MOBY DICK - THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL VERSION
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- This was, by far the most involved video to do yet. This solo is a BEAST, and really exemplifies how truly great Bonham was in all ways....his sound, touch, feel... his incredible speed and fluency technically, and his unique creative style. As great as this solo is, there are so many versions of his solo that contain all kinds of inventive and novel variations of the themes you find here. Check them all out! One that comes to mind is the version from Raleigh, NC 1970. Truly a one of a kind musician.
I tried to get as close to what Bonzo played as possible, but it's nearly impossible to nail every nuance and sticking pattern, especially without it becoming too clinical sounding. It's very valuable to closely analyze any great artists technique, so doing the breakdown/demo series on this solo recently was really helpful, and I hope it is for all who want to explore Bonham's brilliant style in detail. Here is a link to that playlist..... • Moby Dick Royal Albert...
Sorry for the somewhat poor quality of one camera angle. I realized after I started to work on the editing that one camera was fluctuating while it was processing the light and exposure. I have been using colored lights in my ceiling above the drums to try to get a more atmospheric look to the videos, but it's tricky to manage with the camera, and I'm an amateur when it comes to video!
I sincerely hope you all enjoy this! I will be finishing up the entire RAH covers soon.

1) Will you run for president?
2) Can I be your running mate?
1) No
2) Yes
😉👊🏼
WOW!!!! Even included Bonham’s minor mistakes that he did. This is unbelievably replicated to perfection. This is nothing short of insanely amazing.
Appreciate that, thank you!
Honestly this is the best I have seen besides bonzo playing it himself
Good on you as well mate!…….not many other people spotted that deliberate mistake by Sir George.
3:45😊
I saw Bonham in 1969 and 1973 . I was about one hundred feet away. I am a professional drummer and have seen a lot in my day. You are the most masterful Bonham stylist I have ever seen.
Thanks Harry, appreciate that. Wow, that is so incredible.
Agree. Sadly, alcohol ruined him afterwards so I think his playing peaked on first 3 albums. You were lucky
AAAH! Got the accidental cymbal/rim interference in there. Good show! Bonham so good we must even replicate his mistakes. :)
His mistakes sound good.
Yes, they become iconic!
@@BONHAMOLOGY, did you time your solo?
There was about 12 minutes of no band and you came back in perfectly at the end.
Could there be a specific number of measures for the solo?
I have a friend who worked with The Baltimore Symphony and the percussionists sometimes sat out for 300 measures.
They really had to pay attention to the sheet music.
He said that if one percussionist did an extremely good job the others would shuffle their feet since they couldn't applaud.
@@Lorenzo1950 Haha, no. I just recorded the ending verse separately and spliced it together.
George-you need to be bronzed for this.
Ha!! 😂 Now that would be a viral video! Maybe I can just go out an get some for that George Hamilton look? 🤔 Thanks T!
Holy shit!!! That was fucking awesome!,,, I still have goosebumps,,,lol...great job man..you are my muse.
Playing like this in your early 20’s amazing,playing like this in your 50’s unbelievable. 130 lbs of boy.
Haha, thanks Lynda. Believe me, it's painfully evident when I'm doing it. More like 210 lbs!
BONHAMOLOGY George that was amazing playing no matter what age never in a million years did I think I would ever see someone with enough drumming skill or Bonham no how to ever replicate that RAH version of Moby Dick. PS I’m sure if Bonham would have lived into his fifties it would have been around 220 lbs of Boy. Lol.
@@LyndaWhite-ju1gj 😋 Thanks as always for the compliments, Lynda.
George, you CAPTURE the very ESSENCE!!! I LOVE IT! Thank you 🙏
I’m probably going to watch this a 1000 times and still want to watch again, Bonzo bash would be a better show if they had you playing George
Thanks James, too kind.
Totally 100% agree, George has an ability like few people, well on Ambien one :-)
Your drum covers are always the first place i go to practice bonham songs. Thank you for being such an amazing drummer
Thank you!
You've done this more justice than anyone. John would've been so proud. Sure hope Jason hears this......
Thank you. 👊🏼
Bhaiya re bhaiya❤️
Must say Absolutely Superb Sir!
Thanks Scott.
Started listening to Bonham a year before he died. I was 14.
Thanks for putting in the time to get it so close.
I feel like I’ve seen Bonham play now.
Amazing. I can’t believe you memorized this!
Wonderful, fantastic George, you are the one most imbued with Bonhams abilities that I have ever seen oh, and you definitely should be involved in the Bonham celebrations, such as the Bonham Bash I guess, I mean you would make a killing there, you would have Jaws dropping right and left :-)
Thanks Frank. 👊🏼
Frank Davis I agree Frank I mention that six months ago,Iv never seen anyone at the Bonzo bash that can play like George.
Mr Fludas, i am truly honoured with you and by the way in your debt with your exciting channel, but the channel is nothing without your groovy and motivativatonal talent that was given to you by THE GREAT BONZO. I'm from Georgia and fan of rock since at the age of 1, now I'm 16 and still didn't give up on listening and playing drums. First band that changed my life was LEGENDARY DEEP PURPLE and my favourite drummer was MR IAN PAICE. But after i listened to all nine Zeppelin albums, everything really changed and the first track where i figured out Bonzo'a thunderous drumming was "IN MY TIME OF DYING" and this song made me listen to every tracks and now my favourite is "THE ROVER", it has epic guitar riff by PAGE THE MONSTER and funky bonham drum techniques. And I always wanted to learn and play this historical "royal albert hall" drum solo with Bonham's improvising paradiddles triplets and paradiddles-diddles, after I watched your analysing this drum solo, I realised that nothing is impossible. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. KEEP YOURSELF GOING ON AND BECOME LEGEND JUST AS JOHN "BONZO" BONHAM DID!!!!!!
Thank you!
Beautiful!
If I was your neibhour Id call the cops to make you open the windows wide open when youre jamming!
😊
You're great ,it takes a lot of talent to replicate it so accurately and Precision to Bonham !
I just don't think there is anyone else that plays Bonham like your good self. I saw John Bonham Live . yep just like that. brilliant
Thanks so much, Paul.
So awesome !
Fantastic.
Man, that's just superb! Thoroughly enjoyed! Outstanding!
Bloody hell this is truly phenomenal!!! I am listening again, eyes closed, and it could easily be Bonzo. You, Sir, should be very proud, the sheer amount of study and work you must have put in! I wouldn't hesitate to say you are the best Rock Drummer in the World right now. Seriously!
Thanks so much, Martin!
Indubitably yes:-)
this is amazing man, i love this song and you made bonham proud
An excellent drummer by my own definition can create phenomenal grove with minimal effort. I like how you get so much sound without flailing your arms about wildly, you do it with a very controlled and professional manner. You are an Excellent drummer, keep up the great work. A very accurate recreation of royal Albert hall performance as well i might note.
Much appreciated , thanks!
Incredible. George you are beyond talented !! I truly believe Bonzo is watching you from above and smiling 😎👍
this.... this is...... i have no words
DUDE. DUDE. SERIOUSLY. Wow! What a performance! STANDING "O"!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
When one of his neighbours complained about the noise the cops waited outside his door until it finished.......after that they cautioned the neighbour for wasting police time.
Damn George!
Fantastic!!
Hasn't been recreated since January 9th, 1970! This is just incredible, man.
This was amazing, truly amazing
I’m one of the lucky 2000 viewers to see John Bonham’s soul taking over someone else!
The RAH show has long been a favorite of mine. All your RAH covers are amazing. This one blew my mind. So great and worth all the effort i'm sure went into this.
Simply outstanding.
That’s absolutely astonishing! Holy cow. I streamed that to the big TV and loved every second of it. Superb. Thank you.
Thanks!
Truly AMAZING! All the time you've spent on the drum stool was never a waste of your time, thank you George.
Dude that was freakin amazing !!!
Wow😮 it’s absolutely great , so perfect , thanks and never forget John Bonham RIP 4ever 🙏🙏👌👌🥁🥁🥁
You have my sincerest admiration. That was phenomenal. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man, i saw, i think all the videos of Moby Dick (drum covers) and this by far is the best i have seen in 15 years.
Amazing job! Terry should’ve been there to adjust the cowbell 😂😂😂
You are an outlet for Bonzos spirit. 100.00% accuracy. I think you even set your sticks in the exact spot to make the exact same sounds 😦
Thanks!
that bass drum sounds amazing!
Wow!
Damn !!!! Awesome job !!!!
Great! John Bonham was there. There aren't many videos of John Bonham that are this clear, so I learned a lot from this. Thank you.
Woww...double thumbs up for the one who put a tumb down 😉😁
😏
Yeah that’s right I’m watching this for the third time and it only 6:45 EST. Lol.
Ahhh perfection.. I have been waiting for this version, my absolute favourite...yeh Terry bronzed! give the guy some credit at least some gold sticks.
Yeah, totally sick!
Great Bonzo's style réplica.
Brother, I have heard them all, and I know you are good friends with Bonzoleum, but your Royal Albert Hall Moby Dick Solo was by far the best version other than Bonham himself, That was utterly perfect. I memorized bits and pieces of all of his solos, but the only one that I can play like you just did, is the one on Led Zeppelin II the studio version. You know how it goes. It starts with the hands then goes to the sticks. It's only like 2minutes and 16 seconds or so, but your Royal Albert Hall solo memorized like you just played it, I was not only in awe, but you put a smile on my face because I have never heard anyone play that 15:14 drum solo to perfection. Fucking Great Buddy.... I Loved it... I like your new Black Sparkle set that you just got also. Such a cool color.
YEEEES
One word sums it all, BRAVO!
fantastic! I'm sharing on fb.
Nem o próprio John Bonham devia ter decorado essa! 🤣 Muuuito bom, parabéns do Brasil! Somos muito fãs de Led Zeppelin 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Brilliant George - Keep the videos coming!!!
Absolutely.......... Fucking........... Outstanding! To be able to play, pretty much note for note, something that was originally played so organically and make it feel and sound like it was flowing freely from within you is totally awe inspiring. I know the AH version so well and there were so many moments throughout this with my eyes closed were totally spot on. Incredible effort!
Really appreciate those comments! Thank you kindly. 👊🏼
Stunning...this deserves 1m views. Thank you SO much for recreating Bonham's music...you are all the drumming community has left!
As elvin jones, and sir Bonzo both did dun diddeth, you are showing planet earth-all ages the joy of artstistic expression🤩
😁👍🏻 thanks!
Increíble ejecución lo has hecho perfecto como sientes cada nota que tocas un regalo para mis oidos
Unbelievable! This is perfection. Mind-blowing.
Thanks!
Sir you are truly awesome.
Dude, that was awesome.
This really rocks as usual, G. I'm always impressed.
Do you have more than one GoPro? I'm beginning to
take notice of all the angles and production values
you utilize in your videos. Is the laptop used in any
kind of post-shoot mixing or do you opt for just room
sound?
I have two Zoom Q2n camera's . They are fine but I'm thinking I might want to upgrade, the max quality is 1080 but it still looks pretty grainy, unless the lights are way bright. I record the drum tracks to Garage Band through an Allen Heath 10FX mixer. I add some compression, reverb and a little EQ in Audacity, which is a free program. It's very basic. No Pro Tools or Logic. I'm still a neophyte!
@@BONHAMOLOGY Thanks for the reply.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Damn George you never sease to amaze me this is my favorite version of Moby Dick and you are spot on much respect from a guy just starting to learn to play and Bonham is the drummer who got me interested in drums and you my friend are an inspiration to us all much respect to your playing your a great drummer in your own right and your knowledge of Bonzo is unmatched
Thanks!
wooooooww!!!! Wonderful thanks master!
The nearest ever to Bonzo, unbelievable stuff!
Umm, I’m speechless. Bravo sir
Best cover ever.
Pero Usted Señor es una máquina tocando!!! Lo felicito.
Thank you!!! 13:54 has always escaped me until now....thank you for filming this crossover from the front...in the original film, the cameraman is useless lol
This is as good as it gets.....George is a master and his sound, touch and feel is as close to John Bonham as one could get. It takes someone with experience who understands that John Bonham was not some heavy handed basher. He had incredible control and musicality which till this day has put him in a class by himself. George's playing has all those elements and from the first time I heard him play I knew that he was going to be someone I would be following, listening to and watching.....
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that Jon!
George your a fuckin machine! I never thought I would see anyone cover that entire solo note by note like you did.
Perfect ❤❤
Holy moly
Fantastic.. close your eyes its Bonham...
10687 view, 667 thumbs up? That's a shame! You deserve 1 000 000 thumbs up! Even Jason Bonham could not do that! I'm speechless!
Increíble te salió igual!!!!
Best video on RUclips!!!
WOW WOW WOW......you're AMAZING man!!!!
Thanks! 😃
Geroge Henry Bonham strikes again !! reincarnated soul ! PERIOD !
Mercy!
OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMH! OMG!
KING GEORGE!
It's unbelieveable!
You're more precise than Bonzo. WOOOOOOOOW!
Well I can't agree with you there, but I appreciate your compliments. Thank you!
@@BONHAMOLOGY MY PLEASURE GEORGE😁
Ladies and Gentlemen......
George Henry Fludas.
awesome job!
Wow! I didn't think anyone could really ever tell what he was doing! I'm so glad your able to show us, if only I knew LOL it seems like mostly the sound comes from his bass drum. Most of the magic is the sound, not so much the best.
You are a Hero 💪💪💪💪💪😊
Hi George, big compliment! You certainly don't want to tell me (here in public) how Long you spent on this M.D. Version!? Difinitely a wonderful template - down to the last Detail. Thanks!
Bravo!
Wow! That was incredible. It would take me six years to master this. Maybe I can try, one measure at a time. Just the timing is very tricky. You have to know when the band comes back in after the solo. Did you chart the song?
George you missed that one spot.... LOL....
I know! Some others too!! 😄
Someone please send this video to whoever the organizer is for the Bonzo Bash. Ok I’m done.
Omg i can believe it...RAH its too really hard
Me quito el sombrero y lo felicito ,es muy talentoso y valiente por tirarse con esta canción, no es apta para todos..he buscado muchos covers de esta canción y nadie lo hace como usted, de verdad eres un maestro.
Wow...I just say...Perfect Drum cover of that concert...you are so much better than Jason Bonham really!! 🥁👍🏻
Very good!!!!!
