He played bass, keyboards, lap steel, guitar and mandolin. And anyone who never got to see him in a live setting could never comprehend the POWER he put out. Him and his band literally had the building shaking! It was amazing.

Ugh, so much more than glue. I know what you are saying, but glue is sticky and slow. Jones was super fast, always improvising, and never repeating the same thing twice. John Paul Jones was the best musician in the group and was doing far more complex harmonic leading progressions than most rock bassists could do.... the glue is the rhythm guitar track that jimmy laid down the first time through. Jones on bass was doing crazy lead bass jazz style funky walking things that most people never had imagined at that time in rock music. Literally the only person in the group who never plays the same thing the same way twice... that's John Paul Jones. ALWAYS changing it, ALWAYS improvising, and solid as a rock.

What’s really amazing too, they only played together about 2 months, before recording this album. Page had like 2 weeks to find band members, & their first rehearsal was on August 19, the day before Plants 20th birthday. I’m not sure how many gigs they played as The New Yardbirds, but by sometime in October, over 4 days it was recoded produced mixed & edited by Page. How quick they played so amazing together, like different parts of one musician. Then with lives & improvising, & still fitting like a glove, all 4 being the GOATS of their crafts made all the difference.

The similarities between what John Bonham did and what Chip was doing there are strong. So yeah, it's obvious Bonzo came from a jazz backgound.

Jimmy opened every single other album with a barnstormer...Whole Lotta Love, Immigrant Song, Black Dog, etc. This one is kind of a barnstormer, but the most obvious choice would have been Communication Breakdown. I think Jimmy deliberately chose this one to open their debut album as if to say, "Look at this frickin drummer I'VE got!!!" Robert has said Jimmy liked to play right in front of the drums, let them drive him on. Jimmy has said that about anybody could do those bass drum triplets...nobody but Bonzo could do them ALL DAY LONG like Bonzo

John's parents loved listening & dancing to Gene Krupa Big Band records. It's no wonder why a then baby Bonzo was influenced (mesmerized) so young by such a legendary drummer. Gene was quite melodic in style, but had great groove, a solid pocket, pretty amazing chops, & a true understanding of dynamics. I'm pretty sure John was also influenced by Joe Morello's hand drumming, then again baby John was beating his mum's pots & pans way before he ever heard of or saw Morello. John may have been influenced by the Great Max Roach too. John paid homage to him playing an intro of one of Roach's solos for his Moby Dick solo. Lastly, had John's main influence been Buddy Rich rather than Krupa, I don't think he'd be as great a drummer, or had as fine a touch. Rich had finesse too - HE HAD EVERYTHING - but imo his patented style was mostly a no holds barred, unrelenting, unrestrained, in your face monster flurry, a kick your arse bombardment with max volume, & blistering speed killer chops! His aggressive style went hand in hand with his fiery personality. Bonzo is my forever favorite! His inhuman Power, Talent, Genius as a Drummer will never fade or be forgotten! Cheers John!

I first heard this in 1970 when I was 17 and my mate introduced me to them.... Because we were lucky enough to have SO much variety in our music back in those days of growing up in th 60's... and I had the advantage of my parents listening to a whore rage of music, especially swing... and I grew up with the Beatles changing styles every record and lamost every trsck, so it's difficult to explain to people and get them to undertand that this was yet anothet new record that was damn good and nothing like anything that was around... Having said that... I also mean that we KNEW they were bloody good, listen to the arrangement and the parts that ALL four of them play to make the whole. It combined to make something that developed into a powerhouse. We knew they were special and eagerly waited for the next record and they never dissapointed. I was lucky enough to see them in the mid seventies in a 3.000 seater old Playhouse/theatre in Glasgow and I can still remember it 50 years later. I swear at one point the galery was moving with all the stamping in time going on... Incredible days and I have loeved them ever since. To go back to your point about understanding the technicalities of what he was doing... as a non-musician, no, I didn't... BUT, for those who listened, and I was one of them, you could pick out every part he played and it was the FEEL that soaked into your bones as you listened to this band. I loved the way lve Jimmy would often either guide John or be guided by him for their musical cues. They were so tight... it just need a look or a gesture. One final thing I promise... I've always wondered if the cowbell is an overdub.... it seems almost impossible to play all tat other stuff and mix in the cowbell as well. But of Bonham I would believe anything. Keep on rocikng and sorry for the essay.

Preamp saturation was the order of the day when recording rock musicians back in the late 60's and early 70's... that's what you're hearing on this recording and as you said the 'live' in-studio feel of this means the cymbals creating masking on the drums in places, but Bonham was unique in his swing and overall feel.... although his timing was really tight.... great analysis Andrew as always.

According to Carmine Appice, he asked Bonham about those single bass triplets and he said he got from him. Carmine was like "Huh? When did I do *that*?"Apparently he showed him on the Vanilla Fudge cover of "Ticket To Ride." Though, I've listened to the studio version anyway and I'm not seeing what he's talking about, though the bass drum is a little difficult to hear in the mix. Something tells me, whatever Bonham heard is not what he actually ended up doing with it. An inspiration maybe.

Apparently, Bonham got the idea ( and execution) of bass drum tiplets from Carmine Appice. Carmine himself says it in a few interviews. So Carmine was one who could do it in the rock world. Actually, Bonham`s whole drum kit ( including the gong) was based on Carmine`s.

Hi Susan! Thanks for the New Year's wishes 2023! :) I hope you have a great New Year as well! So fun taking this Bonzo Zep journey with Andy from the earliest days of his channel. You know Bonzo is my favorite member of Zep and I was drawn to Andy's channel from his beginnings on the channel with his review of Bonzo Moby Dick at Royal Albert Hall. I was pumped when he agreed to cover the first album with LZ week! :)

such a unique one for Bonzo. He never really did anything like it again. I always wonder if it originated from an old drum exercise book he had or something??

The first time I heard this performance in 1978 I was wholly flabbergasted. I thought an entire orchestra was playing. I tried for more than 30 years to figure out how could JH Bonham do the drums part. Usuccessfully. I was sure - as most drummers did at the time - he used double bass drum pedal. Only with the advent of KZfaq, thanks to the covers of great professional drummers, I could understand the dynamics. He did all that with a snare, a tom, a single pedal bass drum, a cowbell and a couple of cymbals and I thought to myself: he's human, he is supernatural, more: he is divine. Jimmy Page said once that by listenining to GTBT you can only have a slight idea of what John Henry Bonham was about. Ipse dixit. The mistery of how he could have the sublime genius to invent this abdolutely unique grove will stay in his sacred grave. Righteously.

Happy New Year!!!! This is fantastic it is starting out with Bonzo and Led Zeppelin Week!! Thank you Andy for taking this wonderful deep dive into the first album! :) You captured his playing and groove so well in your breakdown and analysis and the drumeo transcription....it's that feel, that dirty pocket, that groove...many have attempted to copy it, but very difficult replicate his feel. Playing slightly behind the beat to provide that space and tension and groove, I think Dave Grohl's quotes describes his playing so well: “It’s hard to explain. But his feel and sound is unmistakable and undefinable. Anyone can take the chart of what he played. But it would never be the same because it was as unique to that human as a fingerprint. So I became like a monk, listening to these records and memorizing them. It was like poetry to me. I became so obsessed that I gave myself a three-interlocked-circles John Bonham tattoo on my arm with a fucking sewing needle and some ink. I was branded for life.” And the best Grohl quote, "John Bonham played the drums like someone who didn't know what was going to happen next-like he was teetering on the edge of a cliff. No one has come close to that since, and I don't think anybody ever will." Thank you Andy!! This is going to be an awesome week! :)

@@susannebass5503 Happy New Year to you too! It's been a blast doing this with you and Andy! :) I am very familiar with the live bootlegs and live is where Bonham magic happens, the improvisation of the whole band. Are you wondering about a good live video of him playing? Good question. One of my favorites he has not reacted to or seen is Moby Dick, Earl's Court 5/25/75. He has seen and reacted to Moby Dick Royal Albert Hall 1970 and Moby Dick from TSRTS movie, which was blocked on KZfaq. Also, there are great shots of Bonzo playing at Knebworth, In the Evening. Have you seen Moby Dick from 5/25/75 or In Evening at Knebworth?

@@susannebass5503 Hey, I wonder if he would go for making LZ week a New Years tradition? Next New Years, he could move onto LZ 2, or like you said, go out of album order and do LZ4. Only issue with both albums are all acoustic Going to California or Levee Breaks, which he has already reviewed. Or with LZ 2, he has reviewed the Lemon Song. Do you think he will want to wrap up the week with live video? If you do, I will send him a paypal request for one of those live video tracks, just like I did a paypal to cover LZ 1 for LZ week.

Hey great minds think alike💯 Hit me up anytime I'm a Led Zeppelin fan till I die.....oh I was going to tell you the story of why led Zeppelin 4 means so much to me. When I turned 12 my parents purchased a record for me it was by The fifth dimension if you know who that is. Undoubtedly I was horrified and didn't speak to my parents for at least 3 months. Fast forward to my 13th birthday my parents purchased a black light a black light poster of a wizard on a hill led Zeppelin IV album and a brand new stereo I spent hours playing that record with my black light looking at the poster and life has never been the same 🤩🤩

When you combine real slick groove with excellent chops.... you end up with magic... almost impossible to imitate. This album, this first track shocked the Rock n Roll world... especially the triplets on the kick drum, which were immediately interpreted as being 2 kick drums. Also, when Jeff Beck listened to this album, his first comment was, "He's trying to destroy me...", meaning Jimmy Page.
