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!"

[@dannydirt5D]

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

Jason has to play "within" the narrative of each Zeppelin song. He couldn't play like Keith Moon while playing in the "narrative" of a written composition of a Zeppelin song. He HAS to stay within what John had already laid down or the SONG just would not sound like like Zeppelin. I'm a 72 year old drummer and that's the way I feel it.

​@@mark3400 needs to be said, he is not distancing himself from his dad at all, he's taken over the business.

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....

Even his dad and the rest of the band improvised and mixed it up BIG TIME on stage. So many live performances that we can see/hear now that shows the mighty Zeppeliin mixing it up. They were/are all consummate musicians that CAN and DO listen to each other and create an exciting and unique musical performance each and every time!

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

[@robertwhatley9078]

I remember seeing Jason as a kid on The song remains the same, I knew he would be a spectacular drummer.

[@darkogregec7503]

Jason keep on groovin'!!

[@oddball6969]

Puts heart into the funk with or without an audience...

[@rbeforme]

you don't exactly need an audience for either of those things, but ok

[@LittlePiecesOfPlastic]

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

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Of course he's good, his dad was some famous musician or something.

Jason is a powerhouse like his dad,but also puts his style in as well. Respect to your pops & you,thank you for keeping REAL MUSIC alive.🤘🤘

[@edwardboers1993]

Definitely in the pocket the whole song...great drummer

[@joebananatube]

By George, I think the boy fills those big shoes just fine.

[@maximusmax4557]

Boy George? No, his dad was John Bonham.

[@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.

[@ramosel]

My all time favorite Zep song.

[@sprinklesthedrummer9731]

He plays exactly like he should! Groovy like only his father could do. That slow, comfy groove; still wears is 80's influences on his sleeve! I LOVE THAT! He's J.H.B.'s gift to us all!

[@larsgroth1917]

How can anyone dislike this? Don't understand.

[@smackie001]

His feel is nowhere like his dad, there's MY reason. Other drummers groove way better when playing JB's licks. But that's just my opinion.

[@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...

[@brucebehnke3227]

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

[@skymarriot]

He is all Bonham.The power,synchapation, and timing is carbon of his great father yet has his own style. All of us that wondered, and speculated what you'd become when you were a kid, got our answer. YOU did become a great drummer too.#RambleOn Jason

[@BenjaminSchiltzVlogs]

taught at a very young age by his father. his dad being strict and relentless when it came to his practice shows in his ability. great drummer a master of his craft.

[@subsonicwarthog]

I learned to play drums by listening to Bonzo starting in 1969, and still playing drums every day.

[@ninjavigilante5311]

Bonzo and ginger are 2 of the greatest imo

[@grennmanalieshi]

That snare sounds amazing! Wow!

[@georgejones7680]

Excellent Drummer. Have Albums with his dad playing. My favorite is Presence. Nobody's Fault But Mine, For Your Life, Royal Orleans. Man he kicked life in every song. The Bass Guitar player and Drummer made Zeppelin a power house. 🥁

[@MarkAnthony5150]

Amazing just like his father God bless him...

[@donmccann2885]

What a great snare tone here!!!

[@kenwolf6334]

Every time I see Jason playing just brings a smile to my face.

[@sfag82]

“TALK ABOUT LUUUU-UUUUHHHH!!!”

[@peterzep13]

Bonzo would be proud!!!!

I remember Jason in the Mark Wahlberg film,”Rock Star”,laying on the table getting a blood transfusion. The life of rock musicians!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@SoxArizona]

Was lucky enough to see him a few years ago opening for foreigner. Amazing musician

[@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!

[@gitaaa7740]

Gawd I miss John Bonham!

[@jimphayre]

I love how his left hand plays off the hi-hat.

[@echeez4418]

I was watching that too. He has great hi-hat skills.

[@cfbwizard]

Jason is just incredible, damnnnnnnn!

[@TinaAWall-xc6cz]

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

[@MothersGreen420]

Great groove.

[@abidababida7096]

he’s got that same funk in his playing that his dad had. Man he sounds just like him.
