John Paul Jones - The Smile Of Your Shadow

As a founding member of Led Zeppelin, multi-instrumentalist, arranger, producer and session player John Paul Jones helped create the genre known as "hard rock." His solo debut, Zooma, appeared in late 1999. Jones' instrumental power trio includes Terl Bryant and Kajagoogoo's Nick Beggs. Live from Austin, Texas

amazing when it comes to music John Paul Jones is the Source

[@peterokeeffe4849]

I saw John Paul in 2000 at Irving Plaza in N.Y.C. One of the 5 best concerts I have ever witnessed.

[@angieslindmusic]

Love the lines he's playing in this show when he switches to the steel

[@micmac1121]

I will always follow Jonesy! His work changed my life as a listener of music and as a bass player. I met you once. It was 1988 or so, at the Ritz in NYC. He produced the band "Mission UK". He also played keyboards on that album and I was in awe to meet him and see him play. I follow all you do J.P. Jones. Your a true master artist

JPJ 👍😁 !!! Que c'est trippant de le voir performer en route humilité ce prodige !!!

You know if Led Zeppelin had carried on ..if John Bonham had never passed on...I think they would have taken a hiatus after In Through The Out Door and their last tour because they had been going for 12 years strong...punk rock had shown up and I think it would have been good personally for all of them. Time to regroup and rejuvenate themselves ..but then I am sure they would all have gotten back together again at some point......and created even more extraordinary work between 4 of them. They were all so creative and brilliant players. Never standing still like some. Can you imagine Robert Plant's voice over this? Add the touch of Jimmy Page and John Bonham to mold it into something even better ..not that these guys aren't talented..just that with Jimmy and JOhn ..it takes it to a whole other stratosphere. Led Zeppelin sure set the bar high. Be a long time before anyone gets there I think. Greta Van Fleet is trying ..but they need to push the envelope a lot further in writing and musicianship. Give them credit though ...they are trying. I think there are going to be some coming out of a classically trained background with the chops ...that are going to discover some sort of inner connection with that energy that drove people like Howlin Wolf and some of the other blues greats. The same thing that happened to the Zep. The love of music that was raw and moved you but them push them to something different ..new and great. I hope so anyway.

Jonesy's slide guitar on this song reminds me of Jimmy Page!

[@melissalayton4186]

Especially "In My Time of Dying".

[@danxenatro]

@hottubedude JPJ begins on an 8-string bass then switches to a bass lap steel. Nick Beggs plays a Chapman Stick. The drummer is Terl Bryant.

[@klistarf]

Two astounding bass players/muso's! Right there...!! (:o) \m/

[@davidsalukvadze4099]

😍😍😍😍

[@Marctull66]

Not easy music but still original. John Paul Jones seemed not to want to use keyboards at this time while he's a talented keyboard player too. Nick Beggs and Terl Bryant are outstanding musicians, and were both in the fantastic Celtic progressive band IONA in the early 90's. Bryant has stayed in Iona a bit longer than Beggs, who has since then also worked with Steve Hackett and Steven Wilson.

[@melissalayton9538]

The 1st half of the song reminds me of "White Summer"/""Black Mountain Side"

[@Hascuce]

its pretty.

[@danxenatro]

@beeterolds It looks similar to a mandocello; the difference is the tuning. A mandocello's lowest string is a C2 and ascends in fifths; its courses are tuned in unison. The lowest string of an 8-string bass is an E1 and ascends in fourths; its courses are an octave apart. Observe the strings of Jones's instrument and you will see that each pair of strings consists of a thick and thin string. The courses of a mandocello are two strings of the same thickness. This is a Manson 8-string bass.

[@ArtbyJoeH]

The video thumbnail is Nick Beggs .ok he’s in the line up but…

[@rayhutto2063]

I like to think where this song could have gone if R Plant had gotten along with JPJ and came up with some lyrics here….

[@juuttuuppi]

Beggs is playing Chapman Stick.

[@beeterolds]

@danxenatro Ya id say thats a Mandocello buddy

[@kevenclarke530]

[@johnferguson2353]

Who is the guitar player?

[@khalillachheb5195]

jpj is a secret box

[@jharri1]

@hottubedude 8-string bass. Not unlike a 12-string guitar.

[@clickdark3964]

10 Times the musician Jimmy Page will ever be

[@jppage3292]

Not true. You don't have to hate or degrade Page to appreciate JPJ. Both are amazing. JPJ fared a lot better as time went on, tho.

[@khalillachheb5195]

If there's not jimmy there's johny

[@liten48]

luv ole john paul, but smile of yr shadow lol dont make sense man
