I was in the crowd that day,, I truly could not believe what I was listening to. When I watch it back these days ,, a life time later, I feel privileged that I saw and heard The Zeppelin.

You don't have to be a drummer to want to learn about drumming, especially when it's the amazing Bonzo!

This band blows me away more and more everyday. They are one of the few that deserve their hype

Peter Tea makes a great point. I need to stop saying 'don't know why you'd watch this if you're not a drummer'. Grateful for any views. Drummers or non drummers. Silly statement on my part. Music is music. We're in it together. I don't understand how engines work but I still enjoy driving my car. Thanks for all the comments people. I will get back to you all!

That "base player" is John Paul Jones. Jonsee is the unsung workhorse of the band. Him and Bonzo laid out the amazing groove upon which every Zeppelin song was built.

This performance about Kashmir is better than any other performance, I have heard led zeppelin since 1973, Bonzo really is to me the best drummer ever.

The different timing is what makes this song so brilliant in my opinion

I just want to say, I WAS THERE!!!! it was one heck of a gig, a mate spoke to their roadies who said they didn't play as well as they usually did. It sounded bloody brilliant to me, but they had just had a2 year break without playing. One of the support acts was Chas and Dave..

The creativity of these guys is jaw dropping on all levels !!!! Im so glad Jimmy had the forethought to get this show in the can for the yet to be born rock n rollers .

Excellent video. Kashmir is my favorite song of all times, such a majestic masterpiece, beautiful spiritual travel. Thank you!

this is insane playing, vocals. I mean...cmon. GREATEST BAND EVER!

I am not a drummer, I am a guitarist who definitely respects drummers. I was actually there in 1979, what a sound they had. Kashmir is always a class track, Bonzo could definitely be heard there. What an amazing drummer he was...

It's genius how bonzo and jimmi sync up every 12th beat

This is arguably THE songTh that defines Led Zeppelin. It embodies so much of the music they represent and conveys the divergence from mainstream that creates the space for them to occupy. They were innovators and inspirations for countless bands since. They will live in infamy throughout many genres of the future, but the core of this band lies in blues. I was enamored with their diversity, in my youth and am compelled with their voice, in my later years. May their songs grow your spirit in perpetuity.

26" Bass drum, 15" rack tom, 16 and 18 inch floors toms, 14 x 6-1/2 Supraphonic snare

The magic is the average person can bang their head all the way through having no clue what’s going on. With Bonzo, on the the one and four it’s solid like concrete but in between, who knows where he’s going! JPJ and page locked up so well it created something many don’t notice but it flows beautifully. Although he left too soon, Bonham left us with an incredible legacy of music!

I'm 42, been a HUGE Zep fan since I got into them my sophmore year of high school (10th grade)...... when I watch their shows, this one and the 2007 reunion concert, I come to tears thinking how I could never see them live in concert. This is one band I would seriously morgage my house if I had to to buy tickets for. I wouldn't care if they cost $5,000. I would see them if they toured. Money is no object. I was born too late. These guys in their prime were just pure magic. Absolute magic. Off the charts and out of this world.

Zeppelin and Bonham...just the best! Especially live! Jimmy was the master of riffs and producing and writing music! Amazing! JPJ often plays the bass with his feet when he plays the keyboards! Super talent!

I was lucky enough to see and hear this live on one of their previous tours. To say that show was surreal would be an understatement. I knew absolutely I was in the presence of greatness. Bonzo was incredible but they all brought something to the party. Jimmy Page playing Dazed and Confused was something to behold!

Kashmir is not a song, it's a journey across the universe

Wow haven't heard this version before. What a performance!

The most amazing thing about Led Zeppelin is the brotherhood. Jimmy Page inherited a band's obligations, and to fulfill the obligation he hired some session players he knew. A dozen years later when Bonzo died they made the decision to disband rather than go on without their brother. Just think about how many bands from that era lost a member and just kept trucking. Zeppelin, the band formed by a session player filled with other session players, could not stand to replace Bonham.

John Paul Jones is playing keyboards and bass with foot pedals

One of the great things about Bonham is that he always played just a tiny bit behind the beat, not dragging (because he was a freakin' metronome) but everything was a tiny bit behind the beat, to leave space for the arrangement to breathe.

I think the silence between notes is just as important as the notes themselves. Bonham uses that “space” better than anyone else.

You have to remind yourself that there are only three people playing musical instruments.

I was happy to see you notice the fill at 09:05. I rarely hear it mentioned, but to me it seems perfection.

If you like this you should listen to "Fool In The Rain" if you have already. Very Polyphonic. Check out that foot drum at 06:25 exactly!!! Took me a year to get that down pat! NOW YOU KNOW WHY THEY WERE SO HUGE IN THEIR DAY !!! Awesome live! And why they couldn't go on without him!

I was there for the one, and to this day was the loudest outdoor festival I've been to, massive PA system and every thump of JB bass kick shook the ground.

I still remember the day it was announced on radio that John Bonham was dead. I was a sophomore in high school in So. Cal. at the time, and upon the announcement, I felt I had been run over by a train. Nothing but Bonham and Zep tributes on the radio for days. I swear I remember Jim Ladd on KLOS radio was crying. The thunder on 9/25/80 was silenced, but the music and John Bonham legacy will live on forever.

Greatest band of fucking galaxy, too damn good!!

Also, in this Knebworth show, you see a band who's been together 10 years, ravaged by alcohol, heroin, and every level of excess, clearly still COMPLETELY in love with their music...no "dialing it in" here! I'm convinced the drugs and excess were merely something they to survive, to get through, in order to keep doing what they really loved.

I’d you really wanna see the epicness of what John is actually playing then I recommend checking out Bonhamology’s cover if this version of Kashmir, it’s mind blowing

That drumming that Bonham does at the end is probably the best drumming I've ever seen. Talk about a whole another level.

I love watching musician reactions to LZ. Yours are great!

Best drums of any song ever. I saw their last tour.

I was there, amazing atmosphere!

Something I realized playing these songs was that the drums actually followed the guitar it was like they were mentally in tune ! Very difficult to do and stay in place but so damn enjoyable !

Was there on the first day, 7 days before this one. Remember the mood in my pub on the day Bonham died too.

We watch to learn. Thanks for your insight!

I’m a guitarist! LOVE your channel. Bonzo’s definitely a favorite drummer. This tune was my introduction to hemiola!!!!

Truly awesome performance by a band at the top of their game. Reminds me of my time at Uni 😎

Love this song! Absolutely amazing

You gotta do "Achilles Last Stand" from that same concert. Live at Knebworth 1979. It also on youtube

Great coverage!

"Who's doing it today?" Sums it up perfectly, Andrew.

I always laugh at your reactions, because they're straight from the heart and "in the moment." I thank you for that. One thing you said that really caught my ear was, "I've never heard these Bonham chops" toward the end of the song. You see, that's one of the many things about Bonham that was so unique. He would get this idea, or this roll, or a fill, in his head, and then repeat it in different places of different songs. And the very next night he'd be doing something completely different, yet no less unique. He really was a true musician. As you can probably tell, I listen to a ton of Zeppelin live recordings. I pointed out to my wife (also a huge Zeppelin fan) his propensity for finding a fill and utilizing it in different places of different songs just the other night, actually. Mobile, AL 5/13/73 - during No Quarter he does this monster fill. I played the No Quarter fill for her, and then played him doing the exact same one in Over the Hills and Far Away, Misty Mountain Hop and Dazed and Confused. Her reaction? "Whoa!!!" Anyway, my point is: Bonham had a great imagination, and when you hear him playing around like that with some cool fill he just discovered, it's like a kid with his favorite toy. You can HEAR the joy in his playing.

Bonzo could grab you by the ears and not let go. What a joy to hear.

Just an awesome band all together‼️ This is why so many other bands were so heavily influenced. And members of led Zeppelin openly said they were influenced by old American Blues and 50s and early 60s rock, Spanish music.

26" bass drum, 16" rack Tom, 20" floor Tom and an 18" floor Tom, I've got the same Ludwig kit

Kashmir is a classic example of polymeter (two or more time signatures played simultaneously and in the same tempo). In this case, 3/4 (melody) against 4/4 (drum groove) resolving every 12 beats (or every 3 bars of 4/4).

I also recommend “In My Time of Dying” (studio version)!

I am sad that Led Zep had to stop after Bonzo left. But how can you replace him? He was otherworldly, so are Plant, Page and JPJ. It was a band like no other.

Thanks for more Led Zeppelin ❤

you make me feel like i first listened. I wanna so much you listen 2007 live version too. Thanks for the video.

Whoever edited the footage did a very good job indeed, as it had to be done in real time because it was done for a live projection behind the stage so ppl further back in the audience could see the band. And just for shits and giggles they had the tape recorder going while the camera operator was doing his thing. It was never intended to be used for anything.

Btw, one Zep video you were talking about contemporaries; you can check out one of Bonham's buddies, Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward, initially trained as a jazz drummer. Good song to freak out on is Sweet Leaf. Moves from a very slow pace to high speed, and when Ward breaks the speed limit, the fills and thrills are priceless.

I wonder if Led Zeppelin being my favorite band, Rush being my 2nd and Def Leppard my 3rd is because of the drummers!

Andrew Rooney Drums, So glad you discovered this, Im a drummer and ive watched this over and over. John Bonham, in my opinion was at his Best here, no doubt about it. Sick Again from the same show is fucking mindblowing.

Andrew, I want to thank you for your insights and wisdom. These men reset the bar .

4/4 for Bonham and Plant. 3/4 for Jones and Page

This was Bonzo's Stainless Ludwig kit. 15" rack 16" and 18" floor toms 26'x14" bass drum. Monster kit.

Can you imagine playing this on stage back then with the 1 to 1 1/2 second delay in your drums sound and you and the guitarist only synchronize every 3 beats , you better count and then all of the other fills and creativity a generational talent, today's digital doesn't have the time lag that analog had

I am so glad you do not have that darn Covid. Stay safe & healthy. Another Zeppelin masterpiece - work of ART.

Andrew, you need to get the bootleg "Listen To This Eddie" (Los Angeles, 1977). The quality is as good as it got back then, and Bonham just KILLS it!

Robert Plant: Let me take you there. Me: I'm there!

aah I was there for both shows at Knebworth.

Dazed and confused 1969 Denmark radio!! Or the whole show!! Check it out!!

26 inch bass drum and the rack is a 15x12. Ludwig Stainless Steel kit.. Not Chrome over wood.. Cold rolled stainless steel drums.. Cannons!!

I'm a guitarist but want to understand more my relationship to the rhythm sdction. For me, your channel has helped me immensely.

the thing with that song is that if you heard that song for 50 years then ther's got to be one of those times when you heard it supremely inhebriated or high as a kite and then you hear it in 2022 and you get those feels back sobre and grounded.

I recommend listening to the whole show very loud. As loud as possible! You will never hear music the same way again.

In 1998 I got my first cellphone that could have songs as ring tones. I chose a MIDI version of Kashmir as my first ringtone. 24 years and 12 phones later, Kashmir is still my ringtone..

I'm not a drummer or any other kind of musician (or singer for that matter). But I love to learn about music, both the craft and the theories behind. Channels where pros/teachers analyze (or just react to) drums/guitars/bass/keyboard/singing or entire songs (like What makes this song great series by Rick Beato). Me and my brother challenged each other to expand what we were listening to. But since his death in 2016, I more and more rely on channels like this challenge & educate me.

Andrew, pleased to hear your in good shape. The Leds were past their best by '79; in fact, by about '77. Kashmir is from their Physical Graffiti double-album that was released in '75. I'm not a drummer either, Andrew; indeed, I'm not a musician at all but I still like to watch your reactions and hear your analysis. We watch, we listen, we learn. Regarding the coffee and the chocolate, I've never visited your wonderful country; however, my mate did a motorcycle tour around the country a couple of years ago and he told me that it was the best coffee and chocolate that he's ever had.

Saw zep in 75, best concert ever. I'm not a drummer but love your channel. Don't hate.

It's fun to play Kashmir on headphones and watch a clock with a second hand that moves once a second. I swear they are messing with time.

Heard Vinnie say in an interview this was the show to check out Bonham

Led Zeppelin was ahead of their time.

The droning D bass at 1/8 ties it all together

At the time of this preformance in august 1979....Jimmy was still herioin addict and bonham was drunk all the time...and yet they dilivered preformance like this...its amazinz

"slow songs slower" ... wise words ! I am about to 're record one of my old songs .. my demo was nice and slow and gritty and groove laden.. when I recorded for real I increased tempo (unconciously) . And for the last 1o plus years have never liked what I put down.. The demo was rough but powerful , the final recording was "perfect" but busy and underwhelming ! You have a wise head on those shoulders . 👍🏻☮❤

Great track. Drums 4/4 Guitar 3/4 timing. Really cool.

"Who is doing this today?" Well, I guess if more musicians were we wouldn't still be taking about and listening to this.

Pure emotion.

I'm not a drummer but I am watching this )))

I was there .. so privileged !!

I was at this gig and Kashmir was the standout track..

I was there. I'm proud to say.

Hey Andrew. I know it’s been more than a minute since you reacted to this, but I’d really love for you to watch the Celebration Day 2007 performance of this song. John Bonham’s son Jason plays the drums. It’s incredible to watch! Also, I just love listening to the drums. I know none of the technical stuff but I know greatness when I hear it.

THE BEAST

I'm sure you've heard this dozens of times but I haven't seen it mentioned in this video. I would like to hear you react to When The Levee Breaks. I don't believe that there are any live versions to listen to but the way the got the echo is a great story.

try 'Rock n Roll' knebworth 1979, and Sick Again Knebworth 1979, this was their last concert in the UK, then bonzo passed in September 1980

I was there!

It's worth noting that, for this tune, both live and on the record, they are running his cymbal mics through a phaser effect. Hence the "swishy" sound.

Bonham’s drum sizes are a 6.5”-14” Supraphonic snare, a 14”-26” bass drum wide open with one felt strip on the kick side, a 12”-15” rack tom, a 16”-16” floor and a 16”-18” floor tom. He tuned them all very high like a jazz drummer and all wide open yet he used coated Emperors on all the toms and snare. He might have done an Emp on the kick as well but that I forget honestly.

nobody layin the smack down like these guys back in the day

The footage being so clean is probably because it was caught on 40mm film

I bought this album back in high school when it came out in 1975. Had a part time job making around $2 an hour and $13 or $14 for a double album meant a lot of hours or less money spent on something else. It was well worth it!
