John Paul Jones Lap Steel - When the Levee Breaks -Live Big Ears 2024 - Led Zeppelin

Led Zep's secret weapon, the quiet guy who was the glue in the band on Bass and Keyboards or whatever instrument he desired.

At least one of them still enjoys playing Zeppelin tunes. He's the heart and soul of that band and doesn't get nearly enough credit. Thumbs up JPJ

I’ll be a fan of JPJ till the day I die. One of the most important figures in the history of contemporary music. Absolute legend. 👈

He did everything right joined ⁽ᵉᵈᶦᵗᵉᵈ ˢᵒ ᵗʰᵉ ᵖᵉᵈᵃⁿᵗˢ ʷᶦˡˡ ˢᵗᶠᵘ⁾ was in one of the greatest bands of all time, kept the worst excesses of rock and roll at arm's length while enjoying the wealth but remaining in the shadows compared to his bandmates. Carried on doing what he loved throughout the years and is still doing so at 78. Bravo Jonesy🥰

Why did all those Zeppelin records sound so damn good?.... THIS GUY!

I was privileged to meet him after one of the Madison Square Garden concerts in July 1973. I was the bag caddy for our local newspaper's music reporter. Mr. Jones noticed me quietly standing off to the side as Paul was speaking with Robert and Jimmy. He approached, held out his hand, asked my name and why I was there. He was very kind to this then 16 year old. He was pleased to hear me tell him that my uncle Ed had brought me to see them in Boston in January 1969 on their 1st US tour as an early 12th birthday present.

Both he and John Entwistle were the glue of their respective Bands.

JPJ is a musical virtuoso. I love and admire him so much. Thanks for the post.

Supposedly when Plant refused to do more shows after the 02 show, Page, Jones and Jason discussed the idea of going out without a singer at all and just doing the stuff instrumental and jamming, too bad they didn't!

In my opinion Led Zeppelin would have never been that big without John Paul Jones, to me me he truly was the unsung hero of that band!

An incredibly gifted musician. Love his sense of humor.

This man sat quietly by but was such an important part of Led Zeppelin and a musical virtuoso.

That is a dignified way to get old….im following your lead man!

I saw him in 2000. He was with the drummer from The Black Crows (who plays Bonham with ease and finess as he also did with Page Live at The Greek)and a stick player. He played 14 songs with 10 diffrent instruments. It was INSANE! Definitely the most diverse member of Zeppelin and far often not respected or appreciated!

Jones has been my favorite musician since the first time I ever heard Led Zeppelin. If not for him,In Through the Out Door never would have happened

And the two that still forget his phone # get the all the praise....rock on JP!

He's a class act.

Nobody’s Fault but Mine is all over this jam. So cool to see it played live.

The Glue Behind Zeppelin. Along With Bonzo, The Backbone and Back Beat Behind Zep. The Secret Weapon Indeed. A Humble Genius. Long Live JPJ and Led Zeppelin. A Grateful Forever Fan!!!

He sounds like a whole freaking band!!
