JASON BONHAM’S LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE
Seattle 2010 [no label, 2CD]
Live at the WaMu Theater, Seattle, WA; November 27, 2010. Very good stereo soundboard.
The Led Zeppelin legacy continues…
Recently, a 2DVD/2CD set of the Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Experience surfaced as From East To West. The DVD featured the November 8, 2010 set at the Best Buy Theater, New York, while the CD showcased the November 27, 2010 Seattle show.
While Jason Bonham needs no introduction to the Led Zep oeuvre, he does spend the start of the show and in-between-songs banter to talk about his late father, John (also affectionately known as “Bonzo”).
This is what Jeffrey Clark Grossman of WENN.com commented on the November 8 New York show:
It was literally a drum solo with four sticks: Jason Bonham thundering through “Moby Dick,” from Led Zeppelin II, with his late father, John “Bonzo” Bonham, during the first set of Jason Bonham: The Led-Zeppelin Experience at New York’s Best Buy Theater on November 8. The elder Bonham appeared via audio and film clips of the drummer playing the song live with Led Zeppelin, while his son doubled and elaborated on the snare gunshots and kick-drum-and-tom bombs in synchronized real time…
“This is my story, what my dad and Led Zeppelin meant to me,” Jason said in a prerecorded overture, accompanied by family photos and films of the childhood and teenage Bonzo… But the night - which went the distance from “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” and “The Lemon Song” to “The Ocean” and “Kashmir” - is mostly about his dad’s titanic presence in that music and the giant absence created by his death. “Thank You” came with more home movies, while Jason, a keen student of Zeppelin concert bootlegs, revived and built on his father’s live improvisations on “How Many More Times” and the extended closing turbulence of “Dazed and Confused.”
“I got to play with my heroes,” Jason remarked about the ’07 concert, except “one of them wasn’t there.” In this show, he gets to have Bonzo in the house every night - a reunion, at last, of father and son.
The Seattle show is no less moving or explosive. Thanks to Evil Dr. Louie for sharing the tracks.
