Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening Performance in Detroit
Front Row Bobby shared videos of Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening on November 23 at The Fillmore in Detroit, Michigan.
Background of the Band
Jason Bonham toured for nearly ten years as Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Experience. The band rebranded as Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening based on a request from the Led Zeppelin camp. They wanted to reserve the “Experience” name for a project related to live recordings.
Jason founded the original band in 2009 to honor his father, John Bonham, the legendary drummer of Led Zeppelin, who passed away in 1980. Jason expressed his love for music and his father through these performances. He noted that the show is fan-oriented, emphasizing a shared passion for Led Zeppelin.
In 2007, Jason played drums with Led Zeppelin during a tribute concert for Ahmet Ertegun. This performance was later released as “Celebration Day.”
Jason’s Reflections
In an interview, Jason stated, “We are not Led Zeppelin. We are fans. We love the music.” He aims to give 150 percent to recreate the energy of the original band. His shows also include personal stories about his father.
The setlist features popular Led Zeppelin songs and deep cuts. This year’s tour includes new additions like “Friends,” “Achilles Last Stand,” and a new arrangement of “Dazed and Confused.” Jason emphasized that choosing songs is the hardest part, as many fans enjoy the lesser-known tracks.
Conclusion
Jason finds joy in performing for crowds that appreciate the music. His dedication keeps the spirit of Led Zeppelin alive, making each show memorable.
