Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Experience brought personal tales of he and his pops, Zep drum legend
John Bonham, to life in a multimedia extravaganza that had people on their feet for multiple screaming ovations, standing on chairs, chanting along in unison glee, “Bonzo! Bonzo! Bonzo!”
After archival footage that included a toddler Bonham rump-shaking to a backing track of
, son-of-Bonham Jason shared tales of the first Led Zeppelin song he remembers hearing “Your Time is Gonna Come – "that’s scary for a 2-year-old, lemme tell ya,” as hi-def angels floated on a background screen.
He launched into the tune with his previously un-named supporting band, which, if anything, could have stolen the show from underneath him. They didn't.
JBLZE was an intense, three-hour rollercoaster ride through rock ‘n’ roll history, lead by Bonham’s golden-hued monster drum kit and Zep-era psychedelic gong and replete with Tony Catania playing his gnarly and distorted guitar blues, Michael Devin’s screaming and blasphemously nimble bassplaying, Stephen LeBlanc’s emotive lap steel, keyboard and blues harp and James Dylan’s immaculately rendered vocals.
The concert was one of the best-received concerts I’ve ever seen, even if the crowd was a bit on the “intimate” (read: small) side. It’s a difficult concept to sell, especially with so many “tribute” acts out on the road today. But this was the real deal, explosively emotional, and giving a rare insight into the lives of one of the best rock ‘n’ roll drummers of all time and the music that made him famous.
Songs included “Celebration Day,” “Black Dog,” “Your Time is Gonna Come,” a sweltering version of “Dazed & Confused,” “The Lemon Song,” “What Is And What Should Never Be,” “Thank You,” a thunderous dad-son drum duet of “Moby Dick” (if there’s ever been a reason for an extended drum "solo," here it is!), “Good Times, Bad Times,” “How Many More Times,” “Since I’ve Been Loving You,” “The Ocean,” “When The Levee Breaks,” “I’m Gonna Crawl,” “Stairway To Heaven,” “Whole Lotta Love,” “Kashmir” and more.
