Led Zeppelin Dazed and Confused Live Reunion Concert London

[BrianMorrison71]

Wow, this is bad...

[kokobirra]

many years of live to the master page!

[RezaMatix]

WHOA @1:11, jason really drops the ball there..way to ruin the whole vibe dude...

[gunsnatcher2112]

its sad what time will do. but they still got it.

[boob1019]

Jimmy , sloppy as usual ... Robert Plant needs some Dr. 90210 there I said it...

[urajokeMC]

I can't beliver Jayson cant play thoes "crossovers" in time????why did he even try? he lost time bad, the sounded like amatures. Jayson is not his did, he needs to find his own ID as a drummer.....There has nevere been a drummer IMO who grooved like Bonham, and NEVER had to play the same ting twice! LOOK AT PEART! 25 years and still doing same ecact solo

[J0S30BDULIO]

He definetively screw the crap out, man this is so bad, just cause bonzo dead, Led Zep was over, cause never would find someone with the same chemistry.

[ShaemusTOFinnigan]

Hey..don't get me wrong..I wasn't ragging on Jason as drummer in general..I just pointed out that he f***ked up this particular segment of this one song, I don't mean to suggest that he screws up all the time, or that he isn't a pretty good drummer. He is (in my opinion) no where near to his pops level, however very, very few rock percussionists are.

[ShaemusTOFinnigan]

Jason messes up here SO many times. Yes around 0:52, but Page moves on, skips the usual segment that normally fllows the ext lead break, to smooth over the miscue. But the REAL trouble begins AFTER that at 1:06! Page is like "WTF!?" and turns his whole body around to face Jason, and is actually prompting Jason by emphatically SHOWING him the chord progression! Jason is SO confused and lost that he actually STOPS playing at 1:11. Bonham & Page were SO dynamically in tune..it WAS the MAGIC of Zep

[J0S30BDULIO]

We all need to remember that without Big Bonzo it will never be the same, also that that man i think does not know how to play the drums...

[LeathanL]

Sorry to be so analytical, it just all seems so familiar. Anyone ever been in a garage band?! It's the kind of thing that happens all the time when you introduce an element of improv into the music, as Zeppelin always has.

[LeathanL]

I actually find the miscues starting at :52 kind of quaint. It's a textbook example of a "trainwreck" with one mistake cascading to into others.

If you consider that the power chords are supposed to start at :52, then yes, it's Jason that ends up a figure behind with his fills. The thing is, it's Jimmy that initially fails to pick up on Jason's really clear intro cue. It's as if he's trying to give Page a "do-over", kind of mentally restarting the power chords at :57.

[ShaemusTOFinnigan]

"quaint" ?!? Dewd That word should NEVER.. be used to describe anything about Led Zeppelin's music! Even their famous acoustic sets which have powerfull ranges of emotion, could be done ANY justice by utilizing the word "quaint". "Quaint" is definitely NOT a word that will EVER fit into the Led Zeppelin lexicon.

[gibsongold1970]

i saw the "un-ledded tour" on

back to back nights.

i was lucky to see page and plant.

however, the reunion tour was just

impossible to get tickets,considering

that it was a "one time thing"

and everybody wanted tickets.

[dupeddavid]

it was jasons fault even watch the lights. the light man starts that crazy light shit when the triplets would start, but quickly stops it when jason doesn't come in to the part.

[ericjungleboy]

I think you're wrong about that. It looks more like the light man was messing up. That's not where the triplets should come in from what I can tell.

[RockerForLife44]

Jason Bonham entered the triplets late but I think this still sounded great. LED ZEPPELIN FOREVER!!!!!

[adamahills]

jason never made the mistake, he made the change at exactly the right time. It was Jimmy who fucked up, trust me. I have listened to enough versions to know.

[ShaemusTOFinnigan]

MOST Zep fans has heard "enough" versions. Do you assume that your the ONLY person that has bootlegs?? I 've been listening to boots (I have about 90 full shows) since I was 13 (20 yrs ago). You have the right to your opinion. But the way Zep ALWAYS was, and the way Page has ALWAYS been with ANY drummer, most ESPECIALLY with Bonzo, to end his extended solo breaks..is that : He turns his head to the drummer, gives a head nod. Jason TOTALLY messed up here, whereas his pop WOULDN"T have -trust ME

[NateageIV]

What Mistake????? what time is it at??

[daglx]

the apple will never as strong as the tree.

[gaviscon79]

listen to the mistake!!

[lzfan88]

Im so pissed Plant is bein a douche he dont wanna join em for the world tour wtf?

[CesarV91]

awesome dude!

[mainecondor]

it wast mixed well but they rule forever...

[Lafondle]

Of course they sounded better in 1969, experance is great but the youth of 21 has more passion

[bennyh12345]

Jones' bass is amazing in this song

[Grooviliciousness]

Even though this section is the "guitar solo" Jones's bass always snatched my attention and blew my mind through this section.

[Exco420]

The bass line is from another dazed and confused song, jimmy just rehashed a song by another band.

[Grooviliciousness]

Dazed and Confused was originally released as a folk song w/ nothing but acoustic guitar. Jimmy then did an acid-rock cover of it with Yardbirds which remained relatively unchanged when he moved to Zep. However, the dotted quarter note bassline is not what I was referring to. Listen closely to the bass guitar under the guitar solo.

[Exco420]

well what ever, but i know what you mean,i play the bass line alot, its one of my favourites

[babylon122]

the yardbirds version was slow and very bluesy. almost a ballad. I actually own a live yardbirds album with "I'm Confused" on it from'68

[lespaul59burst]

Song was originally by a folk singer Jake Holmes. The yardbirds saw him perform it live somewhere on long island in the late 60's and they did a rock version of it. Consequently, ended up on zeps 1st album.

[detzlink]

Songs was originally played by Jake Holmes at a bar in USA, jimmy heard the song while touring with the yardbirds and he only changed the lyrycs, add the viola part and inserted the solo which was from another song of him

[pichulones2]

esas viejas mulas ya no son lo que eran.....

[Jecht301010]

Traduction: "those old *****sacks (the closest term) aren't what they used to be"

feel free to thumb him down to death!

[neilzep]

punta

[beeterolds]

your a fucking asshole..speak english chump!

[johnnymonny11]

yeah there was kinda of mess up there but w.e its still good

[FrostyFire7]

ha, at 1:06 paige messed up, he was suposed to go back to the main guitar riff. either that or it was jason...i dont think ive ever seen him mess up b 4 though...but who cares. the guys is friggen amazing

[PorkChops250]

No it was Jason. That's why he stopped, to get back in time.

[stmajor2010]

it was neither! led zeppelin would never mess up!

[fishboy91]

Yeah - It was Jason. I saw him in an interview talking about it. He admitted it was all him and not Jimmy.

[poussyledzep]

well!!!amazing!!!

[SweeperMelis]

yeah, bit of a fuck up, but Page wasn't great on the night at all either...The whole of dazed and confused is played badly by them I think...HOWEVER LED ZEP are the masters of rock n roll and the best band ever in the history of the world

[poussyledzep]

well!!what a shit comments!!maybe you go sing in their place, will be more better!! or those shit of new bands completely mad!!

[jofujenkins]

man, i dig jason bonham a lot, but he REALLY fucked this song up. at 1:06 he goes into that signature bonham fill a measure too late which throws off the rest of the band. if you watch the zep DVD with john bonham you'll see the "tells" that page had when bonzo messed up parts to songs, and he had the same exact reaction when jason screwed that fill up. and what sucks here is that half the audience knows the songs better than the guys on stage do!!

[oxalicman]

Yeah. 1:06 is bad and it's an awful drum timing. I mean I can't understand how Jason figured to do the fill at the same time as the transition guitar solo, which is supposed to be alone.

[jofujenkins]

and i read all the time how jason bonham spent months and months listenng to only zep songs from live and studio performances to get ready for this tour. i'm an ADEQUATE drummer but nowhere near his caliber... but i can count to 4! i wish somebody had interviewed page or JPJ after this gig to get their reaction to this mistake. they played it off okay, but that's only because they're such a great improv band. poor guy must have felt like shiz...

[PiotrAugustynowicz]

oh men they make a big mistake in dazed and confused. hehe

[iffy195]

ya it looked like he was off key a bit haha

[PorkChops250]

He's playing in a lower tune to make up for Robert's voice.

[cheif102]

Jason is as close to bonzo as we get... so they picked him so they could have the closest thing to the original lineup... I would die from the amazinness of this concert

[kololero]

FUCK YEEEAAAAH!!!!!!

[bdknocks]

Want the best BEST SOUND and VIDEO? Go to my page and check it out! I took all the video I could find and a GREAT sounding audio track and made a nice MULTI-CAM edit of this song and others from the show. I am also working on more songs so check back!

[valleysofneptune]

James Marshall Hendrix RIP.

[ericjungleboy]

I have a sound recording of this show with very clear audio quality (but not enough bass unfortunately), and I can assure you that they kicked ass on this song from start to finish. There's a lot of subtleties to Page's guitar and Plant's voice you can't hear in this camcorder version. Hope a DVD comes out so you can all hear it.

[minookawreslinkid99]

they better of kicked ass they rehersed a ton, and its been like 25 years.

[Zoso9090]

Please share it if you have it!

[steviefabulous1990]

who else could do john bonham's drums better than his own son anyways?

[k5steel]

PAGE IS GOD! JASON IS POSER!

[amozartii]

Page still has that style, THE GOD!

[elviszeppelin]

Jason went one too many times before the cool cross over fill. Otherwise he kicked ass on this concert.

[uzielis]

Behold, son of John Bonham giving it a worthy shot on his [brand new?] Ludwigs. Hm, nice drums, Jason. Play all of Led Zeppelin II! But they may play most of it.

[ReeseMac]

I think Jason got "Dazed and Confused" at 1:05....yuck yuck yuck...its ok. Give him another shot and he'll nail that part like he's supposed to.

[iSkatedashpinecone]

to bad plant cant hit those high notes anymore...

[lenArnie]

OK, not looking to heighten the tension here, but keep in mind Jason played with Page Plant in 95 and 97 on the Page Plant tour. Think about how freaked he has to be for a myriad of reasons, filling his fathers shoes and taking his place as his son. we can all think our favorite drummer can do better, my pick would be Mike Portnoy. They chose Jason for a reason long ago and he is good and deserves the right to play. Page said he was blown away by how well he is filling in. 'nuf said. Peace.

[msturn1975]

Jason did not play with Plant/page in 95! It was Plant's drummer, Michael Lee, that started with him on his 93 fate of nations album. Also Page and plant toured in 98 not 97

[lenArnie]

Hi, you are correct about it being 98 not 97 -sorry, I just looked at my ticket,Lee didthe No Quarter tour 95. IN 95. Jason played hall of fame induction and others, Jasons wedding 1990 page, plant bonham, jones all played. Outrider tour Page - he toured w/ him... 98 PAGE PLANT Tour too. The Point was, there is history and he had the right to play and he is good!

[cub005]

great job from J Bonham - if they tour he'll get even better..

[Zoso9090]

I thought they were touring...

[prince0427]

It was totally awesome they let Jason play the drums for this concert, but if they're really thinking of doing a couple of extra concerts like Jimmy said in an interview. Then I really hope they let Phill Collins be on drums. Cause this guy isn't anything like his father..

[zoso1978]

you have to be joking about Phil, I actually think Steve Gad would be good. He is SO funky like bonzo was on this track in '73

[prince0427]

Right on there man! Gadd would be soo fucking cool on a small tour with Led.. but I know for sure that Phill would have done a 10x better job then Jason did. I'm a guitarist and don't know much about drums but I do however know that Jason sucks!

[zoso1978]

Jason's is trying too hard, but he does nail some of the fills.

[carbiduis]

you are a retard... any drummer filling in for John Bonham would be trying too hard

[zoso1978]

me don't think so....

[klopek24]

i agree about the drummer on the page and plant tour: he had massive feel and was spot on, hahaha, what a cut to not be prepared for zep & he is FAMILIY!

[bigboner1967]

i noticed a lot of you are pointing out the flaws of them. Dude it's not like they played together a lot lately. This is great. If they go on tour i betcha that they will be better because they would have time to practice

[amozartii]

Oh he has mistakes, but they are great!

[amozartii]

Mistakes & sloppyness is what makes Page great!!!

[eloco007]

Page have no mistakes

it's improvisation!

[nevermindthebs]

It's Jason for sure. Just count with Page. When he raises his hand, that's "1." Jason mistook Page's raised hand as a cue. Jason's ahead of them now. Page and JPJ figure out what's happening and catch up with Jason. Jason figures it out but overcompensates. Page, JPJ AND RP have clearly moved on. Jason got caught up in what SHOULD be happening and stopped listening. Then for some reason, he plays too much anyway. However, do check out Jason on KASHMIR -- he rocked! Just like his dad!

[zoso1978]

I agree 100 percent, he did the triplet fill late at the end of the solo. He stopped listening for sure, that was something so Great about Bonzo always watching always listening. Page said it was almost ESP sometimes, very hard to replace. Shit 5/24/75 bonzo messed up the same part, maybe that is what Jason was going for. LOL they said he knows EVERY bootleg

[blasty5150]

ugh.....

[margix]

jason bonham play at the moment with foreigner,I've seen them live and they are fuckin great,the singer,kelly hansen,is unbeleviable

[itchtbrother]

Page F-in RuLes!!Lifeson also!!

[ghdtjdqhd]

Jason Bonham is godly. John would be proud.

[rodrigospinola]

i have to thanks john bonhan to had leave a seed on earth to make this band get togeter again..can you realyse what important he still is for led..

[cunkhead]

even on a cell phone, page's tone is monster.

he's got two marshalls but does anyone know what the two white-faced amp heads are?

[sladejam]

yeah there Orange Amps,I think 50 Watt Jobs

[stratplayer34]

i believe the brand name of those amps are orange,they were very popular in the 60's and they were reissued in the last 10 years,page also used them on tour with the black crowes.

[carlos13fred]

shit, jason did the roll 1 bar late, and the last riff was on!! but... SSSUUUPPEERRRRR

[Rover775]

With just a little more work.... think what this song will become on tour .....It's alrerady awesome!!!

[audiofarm]

Omly A Bonham Can Fill A Bonham Shoes

[dementecaracol]

JAson i great but when they played with phill collins on the drums i think it was in 1985 it was great too! we don't know that much phill collins as a drums player but he is awesome. ALso the drummer who went on tour with page & Plant a few years ago (i don't know his name)is better than collins and JAson.

[zoso1978]

Michael Lee was the drummer and I remember he sounded better than Jason on the Hall of Fame Show when they played with Neil Young

[olfrostin]

Yeah, they did lose it for a little bit there, but that's the nature of live performance. It's all about how you recover from the unexpected. They did that just fine. Jason can't be perfect through the whole show, nor can anyone, but they stayed together as a unit. If anything, hopefully they will tour to correct that small mistake

[butch2112]

ya I cuaght that,i have the whole(audio)show,think its the only one,but it is a bit improve,they cuaght it,that's how it goes throwing in jams,planned jams,they caught it and tightened up ,that's how they played tight but loose,dangerous but great

[Hektor88]

that very obvious mistake actually soudns very cool IMHO. Jason playing fills in 4 while Jones and Page play a riff in 6. Page looks at him like "wtf?" but it made for a very cool power chord at the end there...

[GrayMuse]

no Nudie suit for Pagey this time around. But hearing these old familiar sounds could raise the dead! Do you hear THAT Bonham?

[munsta101]

These guys seem quite good. But not as good as the real Led Zep. Who are these guys anyway?

[Primetros]

DORK! THE REAL ZEP? This is as close as it gets to the Zep with the REAL BONZO.. but this one is actually great too! I am very pleased by this performance!! All this bitching is pissing me off....... I am sure Bonzo would be proud of what their doing. He was watching this for sure...

[Scaremonger456]

haha you're a moron!

[huttoc99]

For FUCK SAKE THEY ARE LED ZEPPELIN!!

[dementecaracol]

do a favor to all zeppelin's fans please... kill your self. you are a moron.

[munsta101]

okay - bang bang - im dead

[canadiantickler]

For 27 years everyone has been begging and pleaing for Plant, Page, Jones to do a gig together. Jason is the only rightful person who will ever be able to play with these 3 legends as he grew up on this band, the music and the legendary status that we know as ZEPELLIN!!! the late great John Bonham is smiling down and proud of his son and bandmates for making this come together.

[dbzisdakrunk]

Who else but his son can drum to Stairway and the rest? No one, plain and simple

[bonzo6880]

what a total clusterfuck

[zep9876]

Thanks for sticking up for me pantherashe

[pantherashe]

alll of yaw bad mouthin are full of it when can we see your bootleg concert footage online

[Frogface3]

Bit harsh I suppose. Might of had monitor trouble. Shame though. Prbably have to cut it from the DVD.

[Ingermusic]

For the Love of Sound!

Inger Hansen

[drumboogie78]

Ouch! Poor Jason! That drum fill is he does at the end of the solo is a hard timing transition to make. I have always messed that part up too when playing along with the recording. LOL!

Jason is still a great drummer. We will let him slide.

[zoso1978]

the worst part of the night, they recovered well, but jimmy got lost too. Went in to some gritty blues shit. Ok I guess, Plant held it together.

[Hektor88]

blue shit? since when is blues shit?

yes it ws a mistake, but to their credit they made it sound very cool. It very nearly fell apart

[zoso1978]

Actual I think it was Jimmy who missed it, he went into the break too soon

[daviddidonato]

It sounds like Bonham missed the cue coming out of the solo... I've heard tons of live performances from them in the past, and the original Zeppelin made mistakes too. They were never perfect live, but what do you think it means when you have to have a lottery to see a band 27 years after they break up and TWENTY MILLION PEOPLE apply?

[zoso1978]

He did the triplets too late

[jtriffo]

still sounded fine to me, sure a little off, but it was his first time playing live with this band...

[ReeseMac]

yeah you're right. I think Jason was a step behind at the point where he's suppose to pause during the guitar solo and Page plays on. You noticed Page turning towards Jason to get him to recognize where he's at in the solo. If they go on tour they can straighten that out with no problem.

[Frogface3]

Bonham completly messed up the end of the solo. Ridiculous. Not the only timing mistake he made in the gig either.

[zepfan4life]

"That was amazing," Grohl told The Sun. "Jason Bonham was fantastic on drums. I think he was even better than me."

So many unqualified opinions on you tube but most experts and fans agree with me so I feel good about my opinion; I loved it.

[danny3833333]

I agree with you zepfan4life. Jason played fantastically.

[Maggot911]

Thank you!

[torgnyeric]

Page isn't even on Earth

[merzerwer]

Great!
