Jason Bonham - "Trampled Under Foot" - "(Drums)!- Led Zeppelin Song, Physical Graffiti - 1975

[@jendel42750]

During the summer of 1979, Led Zeppelin performed two concerts at Knebworth Stadium in England. While sound-checking prior to the first show, the band was playing "Trampled Underfoot" when Jimmy Page saw Bonzo standing out where the audience would soon be. So he turned around, and to his surprise and delight, saw Jason BEHIND THE DRUMS! He started to smile and laugh. When John Paul Jones saw Jimmy laughing, HE turned around, saw Jason playing, and started smiling and laughing, too! After they finished the song, Bonzo went back up onstage and said to his three bandmates--by then, Robert Plant was smiling and laughing, too--and said, "Now I can actually say I SAW Led Zeppelin!"

What John Bonham also did was to teach Jason (12years of age at this point) other drummers tunes like The Whos Keith Moon. So when John got asked what he thought of Keith Moons drumming, he would reply........"my 12 year old can play that" 🤣🤣🤣class act

When Phil Collins was recognized as drummer of the year John Bonham had his then 12 yr old son get on his drumset, right then and there, and play the song Collins had be recognized for. John's comment, "I don't see what the big deal is, my 12 yr old son plays it just as well."

​@@mark3400 needs to be said, he is not distancing himself from his dad at all, he's taken over the business. I remember he did have a Band, "Bonham", and tried to do Original Stuff, but this is where the money is. He needs to hook up with a Billy Sheen level Bass Player and a Guthrie Vai Level Guitarists and a Good Singer with some smart Lyrics. Even if you don't hit Zeppelin level success you at least did your own thing. I think I heard Daltrey and Townsends Kids were going to make a Who Jr.... I would expect that from the "Last show ever Band". They may have been joking but it was Roger or Pete that said it.

Son of my Favorite Drummer Beautiful🤟😝🎼🎵🥁🎶♥️🇳🇿

[@nigelprettyc3]

Excellent drummer 👍

[@tambourini]

The drummer has the best seat in the house. I just had the 2nd best seat in the house! Thanks for sharing!

[@brucebehnke3227]

John still lives! IN YOU! THANK YOU! you & ur dad ! No one touches that wow!😚🎶 priceless!😊

[@TinaAWall-xc6cz]

Jason is a badass on the drums as was his father John. I love listening to Led Zeppelin.

[@jayall00]

What I appreciate is that he's rocking the same exact gear as John, and he didn't switch out or change anything. He understands the sound JB was going for. People rarely focus on the gear. Those who try to replicate a sound tend to go for whatever's more convenient, or they'll use A customs 9 out of 10 times for some reason. But the sound we typically think of when we hear John Bonham is his 2002 cymbals, and 602 SE hi hats (2002 SE's are ok/mid). Jason really honors his dad but is a fantastic drummer in his own right.

[@jmb92555]

I met Jason back in the early 90s in a music store. Nice guy. His guitarist was with him, a very Jimmy Page looking guy. I can't recall what the band was called. I can't believe he has grey hair now! Time flies

[@diezeldiamond1041]

His dad the late great John Bonham got me into drums. Nice to see his son carrying on the family name proudly. Great job Jason

[@tommybell1786]

Killer drumming by any measure.

[@garyweller7892]

Your dad was god on the drums. And he would be so proud of his son 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻’

[@solidgroundmusic]

3:18 minutes is why Jason Bonham is the real deal.

[@BorisTheSpyder]

he really is excellent. His playing has really got clean.....

[@glengamble526]

Yes, true. To be fair, he’s also using a double bass pedal on that lick. It’s virtually impossible to play with single kick. Not knocking him at all.

[@glengamble526]

@@BorisTheSpyder agreed! I couldn’t stand his drumming with his band Bonham, if I’m honest. He was a young bull showing his chops (which I understand) but he overplayed quite a bit. When he matured and learned to be more musical, he became a monster.

[@jazzyboy7784]

That was baller...

[@MarkAnthony5150]

Amazing just like his father God bless him...

[@rick6582CNCMedicalParts]

Saw this song Played live 75..msg nyc...before on radio along with Kashmir....Great

[@robcordeiro4]

Damn those Bonham genes are strong!

[@deanxxi]

Instantly Jason Bonham takes you there as if you were listening to his father during a live concert. He's every bit as incredible.

[@picassoboy52]

No he isn't. Not even close. Not in technique or innovation. So many people are looking at him through rose colored glasses because of his last name. A good professional drummer of course. But he's no better than any other rock drummer. He has his dads name but that's all. Every bit as incredible? No way. Listen on you tube to his dads isolated drums on Fool in the Rain. So much smoother and more precise. No comparison. Have a great day

[@artysanmobile]

deanxxi Calm down there. They are as different as can be.

[@RustyKnorr]

Mystery Painter I couldn’t agree more. He’s a good, basic, solid classic rock drummer. No innovation, no definable style or sound, nothing to set him apart from millions of other drummers in the same style. I’m not a John Bonham fan boy, but no one can deny his contribution to the drumming legacy and development. Jason is just a good drummer with a great last name. And there’s nothing wrong with that, I’m glad he has a career!

[@bonzo10000]

jason sounds so great when he improvises, and doesn't muscle up on the drumset, he is truly great when he plays like this!!!!!!!

[@NMRK91]

bonzo10000 Agreed! Jason sounds his best playing like Jason.

[@ArizonaSquatch]

Sitting behind the kit in 07 must have been a dream come true for Jason. He made is father proud. Hoping to get to see you and Mike, Joe and Sammy in Phoenix in August! 🤘🏼

[@jackhume4532]

The very fist time that I heard Mr Jason Bonham play the drums was at the Royal Albert Hall with Mr R Plant, Mr J page and Mr J-P Jones. It was the Celebration Day concert and I could have sworn that the drums were being played by his father the late Mr John Bonham himself , I just could not tell them apart, how fantastic is that, congratulations to Jason he has truly followed in his Fathers footsteps. Good bless, be safe and keep on rocking those drums !!!!!.

[@martinkew5514]

Was the O2 arena not royal albert

[@iperfungus]

Solid drumming and fantasy, without any useless excess. Well done.

[@dwdrum11]

Great playing as usual, makes you appreciate the sheer genius his dad was coming up with these patterns all those years ago. Great groove 👌

[@20bonesaw]

Jason has that feathery touch with the snare and hi hat like his dad. He doesn't push a snare roll to fast, just like his dad! Beautiful!

[@rbjax2001]

Those hi hat barks at 1:18 are so 🔥His old man always threw those in so tastefully for a little bite to a fill. Love it.

[@carlstatham594]

That's one impressive and confidant display on the drums. Love it.

[@LittlePiecesofPlasticOfficial]

Love Jason's drumming. So in the pocket all the time. His father would be proud.

[@darkogregec7503]

Jason keep on groovin'!!

[@bassiclogic]

I have seen his John Bonham play live concerts two times. Once at Tampbay stadium Florida and at the Orlando sports stadium in Florida. At the end of the concert John came out to break his set down and I yelled to him to throw me a drum stick which he did! The year of the Orlando concert was 1971.

[@vincentbrady4263]

not comparing him to his pops, not fair to do. Jason has a nice groove.

[@eddie-sf7hn]

His groove is real nice but is too smooth for Zeppelin. John B had an enormous groove. Also, Jasons snare hits are dragging. Great for early 90s grunge. He's rock solid. Damn fine drummer, but not a clone of his father.

[@DefektaMods]

He got the groove and he is so good. And his namn is Bonham.....could you ask for more???

[@brianpoole3484]

But it is fair. He is the one that chose to wear his fathers shoes. He is a great drummer, but not like his daddy John. John was an explosive drummer, although when I saw Zeppelin in 77, they sucked.

[@DefektaMods]

Brian Poole , and when I saw them 79, it was almost finished. But, they were Led Zeppelin with some great songs and a back catalogue that still remains up till this day. That’s why we still love them and Jason that hold the Zeppelin flag high. In my opinion anyway.

[@pullthereins]

Vincent Brady I imagine outside of the compliments that John received, that he himself may have not thought of himself as a great drummer or a pioneer of any sorts. Which is why his performance always triumphed his peers, colleagues and Predecessors

[@65SSLUDS]

Bro you never cease to make me smile with funky shit and great grooves
