How the songs of this great band and John Paul Jones himself can bring the world together and tears to my eyes.
-
John Paul Jones never cared about the spotlight. But his presence is always known~
-
Susan Tedeschi's singing here raises the hair on my body! Lord, have mercy!
-
That lady from New Zealand sent shivers !
-
This man was the backbone of Led Zeppelin, creative genius and truly nice person.
-
that woman from New Zealand has an amazingly beautiful voice
-
I met John Paul Jones in a bar in Long Beach. He was on holiday with Wife and son, real cool guy. Had a few Heineken's and talked about Rock & Roll.
-
Wow!!! Just Wow!!! ... and that Harmonica... he caught the very Soul of this classic and just blew it back down from the heavens. ❤
-
That bassist John Paul Jones is really good, he should join a band he’d make it big
-
Blown away. The sonic addition of the Maori lady and the Norwegian singer was just extreme. Takes this song we all know, to a whole different place, and sinks the message in that much more.
-
“Crying won’t help you , prayer won’t do you no good”. One of the greatest lines I have ever heard.
-
Zeppelin was a very rare moment. Four individual genius and virtuosos in his own paths. And with gigantic chemistry as a team. Even Beatles wasn't so balanced individually and as a team.

I've read at least 1 million youtube comments about "underrated" bands, singers, musicians, etc. But there simply is no human being more underrated than John Paul Jones. He played: Bass guitar, guitar, recorder, koto, lap steel guitar, autoharp, ukulele, clavinet, sitar, keyboards, keytar, mandolin, cello, harp, chitarrone, lirone, viola da gamba and percussion He sang vocals in the greatest rock band in history. He's a composer, and has been in 9 movies/vid's. He has been an active musician for almost 60 YEARS. I say again: There simply is no human being more underrated than John Paul Jones. Period.
-
Susan and Derek we're perfect for this. Whoever booked this did a fantastic job.
-
Whhooooo Nelllie!!! What a presentation! Thanks to everyone that participated.
-
Mihirangi…WOW what pipes!!!
-
Susan Tedeschi is such a stellar, class act.
-
The musicians are all incredible but the people that mixed and engineered it are geniuses.
-
Can’t wait to see Derek & Susan July 2024 at RED ROCKS…
