Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening Tickets

The boys sounded good. The lead singer had Robert Plant high pitched intonation down cold. On the down side, it was all about Jason. The play list included some long boring instrumentals simply because the songs featured more drumming bits. Also, they tried to be too loud for the NAC which resulted in the show becoming monotonous at times. Finally, a cover band should try to recreate the LOOK of the original band. Somehow looking at a young, bald (shaven) lead singer did nothing to evoke the days of a long-locked Robert Plant...

This is a must see for all Led Zepplin and potential Led Zepplin fans;you would not be disappointed. The music, the singing, everything was awesome.

They started off right away with the unforgettable song "Rock and Roll" which put us in the mood right away. They even played "No Quarter" which is another one of my favourites and I never expected to hear it. I was surprised that they didn't play "Immigrant Song" though. Would have loved to hear it. Even though I went by myself, I enjoyed every minute of it.

It was amazing. One of the best concerts yet. Just wish he played Moby Dick since he all about drumming

The NAC has poor acoustics, the bass was distorted. Some songs were done very well, others not. Jason's drumming is extremely good and the lead singer is pretty good.. Can't say his name because nobody was introduced. There was no split screen with his father on the drums playing moby dick. This was disappointing as it was supposed to be the highlight and it was not done... Disappointed.....Very little footage on the screen like the reviews say there is.

Second time i've seen this show... Just as great as the first... (Read my review of last show attended for fuller details, no need to repeat myself.) In a word: GO!

Jason and his band are excellent. I hope they will keep going and I actually hope they will start adding their own music into this group. This is a very talented group.

Was good to see Jason and what he represents, enjoyed the music, they did their own interpretations, very enjoyable. The band seemed very down to erath , not pretentious in any way. Only problem is that in the Jubilee the seats are a little too comfortable and people get a little lazy, they like to sit down---bad idea.....lol. Oh and the ushers were a little zealous running around telling people not to video and take pics and such, this music has been out there for 35-40 years and there are a million videos of all these guys out there so let people enjoy the moment, they aren't hurting anybody and want to record the moment for themselves.

It was an emotional show. It was also spectacular and mind-blowing. Jason shared his talent and life with his family and his emotional bond with his famous father, the late John ‘BONZO’ Bonham, drummer for Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin is one of the worlds most famous Blues and Rock Bands. Jason’s talent is amazing. Along with an epic line up of band mates, Jason with longtime guitarist Tony Catania, James Dylan on vocals and acoustic guitar, Dorian Heartstrong on Bass, Stephen LeBlanc playing keyboards and steel guitars. And a guest appearance by one of the Band’s techs on Harmonica. The Show was so complete. The sound, the Power of Bonham’s Drums, the stage, the home movies and James Dylan’s Rock On Vocals for Robert Plant. It was a masterpiece. It was music of a generation from the best of Rock genius’ and innovators. Guitarist Tony Catania making his guitars sing the song of Jimmy Page, Stephen Leblanc and Dorian Heartstrong keeping the bass and keyboard magic happening for John Paul Jones’ artistry. They were tight and right on the mark. It truly was a visit into the living room of The Bonham childhood home. Home movies, old concert footage and Moby Dick played by two great drummers side by side. The magic of technology and video. We all thought we were at The O2 Concert in London too. Ooh The lucky ones who got to go. We were the lucky ones tonight at The famous Commodore Ballroom. I asked Jason before the show if he “could describe in one word what it meant performing with Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and Jimmy page.” He said he couldn’t, “One word could never describe the feeling” I said “that’s it!, Thank-you, you said it, It could never be said in one word.” He was very emotional and his performance this night was truly spectacular. He is Jason Bonham. He is an amazing drummer. I also showed him my ticket stub from his first show in Vancouver, Dec. 22, 1989. “ My hand was broken for that show” he remembered. So did I. Bonham opened for The Cult that tour. I think like most people there, we wanted to see Bonham. His talent was spectacular then. He played with a broken hand. Tonight he had a cold but you would not have known. From the opening song, Rock N Roll to the finale, Whole Lotta Love, Jason played his heart out for us, His fans, Led Zeppelin’s fans and BONZO’s Fans. I could not describe it in one word either. Thank-You Jason and to your Mates, Thanks to the staff too for all your help,It was a night to remember!

It was such a great experience to see this show. It was the closest I will ever get to the real thing and truly appreciate the fact that Jason Bonham is carrying on the Led Zeppelin legacy. The vocals were as "Robert" as could possibly be and the music itself was remarkably played. I really deemed this to be one of the most enjoyable evenings of my life - certainly one of the most enjoyable concerts I have seen. As someone who adores everything about Led Zeppelin from the music itself to the personalities of each member, it was just surreal as I was no where near born when Zep was playing together; the Led Zeppelin Experience made some dreams come true for me in a way.

From the opening bars my wife and I knew the evening was going to be LOUD. Given the venue that was not needed. The kick drum and bass guitar blurred though some sort of sub woofer that just about knocked your fillings out. Overall for true Zeppelin fans the night did not disappoint...the music was great and the lead vocals were spot on..but again shrieking loud at times. I saw the original Led Zeppelin twice back in the day and they were better balanced even in big arenas. The lead guitar was muffled and not crisp. I understand that Jason was fighting a cold/flu but did his best to live up to the saying "the show must go on".

I found the band to be a just a good "cover band" for Led Zeppelin. Could not get into them as I thought I would and when the intermission came I bailed on the event...so only saw half of it.

The show was unbelieveable excellent, fantastic. Highly recommend seeing the show. It was like Led Zepplin was actually playing so real!! Music selection was great many of the old songs Led Zepplin played.

the sound and music was just FANTASTIC! Jason would speak inbetween some songs to talk about his dad and other Led Zepp members. If you closed your eyes you would think it was Robert Plant singing and not James Dillon. Jason is a great drummer for sure

If you love zeppelin but never had the chance to experience them live; this my friends, is the next best thing. All I can say it was an Incredible experience, the music was pure and the talent these boys have are off the charts. Each band member brought their game and excelled. As others mentioned, if you close your eyes, it's sounds and feels like the original led zep lineup. As a musician, I grew up listening to zep and other great artists, but seeing Jason Bonham and crew live; that was the cherry on the sundae. Jason was picture perfect and dare I say better the bonzo (let's be honest, who better to teach Jason than the master himself). The love this guy has to his family (entire band old n new) shows and is felt. The bandmates and their talents were phenomenal. I would recommend this show to everyone who wants to experience led zeppelin and these boys did exactly that.

Excellent show!! They did a great job! Jason was rocking a cold which made him a little hard to understand at times, loved the old videos. Stairway to Heaven was unforgettable!!

I saw Jason perform last time he visited Calgary, and loved it so much I had to go again and i'm glad I did! I recommend for anyone who loves The Zep. (And really, who doesn't?)

Great show! Where else are you going to hear Led Zepelin done that faithfully. It was loud and rocking just the way a rock concert should be. The whole band was awesome. The only downside was that the instrumentation at times over shadowed the lead singer. That being said, the lead singer was awesome.

Great artists playing great music. A total rockin experience thats highly recommended

Great Show! second time seeing them and they rocked as John did!
