He's got his own style and he uses it to spice up his dads style, this is insanely impressive. He was definitely born to be a great drummer.

He has a lot to live up to, but the crowd used to fall silent when his Dad played it. I wish they'd be quiet now so I can appreciate Jason playing it.

​@@calledbythehumans2500 You are saying that he should move away from being his dad whilst you are critiquing him for not being his dad, how on earth?

This is what happens when lightning strikes twice. A father and son share the same craft and both do phenomenally well because it's in their blood RIP John your son Jason lives through you

THIS WOULD MAKE BONZO CRY WITH HAPPINESS X

I have watched this so many times and I never get sick of it. So sad that John Bonham is not here to see this he would definitely be proud. R.I.P John Bonham.

I have to give to Jason.. When he's following the Royal Albert Hall footage, he's following his dad when he was only 23 !! Jason is 50 here !! The guy is still a rocking drumming machine..

Lets be honest. Jason is as great as John. Bless you Jason. You have made your dad super proud of you.

AGREE ! and yet some FOOLS cry and scream that Jason isn't as good as his father or that because of his dad = he was born to play the drums ! I've been a drummer for 57 years now and I know that Jason has LOADS of talent and he was good enough to be asked to actually play drums with LED ZEPPELIN ! Just because your father has talent doesn't mean that you will ! Michael Jordan's son are not highly paid Pro Basketball players !

I do wish that everyone would stop comparing Jason to his Father. He is a successful and accomplished drummer in his own right. His ability shouldn't be judged purely on the basis of who his Father was.

Dunno if he can call Jimmy anytime anymore. Maybe he can call his lawyers...after Page had lawyers file some kind of suit against him for saying Jimmy offered him heroin or coke when Jason was a kid. Just sayin'.... Jason's number might be blocked on Page's phone nowadays.

I don’t think he can call then anytime he wants, not the three of them, only one, his uncle Robert..

Met Jason and saw him a few times. He is a very cool guy, he signed a pair of drum sticks for me, and as a drummer and a Zeppelin fan I consider those to be priceless.

I remember when Jason first came on the scene. As a drummer, I really wasn't impressed at all; he seemed decent, but really didn't sound like the drummer people wanted to see (a newer John Bonham clone). He wasn't bad, but not anyone I wanted to follow/see. From this video, it seems pretty obvious he's improved in a lot of ways. First and foremost, he can sound like his father when he wants to. Secondly, he's not just someone impersonating John Bonham; he's his own drummer, and you can hear him inserting his own personality and style into this take on a classic solo. Finally, he really channels that arena rock drummer thing very well. Kudos, Jason (and thanks Ken for posting this)

Lets clear this up for once... Bonzo was a pioneer in Rock Drumming. Jason is a great drummer who is carrying on his dads legacy, as any good son would honor his dad. He would be the first to tell you he's no John Bonham. Let him live his life.

He reminds me of his dad in every way. Even how humble they both were. Rip John and love ya Jason!

Dude he killed it. I never wanted to give this a listen in case I was disappointed, but no. He really killed it.

The people commenting here about Jason's talent and ability, and how it differs from his father, are comparing apples to golf balls. Why did I not say to oranges? Because the equipment John used is only similar to what Jason is using by the mere fact they are percussion instruments. Would Jason be as praise-worthy on the equipment his father used in the '60s & '70s? Certainly, given time to practice. Jason strives to carry on his father's music, sharing with younger generations, thus keeping John's memory (and music) alive. John died so young, leaving immeasurable amounts of music genius yet untapped. The world missed out on so much more "Classics" that could have been, if Led Zeppelin had a career of 40+ years like Rush, Rolling Stones, or Aerosmith instead of the brief time they were actively together. I pray John Bonham is resting peacefully in Heaven, knowing the tremendous amount of joy and happiness he continues to bring to the world. As for Jason Bonham, I sincerely wish him long life, prosperity, happiness, and the inner strength to look the nay sayers in the eye and say "Don't like the way I beat sticks? Go fuxk yourself!"

Jason Bonham is truly his father's son indeed, both of them are awesome!!

Yeah, but man, imagine having to live in that shadow. Nothing he does will ever be good enough for anyone. Jason has clearly worked incredibly hard on his craft, and if he wasn't his father's son, he would stand out as a remarkable drummer. As it is, he his just inevitably compared to his father and will always lose that fight that he surely never wanted. Of course, he invites a bit on himself these days by mimicking his father's setup and style, but let's face it...that's all anybody wants from him.

Thanks for posting this!!! the home video was priceless. Thanks again for sharing.

Crackin, love that interpretation of the great Moby Dick solo, But the home movie- wonderful, cracked me up, and seeing Bonzo having a good laugh made it for me.

I heard his dad solo with Zeppelin twice in the early seventies,I can't compare them.this guys great in his own way,and in those times ,things needed to be expressed in many ways for those at the time.But I sure still feel " work in from seven to eleven every night" could make life a drag,especially if I had to try and imitate the past four hours every day when life has moved on and much more has and is and will be.thanks for the expression ,and thanks for the ears and and ability to feel it.

To think that he's 20 years older than his dad was when he died.

Excellent. Saw Zeppel9n 1st time in 1969 at the Rose Palace in Pasadena, CA, where they made the floats for the New Years Parade and blew me away. John Bonham wad my influence to this day playing drums and I will be 69 this year still loving their music. #1 rock band of all times. Great job Jason.

Very interesting to watch. He has some of his dad's sound, but also has his own flavour too. I could almost think it was his dad, but he is enough of his own drummer to be unique. Nice style.

THAT apple never fell from the tree....

He is his own man, there will ever be only one John Bonham, different feel, different drum set,different chops etc.

Damn those Tom rolls @ the beginning are insane. Bonham will always be my drumming hero. And Jason respecting his fathers legacy, & following in his footsteps, is absolutely 100% just fantastic.

Great to see the footage of Jason with his Dad.

I've seen Jason multiple times since 1990 always a great show.

Jason you are a very skilled musician. I am a HUGE Zep fan and I’ve seen your JBLZE twice-I even met you. You are keeping the Zeppelin fire alive and I love it-keep up the good work.

Damned good jam. Jason would make John super proud. He drums better than me,but he started a lot earlier. I didn't get started until I was 29, and that's pretty much like trying to teach an old dog new tricks. I just wish I could hear the actual recording from the mixer on this because there was a whole lot of love (and that was pretty loud love) bleeding through. I was talking about the applause of course, with a pun on a favorite old Zep song. The home movie was really cute too, it teared me up. I don't know why, could've been missing John and being sad that he left us at such a young age, and in such a tragic way. The loss of so many young and talented musicians in that era could almost send a soul into depression. God bless Jason, and I wish you many more years to come buddy.

Superb performance.!! Shows that Jason is obviously a talented drummer. This Moby Dick solo very enjoyable and he drives the momentum through its entirety.

truly talent and legacy by the father,what a legend

I want to go back in time and have a video recorder so I can listen and see them all. Awesome;

Jason, I MUST SAY.....You Sir are One AWESOME individual😇🥰😍🤩😎😎👍👍👍👍👍!!!!!!

One Hell of a Drum solo!!! Amazing! 🤘

It brings a tear to my eye watching this man play like his daddy.

I love the way he mixes in his Dad's stuff and brings his own interpretation. I think he's found his own identity now after living in the shadow of his Dad. The reunion gig I think laid his fears to rest knowing he could move on and go forward after proving himself to the world in the ultimate test. He's his own man and that's what every Dad wants their son to be. It's a pity John didn't stay around long enough to see this but he would be proud. And the home movie footage is priceless!

Fantastic.

Theres some serious fluidity and precision here! Bravo!

If I ever had to cover the Moby Dick solo I'd leave out the hand playing because my hands can't take it, and I'd defend myself by pointing out that Jason doesn't do it either. And I really like what Jason did to interpret John's work here, top chops in my book.

You must be the best drummer in the world no joke well done Jason your dad would be definitely so proud as you are to him

Dad and son. That video is indeed priceless.

I am absolutely sure that Bonzo is happily smiling down on his son ☺ !

loved it well played that man im well impressed 💪👊✊

Nice solid drum solo,he rocks!!! One of best out there these dayz...
