I appreciate the comment. Very happy to hear the emotions that it brought out. That’s what I hope for when I post these videos. To let others experience a little piece of what I did. I haven’t had much to share recently, and been very busy personally. But a show tonight, and tomorrow, and a great Voyage show in March. Hopefully something else brings you back there.
I used to go watch that at "Midnight Movies" in NYC. Always loud and fun! For years that was played. It's actually a miracle it's as good as it is, considering how botched it was during shooting.
I have to catch the Zepagain show if I ever see it around for sure. Heard they are great from others as well. Thanks for joining our community and chat!
I couldn’t agree more! Thanks for commenting, glad you are a fan, I’m going to try and make it to a showing of his movie. He’s just so much fun to watch.
They are a true must-see for any Zeppelin fan! This is as close as you get. Close your eyes, and you're transported. Or watch Mr. Jimmy and keep your eyes open! He has all the moves.
I saw the Jason Bonham band at a bar on 6th St. in Austin called Babe's. So good. It was their first Album called the Disregard of timekeeping. Very good album, great show. They also played Black Dog at some point. It was so cool.
That's cool. I remember buying that album when it first came out. There was a lot of hype about it at the time but then it didn't do that well. I think people expected his band to be like Zeppelin? Why? He's his own person. Like Wolfgang Van Halen. He has made some great songs, but he is not his father and his music is go-to be his own. But both of them can play their fathers parts perfectly. WVH had much more time with his dad though. Thanks for commenting!
Having seen Jimmy Page with the Firm, Solo and Page/ Plant this man is absolutely incredible. Absolutely spooky, spot on rendition from the film. Absolutely fantastic.🎸⚡🔥☠️
Right?!?!?!! You get it! Glad you liked it and thanks for adding to the conversation. Mr Jimmy movie just came out about him. He has spent his whole life honoring Jimmy Page.
The drums just didn't have the "BONZO" vibe. As a 72 year old drummer, I consider myself a purist when it comes to "reproducing" a certain sound, the kick drum lacks the THUD you'd hear from what was used in the original composition. If you want to COPY Zeppelin, Zeppelin equipment is necessary!
thanks spag', jim sakurai', with members of king cool ' both japanese', would be a great combo on some jimi hendrix' properly done', cream', and any good 60- 70s rock', love it peace
Well that's a tough set of shoes to fill, but can't argue. Plant had his own rough outings. Singing like that and touring the way they did tore his vocal chords up.
I haven't heard about the Blackmore guy but Mr. Jimmy has been around for a long time doing this. There is a documentary movie on him that was just released yesterday in select theaters. He has spent his whole life on this. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Sakurai is absolutely phenomenal. People that don't get it, don't get it. There is no doubt to me that there are times he surpassed Page if we were to compare live recordings. Especially from the 75 tour. The entire band was struggling at one point. There were times Bonzo didn't play his solo, Jimmy was doing minimal soloing and they were doing 2 hour shows instead of their legendary 3 to 3-1/2. But nobody can be perfect every night with what they were doing! So yeah, I agree. The JBLZE experience is one of the most underrated shows around. There are some other really good tribute bands, but JBLZE is a step above, and not just because it's Bonzos son.
@@Spagzdidn’t they cut down on the improvisation in response to the punk movement? They were trying to keep up with the kids when the fashion was wam bam 50s rock and roll 3 min song style , going against the indulgence and pomp that was infecting rock at the time. The difference between the imitator and jimmy page and zeppelin is zeppelin created this music, which always implies obstacles which any creator is destined to suffer, where the imitation is doing something already established. Zeppelin is solidified today but at the time the critics didn’t like them, fans at times didn’t support their changes (zeppelin III sold poorly at first), and they were young men still maturing. Mr jimmy is over 50, he has command of himself. A 25 year old doesn’t.
@@Gcssdvnkloiutesc Very well said. I think ( having been there) Prog rock killed ‘Rock’ not punk. Punk was back to basics pure energy in small accessible clubs, and was a welcome relief from the bloated crap some bands were pushing out. Led Zep ‘4’ was untitled to piss off all the critics. So as you say, they didn’t have it easy. This guy is amazing isn’t he ?
Yeah Right... lmmfao!! Page made this music MANY years ago on outdated equipment And recorders and Page is and will always be BETTER than this dude SMH .
@@SpagzActually 75 the band was fantastic live... Zep never played under 2 hours till 80 & that was like 1hour /57 minutes. Shorter shows as they became the biggest band EVER in the beginning also .
If I ever get the chance I certainly will! Thanks! Going to see a band called Kashmir in April but I don't expect anything even remotely close to Mr. Jimmy. Hopefully they will be good though! Thanks for watching and commenting. Sorry I took so long to respond. Had COVID for the last week and just not myself.
I just listened to it through my car stereo. It sounded OK to me overall. I mean it's a cell phone camera/mic so... LOL I know it seems to cut/compress when it gets too much volume, which is better than it clipping Thanks for the feedback though, I appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it. This video is starting to gain a little traction and I'm glad. This is such an awesome song. Just not one of their more popular numbers. 🥁🎸🎸🥁
@@chicklets4ever51 I agree. I actually put on one of my videos "this is how you play the blues" or something like that. A couple people said "that's not the blues". Really? Did you listen to it, or just look at the guy playing? It may not be Robert Johnson or BB King, but that's the blues!
@@Spagz It's pure blues. People just don't know their stuff and then expose their ignorance on the internet. A lot of rock boils down to the blues, even if on a superficial level it may not sound like it. Take the Beatles' instrumental, "Flying," from Magical Mystery Tour. It may sound like a psychedelic circus song, but it's actually a basic twelve-bar blues. Or Pink Floyd's "Crazy Diamond." It may stretch out the form quite a bit, but it is another great original blues in the rock canon.
the singer used to be a great UA-cam Zeppelin singer. I think now he's just not feeling it. I mean, Jimmy is playing "live" related material and he's singing "studio" related material and it's not really mixing as well as it could.
@@chebrneck I know that's how Jason found him because he mentions it. Otherwise I would not have known. I know what you mean though. Part of it may just be the amount of shows they do. They play quite often from what I understand. I think there are 2 performers in a band who have physically demanding jobs that can wear out from playing too much. Different kind of physical of course, but the singer and the drummer. Especially as we age. Plant struggled with it for sure, as young as he was. Bonzo didn't seem to, but he had superhuman energy. 🤣 The toll it took on him was mentally.
Agree! Dee Snider was pretty good too. To me, this band is all bout Mr. Jimmy and Jason. But the singer does a decent job, often excellent depending on the song.
Imagine spending your entire life trying to become someone else. I read an article about this guy and I think it's the most pathetic thing I've ever heard. So sad.
I don't see it that way at all, but I do understand your way of seeing it. I know how it makes me feel when he plays and that's what I find to be the opposite of sad. He seems happy. Thanks for watching and commenting.
so great at looking and playing like Page
Thanks man 😊
We have an almost genetic match to jimmy. No wonder why he is so good.
He is phenomenal! Thanks for commenting and watching.
If I didn't watch the video I’d swear I was listening to the real Zeppelin... amazing! ❤
Thank you again for commenting Marcia. You always have something nice to say. Glad you enjoyed it. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Jason Bonham. Thank you Mr Jimmy Sakurai. For keeping the LZ live music going! Absolutely Brilliant
Love this! I appreciate the comment and the sentiment behind it. 👍🏻
Absoluty yes
@@jorgehumbertozumayasilvas1330 thank you for that
Mr jimmy is incredible. I normally don’t respect cover bands/artists, but this man is an artist.
Yes sir he is! Thanks for commenting. I appreciate it. He is a true pleasure to watch.
It is surreal watching and listening to him play! There are moment's where you swear it's page!
Absolutely. Perfect word, Surreal.
Jimmy is amazing! That singer did an unbelievable job too.
Yes, and yes! All talented guys there. Thanks for joining the conversation 🤘🏻🎸🥁
Everytime I here this man from the rising sun play guitar I get goosebumps!
Me as well. It got so quiet.
What I just witnessed hit me hard. This is a time trip to when it was all okay.
I appreciate the comment. Very happy to hear the emotions that it brought out. That’s what I hope for when I post these videos. To let others experience a little piece of what I did. I haven’t had much to share recently, and been very busy personally. But a show tonight, and tomorrow, and a great Voyage show in March. Hopefully something else brings you back there.
I AM totally proud of Mr. Sakurai as one of lotta Zep fans from Japan.
Thanks for commenting! Yes, I understand Japan has a big Led Zeppelin following. I can certainly understand you being proud of Mr. Jimmy!
In 73 when it came out Zep didnt tour. The song remains the same was in theaters with big ass speakers, a total hit and epic video still today.
I used to go watch that at "Midnight Movies" in NYC. Always loud and fun! For years that was played. It's actually a miracle it's as good as it is, considering how botched it was during shooting.
The song remains the same didn't hit theaters till 1975 and led Zeppelin was on turn 73 so what the hell are you talking about
@@Robert-iw5gq The filming took place during the summer of 1973, sorry for the discrepancy jerk.
Saw them a couple months ago at the Greek Theater in LA. Just Phenomenal, what a Great tribute to his Dad and the band. Mr. Jimmy IS Amazing!
My next show is in 3 weeks. Looking forward to it. Yeah, Mr. jimmy kind of steals the show but all extremely talented. Thanks for commenting.
OMG! Absolutely amazing! All of them! Wow!
Glad you enjoyed it so much! Thank you very much.
I was in Lawrenceburg Indiana seven years ago and Jimmy’s 9th show with JBLZE. Following him for couple years w/LedZepAgain before Bonham
I have to catch the Zepagain show if I ever see it around for sure. Heard they are great from others as well. Thanks for joining our community and chat!
All band plays faaaaantastic!!!! i'm a big fan of Mr. Jimmy !!!! Congrats !!! 👍👍👍
I couldn’t agree more! Thanks for commenting, glad you are a fan, I’m going to try and make it to a showing of his movie. He’s just so much fun to watch.
Great performance. James Dylan did a great job on vocals too.
Indeed he did! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for joining the conversation 🙂
Wow! Does he ever look and play like Page. Also, how on earth is this singer so good? Sounds almost exactly like Plant, it's uncanny.
They are a true must-see for any Zeppelin fan! This is as close as you get. Close your eyes, and you're transported. Or watch Mr. Jimmy and keep your eyes open! He has all the moves.
The singer is ok but I prefer Mr Jimmys singer August Young a lot better. Has the voice and looks.
I saw the Jason Bonham band at a bar on 6th St. in Austin called Babe's. So good. It was their first Album called the Disregard of timekeeping. Very good album, great show. They also played Black Dog at some point. It was so cool.

This is art! Thank you Jason and Mr. Jimmy.❤❤
Thank you, for commenting. And in another thread I got a guy telling me how this is not blues…
Harpoon … right to my soul
What a great statement. "Harpoon"! Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it.
he is spot on perfect can't get any closer than that
No arguing from me dude! He really does get them all perfect.
Mr Jimmy rocks !!🤘🤟
Agree! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I have respect for anyone that puts effort into the art of music 🎶 . Saw many of players
Glad you got something from it! Thanks for commenting.
My God!!! Mr. Jimmy is unbelievable ❤
Beautiful!
So glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for letting me know. 👍🏻🎸🥁
The Greatest Blues Song of all Time! Oh Ya, Great Arrangement! "Jason" Dad would be Very Proud! 💪
So glad you liked it! It's an amazing song for sure. Had a guy say "That's not the blues". Really????
Balada...?

Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting.
It's an amazing song they did very well. Glad you enjoyed it as well. Thanks for watching.
Did Jimmy play in a Free cover band in japan years ago under the name Tons of sobs. Great talent played paul Kossoff like nobody else
I couldn't say on that. Possibly some more knowledgeable Jimmy Sakurai fans will comment.
Fantastic!
So glad you liked it! Thanks for letting me know.
guy playing guitar is absolutely insane i lovethe bald guy too hes so cute
Bald guys are always cute 🤣😎
Yeah Jimmy can play! Thank you for commenting.
Right down to Jimmy Paige’s facial expressions while he hits every cord spot on.
It's uncanny. He's amazing. Every racial expression, the walk, the way he hits the pedals, his strumming. Thanks for watching.
Amazing 👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know.
Damn that’s good.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
thanks spag', jim sakurai', with members of king cool ' both japanese', would be a great combo on some jimi hendrix' properly done', cream', and any good 60- 70s rock', love it peace

Wow so good 😅😂😁⚡🔥💥🎸💥🔥⚡🔥💥🎸☮️♾️.i went to gradeschool with heroshi sakuria 😮 he kicked the kickball 70 yards over the schoolyard😂😂😂😁✌️😎
Mr. Jimmy has always nailed the page thing but the singer has a long way to go to get the plant out. Still good stuff. Thanks Jason
Well that's a tough set of shoes to fill, but can't argue. Plant had his own rough outings. Singing like that and touring the way they did tore his vocal chords up.

check out the " Mr. Jimmy" Zeppelin band. Same guitarist, but far better sing. Just like plant

on the end he was suppose too Hammer on that open string
Didnt quite get that amazing sustain on the opening
You mean as the original is?

@@marcop1587 😂🤣😂
Many comments like that!
The singer should wear a blond wig.
😀
If he could get a really good one that looked real, I could see that. Certainly a polarity between his look and Plant's flowing locks!
