He actually wasn't really all that quiet he was just quiet in comparison to the other 3 who had over the top personalities. Jones was actually quite loud
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.
@@Jeff-qs6nd We are in agreement. Another I've met is Steven Winwood, class act. Also, I have been able to speak with Don "Buck Dharma" Roeser a few times over the decades. He is a sweetheart.
Greatest concert ever preformed where you there the 27th that was the best one I can’t believe not only where you there but you met him did you see the other guys?
@patrickwalling1636 Jimmy Page was the producer, and the one responsible for the final sound, not JPJ. Don't get me wrong Jonesy was and still is a phenomenal musician .

It was too much seeing the singer of my favorite band as a real person... and the guy seems like an alien, he practically glows... it's hard to explain.

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!
Looking at my Led Zeppelin ticket stubs from 1971,1972,and 1975 I don’t know what happen to my 1973 stub from Albuquerque NM but will keep the other three until I die. Simply the best JPJ.
in my opinion they all wouldn’t have been that big without the other. they all brought such a unique element to the band. it wouldn’t have been the same without plant, page, jones, or bonham. though jones is the most talented musician in the band, i think.
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!
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!!!
In a classic band line up, the team on bass and drums are as essential as the assholes on guitar and vocals. As, in my past and still currently recording, being one of the assholes on guitar and now sometimes vocals, I would never have made the music I have without the brilliant drummer and bass player in my completely unknown band. Accelerate that upwards to the levels of JPJ and Bonham, Entwhistle/Moon, Ian Paice/Roger Glover, and even later bands like The Jam (Buckler/Foxton) - key thing is, they are so often the beating heart of music and I will love them all as much as the guys in the spotlight 😍
@@RobXHEphotosPs37.29 Nah, cuz Waters main contribution was songwriting and lyrics. Jones is a great musician that can play many instruments. That Pink Fraud group brought in many outside writers to try to make those songs sound a little like Floyd. The original songs put forth by Gilmour at that time were rejected for not sounding like Floyd.
@@stickman1742 True regarding Jones….many different views as far as Waters…..it was nice that “Pink Fraud” was very lyrically diverse, instead of Waters WW2 & Syd obsessions.
For those who don't know, the name of the first piece he plays is "Nosumi Blues" from his 1999 album Zooma. "When the Levee Breaks" starts around 1:53.
It is like he is FINALLY getting the respect he totally deserves, late in life while he is in his golden years. I love hearing the fans cheer for this underappreciated musical master. Zeppelin would not have been nearly as good without him. And that is no overstatement.
Those of us who grew up with zep and others as the soundtrack to our lives could name 100 rockers that perhaps 1 in 10 others have heard of. I have a lady friend in her 50's who couldn't name the guitar player in Led Zeppelin let alone the bass player. Jack Black did the intro for Zep at the Kennedy Center. He mentioned Bonzo and the audience did not get the reference. My point? Jpj gets his due respect but he is after all merely the bass player in the band that performed STH.
Yep, Jimmy's giving more interviews....and the embellishments of his are becoming more and more over the top. Too much Ludwig von Page in his head. His boastings, which need no exaggerations, are becoming excruciating. Wish my hero would just play something/anything. Tick tok.
Good to hear him on his own, he is wonderful here, its often sometimes hard to distinguish what part he plays other than the keyboard, its hard to pick up in the songs his contribution, when he plays the guitar! so happy to see it was him playing this in When the Levee Breaks, its a beautifully composed piece of music that adds that eastern vibe like what made zeps music to my mind! I dont say any of them is better than the other it was the 4 of them that created that great symphony and synergy of energy that made them who they are, their energies caught fire and burned bright and they are still burning bright today! Their flame will never die! ❤
Wow! What a treat! Jonsey front n center! I never understood why he was always heard but not seen. His contribution to the music world is enormous . Deserves to be acknowledged and honored.
The very best underrated musician I've heard and seen. It's too bad his peers don't acknowledge him the way they should. They can learn from him too, the genius that he is. Keep going JPJ.
Read the comments. Underrated and Jonesy don't belong in the same sentence or paragraph. Millions of people think of him as a legendary musician. He's just quiet and humble about it.
@@onlyfromadistance7326anyone who says Plant (or any member of Zeppelin) ‘sucks’, just smirk and move on. That person doesn’t know music and just wants to be a contrarian anyway.
@zzyzxRDFwy15 He didn't suck singing live in 1971 or any other year with the exception of '75 when he was recovering from throat surgery. In '71 he was untouchable, as good as it gets.
John Paul Jones. The secret weapon of Led Zeppelin. I understand why they didn’t go on after Bonham passed. Each one brought something unique to the group.
I was lucky enough to see him play with Them Crooked Vultures. He segued in to No Quarter at one point and I was briefly in rock n roll heaven. Absolute legend and an incredibly talented keyboard and bass player 🙌
been a Zep fan my whole life...58 now, JPJ and JB were the driving force, RP and JP are legend of course but can we all just imagine what they would have produced if tragedy didn't end the Band?
Good old John Baldwin - at the end of the day, he was the most reliable, most professional and most foundational member of the band. He was the rock in a sea of madness. When all these other guys were partying, getting drunk, doing heroin, fist-fighting, tossing televisions out of the upper floor of some hotel, etc. _he_ was in the studio constantly creating; constantly doing myriad projects that most people never knew he was doing. He'll outlive them all in the end, too.
Excellent! It sounded like the intro portion was sort of playing off the melody of "Nobody's Fault But Mine" before JPJ transitioned over to "When the Levee Breaks". Anyone else pick up on that idea or did my imagination get the better of me? The ending also threw out a short snippet of "In My Time Of Dying".
still remember the first time i came across led zeppelin, it was the summer of 75. i woke & walked into the stereo/record player room i seen a new album there...Led Zeppelin IV, i sat with the headphones on for hours on end listening over & over, music was always a huge thing in my life, Next i found Hendrix & the journey to learn how to play guitar was on!!
Outstanding- its like watching Arnold palmer at the end of his career- walk down 18 waving his cap, we don't care what he shot, just want to see him and thank him for all the memories, Jonsey- same thing- he can sit and play Anything and We'd listen- just want to see and hear Him do his thing. I would listen and watch Page tune his guitar... All the Members of Zep Had and still Have Made Game when it comes to their Craft. If Page, Plant and JPJ sat and just did battle of evermore, Tangerine, Going to California and thats the way- they would turn out folks to rival a Taylor Swift tour and she deserves all the accolades she has gotten and will continue to get- but These guys Were and Are Just Special
Led Zep's secret weapon, the quiet guy who was the glue in the band on Bass and Keyboards or whatever instrument he desired.
Absolutely!💯
Non evil.
He actually wasn't really all that quiet he was just quiet in comparison to the other 3 who had over the top personalities.
Jones was actually quite loud
He's definitely the most underrated musician of all time
@@michaeloneil4586 That's what I heard long ago..No deal. Guess he didn't need it..haha
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
Watched Robert Plant last week playing Gallows Pole, Rain Song, Four Sticks and loving every minute
Those two front guys got too big for their britches! Lol,just kidding I love them all.
Why are you dissing them? Are they puppets that owe you?
He got TONS of credit. Since the 1960s
Thanks man
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. 👈

Do tell
Yeah... and pretty much nothing else
Ps..saw Led Zeppelin way back in 77
That was one of their later albums, I recommend LZ 1 through 4
