John Paul Jones - Ramble On Isolated Bass Track Live - Big Ears 2024

[@akasgsvirgil9503]

There is the real hero of Led Zeppelin. John Paul Jones is the secret ingredient to the entire Led Zep sound. Without JPJ, the Zeppelin sound wouldn't exist. Misty Mountain Hop, The Battle of Evermore, Over the Hills and Far Away, The Rain Song, Thank You, Dancing Days etc all sound the way they do because of JPJ. Plant and Page, talented as they are, were the ornaments. No one remembers the magnificent tree. But, everyone remembers the shiny ornaments. Everything that shaped the definition of Led Zep's sounds was because of this man. What talent!

[@eugeneboyarskiy7694]

Yep, but let me render the same honor to Bonzo!

[@Dan-zq5wt]

Maybe Jimmy Page and Robert Plant had small parts to play also? Oh wait, that’s the whole band! Weird

[@kerry-ch2zi]

@@eugeneboyarskiy7694 Quick! Someone silence this rabble rouser! Let's just say how greatful we are these 4 guys landed in the same space! (PS this may have been one of 3 bass lines rattling around in my skull when I decided I couldn't live without one)

[@kevinmcfarlane2752]

I would say they were all essential.

[@pageluvva]

4 heroes, not one. All 4

[@phillipdycaico5949]

This baseline has been in my head since I first heard the song.

[@georgeburns8447]

Well, then you'd better get that checked out.

[@phillipdycaico5949]

@@georgeburns8447 No, I’m happy to have random tunes play in my head. It makes me happy. Say hello to Gracie.

He was asked ' How does he approach playing in front of 10 people as opposed to 100,000' and his reply was 'No different, just be true to the music'. 😊

[@laurawillman2318]

Met him in 1998 in S.F., ZOOMA tour. He & his wife let me on the Charter bus; kissed him, & got autograph! He & Mo were the nicest , most humble & gracious

[@marciashiraishi5891]

Cool! One of the things I admire and respect about him, being married to the same woman for so long, that's beautiful!

I love the way he talks. He doesn't seem to move his jaw at all.

Great stuff. I am lucky to have lived in that time

[@lemuellachica4991]

So good yet somehow underrated. Zep's anchor. Wonderful personality with plentiful creativity.

[@panda_knight5037]

So great to see one of my favorite bassists still playing as well as before

My favorite song by LZ because of that bass line❤

[@VashTheStampede4K]

*Mr. Jonesy is always pure gold, the secret weapon of Led Zeppelin. Legend.*

[@thatcanadian6698]

I'm not a bass player but it seems like many of his most iconic riffs aren't just cool sounding but must be fun to play too.

[@Ivan.8067]

Ah eu só posso é 👏👏👏👏 E agradecer por todos sons e músicas compostas e tocadas por este que é um dos baixistas que mais admiro!!! Obrigado por compartilhar, e muito obrigado John Paul Jones 👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@TheFolkandAcousticChannel]

Actually I’d listen to him play a concert all on his own

[@billyidol2115]

A no-brainer song for him to do on that steel, would be Hats off to Roy Harper from the third album. He was doing when the levee breaks. But hats off to Roy Harper literally has the steel❤

[@Jimmy-n7p2b]

Awesome ❤

[@osanic]

Legend

[@greganderson7534]

Led Zep is one of those bands where the best all-round musician is actually the bass player. A few others also come to mind: Beatles Who Grateful Dead Cream Rush

[@eamfos]

Heaven !

[@jamalwest7658]

You can definitely spot the James Jamerson Motown influence on Jonesy's playing

[@epicridesandtours]

Freakin' incredible! His work MADE LZ II. Every track a classic, with unbeatable bass work. Particularly The Lemon Song, which doesn't get mentioned a lot, for some unknown reason.

[@toddwalker4301]

A master!

Jonesy makes it look so easy!

He plays bass too!?

Haha, underrated comment! 😉

Bass is the main instrument of this song IMO.

I wonder if bassists start to merge together as they grow old... he looks a lot like Jack Bruce now, in their elder years.

[@brock275]

He should play some instrumentals with Jimmy Page. The fan base is starving (except for continuous listening of previous catalogue) and times ticking by. I would love to see it.

[@naysayer1238]

Is that THE bass?

[@Johngonefishin]

Looks like a newer version of his old one........the original is probably in a vault.

[@borisblvd5354]

Was it..."How Many More Times?" that he started with, by mistake?..hahah

[@stevedixon5318]

These are videos you gotta click on

[@DannyintheSpirit]

Possibly the most POETIC bassist in the history of Rock!

[@perbes100]

Jack Bruce or John Entwistle may have been better bassists but had they been able to come up with No Quarter? Hmmm...

[@WilmerCook]

Can't hear it!

[@eric3969]

Is that a P-bass or Jazz-bass? Looks Jazz to me but I sold mine 20 years ago.

[@nisiunavoce1264]

Jazz bass.

[@r0cket_penguin]

Jazz of course. Two single coil pickups are the dead giveaway.

[@thedukeofno]

I'd pay to watch this guy play a plank with a rubber band strung between two nails.
