The picture of John Bonham & Ringo Starr was taken in south France. John Bonham hung out with a lot of other rock stars. Starr & Bonham's family were on vacation together. At one point during the vacation - Bonham & Starr met up with actors Richard Harris & Peter Sellers. They were eating food at a Chinese restaurant together & John Bonham starting throwing food at the others - it turned into an all out food fight. The police were called & all were arrested. They were allowed to clean the mess to have the charges dropped. Imagine the police radioing that in ? We have John Bonham the drummer for Led Zeppelin - The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr - Inspector Clouseau & actor Richard Harris under arrest !
Bonham was a freak for McCartney during the Wings days and frequently showed up at Paul's concerts in the 70s. Paul similarly loved Bonham. Think for a minute of a band with McCartney playing bass and Bonham drums. A rhythm section of the Gods.
Danny Oneil how? John Paul Jones is a better bass player than Paul McCartney and I love the Beatles and Paul McCartney but jpj is without a doubt better
Other people also have the power and tempo. Those aren’t the characteristics that identify Bonham. If I could only use one word to describe him it would be “swagger” and he had it for days
@@spaceengineer1452 You're projecting your own insecurities here. I wonder how many times someone's called you an asshole in your life? Probably a lot, mate. Take care.
Fell asleep on the recliner and woke up to this playing on youtube on the tv. My dad is like “you know john bonham played with paul mccartney?” Im like what?! I cant believe i just discovered this just now. And i have this album and presence both on vinyl. Had no idea the 2 played together!!! This is incredible.
This was a decent demo and who knows maybe even a try out . Paul was tight with Zep's members . And it was done right before Brilliant drummer Joe English joined Wings . Then the band fine tuned and produced the song for the Speed Of Sound album .. Great song i even covered this song with my band back in 1976 and it always went over well . . Wings kicked ass on stage doing this live .
I'd love to know more about Joe English. Hard Rock Hotel in Chicago has some signed skins of his under glass. PSA - speaking of Wings - Denny Laine playing in St. Charles Illinois USA this evening - doing entire BOTR album....
@@slimkickens This must have been right before Joe joined Wings and right before recording for Venus and Mars started. Paul usually writes songs long before they're released on Album.
@@westozrocker7698 Studio vocals can get overdubbed and/or mixed and/or remixed. If done too much, they can sound like just 'part of the furniture' (to borrow some Supertramp phrasing, somewhat). But if they added just a bit of backing vocal (once they fleshed out the final lyric), this song would have *_"it"_* IMO. Comparing this outtake to the studio, vox and instruments, the song indeed has more punch, drive and 'life'. In comparison, the released version has a 'commercial' feel (likely why they chose it), wheras this version (though just a rough guide version) has passion, and you really feel like _also_ shouting "🎵Beware, My Love!🎵", to the girl in the song. Between the two of these, I'd feel more 'involved' in the song, while the other, I feel more like I'm just 'along for the ride'. The released one sounds more like what Wings 'had become', this one sounds like what Wings 'could've been'.
Esta versión de “Beware my love” de Macca fue compuesta por Paul mientras desahogaba un “jam” con el legendario baterista de Led Zeppelin, John Bonham. Esta versión se grabó precisamente con Bonham cuando la pieza estaba ya casi totalmente construida y es realmente más interesante que la versión original del álbum de estudio de Wings, además de ser más “rockera”, so to speak, dados los requintos muy particulares, el piano, la voz más rispida de Paul y, por supuesto, la percusión de Bonham y su particular manejo de los platillos. Me parece que no tiene desperdicio!
This is clearly Macca just working on the song. The piano is so simple, his vocals. Well listen to him sing in live - he clearly was just working out the sound of it...Bonham was probably in the same studio next door or something....
Yes he put his magic in there and is one of my favorite drummers to watch.♥️ This was sent to Joe when he was ill to give a him a taste and when watching him go t it on Rockshow is one of the best things ever. Love Joe.♥️
I’ve not stopped listening to both since a child in the 70’s w my father cranking them on the big old school component built home systems, with Huge 3-way speakers four feet tall.
@@fatbloke650 Me, too. Great music to listen to & text about in any year. Wish I'd not put any dates in my comments now but I thought it was the end in 2020, LOL. Greetings from OK. Be safe. There's a lot more uncertainty in the world now. Keep listening to good music no matter what! P/S: Still listening in 2024 & beyond until my ears wear out.
Obviously a demo. I'm wondering if Zep was recording in the same building when Paul asked him to play drums to it so he wouldn't lose the idea for the song? The beat almost sounds like achilles last stand slowed down.
Tim Sutherland I got the true story here. While recoding Rockestra , you can view it here on RUclips, and Bonham’s on 2 songs, Paul decided to have Bonzo do this song.
"Bonham version?" This was obviously one of McCartney's early demos of this Wings song - with Bonham on drums - still being worked out. I like Paul's vocals on this version better than the album version. This seems to be an example of McCartney over-producing a song.
I love Paul McCartney and Wings but he really screwed up by not leaving this version on the album especially with bonham dying in all it just sounds so much more powerful then the watered down version that we got now.
The day John Bonham died I was in high school, someone opened the door and interrupted the class room and shouted John Bonham died. Back then more than half the kids listened to soul or disco where I lived so only the few rockers in the class knew what this meant. the rest of day nearly every radio station including the soul stations played nothing but Led Zeppelin.
This is awesome! Only heard the 'Rockestra' work Bonham did with McCartney. Kinda of a waste there. You don't need three drummers when you have Bonham. I thinks it's obvious in how much Paul loves Bonham with all the work he's done with a hard hitting drummer like Abe Laboriel Jr. I think Abe gives a Bonham feel to much of McCartney playing live Beatles songs, etc.
My spotify played this while i was showring. I knew the song but didnt know this version. But as soon as the intro roll kicked in i screamed "is that bonzo?" And after showering verified it. Such an unmistakeable, unimitable sound. I dont particularly like some of the rolls he does here (maybe thats why paul chose the other version of the song?) but holy shit does he add balls to a song. I truly think he is the best ever.
Probably because McCartney didn't like Bohnam's work as much as Joe English's work, logically speaking. Joe English was also the official drummer of the band.
I don't think that is accurate, he used him on Back to the Egg. I would say, he was working the song out and new English would have to play on the album, in the ned.
É, EU ADMITO JOHN BONHAM É INESQUECÍVEL, TOTALMENTE AUTODIDATA, DENTRO DO SEGMENTO DA PERCUSSÃO NÃO EXISTE OUTRO. É POR ISSO QUE ATÉ HOJE MESMO DEPOIS 37 ANOS DE SUA MORTE ELE É ESTUDADO E IMITADO.
I think that producer would be Paul. Still as much as I want Bonham to go wild I think he was trying to play to the song. I would have loved to see Bonham play a Hal Blaine/Wrecking crew role and play with a lot of artists and take them to another level. Imagine Bonham playing with Prince!
John Bonham... forget it, what a drummer!!! Saying that , my fav drummer O.A.T., Joe English hangs it out on this track live or studio and , being this a Wings track , cannot be beat
This is a relatively simple song as songs go, yet Bonham manages to add little creative touches throughout. And as one poster said below, you can spot his sound instantly. I like this tune! 👍
This version of the song is an indictment of Wings, really. The haunting melody stands out clearly here where in the Wings version it gets muffled in three part harmony. But I also think Wings wrecked "Maybe I'm Amazed", so what do I know. :)

Never heard this before. Awesome. Members from my 2 favourite bands of all time together. Bonzo gives it substance without over powering the song. That’s why he’s the GOAT. He knows when to bring the thunder and he knows when to be subtle.
Does anyone know the story behind this? Why wouldn't they put this version on the album? Bonham did appear on Rockestra on Back to the Egg though. Just imagine if Bonham had lived, he could have formed a band with McCartney when on hiatus from Zeppelin.

Bonham’s bass drum is surprisingly busy for a song with such a simple piano line. 2.26 fill pure JHB. Bonham normally plays behind the beat but he is really pushing this one.
As John Paul Jones said, John Bonham was known he didn't play ordinary 8 beat unless it's in a certain high tempo like "C'mon Everybody" of Royal Albert Hall Live or "Communication Breakdown". I rather think he really didn't want to "overuse" 8 beat. He did it in 16 beat for the funk feeling as usual. Just becuase he really knew simple 8 beat sounded uncool. A midiocre drummer would choose 8beat without a doubt, 100 out of 100%. Listen to the complete version, of course it sounds like simple 8 beat. No wonder John Bonham went to play in 16 beat and focused on his kick bass drum to made it lead the rhythm... It successfully boosts and makes this song way better. But Paul had got a trouble. He couldn't play his vocal/bass if it was in 16 beat!!!:)

I saw an interview with Jason Bonham where he tells a story of John throwing George Harrison off of a balcony into a pool at a party once.

That groove is soo deep :)
Other people also have the power and tempo. Those aren’t the characteristics that identify Bonham. If I could only use one word to describe him it would be “swagger” and he had it for days

Chris X its bonham wings needed a drummer so john was a friend and stopped bye studio rest is history,nice.
Chris Capp You can tell it’s him after that snare and Tom Tom intro and the funked up bass drum pattern at 0:59 seals the deal!
It's got Bonzo all over it!

My first time hearing this, surprisingly. But from the second that snare was hit, it was unmistakably Bonham. A style that can never be duplicated.
I agree but the best version for me is the 1976 Wings Over America. This is a fantastic version, a jam and fucking brilliant
You are dead on sir! It is amazing!
The best version of this song is the live you mentioned!
Fell asleep on the recliner and woke up to this playing on youtube on the tv. My dad is like “you know john bonham played with paul mccartney?” Im like what?! I cant believe i just discovered this just now. And i have this album and presence both on vinyl. Had no idea the 2 played together!!! This is incredible.
Yep, check out Rockestra by Macca and friends!
Yeah he was probably talking about the Rockestra
The snare...It's all you need to know this is Bonzo😎👍
Yes!!!! as an owner of a LM402 ludwig snare drum I can say it's easily recognizable
And the bass drum
he's the master playing bass-drum... there's no doubt off

Sure, the snare and foot, but you can tell Bonham even by the hihat dynamics. He plays hihats like most people can't even play scissors
Don't mess with Charlotte!
Oh my, you can quickly tell this is Bonzo!
I’ve been a Beatle fan for 50 years and never knew this existed!!! It’s fantastic! So fucking cool.

Zeppelin was in the studio getting ready to record Presence and Paul bumped into Bonham.
the rest is musical history
No. It's a fact that Bonham is on drums and it is well documented
and he did a lot with Mcartney - Rockestra and JPJ Give My Regards to Broadway @@Kos0818

but Bonzo drumming on this moves more. he has more excitement and of course his feel
John bottom hands-down the fucking greatest!
I like the photo of Ringo & Bonzo together :) It's pretty cool!
if his drumming on this was combined with the final version's vocals, it'd be perfect.
A little bit of Paul & John! A Beatle on a Zeppelin with Wings to fly!
I think Zep was at Polar Studios when Paul and Wings were there. Paul indeed asked John to play.
Finally someone with valuable info. Thanks Kevin
Obviously a demo. I'm wondering if Zep was recording in the same building when Paul asked him to play drums to it so he wouldn't lose the idea for the song? The beat almost sounds like achilles last stand slowed down.
Totally agree. Even some of the fills are very achilles like. Love it. Only Bonzo could lay down that groove.
INDEED!

Paul and him were friends. His son said he remembered Paul coming around to his house often when he was young.

It's certainly not Joe English on drums, so it's the Bonham version
How was it overproduced?
@@AiMR I don’t get it either. It’s ones of Paul’s best rockers, the live version is phenomenal.
I can't believe anyone wouldn't think it's Bonham in the internet age. Uh - documentation for it has been out there forever.

And the snare and the bass drum and...
Unmistakable sound! And so full of life!
Mighty Bonham! This footwork is so unique!
The Sound of His Thunder!!!
Bonham unmistakable and shuffling along right in the pocket
This is another example of just how great Bonzo was. The power and heart is from a genius percussionist.
I love Paul McCartney and Wings but he really screwed up by not leaving this version on the album especially with bonham dying in all it just sounds so much more powerful then the watered down version that we got now.

Everybody gangsta till the drums kick in... that instant you just KNOW what's up and who's behind the kit.

Yo también xq me intrigó ese fragmento de Bonham
The happy glissandos toward the end make me think of Lennon on the vox organ at Shea stadium 😂 up n down..up n down lol
I love this, though the drumming on the album version is very sharp and totally fits.
I love this album. Paul McCartney was very smart to get John Bonzo Bonham.
Kind of obvious this mix was done to feature the drums. I understand why, but would be cool to hear the song with the drums sitting in their place.
This version has such a better groove when compared to the one used on the album.
Wow never knew this to be till just now learn something new everyday in the music world. 🤘
Definitely a bonzo groove 💪💪💪
Since Paul probably is playing the bass it must be Denny Laine on that wonderful pounding rif rock n roll piano......
