Just to add, the reason they didn't get together more often was Robert Plant, who point blank refused to not for any amount of money and they were offered mega money. Losing his best friend ended him, but before that he had lost his five year old son in 77 , there was a lot of tragedy for him and his family. That concert in 2007 was at the O2 arena capacity 22,000, ticket applications were over 20 million ! Watch the whole Celebration Day concert it's amazing
Insane performance...bomb reaction....oh and JPJ works the bass foot pedals on the keys cuz why not and yes it is Jason Bonzo Jr killing the drums and spanking his dad's gong
Spot on Julie, he played church organ when he was younger too as far as I remember, and playing “bass” with your feet is a major component of mastering that art. John Paul Jones is a multi instrumentalist in its truest sense. He took a lot of load of Jimmy Pages back in the studio too, both of them having that deep understanding of how to arrange and perform a song on a recording and then transplanting it to a live setting. A lot of us consider him the secret sauce in the band. Cheers 🍺
The thing for me with JPJ is, that every piece of the band is great on it's own, but he is the one that holds it all together, if you want to say so.@@stefanconradsson And you can totally hear that when you listen to the performances Plant and Page did without him. There is a key piece missing.
@@ShawnSalvadori Maybe because it's a window into the world of aging and realizing that old folks should never be discounted (not that you ever did).😂Your clear appreciation of this performance just caused me to sub.😊
After LZ disbanded, this was their one and only reunion concert as a band with Jason stepping in on drums. He did a fabulous job, as you can hear. The entire concert is worth a watch. They were on 🔥even nearly 30 years after disbanding.
While it wasn't a full concert, the surviving members of LZ performed with Jason Bonham at the 1988 Atlantic Records concert, as well as performing at Jason Bonham's wedding.
Sadly, but in 1980 Led Zeppelin did disband when Bonzo died. The band could not continue, There was only ONE John Bonham.. The chemistry amongst the original 4 could not be replaced. From the beginning, they were masters of improv. They didn't like playing a song the same way.. On stage, they would take many of their songs and in totally different directions.. Taking some 5-min. songs and stretch them out to sometimes 30 mins. And the song would come out as if it was written and rehearsed. The band instincts were off the charts. As good as Jason (his son) is. He could not replace his father. nor any other drummer could.. R.I.P. Bonzo
First time I saw that performance 4+ years ago I was absolutely mesmerized. I watched 10+ times in a row. I’ve watched literally over 200 times since probable at least once every few days. It’s a phenomenal performance and delivery
I am amazed at how well Plant has maintained his singing voice as he has gotten older. I saw a recording recently where he was singing in a blues jam session, he was singing a Muddy Waters song and it was really good. I think I like his older singing voice the best, seems more soulful.
Now as someone who has been listening to Zeppelin for over 50 years, and Kashmir is my favorite song. At the time of this show they'd been apart for 26, 27, years. With a couple of exceptions, they hadn't played together for a full set. This song is 30+ years old at the time. With Jason on his dad's drum kit they nail this song. John Paul played the mellotron on the album, Physical Graffiti, which he plays the keyboard parts with his hands and the bass, and other instruments with his feet. Here he's got a couple of keyboards, one being a synthesizer I believe where he gets all those other fans.
Really impressive what they did here. Eventually I need to watch something where JPJ shows how he plays the bass and keys at the same time because that's just crazy
Jason Bonham has encyclopedic knowledge of every LZ song. JP Jones said in interview when they would be a bit hazy on the details of any particular song he would explain in minute detail.
Yes, that is definitely true. It is well known that Jimmy Page has acquired most, if not all, the illegal bootlegs on the market, and has listened to them. But Jason is also a true connoisseur of live Zeppelin recordings. During rehearsals for this concert, he asked Jimmy and company whether they wanted him to play according to the Seattle 75 version of No Quarter or what ever it was. They all laughed at him and thought it was great that he had that kind of detailed knowledge. Cheers 🍺
6:40. . . How many young singers of today's era could even *HIT* that note. . . Let alone *HOLD IT* . . . perfectly. . . *_FOR THAT LONG?_* . With THAT amount of STRENGTH and purity. . None, I would say. . . Robert Plant was in his 60's at the time of this recording!!!
Well…… They could not continue as Zeppelin without Bonzo. Jimmy Page did form the band The Firm..,released two albums…then a solo album, then an album with David Coverdale from Whitesnake and Deep Purple (which is very good indeed) in early 90’s….the reunited with Plant for five years or so and toured the old Zeppelin songs, but changed up to more acoustic and Eastern sounding with an Egyptian orchestra……REALLY good! Then Jimmy toured briefly with The Black Crowes….then moved into remastering the Zeppelin albums. After this 2007 concert, he basically retired from live playing…..a great loss I think. He never found others he wanted to play with. He was always looking for another Robert and never did …..not after Coverdale. Robert went on to have a successful solo career, which he is still doing. Many iterations, many bands that he formed, several collaborations. It’s sad Zeppelin died along with Bonzo…..but, quite honestly…..that probably saved Jimmy’s life. He was so strung out by then……and went so down after Bonzo’s death for a couple of years. It’s kind of a miracle he made it through.
This not the "Stones" in their 60s. Stones band sucks. LedZ are artists and better at their age. Plant and Page shine, as well as Jason on the "Skins". Oh yeh the best bass, key board. Under rated John Paul Jones. Fuck me what a rock band.
If I am recalling the timeline correctly I think Bonham's death was just the final straw. Bonham was drinking heavily and homesick, Jimmy's heroin addiction, Plant's loss of his son.....I think it would have happened anyway imo.
Yes it was his son on drums! Kicked ass like his dad!
Yes he did!

JPJ plays bass with his feet while on the keys!! The Song Remains The Same/The Rain Song at msg 1973 is an absolute MUST!!

If I'm right he started on a church organ. @@stefanconradsson

Now you know why they are considered the GOATs...great reaction.
Happy I checked this one out 🤘
Jason Bonham did his daddy proud! They were in their 60s and they are STILL the greatest!! Yes that is the concert! 2007 this was!
I think I would enjoy the whole set of this concert. Seeing them at this stage in their lives some how had a big impression on me

Really nice reaction to the best version of Kashmir
Love, Love this!! ❤❤❤❤

@@tektoniks_architects And Live Aid 1985.
@@tektoniks_architects Well, and live aid , but we won't go further in that ....
@@christopherekin1747 Nooo ! We can't count the Live Aid disaster 😔
There were 20 million ticket applications for this one-off reunion gig - 25 years after they split up.
Such is their fan base even now !!

The old masters at work with Bonzo Jr doing Dad proud 😓

@@ShawnSalvadori I'll give you 2 examples, "Stairway to Heaven" Madison Square Garden 1973 and "Kashmir" Knebworth 1979.
Jason on the drums and this is the best Kashmir version ever
Well then I'm happy I listened to the best version 😁 this would be hard to top.
Jason Bonham has encyclopedic knowledge of every LZ song. JP Jones said in interview when they would be a bit hazy on the details of any particular song he would explain in minute detail.
That is amazing. Making his dad beyond proud

The Best ever...dude this is 25 yers after Bonzo passed, and the dis-banded! Amazing...RIGHT! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hard to believe they stopped all these years and then just came right back in and didn't miss a beat
Yep,very emotional 😊
Let's go led heads
Yes this is that concert...dude come on! 😂🤨
JPJ can play keys and bass at the same time. On those occasions he plays bass with his feet.
That's immense talent. Not sure I could even tap a pencil and talk at the same time 😆 ...ok, that's a joke. I'm not THAT bad off 😅
They don't make bands like that anymore.
The Song was new maked for the Film " Godzilla "
6:40. . . How many young singers of today's era could even *HIT* that note. . . Let alone *HOLD IT* . . . perfectly. . . *_FOR THAT LONG?_* . With THAT amount of STRENGTH and purity. .
None, I would say. . .
Robert Plant was in his 60's at the time of this recording!!!
Jason Bonham was good enough in 80 too. He did have a pretty good career though, solo and with other groups including Journey as I recall.
Well that sounds awesome, good for him. He KILLED IT in this video
He’s still going strong. Part of Sammy Haggars band. Was also in great band called Black Country Communion. No to Journey…at least as far as I know.
Jason also played extensively with Foreigner - 4 years.
There is bass in the music JPJ is playing the bass part with his feet.
Jason on THE drum set
❤❤❤Robert ❤❤❤
JPJ playa bass with foot pedals when he’s playing keys.
Yes that's Jason Bonham on drums John Bonham's son and John Paul Jones is playing bass with foot pedals on his keyboard
Jason did freaking amazing. So did everyone else. All around just amazing to watch
Well…… They could not continue as Zeppelin without Bonzo. Jimmy Page did form the band The Firm..,released two albums…then a solo album, then an album with David Coverdale from Whitesnake and Deep Purple (which is very good indeed) in early 90’s….the reunited with Plant for five years or so and toured the old Zeppelin songs, but changed up to more acoustic and Eastern sounding with an Egyptian orchestra……REALLY good!

John Paul Jones play keyboard with build in paddle bass below to perform..
Bass done with organ foot pedals
Do you know Alvin Lee and Ten Years After?
Maybe some Robin Trower?
Can't say I've ever heard those names
Ten Years After is excellent but my favorite Alvin Lee track is The Bluest Blues, with George Harrison on slide.
