Billy Joel performed a pair of Led Zeppelin classics with drummer Jason Bonham during Joels concert Friday at Philadelphias Citizens Bank Park.
With the son of Led Zeppelins John Bonham at the drum kit, Billy Joel and his band first launched into Whole Lotta Love, featuring vocals by Joels guitarist Mike DelGuidice and a lengthy drum solo by Bonham. Joel then handled lead on Good Times Bad Times.
Joel has frequently performed entire or portions of Led Zeppelin songs during his concerts; the bands Rock and Roll is routinely teased during his concerts steady encore You May Be Right.
Perhaps in response to Joels recent Rolling Stone interview where he badmouthed his own song Captain Jack He didnt age well. Captain Jacks been demoted to Private Jack, he said Joel also (reluctantly?) performed that 1973 hit for the first time in two years.
The song has become a staple of Joels concerts in Philadelphia, having played it at four straight shows in the City of Brotherly Love. When Im doing the song, I feel kinda dreary and I dont like doing the song anymore, although well probably do it again, Joel told Rolling Stone earlier this month.
