When Led Zeppelin heard that they were being honored, they invited Jason Bonham to be with them in the honorees section. He turned them down because he said that he had a previous engagement. Little did they know that the previous engagement was playing with Heart, to honor them.
I'm glad you explained that part- thank you.
important piece to this video for sure
Yes cool fact I forgot to mention
Super cool!
Good stuff ...👍
Yes they were being honored. Guy with mustache is Robert Plant and older guy with ponytail is Jimmy Paige. ( excellent guitarist). I agree they kinda drowned her out
They are not rainbows. They are Kennedy Center Honours medals.
On rainbow ribbons.
🔥🔥🔥She was 62 when she did this performance. Greatest female rock vocalist of all time imo.
2nd best...not as good as Floor Jansen however.
Floor Jansen has her beat.
And she had the flu.
@@catbyte0679 Don't forget autotune
@@jamesw5353 Who is Floor Jansen?
I've never seen any band cover that song like Heart did. Perfect homage to Led Zeppelin. Kennedy Center honors medals they're wearing.
They were called the female Led Zeppelin.
Led Zeppelin is wearing the "rainbow" ribbons because they are Kennedy Center honorees. The colors represent many skills within the performing arts, such as music, dance, acting, etc.
Literally the best tribute to ever exist.
I agree, the only other tribute that I put on the same level is Nightwish doing Pink Floyd's "High Hopes". If you have not listened to this song, do yourself a big favor and do so immediately!
I agree. I also enjoyed Adam Lambert “believe”
Next to prince and tom petty tribute to George Harrison
The Kennedy Center does the honors ceremony annually to honor folks who have made great contributions to performing arts. Led Zeppelin are the older men wearing the ribbons. All the honorees receive the ribbons. I cry evey time i listen to this performance.
cult sacrifices
Me too❤
Same
Me too!
I am 67, and tear up also when I see this every time....
This orchestral version is incredibly powerful. Brought the house down
The original drummer, John Bonham, was known to wear bowler hats during performances. The choir and his son wearing the hats was a tribute to John. He couldn't be there in person, but he was honored and not forgotten. This is one of the reasons Robert Plant was crying.
He is also Jason’s godfather.
The curtain rising and the choir coming in was magnificent enough. But when I saw that every last one of them were wearing bowler hats... man, Niagara Falls. 😭
I think John would have hated it. It was pompous and cringy.
The dislike button is down there! 👇 Cheers! 🤣
I saw an interview with Jason Bonham, that is actually his dad's Bowler hat.
Nice pick up ✌️
Yes, those are the original members of Led Zeppelin!!! I'm with you on Ann Wilson's voice!! And, yes, he's crying!
Aren't you crying lol I'm not crying your crying lol
Robert Plant (seated in the middle) & their late drummer John Bonham (his son Jason is playing his father's drum kit) were the closest members of the band.They pretty much grew up together living just 30 miles apart.It was an emotional performance.but,Robert shed tears mainly because John wasn't there to celebrate with them.After John's death it took 8 yrs for Robert to sing Stairway to Heaven again
the gentleman seated to Plant's left (our right) is Led Zeppelin's guitarist Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones (Bassist) is on Plant's other side
Also Plant is Jason's God Father, they had invited Jason to join them, he declined stating he had another engagement he couldn't get out of
how do you even know any of this, pure subjective speculation. YOU have never spoken one word to any of these men and have NO idea why he's emotional, Page is near tears as well. AND, Robert repeatedly said he hated the song, "I'd break out in hives if I had to sing it again....too long, who can even remember all the words." It was however true Page didn't, couldn't pick up a guitar, play for over 2 years after John died. THEY WERE ALL close.
@@christopherone1It is true. All of this is discussed on the Late Show with David Letterman and the band. You can watch it for yourself. No speculation as you so accuse.
@@christopherone1Robert & John met when they were 16.Robert & John in a band before Zeppelin.When Robert's son died during their US tour John went back to England with Robert.The rest stayed in America.When John died Robert went to console John's wife & son Jason.So they were the closest members
It's an honorary medal with a sash that the band members of Led Zeppelin received and are wearing. It's the Kennedy Center Awards
The Asian guy in the audience they showed a few reaction shots of is Yoyo Ma, a famous classical cellist.
And when you can get Yoyo Ma to literally rock out.....
And the way he was feeling the music was almost translucent
I loved the way that Yoyo Ma was rocking out! Game recognizes game!
Yo mama?
I've watched this video many times, and have heard a few recordings of him playing, but couldn't figure out why he was featured. Thank you.
No woman out there can do what they do … these women are AMAZING.. always have been … these singers today can’t hold a candle 🕯️ to them … PERFECTION
I think of the lead guitarist.....
"So, you got the gig, dude. You'll be playing with Anne and Nancy Wilson (no pressure, man)."
"You're gonna play the Kennedy Center so the President will be there, too.....along with a few legendary musicians."
"You're gonna play 'Stairway' for Led Zeppelin. They'll be there so you better rehearse the solo. Oh yeah.....don't fuck up".
Not the LEAST bit of pressure!
Shane Fontayne…Shane Fontayne…Shane Fontayne. Nerves of steel!! Can you imagine playing that solo in front of Jimmy Page? OMG!!!!! It always tickles me that, in this performance, he kind of looks like “Sheldon Cooper”. I love it. LOL
Shane Fontayne is a true veteran studio guy -- one of those extremely reliable guys who has worked with tons of artists.
@@myroselle6987THAT'S who he reminds me of!!! I couldn't think of it, but he does look like sheldon Cooper 😂
@@chrisgomez860 It’s funny, too because he’s a pretty well known musician and when you see him in interviews and other performances he looks nothing like that. I just love watching Jimmy Page watch him play that solo……. Jimmy Page, who, by the way, looks better than he did when he was a young man. OMG!!! That beautiful silver hair…lol!!
I can't think of any more pressure than to play the Stairway to Heaven solo on stage in front of Jimmy Page.
Ann Wilson's one of the greatest female American singers of all time. She's amazing.
He's crying. Stairway To Heaven is Led Zeppelin's Baby. Very Iconic. Led Zeppelin's journey was straight FIRE! Also they're missing their fourth man Bonzo and wishing he was there to get that love and honor. (Robert and John were very very close). Plus Bonzo's son Jason is like a little Bonzo who was born into their band and he's like their Dear Son too..in a way. Nostalgia, Love, Painful Loss and all kinds of emotions coursing through this moment for them..
So Robert cries..
Imagine performing the guitar solo from one of the most iconic songs from one of the most iconic bands in front of the iconic guitarist who originally performed it. Dude nailed it! And Jimmy knew that he nailed it!
For the love of God. It is Led Zeppelin and the are being awarded which explains the rainbow awards and yes he is crying. Heart did them awesome
Greatest female vocalists of all time, IMO! She still has it.
Those "dudes wearing rainbows" is LED ZEPPELIN. Being honored.
Three of them are the surviving members, but all of the honorees are wearing the rainbows. David Letterman is sitting alongside also wearing the ribbon and medal.
Research beforehand with reactions would really help. Many of them do. Reacting to Led Zeppelin and saying who are these old dudes is unbelievable
Kennedy Center Awards, they receive those
The drummer is wearing his deceased dad’s bowler hat and playing his drum kit as a tribute to his dad.
@@adwenbthat made me cry 😭 ❤ I graduated in 1980 and Stairway to Heaven is one of the songs that everyone wanted to learn on the guitar. 🎸
This is the Kennedy Center Honors. Led Zepplin, the gentlemen in the balcony, are being honored by Heart performing one of their iconic songs. The rainbow ribbons hold a medal. All honorees are given this medal.
The One and Only LED ZEPPELIN Sitting there deserving every bit of their tribute!!!!
Heart was a Led Zeppelin cover band before they started doing their own music. Incredible. Ann has one of the top rock vocals in history.
Now watch a live performance of Zeppelin doing this.
Absolutely agree 💯
I forgot to add that this was my Senior Prom theme song so I'm old as hell and know what I'm talking about,🤣
1000% AGREE......WATCH STAIRWAY FROM MSG 73
that's the one!@@susannebass5503
Better to hear the real thing 🥳
I've got earache after hearing this pompous shite 😝
Awesome tribute to Led Zeppelin. Thank you ladies from Heart, no one else could have done it better
They were receiving the Kennedy award for their music achievement . Yes they are the Led Zeppelin band. Ann was honoring this beautiful timeless song they made.
This was "The Kennedy Center Honors". Every year 4 artists (music, dance, art) get honored. They sit in the sky boxes with the current President and people go on stage and honor them. This is a huge honor for them
Well....from 2017 to the 2020 awards, they didn't get to sit with the President. 3 snowflake no shows and one pandemic.
So the 3 'old men' were the remaining members of Led Zeppelin. The drummer is Jason Bonham, his father (deceased) was Led Zeppelin's drummer. When he died (way to young) Led Zeppelin split up as a band. Though they did reform for a one off concert with Jason on drums.
I don't know is you've ever seen Led Zepplin live doing Stairway to Heaven, but if you haven't, you should. It's amazing!
Kennedy Honors are done every year at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC. Heart often does covers of Led Zeppelin when they perform live in their own concerts. The 3 guys with the ribbons around their necks designates they are the honorees. Left to right the remaining members of Led Zeppelin is John Paul Jones, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. The Obama duo was there as he was President when this happened. The bowler hats on the choir members is a tribute to drummer John Bonham who often wore that kind of hat. His son Jason was behind the kit for this performance
Jason is a pretty damn good drummer in his own right… drumming for Sammy Hagar and his band
Dont forget. The bowler hat that jason is wearing is his fathers actual hat. And hes playing his fathers famous oversize Ludwig dum kit
And who sits on the left hand of Page?
@@VoukVoukVoukRobert Plant✌❤
David Letterman. He was also being honored. I believe there were other honorees as well.
I've loved Heart and Led Zeppelin since the 70's. I was a teenager. I'm 62 now still listen to my Rock 🎶
The rainbow lanyard is worn by those getting honoured in the Kennedy Centre Honours which is an annual honours ceremony for people in the performing arts and the rainbow is meant to represent the spectrum of arts within the performing arts umbrella
Each year 5 recipients get honoured and this was from the 2012 gala event which honoured Led Zeppelin, David Letterman, Buddy Guy, Dustin Hoffman and Natalia Makarova
Buddy Guy was the guy who The Big Push covered What kind of woman is this from which you reacted to.
The drummer is Jason Bonham who is the son of John Bonham who was the drummer for Led Zeppelin and died in 1980
Loved seeing Jimmie Page during the guitar solo feeling every note.
So, treat yourself and viewers by just deep diving into Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd’s catalog. You’ll be forever so pleased you did. There’s a reason they are so loved.
Yessss, please!!!
The best remake of a song I have ever heard. Heart does this song justice and even brings a tear to Robert Plant's eye. It is incredible. Then you have Jason Bonham on drums, the son of drummer John Bonham who died many years ago when he was little. John always wore that style of hat. It is emotional to watch and gives me chills every time I watch it. Led Zeppelin are one of Heart's influences and to perform this was a huge deal for these incredibly talented women.
THE KENNEDY CENTER HONORS is an event that honors artists from music, art, literature, movies etc. They bring on people who were inspired by them to speak or sing to them. Usually, the artists they are honoring are in the audience. So yes, that is Led Zeppelin watching them.
I have watched this performance at least a dozen times and every time the hairs on my arms stand up.
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this tribute but I do know I get goosebumps every time the 2nd choir comes in.
Same!
Yesssssssssssssss!!!!!
I've seen it so many times, every time!
Yes 👏🏻
Same
It is the members of the band. They're being honoured at The Kennedy Centre. The rainbows are the medals they received. The drummer Jason Bonham is the son of Led Zeppelin's original drummer, John Bonham, who's signature hat was a bowler. At the end, Jason looks up the the sky thinking of his father who died young.
In 1978 the Kennedy Center presented it's first Kennedy Center Honors gala. The rainbow honor medal represents the large spectrum of performers in the arts. Dancers, singers, actors, playwrights, comedians, musicians, directors and producers have all been honored. Led Zeppelin, along with Dustin Hoffman (actor), David Letterman (late night host), and Natalia Makarova (ballerina) were honored in 2012. John Bonham's son Jason played the drums in this tribute to the band. His father wore the bowler hat that Jason had on so in tribute to John the chorus also wore bowler hats. I worked the Kennedy Center honors from 1992 to 2020 and was lucky enough to see this performance. One of the best experiences I had working in that building. You'll also see Debbie Allen, Stephen Colbert, Herbie Hancock, Jimmy Kimmel, and Yo Yo Ma in the audience.
Heart did this song beautifully and so much emotion! My favorite!!
Yes this is an award honoring Zeppelin for the Performing Arts. This took place in 2012. Ann was 62 at the time. Now 73 & she still sounds great.
That is Led Zeppelin. They were being honored.
You are correct about Led Zeppelin being honored
You nailed it !!! The closeups were all of the surviving members of Led Zeppelin. The original drummer has passed away, and his son, Jason Bonham is playing drums for this event.
I always appreciated Heart - their talent was insane & the fact that it’s been decades now & they still have “it” is inspiring. 💜
Inspired me to stop listening to radio 🤣
It always cracks me up to see John Paul Jones watching this - he and Heart have worked together a lot before, he was just smiling, knowing what they're capable of doing, just watching it all unfold. Almost in a proud way...after all, this is their legacy playing out in front of them.
The rainbow has nothing to do with anything except it's the ribbon that holds the medal!!!!! Also it represents all the different arts that are honored. That is the ribbon that holds all the medals when an artist is honored at the Kennedy Centre Honors! The drummer in Led Zeppelin, John Bonham has died and Jason Bonham is playing in this tribute to honor the band and his father. It was a complete surprise to the band who had asked Jason to accompany them to this event. Jason had to decline because it was a surprise for them. That's the part in the video where Robert Plant stood up and pointed at Jason because he was surprised.
Honors recipients are further celebrated with a medallion with rainbow-colored ribbons meant to symbolize “the spectrum of many skills within the performing arts," according to Ivan Chermayeff, who designed them.
So there is that
That is Led Zeppelin, best band ever!!!💜
One of the greatest performances of all times. Ive seen it a million times, and it always gives me chills. You dont need to apologize for what you dont know. Theres not a person in this world who was born knowing all that they needed to know. Its a journey for all of us, and its so wonderful going on this journey of great incredible music with you. Its all good.
She modulates the dynamic of her voice to fit with the audio mix and more importantly the flow of the song and what's going on, on stage. Make no mistake she can and will perceive the mix and make her voice work for the circumstance.
This is the Kennedy Center honors Led Zepplin. The drummer, Jason, his father was the original drummer. The 3 men are the remaining members. Heart rocks this song!
The drummer was Jason Bonham. His dad was John Bonham who died when he was very young. The band always kept in contact with him. He was honoring his father by being in this tribute
Yes that’s led zeppelin watching. Spectacular performance by heart
In all of the years that the Kennedy Center Honors have been broadcast, we have been able to witness some of the most amazing performances that were delivered by top artists as tributes to those being honored. If you do a search on TH-cam for Kennedy Center Honors performances and scroll down the list, you’ll be absolutely blown by the number and variety of people who have performed over the years. A recent stand out is Adam Lambert singing “Believe“ as a tribute to Cher. Absolutely amazing performance that brought Cher to tears.
Not only was Ann 62 when this happened, but she was also under the weather with the flu. Amazing!
True. They were drowning her out but , whooo, what an impact that whole scenario had!
Crying. Imagine, your biggest song and someone salutes you like that. Me too.
I can’t imagine playing guitar to a Led Zeppelin song in front of Jimmy Page much less belting out this song in front of Robert Plant. Ann Wilson was perfect and her sister Nancy always with her.
Some people don't care what other think.
I don't either. Thought it was ghastly 😂
@@deanosaur808 that is very true people are people. it could have been much worse… it wasn’t.
Can we just take a minute to appreciate how beautiful Nancy Wilson still is.
Yes, Robert Plant is crying~he wrote the lyrics to this song~Jimmy Paige wrote the music. The kid on the drums is the son of the former LZ drummer who has died~Amazing tribute~I never thought anyone could do this song justice~but they just did~All Kennedy Center Honorees are given a medal~that is why the rainbow thing is around their necks~holding the medal~
The Kennedy Center Honors are awarded yearly. The President & First Lady always attend. The ribbons are their AWARDS!
The drummer here is the son of Led Zeppelin’s drummer, who died far too young. The man was known for his bowler hat, which is why his son is wearing the hat, and the second choir is also wearing bowler hats, all as tribute to him.
I LOVE when they panned on YO YO MA rockin out!
Those old guys are Led Zepprlin. Imagine the balls it took to play their most famous song right in front of them.
Luckily- Heart was perfect for the job as they cover LZ in their shows in addition to their own legendary material.
This was a fraction of the total LZ tribute at the Kennedy Center in DC. All Presidents attend these shows- only Trump refused to support them.
Singer Ann Wilson was 62 here! She remains a rock goddess.
The rainbows are part of the honorary medals they’re wearing.
Just enjoy!
It isn’t true that ALL presidents attend these shows. Do your homework regarding this and why President Trump didn’t attend.
That was the music industry's decision to turn on Trump!
@@findingmyrootswoolmarketmshe never attended a single Kennedy Center tribute during his entire presidency. I’ve watched them all and all other presidents attended since the inception of the Kennedy Center tributes. Do your homework!
@@TheDivayenta I stand corrected. All presidents, with the exception of President Trump, have attended since its inception, but they didn’t attend all of the events.
Crazy that it took Ann Wilson AND an entire choir to capture Robert
Rainbow-colored ribbon symbolizes the range and versatility of skills in the field of performing arts.
I get goosebumps every time I see this. Love this performance and Zeppelin's reactions
Same!
No one else could have done Stairway justice like Annie.
Kennedy center honors yhey wear the rainbow sashes when honored
Heart (Ann and Nancy Wilson) were heavily inspired by Led Zeppelin in the 70's and the opportunity to pay tribute to their idols in 2012 when the surviving members of Led Zeppelin (Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones) were honored by President Obama at the Kennedy Center ... and to be joined onstage by the late drummer John Bonham's son Jason Bonham on drums was epic.
The members of Led Zeppelin loved Heart's rendition of 'Stairway to Heaven'... and Ann Wilson was so happy to get Robert Plant's seal of approval.
Inspired by cheese in the 80s 😅
And I'm a fan of the 80s 😎
@@deanosaur808 It was the 70's... and cheese go great w/ burgers and nachos 😈
The ribbon colors symbolizes 'a spectrum of many skills within the performing arts.'
Fantástica versión 😍😍
Thank you! Think this is a better version than the original. So glad you reacted to this one.
The gray haired old dude is Jimmy Page.... I cannot imagine playing that guitar solo... in front of the guy that WROTE that guitar solo.... you watch his eyes... he is playing every note in his head, and his smile shows he is very well pleased..... for perspective... Jimmy Page was born in 1944, during WWII.
I absolutely agree with Ann’s vocals being louder than the rest.
He’d be crying my dude
Legends honoring legends!
Man,You could feel the emotions everywhere.
Led Zeppelin tribute. The drummer is the son of the late drummer who died and that was the end of Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant is the lead singer who was crying. The rainbow is given to the honorees.
Best live tribute, ribbons are given to Kennedy Center honorees. The top performers who had life long lasting influence over music and entertainment.
This performance is heart wrenching and fantastic. Yup that’s what you are watching.
No you r spot on 100%. Yes that is led zeppelin. ❤❤❤
They are being honored and yes they are there watching
And wearing medals around thier necks
Those medals are The Kennedy Honors; the highest American Music Award.
The surviving members of Led Zeppelin wore rainbow-colored sashes and medals at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012 because they were recipients of the Honors medallions, which are accompanied by a rainbow ribbon. The ribbon symbolizes the "spectrum of many skills within the performing arts".
You really should watch the FULL performance by Heart. This one was edited.
Led zeppelin version though 😉
It’s an award they received that night
Kennedy Honors medal
Led Zeppelin was honored by the Kennedy Center. The ribbons have the Kennedy Medal on them..
Yes, by Led Zep. Have you watched the whole thing? It was epic. You have to watch it. The Kennedy Centre honors Led Zeppelin. Lenny Kravitz and a lot more. The "rainbows" are medals. Yes, it's a tribute to Led Zeppelin and they're watching it. The drummer is the son of John Bonham, who was their drummer. They also went on tour with him. There's an amazing CD of a concert.
This was the Kennedy Honors to Led Zeppelin...that's the rainbow necklace. It's the honorary collar to those who receive the honor. Heart is giving the tribute.
Jason totally pranked his dad's bros, LOL! He was supposed to be in the VIP box and told them he couldn't be there, due to a previous engagement. #Surprise!!!
Every time I see this, I get goosebumps. Such a great tribute!
He is crying. This is the Kennedy Center Honors program. The rainbows hold the awards.The audience was stellar too. The Oriental gentleman they focused on was YoYo Ma. Towards the end you see Bonnie Riatt rocking out.
Stairway... greatest rock song ever recorded.
You are soooo right on that assessment!!!
Watch the whole tribute... its fantastic
I watched this live.... Her voice was the main attraction. Anne shined brightly
Read all your comments, there is a wealth of knowledge there.This was a great tribute performance to honor Led Zeppelin.
Yes that is the remaining members of the greatest band in the world ,Led Zeppelin.Heart is doing a tribute to those gentalmen with the metals around thier necks.
If you haven't watched the Original Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven........ You must watch this Original Video with them on Stage in the 70's !
They are being honored that Zeppelin
That was awesome! The rainbow ribbons are holding the Kennedy Center Honors medallion with the honorees’ names on them. I agree with you that the choir was drowning out Ann! I love watching the faces of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, their smiles and tears make me smile! This indeed was a very special tribute! ❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Kennedy Center Honors are given by President's to exceptional entertainers. The Medal straps are on the medal the President presents.
When the curtain rose and the appeared, Jimmy Paige
Exclaimed "A choir? Why didn't we do that?"
The empty chair in the group was for John Bonham, who died in 1980.
Jason was invited to sit in his chair, but told the band he had a prior commitment he couldn't avoid.
