I saw John Paul Jones here in Knoxville Tennessee at the Tennessee Theater couple of weeks ago at a festival here called: Big Ears! He is the REAL DEAL! ALWAYS HAS BEEN ALWAYS WILL BE! I kept waiting for Robert Plant to come out and say: JOHN PAUL JONES, ORGAN, MANDOLIN, STEEL GUITAR, AND TRIPLE NECK!!! JOHN PAUL JONES!

John Paul Jones, wonderful musician !!!

JPJ is an absolute master, not just of bass guitar but music in general. I was so lucky to be front row to see him in London in 1999 on his Zooma tour - he walked on stage with his fretboard all lit up, I felt like I was in heaven. He always seems happy and jolly too.

An absolute musical genius. I love the whole band but JPJ was the secret weapon for Led Zeppelin’s success.

Definitely the glue that held Zeppelin together!

I think each of them were stellar... and John Paul Jones, with his multiple talents, has his own galaxy...

Absolutely brilliant JCM. Jones is undoubtedly a musicians musician. Even the Avant Garde pieces - which can be a bit hit or miss to listen to- were spectacular... He needs to do a full tour. 👍

JONESY & Roger Glover 2 of my favorites.

Wow that organ. Thank you J your work is a constant source of pleasure and joy in my life

I was luck to see Led Zeppelin 3 times, John Paul Jones is unbelievable. A true master at his craft.

He has been a huge influence to this bass player 👍

genialny huudobnik,slavny basak z led zeppelin,vynikajuci instrumentalista,super.

Thank you so much for doing this video. All the work that I have seen of yours has been fabulous. This one is no exception. JPJ, just brilliant! I am a huge fan of Avant-Garde, Free Jazz, Noize, Experimental Music. I am so grateful that you did this doc on Jonesy. The content in this documentary is both abundant and beautiful. I'm going to search out these awesome shows you've brought to our attention. Thank you for your passion in making these great docs JCM. 🎶⭐

Hey, so glad to see you covering this! ❤️ I really did shed a few tears watching his surprise recent appearance because of how beautiful the music sounded. The man is a precious treasure without doubt. It's so clear to see the incredible contribution he made not just to Led Zeppelin but to music overall. In my wildest dreams and my vivid imagination, I keep thinking, well, Jimmy made a surprise return last year with The Rumble, we've just seen JPJ which you're covering, and I distinctly remember seeing what I think was a Christmas greeting from Robert saying something along the lines of "it's never too late"...... now we know that nobody would be able to hold Jason back from his rightful place. Bearing in mind the state of the world when Zeppelin first formed, and taking into account its current state? If the lads could find a way to reunite even for just one more show? The ripple effect around the world would in my opinion unite the people in a manner that would make everyone drop their weapons. But hey I'm just a romantic dreamer 😊......... can you just imagine though? Taking the spiritual approach of us allegedly entering the golden age of Aquarius, one more Led Zeppelin reunion is comparable to the return of King Arthur when the world needs him the most. I guess it's a curse of being raised by parents who are both artists and it was their pastime as an escape from the day job! Thank you Jose, you are one great guy ❤

This is the creative avant-garde spirit of Led Zeppelin.

Bravo José Antonio!!

Looking forward to it JCM 🤘

JCM Love your Zeppelin videos 💯. One of my Zep's stories .In 2001 i went to Asuncion ,Paraguay . During the trip i went to a near by shopping mall called Multiplaza . I was walking around and there was a record store called Zeppelin music 🎶 it was shocking !! Every year i would visit the store and meet with the owner Gladys . Some years ago Robert Plant 🪴 was touring SA. And was in Asuncion for a show . Gladys was able to meet Robert Plant in person. Gladys went to the stars that day ✌️

JPJ Brilliant Musician Great Doc Jose 👍

JUST watched that video. By himself the man commands respect. He joins Homme and Grohl in TCV and not only holds his own, he dominates over guys 30 years younger than him.

great job JCM

Wonderful video. JPJ seems a lovely bloke, largely ego free, non poseur, fabulously talented instrumentalist, writer, arranger. Apart from the money, putting up with the other 3, on the road must have driven him bonkers ...

always been a favorite of mine, and im glad i share a birthday with him

🌠Duuude JCM...Another Good One..I didn't know most of this stuff...

Jonsey's parents, having been his influence and in the business, must have been so proud of him! It just goes to show how Jimmy page had an ear for talent, picking the perfect band mates to take Jimmy's vision of the perfect band! If Jimmy had chosen anyone else for his new band, who knows how it would have turned out? John Paul Jones was the perfect fit! His musical talent was paramount for the success of the Mighty Led Zeppelin! I love Robert saying in a live show, "John Paul Jones on piano!"

Great video as usual.

Great overview JCM. I really wanted to make it out to these 3 shows but no luck. Thanks for putting this together !!!

Wow, imagine the kind of stuff Zeppelin might've done if they'd continued on. I can imagine them doing an orchestral album or something like that. The avant garde stuff Jonesy made could've been worked into the middle section of Dazed and Confused.

Another Triumph Jose-Thanx ! I have NO IDEA how U do it-it would take me a Zillion years & a Team of Thousands to do what U do in a Seemingly Very Short Period of Time !! Incredible !!!

SO good, thanks for doing this. JPJ's musical abilities are second to none. He's not playing a bit of mandolin or lap steel -he EXCELS at those instruments. Like he does on keyboards and writing arrangements. But when it all is said and done, I'd say JPJ is THE greatest electric bass player ever. And yes, I Iove Jaco and Macca and Entwistle and Jamerson, but JPJ has such an incredible scope and range even just with that one instrument. Like fusing totally different approaches. I always wondered why bands failed so completely when trying to cover Led Zeppelin. And while every musician was unique and uncopyable, it's 'Juan Pablo Jones' that gets overlooked. It took me a while to realize how say Whole Lotta Love gets much of it's power from his bass. Yes, it's Page's riff and Bonham's incredible groove and Plant's amazing vocals. But it wouldn't have worked with the amazing bottom that JPJ provided.

I raise my glass of brandy and toke my cigar to the great John Paul Jones!

Your channel is so great!

Awesome!

So glad you did this episode on JPJ. He was definitely the most accomplished musician in Zeppelin and really the backbone of everything they did. I remember when they got inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of fame and he got up to the mic and basically just said thank you to Robert and Jimmy for finally remembering him. Than during the songs they played he went on to blow everyone else off the stage he played so great and with so much presence... No pun intended. I've been dying to see him for years and really pray I get the chance to at some point. Hoping Them Crooked Vultures do another tour sometime but I'd be happy seeing him in any situation. I've seen Plant a bunch of times and he's always great. I saw Page 3x between the Arms concert at MSG when I was 17 and twice with The Firm.. Which I always wished he got back together with cause they were awesome in concert. As a bass player John Paul Jones is the one I wanna see the most.

Caramba, que achado esse canal!! Parabéns pelo conteúdo. Continue produzindo 😊

Happy Easter from Florida, USA Jose! JPJ; an absolutely incredible musician!

I hope his solo stuff on DGM will be released on vinyl some day. Great video !!

Absolutamente de acuerdo contigo cuando calificas a John Paul Jones como el mejor músico en Led Zeppelin. Si por una parte es quien ha sido más ignorado de los cuatro por, digamos, "la prensa pop", o los "mass media", creo que con bastante seguridad, para el auténtico melómano, está claro dónde se encontraba el elemento que marcaba la diferencia. !Y qué despliegue contínuo de talento y registros!

Such humble brilliance.

You are absolutely right about JPJ . What's next thing are you going to present?

A long overdue retrospective of this quiet genius, and JCM is the man to do it! 🎇 JPJ should be inducted into the RNR Hall of fame for his work on Houses of the Holy alone...

I played drums, and anyone that has played drums wishes they had taken up the bass instead! I wish I had taken up bass, just on the off chance that I could be as good as Jones. Or, at least play some of Jones's stuff. Feel, groove, swagger, finesse Jones could do it all. Jones could sit deep in the pocket, or when he was feeling frisky (checkout The Song Remains the Same from Seattle '73) bust into the front line and kick you in the teeth! A man of immense talent and dry humor that grounded him and kept him from becoming a memory, or a statistic. There are a couple videos going around of Jones playing Down to the River to Pray at Big Ears, check them out because it is spooky good!

Id like to consider JPJ as the Dr. Frankenstein of the rock world, as he would unassumingly walk on to a project and turn it into a monster.

Word

Absolutely the most talented of the group. Probably the smartest one also. Hahahaha Great video, Jose'.

Why do you use the red and blue color graphics ? Just wondering. Love your very informative and in depth videos .

Love JPJ dry sense of humour, very old school British. J Page was very lucky to have someone with his musical ear to follow Jimmy's improvisations and where Jimmy decided to go, judging by some of the later No Quarters ie 1977, I don't think Jimmy could do it quite as well when the roles were reversed

Very cool, I like that dimension! How did you feel about “When The Levee Breaks” feat. John Paul Jones | Playing For Change | Song Around The World? He really got down with Stephen Perkins from Jane’s Addiction. The only thing that would have be better is if JCM was on this jam!

I wish he'd release piano/keyboard only record like Wakeman's superb piano only LP's

JPJ's contributions were not legally acknowledged in the credits of many Led Zeppelin songs because of his inexperience and humility as a person, but listening to Page and Plant's solo works years later it is easy to see the lack of the great bassist and musician's talent and contribution.

02:03 Juan Pablo Jones, primo de Guillermo Jones y de Francisco Jones El Son mariachi de Led Zeppelin...

Didn't know he's completely dominated that festival.

7:20, the struggle is real 🤣

Imo JPJ was great but ITTOD I know you love it Jose, as I do but if Zep continues and Bonzo lives .... God rest his soul... Zep is going back to basics back to guitar driven Rock imo . ITTOD part 2 would of and could of never happened again it would of not worked. Zep fans wanted Rock . JPJ is a amazing awesome musician he was never going to get the acclaim of Jimmy Zep was his band up till 78 imo during the recording of ITTOD and off time of the band between the warmups and Knebworth shows . Plant was in control but if the American tour would of been at least good on stage Page would of took back Zep and to it roots . This could of and probably would of caused problems as I believe the band we're going in different directions in taste and what they wanted Zep to Be . All respect for JPJ 👍🏼

JCM on Kashmir and other songs JPJ is credited for playing a melitron ( I'm not sure how it's spelled).can you please explain this instrument? It says it makes sound from pressing on keys similar piano. That definition does nothing for me. Also he is credited for playing a fretless bass that too blows my mind! How does one master that instrument?

when i was like 18 in 1989 thurston used to make fun of me for liking led zep. so funny to see this now.

The only way I could do 😂

Sure he's great but I've never seen him play a double kneck bass.

The silent assassin

Sowy 😢 to mention organ comeback ... then a tiny scene with no sound ... has disappointed, but I believe he is a musician selfless sticking to his first love - MUSIC

JPJ is a very versatile musician, but I think it's a stretch to say that he's the 'best' musician in Zeppelin. Jimmy Page's guitar solos and compositions on both electric and acoustic are part of what defines heavy rock n roll. JPJ doesn't have any truly legendary solos or compositions on the level of Jimmy. He doesn't define the bass or keyboards the way that Jimmy does with the guitar. He doesn't command the stage and transport people to other realms in the way that Jimmy can. He clearly played a huge role that can be overlooked particularly by non-musicians. I think it's too bad that Jimmy and JPJ haven't done any projects together. Maybe they could have worked on new instrumental grooves, trying to go beyond Zeppelin, and maybe attracted a new singer to go along with new directions.

At 3:50 lame band . sorry Jonny.

Jonsey is a genius.
