LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JULY 15, 2019…HAPPY 53RD BIRTHDAY TO JASON BONHAM. JASON, THE SON OF THE GREAT JOHN BONHAM OF LED ZEPPELIN FAME, IS NOW ESTABLISHING HIMSELF AS ONE OF THE GREAT DRUMMERS IN ROCK AND ROLL. HIS FATHER JOHN DIED IN 1980, AND JASON HAS STEPPED IN FROM TIME TO TIME TO KEEP HIS MEMORY ALIVE.
IN 1988 HE TOOK HIS FATHER’S SPOT AT THE FIRST EVER LED ZEPPELIN REUNION AT THE ATLANTIC RECORDS 40TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT.
ON DECEMBER 10TH, 2007 JASON PLAYED DRUMS IN THE MOST ANTICIPATED CONCERT OF ALL TIME, THE LED ZEPPELIN REUNION AT THE O2 ARENA.
HE’S ALSO DONE WORK WITH PAUL RODGERS, SLASH, DAVID GILMOUR, JEFF BECK, UFO, FOREIGNER, AND JOE BONNAMASSA.
MOST RECENTLY HE’S BEEN BUSY WITH HIS OWN PROJECT “JASON BONHAM’S LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE” ( WHICH WAS FORCED TO CHANGE ITS NAME BY ZEPPELIN TO “JASON BONHAM’S LED ZEPPELIN EVENING”)
HE IS ALSO A MEMBER OF THE CIRCLE, SAMMY HAGAR’S SUPERSTAR PROJECT.
THIS IS THE MOST TOUCHING VERSION OF STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN I’VE EVER SEEN. PLANT AND PAGE HAD NO IDEA JASON BONHAM WAS GOING TO BE APPEARING ON THE SONG, AND IT BROUGHT PLANT TO TEARS. AN INCREDIBLE VERSION FROM HEART AND JASON BONHAM
