George, the pattern that you explain at 8:15 is one that I’ve wondered about for, well 50 years… thank you so much for providing this breakdown and enjoy your greatly deserved/well-earned time with Mr. Jimmy! 💪🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
George, your dedicated and work so hard. You are going to kill it, and the people are going to get a treat with the four of you... Ramble on my friend!
George and Mr. Jimmy together are as close as most of us will ever get to seeing the mighty Led Zeppelin live. I would give one million dollars to see these shows up close. If I had one million, of course.
While George's playing is beyond spectacular, this just makes me realize how incredible Bonham was at such a young age. He really was like no other. I also love George's explanations as it really shows that Bonham was not just some heavy handed clubber. JHB was an incredibly sensitive drummer that knew exactly when to hit the gas and exactly when to pull it back in the right places. Great job George!
I could watch this all day. just so freakin good I have tendinitis in my left arm as well. I feel for you. We just have to maintain get our therapy and ice up when can. You are an inspiration sir.
Well, we already know that George's health and cardiorespiratory capacity are enviable, since he is currently around 37 years older than Bonham was at the time of the show. Another thing: this video, recorded from this angle, is excellent, and makes us regret that TSRTS' performance of Moby Dick was not recorded and shown in its entirety, with many parts replaced by sequences of his daily life (which are cool, but could be part of an interview or documentary). Thanks for sharing, it was really cool to watch. 👏👏👏
Thank you, I've always felt the same. Like what happened to that footage that was shot, was it tossed out off the edit room floor or was it saved in canisters.
@@BONHAMOLOGY Hopefully Warner Bros. will release a new version of The Song Remains the Same with the complete restored unedited concert with no dream sequences and Peter Grant rants as a bonus!
@@BONHAMOLOGY Guys, I'm sure you know they didn't film it! Was there more? Yes, but they didn't get anything close to a complete take. This is why they added the fantasy sequences & the Shepperton material.
This is what I love most about this ‘73 revisit, you’re nailing every detail of those standout moments, so it sounds spot on perfect. BUT, you’re also peppering it throughout with additional Bonzoisms and making it a real feast!! I can’t wait to hear you with Jimmy!!
@@BONHAMOLOGY You’re welcome brother. Watching the Moby Dick section just brings tears to my eyes. In the film there’re a few momentary shots from a similar angle. Watching you is like finally seeing the whole thing after a lifetime of picturing it in the imagination.
George much respect for your technical studious accomplishments mastering Bonzos licks on all versions of his playing. Nobody does it better then you and I have commented on this before you always blow me away. I have been a drummer for more years I care to mention so I know what it takes. Once again huge props to you ❤💯👍p.s hope you will post footage of your coming gigs.
George ! Absolutely fantastic. Thank you for the tips. The dazed and confused fills were spot on. You are the man !! Part of the beauty of this platform is to share and learn from others. Thank you sir. You do a great service to the legacy. Sorry if I missed it , any tips on 4 sticks tune? Seems tricky.
You will kill it you've been playing Zepp for along time now an have it down. Rest up Eat your Wheaties and don't forget to have fun. Rock On Brother 🤘 an Hey toTerry ✌
I grew up listening to Led Zep, I saw Page play live at the LA Forum. Jimmy Sakurai is the closest I have ever heard to Jimmy Page. This is as close you will ever get to playing with Jimmy Page, it's going to be a blast have fun George and enjoy every minute. I am So looking forward to this!
By a second I thought "Wow he has 2 Vistalite Sets.......ohhh no, how dumb, of course, it's a mirror. No!!, double, triple dumb ...it's actually another drum set". Great content as always. Thanks!
Very nice work and practice regiment, George ! I saw Mr Jimmy, August, Cody T and JP Joel play the whole full TSRTS show - from Seattle - at The Cove in Depew NY (Buffalo suburb) back 2019. It was incredible and I could imagine how good of a show this will be with George there ! I brought my 29 inch Ludwig Universal tymp to the show for Cody - which has the foot pedal - just as favor to round out the show and had a guy works with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra come in and tune it up -- bc I had put a new head on it. ❤🎉
Sounds great George! Love these practice videos that you're sharing. It's like you're training for the Bonham Olympics. You've already got the gold, but going for more hardware! Have a blast at the show and looking forward to seeing it! ✌️❤️🥁
Thank you for sharing this George! Your tuning and playing style is so spot on! There are only a handful of drummers I've ever heard that had the Bonham mojo, and you are top of the heap ! thanks again !
Cannot WAIT to see these shows!! Coming from a 26 year old who will never get the chance to see the real deal, I am incredibly thankful that you, Mr. Jimmy Sakurai and Co are around to faithfully recreate Zep’s sound. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
It has been an honour watching you prepare for these shows. Your dedication is next level. I am hoping someone will video the shows (fingers crossed...........)????
You know, in the middle of Moby Dick I've started to seriously consider booking a flight from Poland to Canada just to see that show. Jimmy Sakurai with George drumming, thats a world class phenomenon. Too bad I also have shows to play that weekend. Have a great one G, I cant even imagine all that fueled up on that gig adrenaline factor!!
Excellent as always, George! As a fellow drummer, stretching is huge the older we get. I stretch forearms, shoulders, triceps, biceps, hamstrings, quads, back, and calves before every show. I'm sure your PT specialist is getting that hip flexor stretched out, top of quad, front of pelvis that does the lifting of your high-hat leg. Pay close attention to your hydration. Electrolytes before, during, and after, will keep your muscles hydrated and prevent cramping and help keep your forearms loose. I hope you get to do a tour with Mr.Jimmy and travel the states, would love to watch you live.
@@johniacadoro7668 Thanks John, yes, absolutely. The electrolytes are super important and I was mindful to stretch and keep drinking throughout. The show. Definitely helps!
Nice playing! I played a lot of this 1973 stuff myself with a band a few yrs ago. Never had the vistalites though...All you need is the white Droog suit and black derby! Good luck on the upcoming shows with Jimmy Sakurai. ! Looking forward to some video!
Thank you for sharing and WOW just WOW!!!!! You are an inspiration no doubt, I have been playing (on and off due to life circumstances) since age 10, I am now 50 yoa and try to play as possible. ARE YOU USING A SPEED KING?
Look into a certified hand therapist. Also, stretch webs. arm sleeves, curls with 5lbs all have helped me tremendously with stamina and keeping things going. Microwaveable heating pads too, they really help getting warmed up.
Sorry to hear about the tendon issues. I have been drumming since 1967, when I started taking lessons (unbeknownst to me) from the legendary George Lawrence Stone. He was my assigned drum teacher through the public school music program where I lived outside of Boston. He lived in the next city and taught part time until his death. He was the most relaxed looking drummer I ever saw. He stressed ergonomics before we knew what ergonomics was. I am not saying that you aren’t relaxed while playing. You are an incredible drummer and look very relaxed. Do you have pain after playing jazz? If no, there must be something in playing in the style of Bonham that is causing stress. am not a pro, but I supplemented my income as a registered nurse by drumming several gigs a month for many years. I play mostly jazz but played in a Zeppelin cover band for years. Being an RN with a lot of ortho and trauma experience, as well being as a drummer, I would recommend leaving out the hand playing. The hand playing on regular drums never interested me and I was always glad when he reached for the sticks. I wouldn’t be surprised if that contributes to your pain. I would also try playing with a tendon compression band for tennis elbow.
Man oh man how I wish i could be in Toronto for these shows! Will y’all be recording and/or streaming? P.S. Sacrilege maybe but that extended triplet run starting at 34:40 sounds cleaner and more…symmetrical than alot of Bonham’s. Maybe it’s the low volume or lack of that boomy reverby arena sound that makes his often not sound as even or something.. But of course you’re phenomenal so that could be it, too!
The physically most demanding part comes AFTER the show if you want to stay true to 73 standards 😂. Best of luck to the shows. Has been entertaining to watch your videos.
Maybe you can sneak in some lighter sticks 1/2 way or 3/4 of the way through the set. Go to Tractor supply or the equivalent store.....get some DMSO (derived from wood pulp). Clean elbows or area hurting then apply coconut oil 1st, then the DMSO. It may itch. It smells like garlic. But it works.
Incredible!!!!! I have a hammered Supraphinic… Is it pissible to get that pich and tone out of it?? Mine is also 6.5 x15… Awesome Job!!! I would appreciate any advice…
Wow... really good insight into how to pace yourself, physically and mentally, to make it through a LZ set. Funny how some music 'snobs' so quickly dismiss this type of music sometimes citied as not challenging enough. For your tendinitis, please check out some of the physical rehab videos on YT on for golf/tennis elbow (and the relationship to good shoulder health as well)... your body will thank you later!
Thanks for that, appreciate it. There are a couple RUclips videos I have been utilizing for stretches for bicep tendonitis that have been working well for me.
@@BONHAMOLOGY Excellent! Would hate to see you sidelined for 'owies' - it definetly aint easy gettin' older 👴I get aches & pains in place I didn't even know I had 🤪
I'm glad the ghost at 18:55 and at 20:00 decided to just give up and throw his sticks away. You impressed him that much. P.S. are you playing anywhere in San Diego?
If you guys are gonna actually follow the true '73 TSRTS set list, you'll actually get your break earlier. After DAC (as STH comes next), and not have to do MD straight after. I'd mention that to Jimmy Sakurai.. You know.. In case he forgets... 😂 We need you healthy... Bring down the house my friend. Enjoy!
I actually plan to use Terry's bonzoleum 2As which are basically a copy of the original Ludwig 2A, but these are slightly longer and slightly thicker at the tapered end
Hey George great insight as always. Just wondering are you going to be playing anywhere near Staten Island NY? I know of a great venue called the St. George theater (no pun intended)😅I once saw a zeppelin cover band play there and they weren’t a tenth as talented as you and your band. I think you guys would go over very well there. Would be there with bells on.
Thank you, I've heard of that venue. The bass player in pfoz is from Staten Island and he's mentioned it. No plans right now, hopefully someday we'll get on the East Coast. These are my first gigs with Jimmy
This is so helpful!! Thanks for sharing. What size sticks are you using here? And do you use different sticks depending on the gig? Thanks for your response!
Nice. I'm using some pro marks. I can't even remember the model, they're sort of like a 5A. That I use occasionally, from the same guy that made Terry's bonzoleum sticks.... It really varies.😊
Are you going to be playing the same Vistalite kit in the upcoming shows? Curious too if you’ll use the same 70s hardware to be authentic or go with more durable modern hardware (cymbals stands etc)?
les grands batteurs de jazz l ont inspiré, avant Bonzo , juste avant c est à dire quelques années, quels sont les batteurs qui se sont débarqués dans le rock ? ils se comptent sur les doigts d une main , tous influencés par le jazz
Very true, however, I don't really have too many chances to rest up because of my usual gig schedule. Occasionally I will turn down some work to give it a break. But I've been managing it okay with regular physical therapy and stretches. 🙏🏻
What @LeloCraveiro,said Iv been saying for a decade now playin a Led Zeppelin live show from 1973 at any age there’s probably only a handful of drummers on the planet that can do it and George’s age your looking at the one and only. OK I’m done.

Dave Brubeck's drummer Joe Morello did a bare handed section during some Take Five drum solos.
Pretty sure he was one of Bonham's influences.
Bonzo loved Morello but I don't hear a lot of Morello's influence in Bonzo's playing. Definitely technique wise but that's about it.
The drums and cymbals sound amazing George! Have a great show! 😎👍🏻
I'm just seeing a bull being pulled and some building works....and that ....is respect.😂
Rock and Roll is definitely a tough one. Your forearms could cramp up if you're coming in cold.
