In addition to great music filling the guitarist has pleased the public a variety of guitars - from the classic to a variety of bizarre shapes. And then the musicians performed one of their ballads in acoustics.

John Paul Jones

              Some says that John Paul Jones was the "brain" of Led Zeppelin.He now plays with Them Crooked Vultures,a band that sounds very good in my opinion.He is an excellent guitar player and a authority of bass guitar.Also he has excellent studio mastering skils.
              When Led Zeppelin ended in 1980 after the tragic death of John Bohnam, Jones continued his musical career, producing  and arranging albums for other artists; he also wrote songs, and then film scores for movies likes Scream for Help, Risk, and The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb.

The same music just played a little slower

Led Zeppelin performed at the O2 Arena in London on Monday and left John Paul Jones, Jason Bonham on drums Robert Plant and Jimmy Page band-after the death of John Bonham in 1980, photos more >.
Some rock band LONDON — supple tempos of them when they make their decade old music after the fact. Play fast is a type of armor: refutation. Real simple's age — unregainable enthusiasm and synapsids lost then all collectively — and block the band heavy lessened of cultural importance.
But Led Zeppelin delay of interruption to little O2 arena here on Monday. In a full concert of the first set but 1980 — by John Bonham, who died last year, but with the. His men into a natural substitute Jason — the band found much older in tempos in power that more graceful than on the old save cash. The speed of music ran near the Group's third Studio record, or slow the "good easy" frosted winter time mountain Hop "and" whole Lotta Love "was confident cruises" Dazed and confused "crawled the glorious epoch.
All back to the blues that completely decomposed is a good start and Led Zeppelin with the idea of the half. Singer Robert Plant's band doesn't want you to remember: he suggests "Trampled under foot" by describing a Robert Johnson "Terraplane Blues" and mentions Blind Willie cho nasan is the inspiration for "who's fault but mine (aside from the band that 10 minutes each in two luxuriant blues and other songs from the catalog of the latter:" because I love you "and" in my time of Dying).
Ahmet Ertegun at the concert is dedicated enough. Sure he has of the centrality of black American music under culture. Signed, Mr. Ertegun, who died last year Led Zeppelin to Atlantic records. Displays the edit, which is useful for Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund, which will offer music education scholarship to study with the University in the United States. English and Turkish homeland of him.
By the end of more than two-hour show of Zeppelin it, hard to remember someone on the list, but the music industry was preceded by Bill Wyman the dented Prefecture shows the Rhythm Kings — and good with blues timey singer Paolo Nutini as well, and Albert Lee, including a few songs each, with Paul Rodgers (of free and bad company) and foreigners revolving — all recorded for Atlantic under Mr. Ertegun.
With the kind of calmness about Led Zeppelin theme it was well rehearsed the same thing: planning and finance, operating since April under. Band members wore black clothes instead of their most wardrobes candy colors, Mick Jagger, Mr. Unlike old Plant — the life of the original 51 members — not walk and gesture like girls that exciting anymore. Some of the top of his voice, but except for one tried and failed to note in "stairway to heaven" ("a walk to all la-dy that we know ..."), He found other melodic path to suit him. He trusted. He has a good reputation.
Not for Jimmy Page, his guitar solos as articulated by, and that they used to be, but only drove home the point that they are always minor riffs that Monday is enormous bitter ' (he did produce a bow violin for his solo on "dazed and confused" during great music spooky global)
John Paul Jones bass line have lost little in the acoustics of the Hall — like all O2 Arena location such as 22000-seat rough on low frequency — but he carefully in your pocket with Jason Bonham when he could not be cached played keyboard on "mu" and "no quarter" and he is ready to do some other pedal bass with his feet secured with groove that far behind the pace.
And what of Jason Bonham, the big question of what — there is no way to prove this, but let's just rounding it off — Reunion rock projected in age full of them? He is an expert in the rhythm of his father. Encyclopedia of variation of them all, in all existing and also some small areas where he has been adding a tattoo. He stuck with the sound and feel of the original Smacks of snare drum does not have a single timbre, sound matched coarse reverberant but is present in two hours and some sound problems gradually corrected. You find yourself not worrying about it anymore, it all works.
Led Zeppelin has semi-reunited a few times in the past with success, not so much: short problem sets of Live Aid in 1985, and Atlantic records at the 40 anniversary concert in 1988, but this is a coalition that band with investing, although the fact that there is no plan for tourism in the future. Among the 16 songs is one has never played live before: "For Your Life from the album" presence "
To dance in the Hall that was extreme and genuine roars crowd during encores. ravenous at the end of it all is a member of the original three then knelt before the bend, Mr. Bonham and genuflected.
