+Rick Garner Well said! A great bass player, multi-instrumentalist, arranger, conductor… his contribution to the Zep sound is definitely underrated. Bonham/Jones is one of the best rhythm sections ever in Rock in my humble opinion.
Surely you're a guy who tries to play a beautiful instrument like the bass, but pretends to be the main and distinguished instrument of the band ... poor you if you think john paul jones did not have enough credit for being part of Led Zeppelin ... Jonh Paul Jones is a complete and above all humble musician, learn from him
@@ThaiThomIt's so commonplace and normal today for people to do what you're doing. Most people don't even know they do it. You're not expanding on what I said. You just told me I was wrong. I don't give a fuck if that's what you think, but I'm not swallowing your line of bullshit about what you were doing.
Seeing that Page and Plant wrote the song it's probably exactly what he expected. Page and JPJ had known each other for years...as for the rest: "In August 1968, the four played together for the first time in a room below a record store on Gerrard Street in London. Page suggested that they attempt "Train Kept A-Rollin'", originally a jump blues song popularised in a rockabilly version by Johnny Burnette, which had been covered by the Yardbirds. "As soon as I heard John Bonham play", Jones recalled, "I knew this was going to be great ... We locked together as a team immediately"
Because Robin Hood was a notorious pick pocket?? Picking from the Rich to slip into the pockets of the poor? Worst analogy ever. You should have gone for The Artful Dodger. That would have at least made sense.
Another one of my favourite Bonham Beats 👍🏻. JPJ & JB laid a foundation which provided Jimmy with blank canvas to put whatever he wanted on to it. Just fantastic.
Led Zeppelin II is one of my favourite albums of all time, Robert Plant lived locally here for many years near the legendary Rockfield studios and the area is magical ( Wales )
It's nice to be able to hear the vibrato JPJ put on a few notes during the verse. Those nuances really come out on these isolated tracks. Thanks for doing this !
This is in the top five of my favorite Zeppelin songs. Super funky hypnotic groove, tight as can be, and Page’s guitar work on this song is absolutely fantastic, as well.
that bass line plays with the guitar chords in a genius way!! many ppl thinks there're 2 chords in the verse... Not Really!! the bass changes the Harmony, but at the same time, sounds fresh!! it doesn't sound like a dense jazz stuff or something. the bass line works perfectly WITH the guitar AND as a lonely melody... Same happens with bass line/drums as you can clearly hear here. I mean... it's a perfect song!!
My ONLY complaint about this song. I wish the part at 3:53 had gone on longer and not been faded out and JPJ turned up, because that bass part is fuckiiing good and gets cut off and it pisses me off every time lol
In the late 60's Led Zeppelin music was played in most of the local pubs, or Deep Purple, when you walked in, there was a film of blue smoke, and a really strong smell of Moroccan woodbines in the air, by the time you got to the bar you were stoned out of your head and didn't need a drink... I was only 15 then, life was great.
Isolated tracks like these further solidify the fact that this is one of the greatest bands of all time. All you naysayers out there, let's hear some of your work! Out of curiosity/ignorance, what is that constant 'click' you hear throughout the song? I've wondered about that for a long time. Any help?
Every instrumental part should be interesting in its own right, when isolated. Most listeners won't notice, but the subtle complexities makes it more replayable.
saw this on a website: "According to Chris Welch and Geoff Nicholls in John Bonham: A Thunder of Drums, Bonzo used his bare hands to tap out those 16th notes on an empty guitar case."
Carol Kaye, a pioneer 60s session musician had a similar melodic bass style that weaved in and out through songs. I wonder if her playing influenced JPJ at all.
I find this song nicer than Stairway to heaven. Solid, this is the perfect illustration of what happens when drums and bass are in working together. Nice!
Smokey Bear, isn't it a wonderful experience to be able to separate the distinctive instruments and voices of the music you love if you want to, but also being able to hear it as a complete unit, all the instruments in unison. i do it all the time. it's amazing. there are some serious sound/dynamic/vocal/solo and instrumental bands that used a lot of talent and studio tricks to make for some auditory brilliance. cheers.
@@mikegacek9182 , I'm sorry lol. You still can if you want, it's easy to blend them, just appreciate all the sounds together as one. No I'm not some music guru, (serious LOL) I just love talking music and know a lot of different shit, mostly mid 60's to 1980. Basement guitar hacker for almost 40 years. I guess I'm basically into cool sounds that talented humans make(not computers or bullshit software that allows any idiot to try). Ahhh! Buzzed again. Cheers.
@@jeffcampbell668 buddy! Me too! Been playing for like 28 years. Usually go to my garage to play. Now when i hear songs, i sing the harmonies rather than lead. I tried so hard to hear the notes early on and slowly got it. Now i only hear the harmony voice. I love it when plant harmonizes with himself on albums. Bonzo did a lot of the harmonies when played live.
John Paul Jones didn't get enough credit for what he brought to that band.
Rick Garner comming from a drummer point of view, you are very very correct. melody and rhythm are on point.

Very Well Put!. JJP Stood In Back And Played His Part VERY WELL.
I'm pretty sure among bass players, he's pretty well-respected, especially anyone that's done any Zeppelin covers.
This is a lesson on how bass and drum work together
SO TRUE! you don't really notice as much in the regular song but when isolated it's pretty amazing,
Led Zeppelin itself is... not just this. But this is part of it.
@@ThaiThom why are you talking to a standpoint nobody made?
@@bbb462cid I'm expanding on your standpoint. I've been playing this music for 35+ years and LZ is a lesson unto itself about how to do it.

Best rhythm section of all time.
....after Lee/Peart :)
LudwigSC93 nah, you're funny though, I'll give you that.
" Keith moon and entwisle lol
In your opinion.
Geezer Butler and Bill Ward
I cannot even possibly imagine what Jimmy felt like when heard THIS rhythm section in that first rehearsal...
It was probably something like 'Holy shit! We have a winner'.
Seeing that Page and Plant wrote the song it's probably exactly what he expected.
Page and JPJ had known each other for years...as for the rest:
"In August 1968, the four played together for the first time in a room below a record store on Gerrard Street in London.

"As soon as I heard John Bonham play", Jones recalled, "I knew this was going to be great ... We locked together as a team immediately"
When they heard Bonham play the final version of the drums, angels had to have wept.
Probably the same as they thought about him n Planty.
Page likely took credit for it….LOL…
I'm 52 this year and STILL I haven't outgrown this. I don't think I ever will. It's just too right.
Grumpy Hunter cool?? You’re a boomer??
The perfect pair !
Zeppelin had a vibe not heard before.
Like a fifth member.
65 and the same
Bweeman Hate to break it to you but boomers are past 52 years old.
JPJ’s humility and down to earth attitude make him stellar in my book!! He phenomenal!!
absolute agree
JPJ is bassits bass player.Never in the way of others but incredibly imporįant to the whole sound of the band.Not too flashy but a real master!
Pocket so tight, not even Robin Hood could pick it.
nice.
Because Robin Hood was a notorious pick pocket?? Picking from the Rich to slip into the pockets of the poor? Worst analogy ever. You should have gone for The Artful Dodger. That would have at least made sense.
@@emdiar6588 fuck off
Such a tight rhythm section. The chorus really thumps the bottom end. These guys were so good.
John had the ability to add that shuffle feel under everything. It almost sounds like two drummers playing! My hero!
Best bass line of all time!
Better listen a little harder to Livin' Lovin' Maid. HOLY JESUS!
Hate this stupid statements. But you find them regularly on TH-cam
SgtTravisBickle both of them are a lot of fun to play, seriously!
@@TheKitchenerLeslie - Or "Celebration Day".
Aaron Handford Lemon song
jonesy's one of my favorite bassists of all time. he kinda inspired me to learn more complicated bass lines that have more groove and feeling to them
the backbone of Led Zeppelin ,,,,,these two are a force to be reckoned with,,,,so much talent within these two guys
best friends and best rythym section
Actually, Bonzo was closer to Plant cause they met before "the new yardbirds"(early zep), like Jonesy and Page
@@pedroleonicarus4659 The whole band was good friends
I think she means in a musically way you know? They play with a sinergy of best friends.
No they weren't. Plant and Bonham were best friends.
@@ritamchatterjee1022 pretty sure most of em were good friends but yeah what you say its true :)
Another one of my favourite Bonham Beats 👍🏻. JPJ & JB laid a foundation which provided Jimmy with blank canvas to put whatever he wanted on to it. Just fantastic.
The heaviest Motown track ever ;)
Motown? More like traditional Celtic/Renaissance.
Indeed - the Celtic/Renaissance is well known for its electric P-Bass stylings …
Yeah... he always had the funk style. but somewhat the melody has slight atmosphere of north land folk here. It's what Jamerson never did.
That's a Jazz Bass. Bonham didn't use any P-Bass untill the 4th album
Bonham never used either...
I'm 60, don't know what I'm talking about but really appreciate these tracks from the recording.
...looks like you knew what you were talking about after all!
I would love to hear all of zeppelins songs like this
I always thought that the bass was woefully under-mixed on those great Led Zeppelin albums.
Definitely on Zepp VI, and Houses of the Holy...
I think Page tried to correct that with the reissues.
oh yeah, big time
@@twobeer3316 zepp V? do you mean zepp 4? or is there some other album i somehow don’t know about
@@jamescase6465 Zepp Vl, my mistake.
Jesus. These 2 men combined are WAY better than anything out there right now, or for the last 20 years...
Except of course for the rythm section of Them Crooked Vultures ;)

Best rhythm in rock and roll.
JPJ, that clean on 1970's equipment. THAT shows how good he was!
1970s equipment wasnt bad at all, its literally a jazz bass lol
you can hear the jamerson in this bass line.
totally
This is in the top five of my favorite Zeppelin songs. Super funky hypnotic groove, tight as can be, and Page’s guitar work on this song is absolutely fantastic, as well.
Best use of the internet to date
The best dynamic pair of any rhythm section of any band ever. Period. The way they complimented each other was out of sight.
It's so tight perfect like a well oiled machine it can't be duplicated ever
This is the backbone of zeppelin........amazing
✨100%⚡This is so smooth😆

i used to think ten years gone was my favorite zep tune. but i realized just the other day that i NEVER get tired of hearing this song. and i'm 56.
this song always puts a smile on my face, that bass and those drums!
My ONLY complaint about this song. I wish the part at 3:53 had gone on longer and not been faded out and JPJ turned up, because that bass part is fuckiiing good and gets cut off and it pisses me off every time lol
Heard every melody and voice in my head , shows how everybody brings something to the band
I can listen to this all day
One of my favorite early songs. The four of them together were just telling the world this is the Zeppelin, it's what we do.
These sacred master tracks should have never left the tape again, but boy, we're sure glad they did.
When they say who was the spine of LED-ZEPPELIN it was john paul jones and john henry BONZO bonham......
The groove is spectacular. Cripes... that bass when it gets going.
how do the recommendations always know when i'm high
John and John were the foundation and Robert and Jimmy were the house. - brian padrick drake
Jesus! That GROOVE!!!!!
how can people still say jpj and bonham is overrated
jpj and bonham are overrated
lol now i'm triggered
Waldenmattfinish how did you do that?
It's funny cause they are sorely underrated, like .001% of kids these days recognize those 2 names
i feel like they were really under rated when they were coming out tho
At the end, that double time shuffle by Bonham and that Motown vamping by JPJ is just so. Goddam. RIGHT.

this is so cool! thanks 4 posting
Por favorrrrrrrrrrr !!! Cuánto talento !! Gracias a la vida por haber nacido contemporáneo a la mejor banda de la historia: LED ZEPPELIN !!!!!!!!!
I forgot these two are the backbone of Zep.
It takes so many awesome people to make a band , this is a good recipe of individuals
The Cover Classic Rock band i am in plan on playing. This. ZEPPLIN "s Ramble on song LOVE IT THIS LESSON REALLY HELPS ! 🥁✈🏁🏁🏁💔💜📜
Great to listen to while tripping
beats listening to moths getting zinged on a bug zapper.
they should teach this in school
They are one! Melodic Jazz/Funk/Rock bass line following the highway drums.. Heaven, paradise!
Pure musical genius
Really cool to hear bass and drum isolated
WE LOVE DRUM AND BASS
Love these 2!
LEGENDS,,
I read that they forgot the bongos, so bonham played that intro on the back of a guitar case.
Sooooooo soothing for my ears
amazing rhythm section
Was a great time to grow up listening to such great music, man!
This is a great instrumental in its own right

brandonhill72 Bonham has a towel on his floor tom. He's playing that.
Is that what I'm hearing for the first minute of the song?
I was trying to figure out out if he was tapping a djembe or conga, or something else.
saw this on a website: "According to Chris Welch and Geoff Nicholls in John Bonham: A Thunder of Drums, Bonzo used his bare hands to tap out those 16th notes on an empty guitar case."
it doesn't sound like a tom with a towel on it. not at all. John seems to be right that it's Bonzo's hands on a guitar case.
Pure gold!!!
So addictive I love it!!!
I love the hand played "cluck track". Old school.
Inspiration for the eternety
REEEEEE-donkulus. Beyond heavy.
Carol Kaye, a pioneer 60s session musician had a similar melodic bass style that weaved in and out through songs. I wonder if her playing influenced JPJ at all.
thank you for whoever thought ahead enough to record this!!!!!!!!!!
That tremolo effect on the bass takes the song to the edge of ruin, which is where it needed to go and why it’s so very brave.
AAAHHH WHY IS THIS SO ADDICTIVE????
Gotta love JPJ giving the tines! Best of the best rock bassists!
undeadened bass drum two heads, lovely!
Dois monstros sagrados do rock pauleira led zeppelin 🇧🇷🎸🥁🤘👏👏
Gave me chills
Tighter than the spaces between the blocks of the Great Pyramids!
I find this song nicer than Stairway to heaven. Solid, this is the perfect illustration of what happens when drums and bass are in working together. Nice!
I want this song played at my funeral
🤭😂🌹❤
3:46 - 4:54 holy shit. I'm not sure, but I think JPJ improvised that. But it was AMAZING.
this track always
makes me
;~)
Just so outrageously fine! I wish there were more isolated tracks of these two.
I need to show this to the guys I play with. Pedals don’t cover up shit playing.
This is locked in
rhythm is on point!
just learnt how to hear bass thnx

So fucking good 🎶✌🏻
Is it it bad that I frequently get just the isolated drums and bass for this song stuck in my head?
