Steve, do you know if Jason had any performances professionally filmed for DVD release?

When asked in mid-May Jason said "I will be. I’m hopefully filming one of the shows on the tour. I know we’re doing the Greek at the end of the tour and that would be a wonderful thing to document. I was very overwhelmed when they told me we were going to do the Greek because I’ve seen so many great bands there over the years. I was like wow, I’m doing the Greek. Especially with the way it’s been going this year and I just look at it like this and as long as the demand’s there, I enjoy playing this music and as a representation of my father and the family and the music he created with Jimmy and John Paul and Robert".

Good to see that JB is carrying on the tradition of only touring America. Why can't the guy bring the show to Europe or dare I say the UK? But hey Zeppelin only did 7 shows in 5 years

He said he would love to bring the show to the UK. I think it will happen.

If you haven't had the chance to see JBLZE I highly reccomended it. I saw them last October here is the copy of my review I did for the Tight But Loose site.

October 19th 2010

It was a clear, crisp Tuesday evening in Minneapolis, for the Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin Experience at the historic State Theater. The compact very dedicated crowd were paying their respects to John and Jason. From the opening number of Good Times Bad Times through the encore of Whole Lotta Love (with Theremin) the guys did not disappoint. The music often accompanied film clips of John Bonham as a youth, as well as family clips of John, Jason and Wife/Mother Pat. Jason starts the show narrating about John to the images of the factories and surroundings he had grown accustom as a young man. I attempted to write down the numbers as they were played, but in a rush to my feet for a standing ovation, the pen slipped away, Jason made it very clear that this was a tribute to his Dad and that he and the band members were all fans of Led Zeppelin's music, as were we. On one occasion Jason fought back tears when the applause wouldn't stop as he spoke about his Dad.

The music was fantastic; I imagine John would have been very proud of Jason's abilities, he played splendidly and his choice of musicians to help him make his statement. Tony Cantania was fantastic, hitting every break and guitar solo. Dazed & Confused was dazzling, the violin bow was present for the required sound on the song, but Tony did not over do it, by trying to emulate Jimmy's moves. Jason dedicated "Thank-you", to his fans and to his father John; this was a very emotional, bringing many of us to tears. Michael Devin on bass guitar was mesmerizing along with Stephen LeBlanc on keyboards and rhythm guitar, did Jonsey proud. James Dylan was like the cherry on top, with all his heart he belted out one number after another and by the end of the almost three hour show his voice had become a bit raspy, we didn't care, we were on the road to Kashmir. The set list was as follows:

Good Times Bad Times

Celebration Day

Rock-n-Roll

I Can't Quit You

Black Dog

Since I've Been Loving You

Your Time Is Gonna Come

The Ocean

When The Levee Breaks

Daze and Confused

Over The Hills And Far Away

Moby Dick

Thank-you

The Lemon Song

I'm Gonna Crawl

Stairway To Heaven

Kashmir

Whole Lotta Love

Just picked up a couple of tickets to Jason's show that is coming to the Hard Rock Live in November. I missed him last year when they came around due to a flag football I was coaching (that went into double overtime) with my son's league. Looking forward to seeing it!! The ticket start time is 8:00, does the show usually start at that time or not? After reading every-one's reviews of the show, I am stoked to see them. It'll be my 3rd show with Jason, 1st time with Page on the Outrider tour, then at a small bar to see his band Bonham (which was a drunken mess of a night) and now this. Can't wait..... :)

Nice Deb!! I only was able to get 4th row, center. Do you remember when the show began last year? My show date is the 16th, so we can compare set lists! Take care!

:)

Hi Walter!

It began at 8PM. It will be exactly one year to the date since I saw this in Jacksonville. At least this time it's a short drive for me, but since it's general admission I will get there early to get front row. I always like to talk with the other people waiting in line. I'll post a full review with photos as last time:-)
