The scariest performance of Bonzo doing this song is from the Royal Albert hall performance. It's actually, truly scary..It's like he's super human. I watched it a few years back and thought to myself, he's not human. All it took was alcohol to literally destroy superman on drums.
This is the one I have been waiting for a long time. Not even a month ago, I said in a comment that this was the only performance you missed of the Danmarks Tv set, and here it is! It's unbelievable how perfect your playing is, down to every single note. I know this Bonham's performance like the back of my hand, having studied it for so long, and you nailed it, like everything else you do. You're the best, George. Thank you so much for this gem.♥
As in a lot of old videos, you never get to see enough of the drummers!! So awesome to see what I'm hearing for once! What a genius Bonham truly was....and George, thank you for letting us see what is actually going on behind the kit!! So sweet!
This is a great song by Led Zeppelin. They were at the top of their game, especially John Bonham and this is a super job covering his drum part. Hats off.
Just unbelievable I knew that talent I was not wasted still with us gray hands right then Nick I enjoy it very much that’s a shame God bless you man Keep going do you know how to do it not that many people try to imitate the greatest drummer I close to you
Dude, you made my Sunday morning! A live Zeppelin drum cover, no crazy ass flashing lights, no one second camera shots from 752 positions with constant panning and special effects, no drummer gymnastics with stick flippy fuckery, and no costume required...didn't even have to show cleavage to get me to watch the whole thing. Thank you for showing your talent and a true appreciation for drumming!
Wonderful! It' s like getting an exclusive Bonzoview of Denmark. Every time I watch the original, I find myself willing Page and Plant to just step aside so I can see The Man at work. I love the timed seat adjustments too!
Thank you for this. Bonham being 20 years old, even though phenomenal, this was a good example as to how less experienced drummers use more arms and shoulders than wrists to play. We can see the same thing with live Bill Ward stuff when he too was a young drummer. Not knocking either drummer at all. I love watching Bonham go off on his kit like that.
Simply astonishing. I can not believe so few people have listened to and liked this. It must be dispiriting, but then, the art of the drummer is often overlooked and misunderstood. Thank you, thank you, so very, very much. I absolutely loved this and will watch and listen again and again .... and again .... and again. Blown away, just, well, blown away.
In an interview that appeared in Light and Shade: Conversations with Jimmy Page, the guitarist-producer explained how that applied to tracks like “How Many More Times.” “If something was derived from the blues, I tried to split the credit between band members,” Page said. “That was fair, especially if any of the fellows had input on the arrangement.”
fucking insane man!!! A true treat to hear…. my good days have consisted of some brews and listening close to the one and only Bonhamology himself.. may the universe repay you for your greatness
Looks like you're totally having fun!!! Yes Iam enjoying myself watching you getting pounding out the beats!!! Somebody also said that they are appreciative for showing us some trade secrets...I agree as well...ALLLLLLL OF US are thankful of your GENEROSITY!!! OH yeah I didn't know that how much that this song is so busy!!! THANKS BROTHER DRUMMER!!!
This is so awesome. I appreciate you going into the early years of Led Zeppelin. It's nice to see what the band was doing when they first started out. All the eras of Led Zeppelin are great. Cheers! ✌️🥁
Covering a 20 year old Bonzo couldn't have been easy, but you really nailed this one! I think you actually brought him back for this song. Out of all your videos, I think this one absolutely captures the essence of John Henry Bonham. I tip my hat to you, sir for a job well done.

Thx man! Ok, next one please, play your take on Deep Purple's Burn. That's a heck of a classic 'drum- song' to all of us! Thanks and greets from Finland! :)
Thank you George, this is the one i'd always wanted you to do! When i first saw the b/w TV of this, I just couldn't understand where all the drum beats were coming from on such a 'basic' kit (like around @0:55, it's like there is almost an overdub). Things happening that don't match the obvious arm moves, yeah? Now i know it's bass-drum work along with the well-known effect of having the bass sounding like the toms. Excellenty!
Damn! That was fire! Love Bonzo's footwork and triplets! I actually think John Bonham was reincarnated into your body! Awesome stuff, George! Now I'll go share it in my drumming group! 🤘🏻🥁
Watching you play makes me realise how damn talented these guys were for their age and it makes me appreciate them even more year by year, when I thought I've seen and heard enough to get bored of this band. It only keeps on growing. Great job George!
Damn I never noticed how much that groove coming out of the bow solo sounds right out of '73. You ever think of covering any of those Lord Sutch songs that Bonzo and Jimmy did
Brilliant - just so much power and energy. Amazing solo near the end - wow! Yes you are right how did Bonzo have so much talent at 20?! - Another brilliant video - thank you.

Great Performance!!!! 🔥🥁💪 and also liked your smile at the beginning when the drummer was announced: "and on the drums John Bonham!!!", and seemed like you smiled!!!! Greetings from Portugal!!!! 🇵🇹 All the best!!! 🥁💜
Just incredible George, well played! I've been waiting for this one. The kit sounds amazing! There are many great drummers of course, I've just never heard anyone play like Bonzo though, and this version of HMMT is just electric magic at it's best. Those triplets, fills, and those awesome 16th notes played in unison are just killer! Oh Rosie!!! ✌❤🥁
Badass as usual, George. I recommend a channel on yootoob 'The Student Loan' who play the entire Houses of the Holy album on mandolin, banjo, doublebass and acoustic guitar; the way they do Bonham's drum parts on D'yer Mak'er is marvelous (as is Ringo's drum solo on Abbey Road's Carry That Weight---they cover that album too). Everybody sings and the girl has Page's alternate tunings down pat. They also do Kashmir & Out On The Tiles for good measure (plus songs by Dylan, Traffic, the Dead, Stone Temple Pilots, Phish, et al). I've never heard anything like them.
I love led zeppelin, but 10:17 till the they go back into the main riff has always been hard for me to watch and listen to. It sounds like they are improvising, but they didn't know what to do. Anyway, great video! Peace ✌️
Yeah there’s a moment of Uncertainty there and they stumble a little but they recover quickly. Actually that was the hardest part to memorize and get down
For me, it's the bit at 10:53 where it sounds like Page and Jones should come in at the end of the drum fill, but instead come in two bars later. I could never tell if that was a mistake or intentional
That was amazing! I have to ask: What subdivision was that single stroke roll at 1:23 played at? And if you don't mind what subdivision is the first really fast single stroke roll in Achilles Last Stand played at in the studio version? This is something I have been trying to figure out definitively for decades. Not even slowing it down in RUclips helps.
They are just quick 32 note triplets, I often start them with a double in the right hand , it kind of kickstarts it, but you can just do fast singles....they are triplety if that makes sense
This was killer George. Definitely a treat for us Bonzo nuts!! I have a request maybe one day when you have time. I loved your video on tripletville. Wonder if you can do a video on triplets around the kit. After watching your live show playbacks, its amazing how many variations there really are and how he implemented them. This would be a great instructional video for us George. Please buddy, make it happen.. 😊
I wonder how this would sound on the kits he used later in life.. if they’d have played this at at a concert in the stainless steel days.. the early stuff on the later kits
The scariest performance of Bonzo doing this song is from the Royal Albert hall performance. It's actually, truly scary..It's like he's super human. I watched it a few years back and thought to myself, he's not human. All it took was alcohol to literally destroy superman on drums.

One of my favorite songs. Big thanks George
You are one of a very few who can recreate the John Bonham feel accurately. I salute you.👌

King George the badass. Man that crossover at the beginning part at that speed was killer. One of my favorite Zeppelin songs

We can see the same thing with live Bill Ward stuff when he too was a young drummer. Not knocking either drummer at all. I love watching Bonham go off on his kit like that.
Yes, he definitely refined his technique, and I would say very quickly within a year or two he was much more technically refined
Absolutely Fantastic! Way to go!
Absolutely brilliant 👏
Hell yeah, I've been waiting for this one!!
Well done, sir! Incredible work👍

Looking a little lost at 10:10 but found direction at 10:20. This is one of my favs and you nailed it. Thanks for uploading.
Nails it again GF!
Absolutely amazing!!! Blown away with the spot-on sound from your kit and your powerful playing-especially like the toms tuning. Thank you, George. ❤

Watching you play makes me realise how damn talented these guys were for their age and it makes me appreciate them even more year by year, when I thought I've seen and heard enough to get bored of this band. It only keeps on growing. Great job George!
Thank you, I know what you mean. I often feel that way when I see people do covers of other great musicians playing.
Yoo, requested and answered thanks my man. Ill add this one to the jam playlist 🤘🏼
Also that snare sounds incredible
I wish the song volume was dialed back a bit more tho’
Damn I never noticed how much that groove coming out of the bow solo sounds right out of '73. You ever think of covering any of those Lord Sutch songs that Bonzo and Jimmy did
I will at some point, I just can’t stand Lord Sutch … But the playing is great
Ce concert était génial, je l ai en DVD
What great communication between Bonham and Page! huh? Wow! Great playing George!❤️👍🏼😊
You’re a phenom
Fantastic!
Outstanding George!!!

What is the drumstick used in this video?
Bonzoleum 2A …. My friend Terry Keating had them made custom, based on the old Ludwig 2A

This was when Zeppelin was the real Zeppelin. Robert Plant’s voice killed everything back then.

Did you go for a lie down after that George.......fantastic to watch
Bravissimo anche se in un passaggio vai fuori tempo
Awesome
Got some 602's up I see.
Yes! Also A Zildjian 16 crash and 14 hats
can you please make a lesson on this???
