A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO HIS LATE FATHER JOHN BONHAM AUSTRALIAN TOUR

Profile

“Led Zeppelin's magic was in effect ...a rousing two-hour-plus set of classics from the Zep canon. The encore of ‘Whole Lotta Love’ coupled with ‘Rock and Roll’ earned a standing ovation.” - Ritchie Yorke, Rolling Stone Magazine “...this band was exceptionally true to the original studio versions of songs during a two-hour performance. The group was right-on during the show opener, ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll,’ the blues-fused ‘The Lemon Song,’ the trippy ‘Dazed and Confused’ and ‘Whole Lotta Love,’ which was saved for the encore.” - Dan Aquilante, The New York Post

THE ARTIST - JOHN BONHAM
Jason Bonham is the son of rock legend and Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, who at a young age has been devoted to rock & roll, following the indelible mark his father left him. At 17 he founded his first band called Airrace, followed in 1985 with his next step to form Virginia Woolf, with whom he recorded two albums. But in 1988 when their blood called "classic rock harder", John Bonham decided to join Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page to record the album Outrider and go on tour. A year later met with other surviving members of the historic band, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones and the four offered a meeting of Led Zeppelin concert. Since then he has participated in various musical ensembles, accompanying legends like Paul Rodgers, Joe Perry and Slash. In December 2007, John Bonham was announced as the official replacements of his father in a major concert in London “The Led Zeppelin Reunion” at the Wembley Stadium, where more than 80.000 people attended to be part of this amazing event. He also participated in the "Rockstar" movie where he portrayed the band's drummer protagonist of the film, Steel Dragon. Since February 2010, Jason travels the world presenting JASON BONHAM'S spectacular LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE. Definitely a must see show. Led Zeppelin fans will not be disappointed!

Here’s a sampling what the press have been saying about JASON BONHAM’s LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE.

“Jason Bonham dropped the hammer of the gods on the Ogden Friday night. The son of John Bonham, the berserk-footed drummer of Led Zeppelin whose death in 1980 dethroned the greatest rock ‘n’ roll band of all time, directed a powerful, precise and yet personalized replica of Zeppelin that culled a rabid response from the full house.” - Jason Blevins, Denver Post

“This show was a gift to Zeppelin fans. It reminded us at once how incredible this music can be in the concert setting, and how significant the body of work Zeppelin created remains. ...People were freaking out from the beginning, as the band dove into a pair of sets that ended up leaving the gathered in a state of Zeppelin-esque befuddlement. The music is so completely awe-inspiring that any time one hears it done well, one reacts.”- Jeff Miers, Buffalo News.

“The original Zeppelin took huge liberties with its songs on stage and JBLZE plays with that in mind. They sound like a live band, not a museum piece. So in the end, maybe it is Jason’s story. And ours, of course.” – Bernard Perusse, Montreal Gazette.

“Fans who closed their eyes and allowed their imaginations to run wild could momentarily trick themselves into believing that they'd been transported to a mid-'70s Led Zeppelin concert.”- Bill Brownlee, Kansas City Star.

“...’BRILLIANT’ is a word that seems a bit underused in American culture. Ironic, since it is a word that adequately describes the sum of Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Experience. It took all of about 10 seconds of live music to drive this point home. After an introductory video segment, the show surged out of the gate with the iconic drum-solo opening of ‘Rock and Roll,’ a classic tune off the Led Zeppelin IV album. Once the full band kicked in, an almost palpable surge of adrenaline coursed through the crowd. There’s just something about vintage rock ’n’ roll that thrives in a live setting, with the amps dialed up and the fans dialed in. This was one of those shows. So if you love Led Zeppelin and are interested in seeing the music played perfectly live, then Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Experience is the next best thing, and not to be missed.” - Doug Fox, Daily Herald.
