This was recorded in 1968. John Bonham was 20.

50 + years later we are still in awe of the groove this 20 year old laid down. What a legacy! Forever live the memory of King Bonzo!

Andrew, Bonham was still just 20 years old at the time of the recording and the release of the debut album.

I love the dynamics they were able to add to their music; they never hesitated to smoothly and seamlessly drop tempo from wherever they were if the song called for it and everyone followed along to perfection.

Hello from New England..It's Brian from N.E. Andrew..I'm using someone elses mobile...This groove is so dirty it needs to be brought up on charges of indecency lol..Once again JPJ displays his gift for arranging during the guitar solo when he holds it down with a nasty bass line..I cant imagine having had this much facility vocab and overall headroom when I was 21..Goes to show certain pll are just born to be legends...Peace

Jazzy and bluesy 👍

Somebody may correct me, but I think Robert and Bonzo were about 19 at this point, had previously had experience but more or less in glorified garage bands, and Zeppelin had been together about 2 weeks before they went into the studio to cut that album. Truly the stuff of legend...

I know they were both 19 when the band was put together, shortly after they turned 20, not if before or after this recording. Page had obligations from the Yarbirds, so they had to do some concert dates in the Netherlands/Iceland. Iceland is where The Immigrant song idea came from. They recorded & Page edited etc. all in about 36 hours, it dropped in January of 1969. Their second album was recorded in different studios, while they were touring, it dropped in October of 1969. Two amazing albums in less then a year, by the greatest band then, & still are today.

and this rolls straight into how many more times

Outstanding drumming!! Bonham giving it his signature touch🔥🥁 And Robert singing his heart out. Whole song is a peak into what's to come!

Brilliant reaction... Bonham was actually only 20

You can feel that bass drum. Really nice and clearly recorded. I love the drum sound for sure.

@Cecil Keebler I started playing drums because of Neil Peart's drumming.. But I absolutely Loved your comment!! After growing up listening to Neil Peart.. My older Brother,"God Rest His Soul!" Got me listening to Bonzo.. And the very 1st time hearing Bonzo,playing the drums,the 1st thing that blew me away,"about the way that John Botham played,was how smooth,clean and (Owww How Powerful His Bass drum Sounded!) And it was a little later,that i found out that Bonzo was one of Neil Pearts Biggest Influential Drummer's of his time!!! And WOW!! How i miss them both so so much!! Perfect Comment!!! As much as I respected Neil Peart!!... Bonzo,without any doubt whatsoever!!!! Most definitely had not only the fastest and smoothest bass drum,playing abilities,that ive Ever Heard!

How did I miss your reaction to this live?? I hope it's 1970 Royal Albert Hall. That performance is so epic! Loved this reaction. Drumeo looks like a really cool thing to have, (if I were a drummer) haha. Peace, Andrew Edit: ok I did watch your reaction to the live version of this BUT IT WAS THE AUDIO ONLY! YOU HAVE TO WATCH AS WELL AS LISTEN, ANDREW!! The only way to redeem yourself is watching How Many More Times from the same show. It's 20 minutes of absolute mayhem so I'm not sure if you can handle it. I would love to make a contribution to the channel to get this up, (I understand that's how it works), but I'm on a fixed income and the economy...blah blah blah. Hopefully someone can push this one out there for us. You need redemption, Andrew. How can you listen to just the audio when theres video to go along with it? Praying for a miracle here in the states 🙏🏼🙏🏼

2:15 - "I gotta do a cover of this." 5:05 - You sure about that, bro? LOL

This song it's just beautiful

This live at Royal Albert Hall...magnificent!

Bonham would do Moby Dick 20 to 30 minutes depending what kind of mood he was in and how long his bandmates would take their break

This epitomizes old-school blues. Jimmy was brilliant. Awesome reaction, man. 🤘

This is a wonderful, rather under appreciated Zeppelin song. The dynamics and feel are all there and it flows seamlessly into another under appreciated gem How Many More Times. There’s a great live version of that too from Denmark radio in early 69. It was their first television performance and they are on point! Check it out.

I agree with you ☺️

robert and bonham were 20 when they recorded this

Hard to say anything before such perfection.

Can't wait for your cover ... sweet! ;-)

Now that's some blues rock. Great reaction/analysis. Thanks Andrew.

Rock on! 🤘

In Colorado we just passed legislation that forbids playing "I can't quit you baby" without following it with "How many more times" immediately and uninterrupted.

When Bonham's mom was pregnant with him, she'd call his dad over to feel Johnny kicking triplets in her womb.

Oh man, How Many More Times is one of their best, esp of the early material! My band used to play it, and its a blast! Youre gonna love it!

This version is fantastic but the live at Royal Albert Hall is way off the charts!! Side note: Bonham was 20 when this was recorded in September 1968 (30 hrs) & released January 1969, turned 21 in May and recorded & released Led Zeppelin II in October 1969. 🤯What powerhouses these guys were!

Drumeo is so cool. To be able to slow things down and loop sections to figure out how a drummer does what they do is awesome.

Hey Andrew , how ya goin' , b4 we get into this I just came from Kalonika's channel , and she has just put up a cover of Good Times Bad Times , and we know that Bonham was a once in a lifetime phenom'. but I'm seriously falling for her ,I'd seen her a few years ago , but now she is bringing a whole lotta joy to a tired ole rock fan . so find some time and check it out . P.S. would love to give but a pension don't leave much..

Thanks for the Led Zeppelin ❤❤

May 31 1948 Bonham's birthday first album released in US was January 12 1969 March 31 1969 in UK according to page it took a total of 36 hrs to record it With his own money Now that was first under led zeppelin but they all played together in late 1967 to 1968 under the name the New Yardbirds Jimmy had to fulfill 6 gigs he was under contract to do so they actually played together way before the first zeppelin album was recorded according to Page Plant n Jonesy they all stated the first got together in late 1967 early 1968

Actually the Yardbirds broke up in July of 1968. The New Yardbirds or what would be call Led Zeppelin got together in October 1968. This is per Jimmy Page from numerous interviews 😊

@@HollisDuty60yes I thought it was in 68 also, they weren’t even together long when they fulfilled those contracts. I’ve always wondered though, why was it just Jimmy’s responsibility, & the others just could walk away? I’m glad that’s how it went, or Led Zeppelin may have been missing Plant & Bonham, because that Reed guy would have been free then.

Thank you! I really very much enjoyed that.

i have watched this now the trailer was great lol yea fantastic Thats jazz right there really highlights how dynamic a player he was especially near the end and that floor tom roll out perfection another quality video have a great day

So so good - my favorite LZ album. I learn so much from you! Thanks

As a matter of fact, @AndrewRooneyDrums I have a playlist of all the songs at RAH 1970 concert so there WILL be alot of requests coming through Patreon soon! 😁

INCRÍVEL ISSO, ESSE VD ANALÍTICO ME FEZ DESCOBRIR QUE I CAN'T QUIT YOU BABY É UM SUPER JAZZ. COMO POUCOS E COM UM FRASEADO DE GUITARRA DO CACETE.

conducting Mr. Rooney sounds just like my alessis, lol 😆

Dear Mr. Rooney, you got this! I can't wait to see you punch this one out of the park....

Bonham started playing drums At the age of 15. When he Recorded this he was barely 21. 😳🤔🙄🤨

You should listen to live version again with the drumeo transcription if it available

Next song is my favorite off of the album and that's saying a lot!

You need to do all their albums to get the real feeling on the variety of the different types of music the played you did alot with sabbath well lets get the led out

Bonham comes in late a lot from the middle to the end. This is what Ginger Baker was referring to. It's only a microsecond but oh boy when you miss the downbeat...

Their live version are always much longer the the studio songs

Clearly, Tom Morello was a major influence for Bonzo; the Moby Dick solo is a prime example, but I think we can hear it here, too.

Andrew, you have to do a cover of this.😊

Plant said he started with the guys when he was 18 years old and ended when he was 32 years old

I believe Robert Plant and John Bonham were both 19 yrs old when this album was made

Don't forget the cover, Andrew.

IMO, the first LZ album might be there best, at least from a blues standpoint.

How many of us were ready to start tapping to "How Many More Times" at the end?

And oh yeah do THE COVER..Just saying lol

I always both cringe and like Jimmy Page screwing up a bit when he is finishing up one of his solos about the 5:20 mark of this video and he comes in quite a bit too early. They just left it in there and when on about their business. Lightening in a bottle. You just simply would not hear that rawness these days.

kzread.info/dash/bejne/pZ5q0ZacqLrNnJs.html as far as I know Bernard 'pretty' Purdie was John Bonham's favourite drummer.

Looking back it's a bit surprising how many times Jimmy goes back to the basic blues well. Well, if you got it, flaunt it.
