Saw them in Knebworth , 2nd week in 1979! I was 14 and was took there in protest by my older brother and cousin. We hitched down and slept over night in a girls school garden (not knowing it) next morning hitched and got to Knebworth. Low and behold; it was like the set from a Cecil B. dmile film! thousands upon thousands of people everywhere. We got into the main grounds as that didn't require a ticket! We didn't have tickets.. Later on after being fed by a group of born again Christians and also experiencing Chas & Dave for the first time, we met Ron, he was Peter Grants' Chauffeur! He was great, he got us not only tickets but the bands autographs too. Later on I was to experience Led Zep in full effect and John Bonham for the first time! Well, I'm 50 now and have been a successful session drummer for that long because of that drum solo. Thanks John, I owe you big time. A massive life changing inspiration.

Paweł Morrison It was fairly common in the 60's to hear a lot of extraneous noises in recordings, especially coming off a drum kit. Part of the reason, I surmise, is that rock bands were much louder than in the 50's, and isolating drum sets was still tricky business. Most modern music has none of these "problems" today because isolation booths are far better, much of the work is done in multi-track layers anyway (drums recorded totally separate), and digital noise gating eliminates much of it. I don't mind "clean" recordings per se, but you often lose a lot of feel in some types of music when musicians aren't playing together in real-time. Paul Simon's engineers had a real challenge on their hands when recording the "Graceland" album. African musicians feed off of each other, so they had to find a way to record them in the same room while providing enough separation to mix the album properly. If you've ever heard a hi-def recording of this album, you'd know how fantastic the job was done.

Exactly. The reason most modern day rock drummers can't groove like Bonham is they lack that jazz background. Bonham was a true student of his craft. If you listen to Art Blakey, Gene Krupa,Cozy Cole, Rufus Jones, Louis Bellson, Joe Morello, and especially Sam Woodyard and Sonny Payne, you can hear so many things that John took from them. He was able to translate all of this into rock, using ghost notes, power, and inserting a funky/jazzy backbeat to sound better than your average rock drummer

Of course...that's my point. He can create the most solid groove even with minimun snare, which normally has the backbeat. A more conventional drummer would play two snare beats per bar (2 an 4), a totally cliched pattern. He does not. He uses the kick and hi hat creatively, and comes up with a totally original beat and a signature sound for that song that anyone could recognize without the rest of the arrangement.

Though Jazz music played its part in influencing John Bonham's drumming style, Motown, Soul & R&B had as much of an influence as Jazz music did. John Paul Jones stated that in many interviews he did when asked about Bonzo's influences.He'd say that when they were on tour all they would listen to was Motown music. Anyone that has any sense or knowledge about music can hear the mojo & swing in his drumming. Love it!! :)

It has taken until my 40s and 50s to really understand what they meant. It isn't anything tangible - it's how when he played, it transcended keeping time and became so amazingly musical. It's primal, it's just sheer animal musicality. What an amazing drummer. Thank God we had him as long as we did. I can actually listen to his isolated tracks all the way through, because it just grooves so frickin' awesome.

When I listen to Hendrix, sure there's technique but that's not what blows me away - that makes me feel like he can never be touched. It's almost the bits in BETWEEN the notes. The phrasing, the heart-breaking feel he has. Nothing to do with shredding which to me equals = MATHS, PHYSICS not music. (exception =eruption)
