THE MULE..! Deep Purple Live "Made in Japan" Best, best drum solo ever..! When you play Deep Purple, only play the songs from made in Japan... or you are missing 80% of the talent...!
The difference to me is Bonzo was imo a very visceral player vs Peart's very deliberate, technical style. He would literally compose his drum solos on paper! Bonham would Nevah Evah do THAT! Not sayin' one is better than the other.. just different approaches to their playing. Cheers!
There are 4 historic drum solos to come out of the classic rock period, this one with John Bonham in the song "Moby Dick," Ginger Baker (of Cream) in the song "Toad." Ron Bushy (of Iron Butterfly) in the song "In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida," and Michael Shrieve (of Santana) at Woodstock in the song "Soul Sacrifice." I recommend that you listen to each of the others. 1. For Ginger Baker, you want the live version from the album, Wheels of Fire. It runs 16 minutes. 2. For Ron Bushy, the full length version of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" on the album of the same name (17 minutes). 3. For Michael Shrieve you want the long version of the Woodstock video that runs 13 minutes, not the shortened 6 or 9 minute versions.
I'm on board with your top 4. Also agree on the oft overlooked "Toad" I like the late "Royal Albert Hall" version just because Ginger was OLD and you can watch how easily he plays the drums.!
@@alldayadventures5418 Maybe so, but it lacks the notoriety of the other 4. It also came 3 years after the others...'68, '68, '69, '69. By then most hard rock bands had abandoned the long format numbers with multiple solos. But no doubt about it, Ian Paice is one of the best of the best--top 10 for sure.
He was such a powerhouse. At their live shows, sometimes he would extend this solo for half an hour or more. And this is in the middle of an entire show of drumming and then perhaps in a lot of cases it would just be one night on a tour. The guy had crazy stamina but then again they all did. He was playing the drums with his fingers and hands there for a while but then of course he always has that thunderous kick drum available at any time, which at some point he was doing triplet rolls with in conjunction with the toms. Sometimes he would get so carried away hitting the drums with his hands and he'd cut his fingers on the rims of the drums and he would just keep playing.
Hey, friends! 'Just a mention: guitarist Jeff Beck has just passed away, RIP. Jeff goes back to the days where he played with Jimmy Page in the band, The Yardbirds. Page announced his induction into the R&R Hall of Fame. In fact Jimmy joined Jeff onstage during this concert (i think)at Ronnie Scott's. Friends and fellow musicians. I'm requesting that you'd react to Jeff's song, Freeway Jam from that show. Part of your discovery journey, i hope. P S you're gonna love this drummer, Vinny Colaiuta. And bassist Tal.

@@AirplayBeats if you want great songs from that time period (2007 or so) with that Tal Wilkenfeld Vinnie Colaiuta band, either check out "A Day In The Life" from the Ronnie Scott show or "Cause We've Ended As Lovers" from the 2007 Crossroads festival.
Rock's greatest drummer - John Henry Bonham! Thank You fellas for another great reaction. I've got the feelin' you guys are gonna like the last song on this album the most - "Bring It On Home!"
John Bonham is my Favorite drummer of all time. Such power. You should watch the video of Buddy Rich doing the "Impossible Drum Solo" Absolutely Incredible! Thanks for all the reactions. You guys got the passion!
The whole beginning is played with his hands!!!!! Remember the year? And it makes an album and every music lover knows this song!!!! It is Primal! Not the regular drum solo that EVERY other drummer was doing. Bonzo took it between him and his kit being so personal.
The ultimate power drummer showing unique and subtle accents and yeah, that killer intro, it might be as heavy a riff as they ever propelled from the stage. The drum solo often went on for 10+ minutes live and one that never bored you. He, Bill Ward, Keith Moon, Neal Peart and Cozy Powell are my favorites but Bonham leads the pack. Try 2112 by Rush, a tour de force that will leave you in wonder. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Buddy Rich live when he was in his sixties is something to see...i think he had a mild heart attack after the solo...check that...IMPOSSIBLE DRUM SOLO...UNBELIEVEABLE.
The Song Remains the Same is a live concert with small movie like sequences. "The Dream Sequences". During this song Bonham illustrates his passion for drag racing. The drum solo represents a dragster idling and revving and then idling at the starting line. Watch. You'll see.
Have you fellas listened to any Cream yet? Cream was a three piece electric blues band before Led Zeppelin. They had amazing musicians, including a drummer who refused to be called anything but jazz.
I have an 800 W house stereo” probably 30 years” playing this back in the day when it was over I could hear somebody pounding on my front door” it was my neighbor with the broken picture in his hands.....
Gentlemen, please check out the following magnificent live drum solos ... BRACE YOURSELVES! 1. Ian Paice on "The Mule" from Deep Purple's Fantastic(!) "Made In Japan" Live Album Set (Drum Solo starts at the 28:45 Minute Mark) - czcams.com/video/psFdqiPfhmg/video.html - Plus, the very first song "Highway Star" is a real barn burner that starts the whole compilation off with a bang. 2. Carl Palmer on "Karn Evil 9 - 1st Impression" from the three album live set "Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends ... Ladies and Gentlemen, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer" (Drum Solo starts at the 11:15 Minute Mark) - czcams.com/video/SOmdX-hLDC0/video.html - Enjoy!
Since Legendary guitarist Jeff Beck just passed away , you guys need to do some reactions to his two best albums …Blow By Blow and Wired. This is all instrumental jazz fusion, I think you guys will really like it. Beck is in the top three best guitarist of all time.
This album was significant because they recorded most of the songs while touring Ametica . The studios weren't t the most spacious or had the best equipment and the band were aware that they wanted to track the songs as inexpensively as possible ,but Jimmy was able to make the album cohesive in attitude and sound
THE MULE..! Deep Purple Live "Made in Japan" Best, best drum solo ever..! When you play Deep Purple, only play the songs from made in Japan... or you are missing 80% of the talent...!
Was at this concert. Not being a huge drum solo enthusiast, went to the bathroom during this (it was A LOT longer live.) Little did I know I was missing history. 😟
Bonzo was playing his hands on his snare drum with the snare off and playing his Tom Tom's then he goes to playing with his sticks! Moby-Dick was created when John Bonham just randomly started playing his drums and Jimmy Page came up with the guitar riff off the cuff! Then later John Paul Jones added bass guitar to the track
this is older than rush,but for me, the drum solo from exit stage left(yyz),is far ahead,but he was one of a kind,(bonham)to play whit is hands ,those two are legends for sure,🥁🥁🥁
This must have been said a bunch, but Bonham and Zeppelin have the longest drum solo ever with a live version of this song. I think Bonzo goes for 17 minutes. Epic!
On one of their live show Bonzo did the drum solo .....lights when out and his like 3 year son played the rest of the solo till they all joined in on the end
What also sets Bonham a part is Jeff John's the Producer and engineer never once mic'd the drums up..he didn't have too. The mics were above or around him he played that hard! ..✌️😎✌️
Guy’s you want to check out a 🎵 tune? In memory of a guitar legend we lost yesterday. Jeff Beck “Cause we ended as lovers” amazing musician who will be missed! Have a great day!❤
Bonham's always great on drums. Make sure to hear the studio version of In My Time of Dying sometime, great drum track. Achilles Last Stand is also standout drum song, but many are really.
Drum solos of this length on a studio album are rare outside of the jazz world as you stated. Word is that Bonzo wanted more bass drums but Plant, Paige and Jones said no because he really didn't need them. He was loud enough without more bass drums.
Zep is one of, if not my favorite of all time. Check out Billy Strings, Blue grass but also was in a heavy metal band but got famous for his crazy blue grass songs. He played at the Emmys and is one of the best guitarist today. Check out Dust in a baggy solo. The song he played at the Emmys was incredible too.
The first half of his drum solo, he's using his hands on the drum instead of sticks, playing them like bongos or congas, with the snare flicked off. Thats why it sounds like that. Then in the middle he switches back to sticks and flicks the snare back on. Very creative at that time. Listen to the live version from The Song Remains the Same movie. He has numerous live versions and they're all different from each other. Greatest rock drummer ever in my book.
Where is When the Levee Breaks? I’d love to hear a reaction to this and Kashmir. Also, man I can’t wait for the Wish You Were Here album reaction. Shine On You Crazy Diamond is perfection.
Listening to Moby Dick by itself might seem a little weird as it's an instrumental with an extended drum solo. As a lead-in to bring it on home, it fits in quite nicely. You guys notice how well these albums are engineered. It seems many of the songs are placed in context to others on most of their albums. For example, many Led Zeppelin fans would never think of listening to you shook me with that letting it go right into Dazed and Confused. Communication Breakdown into how many more times. The one Groove compliments the other somehow and it feels good. Thanks for the video!
Every time Bonham tried to employ a double bass, Page and Plant would hide it from him. They told him he didn't need it. I wonder what he would have done? This song is classic live. Drummers today still reacting to it.
Live version coming soon!!
Royal Albert Hall 1970....thats the one you want!!
You will LOVE IT! Greatest drummer there ever was!!
THE MULE..! Deep Purple Live "Made in Japan" Best, best drum solo ever..! When you play Deep Purple, only play the songs from made in Japan... or you are missing 80% of the talent...!
YAAAAAAAAAS.
You will then understand from where those sounds come.
Keep in mind that Bonham had a single base drum and he played most of it with his bare hands.
Beat me to it! lol 👍🏼✌🏼
Yeah he did. If anyone out there has tried it go ahead. Hands might need ice.
@@lookmanohands1966 yeah and a whole Lotta jack Daniels over that ice oh, and hold the ice lol
“Achilles Last Stand” live from Knebworth. Bonhams drumming is insane 🔥🔥🔥
Yes yes yes!!
The live version is a must.
TRUTH!!
This is one you definitely need to see live!
...yeah at royal albert hall 1970 !
@@laurentschaer2864 Agree! Just insanely good - epic!
Coming soon!!

One of my favorite drummers of all time!
My two favorite drummers:

I think they went back even further than that. They grew up in the same area and I think I read somewhere that Jimmy used to date Jeff’s sister.
Rock's greatest drummer - John Henry Bonham! Thank You fellas for another great reaction. I've got the feelin' you guys are gonna like the last song on this album the most - "Bring It On Home!"
This was always Bonham's live solo. Saw them about five times. So, so good.
The live version John does a much longer solo, the whole band just stops and let's him go by himself
That's because they went back stage to have some "lady" and party time, lol.

Traveling riverside blues and hey hey what can I do. You will love them
Buddy Rich live when he was in his sixties is something to see...i think he had a mild heart attack after the solo...check that...IMPOSSIBLE DRUM SOLO...UNBELIEVEABLE.
I'm here for Bonzo!
Awesome way to wake up guys! Thanks!
Yes, I know it's late but my husband is retired and I'm a housewife... We sleep in!

The live version is wayy longer and even more badasss
Neil Peart drum solo, that dude from Rush I heard he can play drums a bit should check him out.....maybe.
You guys are a joy to watch, because you guys love music the way I do! So I feel like I'm listening to the song for the first time! Lol!
Have you fellas listened to any Cream yet? Cream was a three piece electric blues band before Led Zeppelin. They had amazing musicians, including a drummer who refused to be called anything but jazz.
Absolutely. I need to see their reaction to “Toad.”
Yeah, this is one you need to see live Royal Albert hall 1970, it’s around 14 minutes long.
Definitely watch the video. Bonzo was at another level, his jazz musicianship was phenomenal.
I have an 800 W house stereo” probably 30 years” playing this back in the day when it was over I could hear somebody pounding on my front door” it was my neighbor with the broken picture in his hands.....

Thanks.

"I'm scared what's 'bout to happen..." F'N Brilliant! I Love you guys!😊
This song came from the album Houses of the Holy. I used to skip the music & go straight to the drum solo on my vinyl record back in the 70s.
This was the early 70s guys. Makes it even more amazing
I knew they were gonna like that one. Was hoping. Nice.

Playing solo with his hands,great sound
John Bonham was considered to be one of the best drummers ever and changed R & R forever.
Zep’s song “four sticks” was named four sticks because Bonham played the drums with two sticks in each hand.

The greatest drum solo ever is in "Do What You Like" by the band Blind Faith. Incredible stuff!

If you want a full measure of what Bonham could do, you should find the drum solo for a rare but now famous bootleg that use to be called Destroyer
Always watch live version of any led zeppelin's songs
If you liked that Drum Solo, you should review the album Black Sabbath Paranoid in it's entirety.
Excellent. Nobody can touch Zeppelin.
The greatest drum solo!!
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
The answer to the question, one train leaves Chicago and the other leaves California. When do they meet in the middle. When you hear the guitar!!!!!
Where is When the Levee Breaks? I’d love to hear a reaction to this and Kashmir.
Also, man I can’t wait for the Wish You Were Here album reaction. Shine On You Crazy Diamond is perfection.
Thats one vid you need to see
I've been told bonzo had a fascination with drag racing and this solo is meant to imitate tuning an engine.
Look, Mom, no sticks!
Now do the live version from MSG 1973...
This is good, but that live version is amazing! 😳😳🤯😎
Live at Royal Albert hall
' 72 & '73 versions are must see. Bonham is a beast.
In the beginning of the solo he's playing with his hands then he goes to his sticks.
He’s playing that drum solo with his hands
Yes! PLEASE watch live version 👍 this studio version (as amazing as it is) will seem like an appetizer vs a 7-course gourmet meal! 😅

Knew bud on the right would get a kick outta this one 💥🥁
He was the king of the paradiddle.🙃
Yeah, he was palming the drums at times on this, which is what created those unusual tones.
If you want to see him playing that Moby Dick solo watch the movie Led Zeppelin The Song Remains the Same
you know when he puts down the sticks yet could you tell when he picked em back up? Fucking seamless...
check out the song remains the same version, I had the album and it was one side or half of one side great song thank you for checking it out.
