Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening (Headliner) - 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. (Video) Jason represented his father when Led Zeppelin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in January 1995. On December 10th, 2007, Jason played drums in the most anticipated concert of all time - the Led Zeppelin reunion at London's O2 Arena with surviving members Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Robert Plant.
