*Thank You Guys!!! I’m going to do a Poll inside Patreon for our next few songs to rock out LED ZEP WEEK! Don’t MEET me there! BEAT ME THERE!! 🖤*

He dropped his sticks and is playing the kit with his hands. No bongos

Uh-Oh . . . . . THIS PERFORMANCE HAS TO BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED. Once the drums start, it's BONZO, ALL BONZO, no one else. Check out the live version. You'll SEE why.

"Sounds like a blues joint" all of Rock music has its roots in the blues.

THE LIVE VERSION 1970 ROYAL ALBERT HALL 15 MINUTES

The live version to actually see him at work is so amazing

“Bring it on Home” comes in sooo smooth on the album after this song

ALSO . . . . . The live version is much longer !

Each of the 4 are massively talented but together they form a sound that is out of this world. 🌍

Get ready for a face melting experience when you see it live. Do it! #liveversion

"Going to California" one of their best. Can never go wrong with " misty mountain hop"

There is an extended live version, it’s amaaaaaaaazing. Bonzo is the GOAT

Yeah man, these guy's are beyond just Rock & Roll.. Bonham starts the solo with his hands then picks up the sticks ,, crazy guy

He is a beast... he said fuck the sticks. He wanted to "feel" the drums. 🤟

He starts out with the drumsticks and then he starts playing with his hands, Robert plant the lead singer was absolutely obsessed with american blues from the 50s, basically for genius level artists who got together and created the greatest rock and roll band in history

Bonzo was a god on the drums, when you think you hear thunder that's just Bonzo's left foot :)

Like others have said... the Blues had a baby and called it "Rock 'n' Roll". And Yes, his nickname is "Bonzo" and he's drumming with his hands.... that's how good he was!! You gotta see it live, even if just for yourself! Long live Led Zeppelin!

Thanks for pulling the Led out yet again! 🙌🏼❤️. When it comes to Led Zep during their hiatus, live is more amazing ‘cause you get to see how well they jammed. As others just posted, there’s a couple of great live MOBY DICK performances. The 1970 Royal Albert Hall performance is incredible but at the same time, the live performance from The Song Remains The Same is so awesome because they show little recorded clips of Bohnham at home and doing things and hobbies that he loved and - I don’t know - it’s so very personable and I feel so lucky to see a glimpse of what the man enjoyed doing in relatively short life. Either one is fan - flipping - tastic. 🔥💎🔥💎🔥💎🔥LED Zep Week?!!! 😃. This will be fun! Thank you.✌🏼

#LIVEVERSION MOST DEFINITELY!!! This way you can see him seamlessly transition from going from playing his full set with his bare hands into picking up his sticks and continuing the solo without any breaks.

Your gonna love “You shook me”. Try it and you’ll love the soul in it.

Love this reaction! Just to answer your question, when it sounds like Bonzo's playing bongos...you're not gonna believe this...he's actually playing his drum set with his bare hands (when I learned how to play drums, I actually figured out how to do that, just because I wanted to figure out all of Bonzo's tricks). You really ought to check out the live version, it will blow your mind even more! There are a couple live films of this which are equally entertaining: there's the version from the movie "The Song Remains The Same" which alternates between shots of John Bonham playing in concert and candid shots of Bonham at home, hanging at the pub, riding his bike, driving his classic cars and racing cars on a track; or an earlier concert film which just shows Bonzo at work on his drums, up close and personal. #watchtheliveversion

PS Bonzo blows the minds of all drum nuts with this one. Why’d we have to lose him so soon? Think of all the music we didn’t get to hear. Well at least we have this! ❤️

Hey Van, you’ve got a good ear. Rock and metal stem from blues. The blues scale is used heavily in those genres. The history of it is pretty cool.

Gotta do the #Liveversion of Moby Dick!!! It shows why he's considered one of THEE greatest drummers for a reason 😏

They started out as a blues-based band. And JPJ was known as "Jonesy."

I saw them live in 1974. He played that song for 22 minutes while everyone else left the stage for a break. Absolutely stunning.

LedZepp weeeeek!! :-)))))))))

1 man, 1 drum set, 2 feet, 2 hands, ONE BADASS SOLO

You can only appreciate how good this is from the live versions my friend. Trust me.

The Blues had a baby. They named it Rock and roll.

He plays the first “bongos” part with his hands on a full drumset! Hes just playing with his hands is all. When you hear the clear snare part that when he picks up the sticks half way through.

Between Autumn 1968 to Autumn 1971 (only THREE damn years!), they recorded and put out their first FOUR albums. That blows my mind every time I try to put that into perspective. It took me three years to commit to a new living room color! lol But the same goes for so many other bands of that revolutionary music era. It must have been amazing to live in that time of bold experimentation!

He's playing with his hands. Beast mode.

Yes, Definitely watch the live version!!

Highly recommend the life version 1970. Is a masterpiece

The great bluesman Willie Dixon said it best "Blues is the roots and all other music is the fruits".

Yes , you should have done the live version 😂

Live version is a must!!🥁

You really need to see the LIVE version to appreciate what he's actually doing.

LOL, I'm enjoying you costume changes. Love Led Zeppelin too!

in concert, when it is just drums, the others would leave the stage. Also, they were very good a 'reading' each other, so they knew when to jump in. #live version!

I think we have a big zep fan now. I'm glad you discovered one my favorite bands!!

Do The alive version!! You will love it!! He is quite simply the GOAT! I never get tired of watching this performance!!! He does play the drums with his hands at one point and watch how he goes from that to picking up his sticks it….total FIRE!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The live version is amazing just because you get to see him be amazing.

To fully appreciate Mody Dick you have to see it live, then you full see what a genius he was

A lot of back american blues singers came over to the UK 50s and 60s we all loved it had already been listening to every record we could lay our hands on but to see them was something else. There was also the wonderful Sister Rosetta Tharpe.

Rock music have two main divisons of inspiration, Blues & classical music.

This one absolutly deserves the live version

Oh, and the drums are all Bonzo. Live performance is incredible

#live version John is one of the best drummers. He is, was & always will be.

Live version from the movie The Song Remains the Same. Will blow you away. Well the whole movie/concert is a must see. Hearing is one thing seeing is believing, watch Dazed and Confused live from MSG where Jimmy shows his creative genius and JPJ Carrie's the the bass line like you wouldn't believe. Then in No Quarter its Jonesy song to amaze you. This will be a movie you will watch over and over. Reliving a Led Zeppelin concert or seeing them live for the first time is a life changing experience. It will change the way you perceive music forever. You really see the best musicians putting their heart and soul into every thing they do. It truly is magical how it tune with each other these guys were. Everyone one of these guys were ment to be together. Without any one person it would not be the same. That is why when Bonzo passed in 1980 the band could no longer continue.Bonzo and Jimmy played off each other in a way that could never be replaced. Robert's vocal screams and moans to Jimmy's guitar could never be replaced. And Jonesy he was the glue that kept everything together a musical genius in his own right who doesn't receive the credit he deserves as a composer this is why this band at this time in music history (68-1980)forever influenced generations of musicians. Enough said.what is guy if you listen to interviews with page plant they didn't even know at the time just how special and good they were. They would just go out on stage and love what they do and have fun. Shows quickly started getting longer and longer. They would play by feel and take their music to totally new places. A 5 minute song live it became a 30 minute song. Their live shows were up to 3 hours long sometimes longer. You never what you were going to see, because every show would be different. The addlib and improvising throughout their live performances was the unique part of what led Zeppelin was all about. You don't get that from the studio recordings. This is why you will notice 2 different types of Zeppelin fans you have the studio fans that don't like the changing of the songs they love and can sing along with. Then there are the Led Heads who just can't get enough of their musical creativity like you see in their live shows

I think you were recommended the studio version of this so that we could also get the live version in the future. You really do need to see the live version. It's incredible though no matter which version you're listening to.

You Finally discovered LED Zeppelin!

John Bonham (Zeppelin), Ginger Baker (Cream) & Keith Moon (The Who) invented modern rock drumming. Every drummer since are descendants of what these guys did

This one HAS to be seen live although it's pushing 20 minutes #liveversion

Him "they don't even have to sing on this" Led Zeppelin "we're glad you feel that way"

The live version for this one is astonishing.

This is a very short version. Saw them live 3 times in the early 70's and Bonzo's drum solos went on for 15 minutes or more. They were always epic!!!

Need to see this live. Bought zep albums and thought "ROCK AND ROLL!". Then realized BLUES! entirety different way of listening

Thanks for doing this. The live version is so much better as you can see the master at work

When he does this live, he will use his palm or elbow to change the tone/note of the drum while playing it. From a drummer, mos def #LIVEVERSION Use the one from Song Remains the Same concert video

You really do need to see it live ❤️😀 #live 🎧

Yeah zeppelin was funky as hell...being a bassist I get it. Inovators of the day. Drummer was amazing! His son is too. Bonum was incredible...I saw plant and page with Jason on that tour and it was crazy... goosebumps just thinking about it!

Led Zep - Four Sticks!!! The name of the song comes from Bonzo wielding 4 drumsticks apparently! Besides Robert's vocals on the studio version are just amazing!

Playing w his hands . Live version is amazing.

If you like drum solos the live version is legendary in the realm of drum solos.

I rarely ever recommend live versions. However, this is one of those rare times. You HAVE to watch the live version.

Jimmy was just introducing Bonzo his way. I hope you can watch him do this live. Bonham and Niel , two of the greatest to me.

They're a mixture of American Blues and Rock and roll, with a sprinkling of English/British folk music. I understand Bonzo was hugely influenced by Jazz drummers. I'm sure you e seen the live version now, he's number one. We're lucky they found each other. Best band ever!

You should totally watch the live version. It’s one the most incredible things I’ve ever seen.

#LiveVideo SO SO SO glad you heard this one!!! Bonzo's Montreaux is an AMAZING performance by Bonzo on CODA

Check out the live version. A lot of what you hear that you think is him with the sticks are actually with his feet on the bass drum and stick combined. It is nuts and highly recommended

American southern blues, British folk and rock! the best ever!

You gotta see Bonzo do it live, man. Unbelievable!

dazed and confused live from the song remains the same shows led zeppelin at their best, it will give you a understanding of their greatness

I have no idea why anyone would suggest anything but the live version. Zeppelin is a blues band, always was.

LIVE! He’s not just the greatest rock drummer ever (gotta shout out Neil tho I hope you discover Rush soon!) but he’s in contest with the great jazz drummers too.

love how you said... my friend said this was about Bonzo and it's about Jimmy Page... I was literally sitting here saying Wait for it....lmao.

Live!!!! Check out the Song Remains the Same performance from 1973. Bonzo plays on while the other three go backstage for a break lol.

You should watch the concert version so you could watch him perform live!!

So many British artists were blues influenced and in a way brought American blues back to the US in great new hard rock form...

If you enjoy the drums here you should check out "Bonzo's Montreux" off of the Coda album, or where it was combined with Moby Dick on the first box set from LZ in the 90's. It still blows me away to this day.

Long live John Bonham he is the drummer that made me pick up the sticks and start playing the drums

You need to see the live version , he does it all

Zep suggestion: "Achille's Last Stand"

As a drum guy, did you ever see the "Animal vs Buddy Rich" drum battle (from the Muppets)?

Must do the LIVE version you will love it!!!!!

Do bring it home, n how many more times....studio versions...

Bonzo's 19min drum solo live is LEGENDARY. CHECK IT OUT

Love your reaction to Zeppelin so much. It made me subscribed If you are a Drummer then listen to Bonham in Fool in the Rain. He plays in polyrhythmic with triplets on the High Hat ghost notes on the snare and a swung halftime shuffle on the bass and snare.

no apologies necessary. You're a quick study and always respectful of all artists... which is more than anyone can say of ME😛😃. I like your style of reaction, may others just go thru the motions, YOU actually LISTEN to the recordings. PEACE, LFR Fam.

Live live live version!! Love your zeppelin reviews you keep me coming back to you!

Do the live one, bro. He plays with hands only for a bit.

You have to see one of my favourite performances by Zeppelin, this my be one of if not the absolute first appearance as Led Zeppelin, up until this point the were called The new yardbirds. Robert and Bonzo is only 19, Jimmy and John in their early twenties. Denmark radio 1969. 🔥🔥🔥

lol!! It’s ONE guy...making ALL those sounds!!!

I don't want to give it away..but he plays the 'bongoes' and the drum set at the same time....watch the live.....it is extraordinary. #livevideo

Love ur reactions to led zep. Been a huge fan since early 70s. Their influence was blues. Amazing. Have every vinyl of theirs. Epic .bonzo was master of the sticks. GOD OF THUNDER.

John Paul Jones lays down the sweet bassline too ... this song highlights the talents of the musicians in the band. Plant gets way more opportunities to show off his chops.

Live versions are fun but the sound quality usually is not very good (compared to the studio) and live there is lots of improv/jamming so it won’t be versions that most people are familiar with. But with this particular song...#liveversion for sure!! Happy you’re getting so into Zep!

Watch it live and let it slide right into bring it on home🔥
