JASON BONHAM And Friends Perform ROBERT PLANT Classic; Video Available - Nov. 6, 2009
Video footage of Jason Bonham (LED ZEPPELIN) and his band performing "Like I've Never Been Gone", a song from ROBERT PLANT's first solo album, 1982's "Pictures at Eleven", on October 30, 2009 at The Canyon in Agoura Hills, California can be viewed below.

The musicians in the video are as follows:

Jason Bonham (drums)
Ian Hatton (guitar)
Doug Henthorn (vocals)
Francesco DiCosmo (bass)
Tony Catania (guitar)

According to Lemon Squeezings, Bonham had five dates scheduled this month, billing shows as "An Evening with Jason Bonham." During shows, his band played songs from his own past as well as from that of his father, the late LED ZEPPELIN drummer John Bonham.

One song from Jason Bonham's own past is one that required a spoken introduction from the man behind the drum kit. Bonham spoke up before performing "Like I've Never Been Gone" to tell a story about his own life and how he came to be involved in Plant's post-ZEPPELIN career in those days.

To set the scene, the 44-year-old described the setting as "a period in my life which was a bit — quite sad, really.

"I was 14 years old and had just lost my father and really didn't know what to be doing in life, but Mr. Plant came along, picked me up from school one day. He said, 'Would you like to come and jam?'

"So I did, and we went to his house, and Robert was working on the first solo album, 'Pictures at Eleven'. And this, to me — I did all those demos, by the way, before Phil Collins came along...

"It was a great moment, and it was a great time where I could just forget about that Dad had gone and just be playing music. It really helped me through it.

"This song means a lot to me."

According to Classic Rock magazine, Bonham did these gigs by way of tribute to Daniel MacMaster, the Canadian frontman who sang on the two albums from BONHAM (1989's "The Disregard Of Timekeeping" and 1992's "Mad Hatter"). MacMaster died on March 16, 2008, from a Group A streptococcal infection. He was 39 years old.

Jason explained: "Tragically, Daniel passed away and I always regretted the fact that I didn't do more for him during his lifetime. Just like myself, Daniel struggled with his addictions so that's something I know all about.

"2009 is the 20th anniversary of 'The Disregard Of Timekeeping', so I [wanted] to pay tribute to what was a great period in all our lives. Whether anything new will come out of it, I don't know. It's all about having fun."

I hope Jason takes this thing out on the road. Lots of great tunes to choose from. Great band too......Doug Henthorn is an overlooked player & singer. His band Healing Sixes is fantastic. Cool to see Jason doing this type of thing.
