Once in a great while, an almost superhuman person comes along who makes you wonder how in the world they do what they do. And John Bonham is definitely one of them.

Any one of Zappas drummers, Vinnie Colaiuta or Terry Bozzio could outplay Bonham. Drumming's not a competition sport, but Bonham was a brilliant, heavy solid rock n roller, integral to Led Zeppelins classic albums The Zappa guys take drumming to a much higher musical level and are technically phenomenal.

@@jamiecartwright5469 Bonham is on another level of technique to be referred to as just a heavy solid rock n roller. His playing actually draws from a jazz sensibility of swing that he adapted into the songs he played, keeping it heavy but with an underlying subtlety in the performances. His jazz influence is evident in this performance with a nod to Max Roach. Comparing musicians by saying one could outplay the other is silly, especially when it's basically apples to oranges with the different contexts in which they are playing. As you stated, drumming is not a competition sport.

When I see John Bonham, my heart aches with pain. I feel so sorry that this great musician burned out from alcohol at the peak of his fame and didn't continue his career as a magnificent drummer. Even to this day, I rarely come across drummers of his caliber. There is no doubt that Bonham made Led Zeppelin unique; his contribution to Led Zeppelin's music was immense. I'd love to see the great ones alive as long as possible.

These concerts were legendary for their length. Richard Cole (Zeppelin's tour manager) once told a story of a new roadie waiting in the wings for his next duty and several other roadies asked him if wanted to go across the street for a few pints of ale. When he said he couldn't because they were in the middle of a concert, the others laughed at him and said "Don't worry, they'll still be here when we get back.

A lot of people are unaware that Bonham used the finger control method. You need dexterity in your fingers. When you play drums, you always keep time w your HH. It should be 2nd nature to all drummers of substance. John Henry Bonham was a naturalist. He played how he felt, what he felt. He expressed himself through his playing. As the saying goes, "your instrument is an extension of the way you feel. From his single stroke rolls, to his doubles, and paradiddles, John Bonham knew the exact recipe of finesse, and power perfectly combined. Thank you for all you left us to learn, John. RIP

The level of concentration required to play like this is mind blowing. Keeping that hi hat steady while improvising complex patterns like that on the snare is really an incredible feat. He constantly changes it up. develops an idea & moves on fluidly to the next. His feel & timing are a joy to watch.

John Bonham's kit has been silent for 41 years now; he left us back in September 25, 1980, at the age of 32. RIP to the greatest rock drummer of all time.

So amazing how he plays with just a simple kit n make it sound like hes beating on tons of them.Only he can produce that sound,The legend the goat will never be forgotten.

Have people come up to me and comment on how I make the song. I tell them I owe it all to John Henry Bonham!

Its the first time I have ever seen that and anybody who watches it will understand why he is classed as one of the greatest drummers that has ever lived, those that put dislikes really do need to seek counselling cause theres something wrong with them.

The best part is at the end when he starts stick twirling while he's playing a triplet solo. All this after he just beat the hell out of his drums for 25 minutes. What a bad ass! And world great a d influencial drummer. Bonzo!!!

Outstanding! Love the Max Roach/Drum Also Waltzes reference. So many wonderful vignettes here! A true master class! Bonham could do no wrong behind the kit! Taste, power, grace and that unmistakable, FAT tone! Love it!

They worked so well together, like a well oiled machine. The accented each other and made each other superstars... Everyone got a chance to strut their stuff on stage... Every member got to shine on at least 1 song on each album. That is why they were the best band of all time... and people are still playing their music today

This solo from that tour has never been my favorite. It sounds, feels tired and mundane . . . 4/27/77, 6/21/77, 6/10/77, those have that 'energy', though I always felt it was dwindling at this point. I love 2/28/75 and 5/13/73, both the shows and Bonzo's solos. Imagine being on top of the world at twenty years old as one of the world's greatest living drummers, and in twelve years time you would be dead?

No one gives a shit...I was there at every concert I was at too.

R.I.P. Fantastic drummer was born ever. It's my Youth, and life stills . He was only one of best. I know at last.... .

Ridiculously good. The best band ever never to be repeated. I wish we could re live these moments of pure genius

Meu Deus!!! Nunca tinha visto isso antes!!! 23:41 ele gira a baqueta com a mão direita feito um helicóptero e continua o solo pauleira com a esquerda!!!! It's amazing. RIP Bonzo. The Master of The drumm.

The soul of Led Zeppelin

Love how he closes his eyes!!! Totally one with the set

I’m in the middle of the Song and I’m soooooooo Hypnotized 😵‍💫 I can’t get enough of this! Thank You Led Zeppelin….. Thank You John Henry BONHAM ❤️

Thank you for the incredible performance - this is the video that made me want to be a drummer

Keith Moon was the sort of drummer who was all flash. Bonzo was flash, but he knew his drum kit inside and out and didn't need to destroy it to captivate fans. Don't get me wrong. I love both of them, but Bonzo was a pure drummer

Moon destroyed his kit cus pete destroyed his guitar nothing to do with captivating fans he literally threw his drum kit at the fans

Wow! That was awesome......

In a vast space, some life forms have done this one of a kind performance in a tiny planet called earth and I could experience and feel their music. I would consider myself that I'm pretty lucky! Bonzo made me to start play drums and changed my life. Thank you all.
