Bonham Announces Led Zep Experience Dates

Jason Bonham has announced the first five dates of his 2013 Led Zeppelin Experience tour. As it stands now, the band will kick things off on January 30th and hit a total of five Canadian cities -- London, Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, and Calgary before winding things down on February 11th. As on previous tours, Bonham and his band will share the unique history of Led Zeppelin through rock songs, video and light effects. The lineup features Bonham on drums, Tony Catania on guitar, Stephen Leblanc on keyboards/pedal-steel guitars, Dorian Heartsong on bass and James Dylan on lead vocals.

Bonham says that the Zeppelin Experience setlists tend to lean towards his own personal favorites: "When somebody said to me once, 'What are your favorite Led Zeppelin songs, if there's two?' And I said, 'Well, there is always going to be two; there's never one. And it would be 'Kashmir' and 'The Rain Song.' Well, I didn't do 'The Rain Song' on the last tour, and this time around. . . Y'know, I never imagined this thing to be taken in as well as its been taken in, to be honest. But since we're in this position where we can now. . . To me, I wanna make sure that if there was anything wrong with the set before, that it didn't have enough of some of the later Zeppelin."
