A very Happy 78th Birthday John Paul Jones. Born John Richard Baldwin. January 3, 1946. Sidcup, U.K. He's never had a rock star persona. Instead, he's soft spoken, shy and has always been modest when it comes to Zep's influence on modern rock music. Cheers mate and many more..
@@raven_of_zoso455 yes he did, and he's the one who brought the mandolin into the band in 1970, he had never really played it before, but he took care of that quite quickly and so did Jimmy !
As I was listening I kept on anticipating Robert Plant's voice chiming in. Funny thing was after not hearing him I gained a new appreciation for the beauty of the music. Excuse me as I wipe my tears away.
You could see it in Paul's eyes, that look of ''What have I just done!?''. He thought he knew what he was getting into before they sat down and then half way through he was realizing what that performance meant to that crowd and it blew his mind as John just kept on throwing out melodic gold at him. I've seen a lot of footage of both of these guys in different settings but none where you can tell Paul is literally freaking out or where John is so comfortable and playing as if the last piece of tape on earth is rolling in record. Love it.
You are so right. I think the audience was hanging on every note. Afraid they might miss something magical. Oh wait, it was all magical. The audience might have been like "don't move, don't make a sound, wow, something really really really profound is happening right now".
@@elektrolyte exactly...these comments about it being a prolific, life-changing, magical experience and just drinking it all in is a bit much...c'mon, JPJ is just an uber-talented musician who is sharing his gift by practicing his craft.
The glue part is factually incorrect. Peter Grant was the glue. The "by far" part is a real stretch. Show me anything JPJ played that Page couldn't. Page was the writer. He was also a more sought-after sessions musician than J.P.J before Zep. Better? Maybe. "Far better"??? Highly doubtful. Better than Bonzo? Who's the best bass player? You get 20 answers. Who's the best drummer? You get two answers and most of the time it's Bonzo. Better? Maybe. Far better? Again, doubtful. So...... The only part you got right is the "deserves more respect." But, that was his doing. He liked being quiet and out of the party scene. Notice the wedding ring in this clip. Same one he's always worn.
@@francus7227 biggest disappointment post led zeppelin has been jimmy page. Great example of resting on his laurels. Jpj has produced some of the best albums ever made. Jimmy page? Nothing
@@francus7227I love Jimmy Page, but there’s no way he could play some of the bass or keys parts that JPJ played for Zep. Vice versa, JPJ couldn’t have wrote the legendary guitar parts Jimmy did. They were both equally important to the band, but I feel JPJ is often highly underrated considering how much he contributed to Led Zeppelin’s music
Every time I've ever listened to L.Z songs, my ears would always perk up and listen to J.P.J's parts. He is and will always be 1st in my book of music heroes. Thanks for all the great music Mr Jones.
Copy that! I get so infuriated watching videos on how little camera time he got. There are so many moments where his Musical part is dominating the song, yet the camera is focused elsewhere. I'm sure you've probably seen the Seattle 77 video on TH-cam. Every bit as frustrating as The Song Remains the Same when it comes to Jones getting camera time
...I have listened to this about 50 times in the last two weeks, I just don't get bored of it! I'm in my 40s and have been listening to Led Zep since my teens, but this and other vids of him playing mandolin gives me a whole new appreciation of JPJ's talent! He was much overlooked alongside the Page-Plant duo, I feel. And he's so humble in interviews! A true musician. Amazing...
That was breathtakingly beautiful. After listening to John Paul Jones post Zep I have come to realize his tremendous impact on their iconic legendary sound.
The first time I heard Going to California it blew my mind. The level of mastery and the beauty of the song were amazing. I've had very moments in music like that, and I play 4 instruments and listen to music constantly. It was like entering this whole new world, I listened to Zeppelin every day since. God, I love that band and Jimmy Page. Also, great cover; JPJ is amazing.
Great guitar playing. This song always makes me think of my friends and I speeding down a deserted highway, heading west with my hand out the window and the setting sun shining in my eyes.
paul gilbert breathing the rarified air around the awesome john paul jones doing a version of going to california "and very good it is too" well done paul
I still can't get the ear to ear grin off of my face hearing this and will probably need a plastic surgeon to help remove it. Damn, you smoke on that mandolin Mr. Jones. The hair on my arms is still standing straight up. I have to agree with Jimmy you are the most talented in the LZ line up.
Jimmy once said that, but he is wrong. There actually are a few people that could match Jimmy, a few (or composite of a few) that could approach Jonesy if they took the time... and MAYBE in the next 100 years a physical specimen could approach Bonzo's ability AND skills... But the most talented Zepper was and is Robert Plant. Try teaching his skills to anyone... good luck! Ya' just can't learn to sing like that.
Genuinely if not for JPJ Led Zepp couldn't have gone on as long without his prowess on so so many instruments....think of the synth,mandolin,bass,guitar etc etc.....Behind all the magic and glamour JPJ was standing there as the very bedrock which Led Zepp stood on....
Agreed. Honestly, it amazes me when even Zep fans can't see the genius behind that band was their workhorse rhythm section. Page & Plant were pretty sloppy every other night, but it was Jones and Bonham that kept it stable.
Wheelio Agreed. Watched the "Celebration Day" blu ray a few weeks ago, and couldn't help but think that Page was subdued and sloppy, and it was John Paul Jones that almost single-handedly kept the whole thing together musically. Solid as a rock.
Underrated by whom exactly? The man is considered the best all rounder ever by anyone who's into rock music. Every other comment says he's underrated. He's simply the least known fuckin genius in the band outside, again, rock fans.
Therein lies the problem "anyone who's into rock music" is just not as educated as you or I. And the number of those people vs. the educated is very large.
Simply incredible! Takes me back to the days when the best music was ever made, simply magical! John is playing with so much feeling here, and Paul knows hes playing with a living legend, and has so much respect for this man...Mr John Paul Jones
This really is moving. Gilbert is my favorite shredder...he "gets" it. Meaning, he's still an awesome shredder nowadays, but he plays a lot of slower stuff and sings now too. He realizes life ain't all about shredding.
Wow. This was the first time of Going to California like this for me. Always knew JPJ was a cut above the rest and this goes a long way showing how naturally talented he really is. You da man JPJ!
1969, Los Angeles, California. Me, nine years old playin' outside the house in the tree in the yard. Older brother, inside the house, unwraps his latest purchase and lays the licorice pizza, 33 1/3 RPM onto the turntable. "What the hell is that?" I almost fall out of the tree and am drawn into the house between the stereo speakers and into a new age of music. THAT was Zeppelin (1st album) and JPJ was comin through. 43 years later and yet to be hit as hard by music. Magical. Mystical. Religious.
I know - March 2020 and I am just seeing this for the first time. How absolutely beautiful this performance is. I am SO envious of the people who were in the audience to see this.
I really love JPJ's bass solo after the calypso part in the middle of "Fool In the Rain". Best bass solo I have ever heard. Every note is in exactly the right place! And great emotion in that solo!
+Chrisdougable Lolwut? That's definitely a guitar. And that solo is notoriously bad. It has some fantastic phrasing in parts but it's a lot of wanking.
Probably my most favorite song I love every song every album every made from LZ but this was the 2 song I heard from them I believe after hearing black dog I believe and it just sounds perfect to me wished they had more songs like that's the way and going to California. Still the greatest band ever to me.
As a bass player you get to hear a song differently, maybe more completely because the bass is the bridge between rhythm and melody/chords. Seems that a lot of record producers like JPJ are bass players.
Took my chances on a big jet plane, never letem tell that there all the sameeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...John Paul Jones one of the greatest musicians of all time..!!
I saw LZ play this live . They moved to the side of the stage and I got up out my seat from the 2nd level in the Spectrum in Philly, and hurried and went to the place they set up and watched them pretty close up. This was about 1971. I made a great decision. Well worth moving seeing these great musicians close up.
Nancy Rose Black Wait, you mean the plays guitar and cries and sings part, right? Or the never been born part? 'Cause, at this point, that one's gonna be tough. :)
J.P.J. .... truly, THE most talented guy in Led Zeppelin and as usual, the least heralded. But never by me. I've felt this way since I found them back in '68. What a show this must have been! Thanks for sharing this video!
Musical genius doesn't even begin to describe JPJ. Unbelievable talent. The talent of each member of Zep is still hard to fathom 40 years after their tragic ending. They knew that no one could replace Bonzo, so they just called it a career. The only analogy I can think of is Zep was like a finely build Lamborghini that lost one of it's original wheels and ground to a halt. Could not go any further on 3 wheels.

JPJ - one of the most amazing musicians of our times. Happy birthday from a 75yo
This is so awesome! I can't believe I am finding this only now in 2023!
2024 here for fuck sakes...
Jonesy and Bonham, the backbone to the greatest rock band in history.
"Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems..."
The great John Paul Jones -- he can play anything!
I believe he actually wrothe the mandolin part for this song. but, yeah. Jonsey is a brilliant master!
No disrespect to Jonesy but I'd like to see him play some traps.
@@raven_of_zoso455 yes he did, and he's the one who brought the mandolin into the band in 1970, he had never really played it before, but he took care of that quite quickly and so did Jimmy !

Perfect!! He"s a monster!

Same!

All about that beautiful mandolin for me, makes me feel like i'm lying under a tree on the dusk of a warm summer day, watching the sun drift down.
He plays beautifully,.,
The open-tuned guitar sure goes well with it. Love those accompanying bass notes.
Yeah, under a tree in the Shire.
Very nice comment!
Watching the Sun drift away, down into the beautiful horizon.
Just proves that Jimmy set out to form a band of equally talented superstars and he succeeded
Great post.
We are all better off that he did.
He had THE intuition. All my gratitude
that's not a concert, it's a masterclass
Paul Gilbert is a lucky man..."I got to play onstage with John Paul Jones and shake his hand"....I could die happy...
JPJ is great but Gilbert can stand on his own merits and has done for many years prior to this performance.
@@johnnyrocker7495 agree
You could see it in Paul's eyes, that look of ''What have I just done!?''. He thought he knew what he was getting into before they sat down and then half way through he was realizing what that performance meant to that crowd and it blew his mind as John just kept on throwing out melodic gold at him. I've seen a lot of footage of both of these guys in different settings but none where you can tell Paul is literally freaking out or where John is so comfortable and playing as if the last piece of tape on earth is rolling in record. Love it.
The audience is just taking it all in, no annoying "WOOOO" or whistles that ruin most live gigs like this.
You are so right. I think the audience was hanging on every note. Afraid they might miss something magical. Oh wait, it was all magical. The audience might have been like "don't move, don't make a sound, wow, something really really really profound is happening right now".
it is in JAPAN. Land of Manners
Some audiences know how to behave
@@elektrolyte exactly...these comments about it being a prolific, life-changing, magical experience and just drinking it all in is a bit much...c'mon, JPJ is just an uber-talented musician who is sharing his gift by practicing his craft.
Yup. Be quiet. Listen.
One of the greatest musicians of all time.Simply incredible.
I saw Zeppelin twice. Both times I was amazed at how many instruments JPJ played due the concert. Great musician!
JPJ isn't from this world. This man is so damn good at so many instruments.
Jimmy got him for a reason! He knew right away "this man is special."
And he has the driest humor ever!
@@BubbaZen10 They played together many times as studio musicians yrs before LZ
@@JuniorFarquar Yep. Thats how he knew!
Jpj looks like the kind of guy who will jam with you if he sees you playing on street
J
You should be f*cking good to make him want to jam with you. The place doesn't matter
I like the way he just vamps until the guitar player is ready to go
Beautiful mandolin! Love John Paul Jones - insanely talented, can play anything, and so unpretencious and easy going.
I've admired JPJ for 50 years now. Such an excellent musician.
JPJ really was the glue that kept Led Zep together. He was the best musician in the band by far, and deserves much more respect.
Lol
The glue part is factually incorrect.
Peter Grant was the glue.
The "by far" part is a real stretch. Show me anything JPJ played that Page couldn't. Page was the writer. He was also a more sought-after sessions musician than J.P.J before Zep. Better? Maybe.

Absolute legend
@@MrJohnr47 His keyboards on No Quarter are about the best of led zep.
Chilling.
Luv and Peace.
That was a 5.30 min. song and it didn't feel long enough. Greatness!!

Probably the most talented musician of all-time in rock music.
Wow, just WOW!!! Absolutely the most joyful piece of music I've ever heard!!! I've always loved this but this version tops them all.❤❤❤
no words exchanged. but the meaning was conveyed. in silence, there is understanding.
Imma save this.
When Jonesy is on stage, even Paul Gilbert can be considered Rythm Guitar...
That was breathtakingly beautiful. After listening to John Paul Jones post Zep I have come to realize his tremendous impact on their iconic legendary sound.
A truly lovely version here. One is indeed grateful that JPJ has smartly avoided retirement.
The first time I heard Going to California it blew my mind. The level of mastery and the beauty of the song were amazing. I've had very moments in music like that, and I play 4 instruments and listen to music constantly. It was like entering this whole new world, I listened to Zeppelin every day since.

Also, great cover; JPJ is amazing.
Exactly the same, but it was Achilles Last Stand for me. This song only strengthened my love for the band.
EXCELLENT!!! JPJ BEST multi-instrumentalist in rock!!! Thanks for posting this video!!!
Paul’s face says it all.... he’s in his glory
Great guitar playing. This song always makes me think of my friends and I speeding down a deserted highway, heading west with my hand out the window and the setting sun shining in my eyes.
I had a friend who could play anything like JPJ, bass, guitar, piano, violin... the man was amazing. RIP
John Paul Jones is without a doubt the most Overlooked member of that group. HUGE talent.
I can still hear Robert singing in my mind. Brave John Paul Jones.. beautiful
this is a beautiful instrumental version of the song....love
Thanks for sharing this gem. Seriously at a loss for words....
Players would do right to pay special attention to his extraordinary DYNAMICS.

All kinds of credit to JPJ, but the accompaniment by Paul Gilbert add soooooo much to this piece. Wow! Spectacular!
What a musician...
May Apollon and Athena bless you forever
John Paul Jones can play almost anything. He's such a gifted musician and a very humble man. Happy 78th birthday buddy and many more.
Uffffff!....sencillamente la mejor composición de todos los tiempos en una versión sin letra...gracias eternas John P, Jones...
Genuinely if not for JPJ Led Zepp couldn't have gone on as long without his prowess on so so many instruments....think of the synth,mandolin,bass,guitar etc etc.....Behind all the magic and glamour JPJ was standing there as the very bedrock which Led Zepp stood on....
CodedToast yet Bonzo dies and so do Led Zeppelin,
John Paul Jones amazing. Big props to Paul Gilbert too; Egoless as ever.
Luv and Peace.
Lovely...just truly lovely JPJ is a total...musical GENIUS with the 'touch' of an Angel...and a class act all around.
JPJ is just the best.
Jonesy!! Gives me chills listening to him..........thank you!!
sweet guy.. John Paul Jones..
humble kid.. Paul Gilbert ...
❤️
My man JPJ is one rare examples of "Be Good and Be Gone" Absolute Legend!
Probably the most under rated musician that Rock music has ever seen. JP was/is very talented and can play many instruments proficiently.
Agreed. Honestly, it amazes me when even Zep fans can't see the genius behind that band was their workhorse rhythm section. Page & Plant were pretty sloppy every other night, but it was Jones and Bonham that kept it stable.

This really is moving. Gilbert is my favorite shredder...he "gets" it. Meaning, he's still an awesome shredder nowadays, but he plays a lot of slower stuff and sings now too. He realizes life ain't all about shredding.

This is a historic get together without a doubt, beautiful music I could listen to this every single day !
Just keeps getting better and better every time I listen....

JPJ still going strong. This is beautiful. Talent beyond belief!!! Amazing
John Paul Jones is such a talented musician i can't emphasize this enough....blessings from England.
On my knees because im watching a GOD making heavenly music.....
Truly divine beings climb down to this realm on the steps inside musical chords
I'm completely pissed off that this vid has an ending.
It is excruciatingly beautiful.
There are some videos like that. Yes: excruciatingly beautiful.
~ life is just a party and parties weren't meant to last ~
All things must pass my friend!
How is it that there are thumbs down, some people have no musical taste and realize true talent.
Paul Gilbert is always hungry and delivers every time
Incredible, exceptional, stunningly enjoyable.
Wow. The fact that he has Paul Gilbert strumming out chords for him is a testament to the musical giant that JPJ is.
Kept waiting for Plant to show up, but he was not missed. NEW appreciation for the song, getting to plainly hear the mandolin!
Timeless, beautiful brilliance. Reason why this and Battle of Evermore still two of my favourite Zep tunes.
zeppellin owes this man
I really love JPJ's bass solo after the calypso part in the middle of "Fool In the Rain". Best bass solo I have ever heard. Every note is in exactly the right place! And great emotion in that solo!
I think thats page using an octave pedal
+Adolfo Holguin thanks!
+Chrisdougable Lolwut? That's definitely a guitar. And that solo is notoriously bad. It has some fantastic phrasing in parts but it's a lot of wanking.
Notoriously bad??? This gentleman just said how great is was!!
Seems we are at the impasse of perception and subjectivity yet again.
Sorry but how can anyone possibly think that's a bass solo?
Probably my most favorite song I love every song every album every made from LZ but this was the 2 song I heard from them I believe after hearing black dog I believe and it just sounds perfect to me wished they had more songs like that's the way and going to California. Still the greatest band ever to me.
So glad of all the musicians who brought love and life to our souls that left an impression forever
Another proof that bass players are the masters of chord and rhythm progression
Of course. You'd think it'd be the other way around, but nope.
Well said.
As a bass player you get to hear a song differently, maybe more completely because the bass is the bridge between rhythm and melody/chords. Seems that a lot of record producers like JPJ are bass players.

Hail John Paul Jones
I started playing a mandolin a month ago. This is what I think of when I think about how I want to play. So beautiful and soulfull. wow
this is literal musical perfection in every sense of the phrase.
Didn’t realize who was playing mandolin at first. I’m thinking to myself “hey, that guy is pretty good. He really knows the song well”. LOL!!
4:00 always hypes me up...what a performance
have tried covering this but wish i had the pinch of mandolin jpj adds :(
Gorgeous, brilliant and heartbreakingly beautiful.
Will rock music ever return to the glory it was in the 70’s?
This song is freak’n magic!
Tryin' to find a woman who's never never been born

but the 'never,never been born part is really a tough one
Nancy Rose Black Well, i've been standin' on this hill in my mountain of dreams for quite a while myself.
