shows in the 70’s and early 80’s. Nothing quite like this but they were always part of the show.
Totally artistic totally brilliant
Love that band. ROCK ON!
What a beautiful man he was. greatest drummer ever!
It makes my muscles hurt all over just watching lol

Saw it live in 75 at The Spectrum in Philly. Also you have my favorite Frank Frazetta painting poster behind you
2 GOATS, Bonham and Frazetta.
It all goes back to Buddy Rich. A man who kept drumming while he was having a heart attack.
best drummer ever.

OK! I had no Idea what was happening when I was listening to this on vinyl, played on a RadioShack "record player".
Also this: "Drop of the hat", "Drop a dime" and "Stop on a dime"

Great reaction to Moby Dick. The drum solo started years before Led Zeppelin. He would come home from work and play it for his wife Pat. He called it " Pat's Delight" it was changed to Moby dick when Zeppelin saw how big it was.
I heard it was changed to Moby Dick, because his son Jason called it that, wanting his dad to play the big song.
I had tickets to the the show. Bonham died and they canceled show. I still think of how awesome it would've been. Detroit
