John Bonham - Moby Dick - RARE 1977 Seattle! Part 1

[erikaylesworth91]

@eldererr yes jpj had a pretty bad heroin problem

[bama21]

@TheZeppelinlover Dude your ridiculous. John Bonham looked fucking amazing. Seriously. I wished I could shake his hand today. It's true his health declined, slightly (i.e. gained some weight) due to depression from spending so much time away from his family by drinking all the time. But his beard is fucking sweet. How can you be sad?

[paperpichu]

@TheZeppelinlover He just has a beer belly.

[Stewdogification]

Such a rock thing at 0:43

[z1ggy15]

I have this show on both cd and dvd. totally awesome show to say the least.

[ledzeppelin4304]

its hard to belive these guys were even real.

[sammydaveisjrjr]

john bonham is still fucking amazing. it is a bit sad chubby and prolly winded but still going.

[zeps80]

Thanx for posting ths excellent video..... my firend! excellent work! Greetings from Greece!

[JNolan1993]

@TheZeppelinlover No problem

[DOBERMAN7203]

JP at :44 lmao.. not near the stage presence he had in '73(Heroin). JB sounded good here though

[jetfreak4]

@DOBERMAN7203 I agree completely. The Bonzo pictured here is not the Bonzo I would want people to remember. The real Bonzo IMO, the one who is voted number 2 above all other rock drummers, is the one between 1968 and 1975 IMO. Especially between 1968 and 1973. His solos are far more technical, sophisticated, and explosive than the one here. Contributing to I think was the fact that he was in good health around that time. He was about 100 pounds lighter at least in 1970 than in 1977.

[kashmir33]

@jetfreak4 I AGREE.

[Mcezz606]

looks like hes yelling "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK" the whole time hes playing which he probably did cause hes awesome ; P

[TheSHEERHEARTATTACK]

Who knew this would be the final time he'd play this. sad. sooo sad.

[MrRichBiker]

i dont know ..i would say a good tose up between...keith moon, or john bonzo banham....but im going for the best......j.b..babie

[MrRichBiker]

play drums much?

[JNolan1993]

@MrRichBiker Are you asking me?

[JustinPierce1226]

Man, John Bonham pudged up a tiny bit lol. But ya know what? THat was his style. He didn't give a wank. All he wanted to do was party and have a good time. What a man.

[MrRichBiker]

@JustinPierce1226 yep,, thats when the heavy drinking started..buds and jack...whatta a combo!!!!!

[JustinPierce1226]

@MrRichBiker Damn shame. It seems like by 1979 they just were worn out. From 1977 and before, it was like a totally different band. Then, came knebworth. And then they seemingly reformed themselves and were heading for something even greater than what they had achieved before. But, between Jimmy and Bonzo being smacked up, it was sketchy performances. Nonetheless, classics and raw.

[taypax]

@JustinPierce1226 did Bonzo do smack? i thought it was just booze for him

[JustinPierce1226]

@taypax He occassionally did weed. But I really meant smacked up for Bonzo by him being soo drunk its hard for us to imagine how or why he was even still conscious at these concerts lol

[taypax]

@JustinPierce1226 yeah, i thought Page was the only heroin user...Bonzo was just amazing

[Eldererr]

@taypax did JPJ do any drugs too?

[taypax]

@Eldererr Page and Bonham were the major abusers...I'm sure Robert and JPJ did some, but nothing close to the other 2

[lpatterson328]

@taypax I read an interview with JPJ because I was also curious, and he said that he did as many or more drugs than the others. Maybe not smack like Jimmy, but he said he was just quiet about it and didn't care to have other people see or hear about it.

[sonoranguitarlois]

whats songs does the DVD have??

[JNolan1993]

@sonoranguitarlois The Song Remains The Same, The Rover, Sick Again, Nobodys Fault But Mine, Over The Hills And Far Away, Since Ive Been Loving You, No Quarter, Ten Years Gone, The Battle Of Evermore, Going To California, Bron Yr Aur Stomp, White Summer, Kashmir, Moby Dick, Achilles Last Stand, Stairway To Heaven, Whole Lotta Love, Rock and Roll !

[JustinPierce1226]

1977 was not too bad of a year for Led Zeppelin. They did quite alot and were definitely on when they were on.

[Obelix5150]

My favorite moby dick footage ever. Not only is it awesome that they used Out On The Tiles, but this footage is a great way to learn Bonhams solo because the quality of the sound allows you to distinguish between each of his drums, and the video shows a good view of his hands as he plays. Thumbs up from me.

[JNolan1993]

@Obelix5150 Thanks a lot man. Check out the Earls Court version I have up if you havent already; Really great solo as well

[LedZepfilm]

@Obelix5150 It's his last live solo ever too. :(

[Aspergian]

Glad you posted this one in top quality! :-) Wish I were able to get this concert from you in its entirety on DVD.

[JNolan1993]

@Aspergian Hey man thanks. Tell me what you want to see and I'll upload it
