Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening will perform at the Greek
Theatre in Los Angeles on May 28. Encompassing hits from the iconic
band’s entire career, including albums Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin
II, Led Zeppelin IV and Physical Graffiti, the concert event
celebrates the life and music of Jason’s father, the legendary Led
Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, with “…a band that recreates Led
Zeppelin’s music to such a degree that one can’t help but close
their eyes and simply listen…” [-Classic Rock Revisited]. At just
five-years-old, Jason Bonham could play the drums, and by 17, he was a
member of the band Air Race. The group signed a record contract with
Atlantic Records, recorded one album, and opened for big names like
Queen, Meat Loaf, Ted Nugent, and AC/DC. Additionally, Jason filled in
for his late father, John Bonham to help keep his memory alive. In
1988, Jason took his father's spot in the televised, first-ever Led
Zeppelin reunion at the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert,
which included Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones. Later
than year, he went on to tour with Page and recorded the album
Outrider with him. In 1995, he represented his father again when Led
Zeppelin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Jason has
toured, recorded, and collaborated with a wide range of legendary
musicians throughout his career including, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page,
Paul Rogers, Slash, Jeff Beck, Peter Frampton, The Healing Sixes and
many more.
