@@emteemac Robert Plant always hated being asked what his favorite Led Zepplin song was so he would give different answers every time. During one interview his response was "Barracuda by Heart, because it's the song I've been trying to write all my life".
@@danasfaith5738 I want to request a reaction video to the song Ice by the group Camel.

Yes, great reaction to wonderful music. I remember being around when Led Zepp had just arrived on the music scene, in my youth!! Whole Lotta Love was played... a lot!! Thanks.

I don't know for sure, but I strongly assume that Rolf Harris' frivolous interpretation started it all ...
@@RozzmanLists Did you that Page and Plant appeared on Andrew Denton's show during "No Quarter" tour 1994 and performed 'Sun Arise', a Rolf Harris song? Which, to me, gives the impression that they got the joke.
Robert Plant and John Bonham were best mates, and all the surviving members have known Jason from babyhood. John Bonham helped Robert through the crushing loss of Roberts little son, who died at the age of five Of a stomach virus in 1977. Then, in 1980, it was Robert and his wife who went to Bonham’s house to tell Jason that his father was dead. It was a devastating loss for Robert. He lost his best friend. Zeppelin also died that day. The deep emotions showing on Robert’s face during that performance are so moving.
One more note. John Bonham also wore a British Derby hat, sorta his trademark.. Jason wore his dad'd Derby here as a tribute to his dad, and the entire choir in the back wore the same.
Facts and He(Plant) was the first to go to Bonzo's home to personally give the horrible news to the wife and a young Jason.After this tragic event the Led Zeppelin era was over for all of them.They could have taken a substitute,but decided that the journey was over w/o BONZO.Respect all the way.That is true friendship.You or NO ONE.Not even Jason(too young at the time and after it was too late.Decision was made and they kept it all the way.See how music can unite people.No colour,nationality,religion ...matters.One PLANET,one NATION.To be a ROCK and not to roll.Slovenia greets you and all music fans

I love the way you girls react to classic rock songs. Amid the giggles, you both make cogent and articulate comments for folks so young who weren't around when this music was current. Compared to other reviewers I watch on TH-cam, you have so much more to say and seem better informed on your subjects. Most of all, as a 74-year-old who came of age in the classic rock era, I am gratified that this generation of music is still being appreciated by young people and that you are introducing your generation to this epic music. Lastly, I love the enthusiasm and sincerity in your videos. You ladies rock.

Im 57 yrs. old and not ashamed to say my eyes tear up every time. And you girls are Awesome! I really like your reactions.. Keep up the the great reactions!!!
I’m an old musician from Detroit (62) ...I also get emotional. This was a part of rock n roll history. I’m not sure how to identify my feelings.... is it about John? ...is it about the remaining members watching this performance? ...is it about Jason performing on his Father’s drum kit? ....or is it emotional to see young people “get it”? ...see where I’m going here? I wept like a baby during the whole video.... ❤️
@@georgedowd5277 Yes! I really like when I see younger people talking about and singing songs we grew up listening to and still do, and wearing Rock T-shirts.. Its really cool to hear them say they like our music. But Ann Wilsons voice is phenomenal and shes so talented, Nancys voice as well and her guitar playing.., Wow! Everyone on that stage @ the Kennedy Center was so amazing!
The thing that gets me every time in this video is the look of sheer joy on Jimmy Page's face when they show the remaining members of Led Zeppelin. He has the unbridled enthusiasm of a child, seeing his music interpreted in this way, and it's great to watch. And Ann Wilson.....absolutely legendary voice. Wow. For the most part, she sings this much more true to the way Robert sang it on the studio version. And by the way, no one in the band knew that Jason was going to be there. Apparently the sight of him was what brought tears to Robert's eyes, thinking of his old friend Bonzo. This is powerful stuff.
Jimmy Page himself gave his blessing to Heart to cover Led Zeppelin songs because Ann Wilson could belt out Robert Plants vocals so beautifully. In their decades long career, from the seventies up until 2015 or so, Heart would usually end their concerts with a Zeppelin song or two. Fans loved it.
One of the reasons Robert Plant looked like he was about to cry during the Heart tribute performance was because he had just prior to the show been talking to his bandmates about Jason Bonham, the son of the Led Zeppelin drummer, the late John Bonham. Robert Plant was best friends with the father, and told his bandmates that he regretted that they had not invited Jason to the Kennedy Center Honors to enjoy it on behalf of his Dad. Then he all of a sudden Jason appeared on stage with Heart and Robert Plant was overcome seeing him.
You're not the only ones crying! I'm a 53 year old guy, sitting here at my desk, absolutely in a puddle of tears. Both bands have been a huge part of my life, and this brings back SO many memories and emotions. My dad brought home Heart's first album in early 1976, and we listened to it over and over together - it was when we became more than just father and son, and became friends who loved music. I can't listen to Heart now without breaking out into tears, since he's no longer here to listen with me. He'd absolutely love you! I hope the bond between you ladies grows to be as great as that of Ann and Nancy, and that they have a place in your life as special as they do in mine. Thank you for sharing your love and appreciate of great music, and great musicians!!
Led Zeppelin did a live reunion concert in London in 2007. Over 20 million people tried to get one of the 18,000 seats sold. They killed it. Brilliant performance. Jason Bonham was an official member of Zeppelin that night and absolutely channeled his father’s spirit. He had studied every bootleg of their live performances and knew every nuance and fill his father had done, and performed it flawlessly. Seeing the three surviving members (Robert was 59, Jimmy 62, John Paul 61) playing with their beloved John’s son.........Can you imagine the emotions on stage that night?
Don’t worry. It’s ok to cry, especially when something moves your soul. Heart did an amazing job. It’s probably the greatest live cover that I’ve ever seen. Welcome to Led Zeppelin... and you’ve only heard one of their songs... strap in, you’re in for a ride. PS The hat that Jason and the choir at the end were wearing were an homage to John Bonham.
Yep, I watch this performance alot, and I agree best live cover I have seen...a brilliant arrangement and only the legendary Ann Wilson could pull this off. SO good
Welcome aboard, youngsters! The two of you are blessed, to have experienced the wonderful talents of the Wilson sisters. Heart, has recorded such a large catalog of music, all of it great!
Jason Bonham is not merely the son of John Bonham, He is also the godson of singer Robert Plant. Jason also wore a bowler hat, as did most of the choral singers, as an homage to the late John Bonham. It was his signature in performances to wear a bowler hat. Jason has performed with Robert, Jimmy, and John as a part of Led Zeppelin on a tour years ago, and he is also an in-demand drummer for many of the hard rock legends when touring. He even dipped his toe into being an actor. He played the drummer of a fictitious 1980s era heavy metal band called Steel Dragon in the movie 'Rock Star' with Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston. Heart is a must for you two!!! In the 1970s and 80s, there were only a few female rock singers who could be considered Goddesses of Rock...Ann Wilson as a vocalist was one (along with Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Nicks, and a few others). And no one, male or female, has done more for the acoustic guitar in rock than Nancy Wilson who is superb on the electric guitar, but she is untouchable on acoustic (just listen to the opening of "Crazy On You" by Heart to understand this). I think you would really love their music..."Barracuda", "Magic Man", "These Dreams", "Never", "Alone", "If Looks Could Kill", "Nothin' At All", "What About Love?"...all of these are must-hear even if you don't do reactions.
About the hats...Zeppelin's drummer - John Bonham - used to wear a bowler hat (like those) and a white boiler suit on stage. He took that from a 1971 movie called A Clockwork Orange. In the film, there was a gang of thugs who would go around dressed that way. First time I watch this performance and the curtain lifted up to show the choir, I got major goosebumps and teared up - knowing the meaning and having listened to LZ for more than 40 years, how could I not? It still has that effect and to see your reactions to it are wonderful. Welcome to the world of real musicianship!
I got the impression that while you were watching this you didn't realize that the old guys they kept cutting to 4 reaction are actually Led Zeppelin :-). They were being honored for a lifetime achievement and heart was singing to them! You can see how much they loved it
What to say about Ann Wilson, the woman is incredible, incredibly talented, intelligent, beautiful and can put soooooo much feelings and emotions into her performances! What a tribute to a fantastic Rock & Roll Legendary Band... Led Zeppelin! Two thumbs up on the reaction... enjoyed it much girls! You two are so enjoyable to watch... 👍👍😎👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love Zeppelin and I love Heart. This was a fantastic cover of this legendary song and IMO you two young women do the best reactions of anyone out there. I've been a guitarist for over 40 years and it does my heart good to see young folks enjoying the greatest music in history! Your folks have done a stellar job in raising you and being interested and involved in your musical interests. Please keep up your great work cuz it keeps us ..... your fans ...... wanting more. I hope you and your family have a great Sunday! God bless
LOVE to see young people appreciating music from my generation. This is from the Kennedy Centers Honors (which is why the President and First Lady are there, along with all the celebrities in the audience). Every year they induct artists from various fields that have contributed to the arts and had an impact on our culture. I've watched the show every year and seen some great performances honoring great artists, but NEVER has the Kennedy Center ROCKED THE HOUSE DOWN like they did that night. Only fitting to honor the greatest rock band ever.
In 1979 my girlfriend lived next door to Ann.... I was invited to a BBQ at Ann's house, and she asked if I could play guitar. "Yeah, since I was 6 years old !" Ann asked, "You know Beatles' songs ?" I said, "C'mon ! Sure I do !" Sat next to Ann around a campfire and her voice moved my hair. Have MANY videos of them from 2010 and on ... on my channel !
When Led Zepplin 4 came out in 1971. I had just turned 19. I was living alone and a friend showed up with this record album. We put in on the record player and started listening. I thought the first 3 albums were good but this is the gold standard. There were also some vegetables consumed that night. I will never forget it. It's weird how music can bring back memories. After all most of us were conceived while our parents were listening to music. Or the music put our parents in a romantic mood. Stay home stay healthy.
Can you imagine how you would feel being able to do that song in front of Led Zeppelin and they love it that much?! Wow! And you even brought tears to Robert Plant's eyes!!!
This was a beautiful rendition. Ann was 62 and Nancy was 58. Ann is the singer and Nancy plays the guitar. They were on tour so they had to fly to Washington and then back again.
11:52 Jason looks up. He's not checking out the balcony. He's asking for approval from John. I didn't see any kind of response, but I know what it MUST have been. "Well done son!"
Ann Wilson is one of the greatest singers you could ever hear. You spoke of the pressure to perform. Think about it, you are on the stage, performing one of the most legendary songs every written by one of the most legendary bands that ever existed IN FRONT OF the legendary band that wrote it. They absolutely killed it, and I'll admit, it puts tears in my eyes every time. I saw an interview with Robert Plant a couple of years ago. He said he was talking to Jimmy Page and said "We should have invited Jason. I can't believe we didn't bring him.." He said he lost it when he appeared behind that drum kit.
its wonderful to see how these musicians can affect you guys so personally. The true power of music.... if youre open to it. Fantastic reactions...Keep it up ladies. Respect from the UK.
Without out a doubt the best cover version and the best performance ever given by the wilson SISTERS Jason on the drums shayne fontanya on guitar plus the orchestra and the choir just UNBELIEVABLE!! Pretty sure the members of led zeppelin would agree!!!
I'm SOOOOO glad that you watched this performance. I'm a 56 year old Englishman and been aware of Led Zeppelin for as long as I can remember. I began my musical journey as a drummer and was a huge fan of John Bonham. Jason was just 14 years old when his dad died in 1980 but he has gone on to become an exceptional drummer in his own right. Not only does this outstanding performance demonstrate just what an absolute masterpiece of a song it is, but also how overwhelming it can be when played to this astonishing standard. What's also beautiful is seeing the reactions of the 3 remaining members (from left to right on the balcony in evening dress with their awards attached to their lapels) John Paul Jones, bass and keyboards, Robert Plant, vocals, and Jimmy Page, guitar. They were evidently blown away by the performance and Robert Plant is reduced to tears. 😃
Jimmy, Robert, John Paul Jones had said wouldnt it have been grand if Jason could be here with us on this night , they had no idea he would be joining Heart to perform this song ... and thats why they looked stunned in the moment ... wow , how it was kept secret is incredible !
Who would have thought that these two young ladies would have the best music reaction channel on TH-cam? Every video is a joy to watch. Bravo. Brilliant video. I think Ann Wison is the best female singer in rock. They do Zep so well.
Music that evokes emotion is what MUSIC IS ALL ABOUT! Never let someone dictate what you should and shouldn't listen to. Follow what moves you! I cry almost everytime I watch this cover. It's incredible
One of those really famous people in the audience was classical cellist Yo Yo Ma, who looked absolutely enchanted by the song and by this particular performance, supported by a classical string ensemble.
These kids are pretty smart to recognize the moment this was. They get how emotional impact it had on the band, Jason, and the audience. Gotta love these kids!
I am truly impressed, to the point of astonishment, with the insightfulness, intelligence, and breadth of the comments of these two young music lovers! The admiration and love the young lady clearly has for her friend in the striped shirt is well-deserved and obviously very mutual. One of these two, if not both, may just be President of the United States one fine day.
It is refreshing to watch you girls react, the look on your faces is epic! Before Heart both Ann and Nancy Wilson used to do Zeppelin cover songs, it’s there favorite group! Later Nancy joined a band in Vancouver B.C. called Heart, they needed a singer and Nancy, who thought her sister was a remarkable singer, invited Ann! The rest is history! Ann Wilson is the best female rock singer in history and Nancy is the best female guitarist! You girls rock! Love the background mural! Keep up the good work!
Cooles Cover von Heart, selbst eine der größten Bands in für mich , die Girls haben einen Guten Musik Geschmack 👍👍👍😎 , dies zeigt wie Zeitlos und Generationsübergreifend die Musik von LED Zeppelin Ist und bleibt.
Watching Robert Plant. Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones reaction while listening to this song was PRICELESS! You could see how much they were into it but, Jimmy Page was almost beside himself with enthusiasm! TOTALLY AWESOME RENDITION OF STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN! Ann and Nancy Wilson are without a doubt “Rock Icons” and this song just cemented their place in Rock &Roll History! Seeing Jason Bonham fill in for his Dad’s Drumming was Wonderful to see! You can tell how much respect he has for his Dad’s BANDMATES and Vice versa! INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE!
Fun trivia - the hats Jason and the choir wore (i.e. Bowler hat) was an homage to Jason's father, John Bonham, who used to frequently wear one and is seen in many pictures and performances with it on.
Next Led Song? Led Zeppelin “The Rain Song” Jimmy Page & Robert Plant No Quarter 1994 Live. My favorite Zeppelin song! Another slow beautifully written song!!! THE RAIN SONG!!!!!!!!!
Tracks from the first album too. Good Times, Bad Times, You Shook Me, Dazed and Confused. I would have recommended Whole Lotta Love, but probably inappropriate under the circumstances given the lyrics - LOL!
I like What Is and What Should Never Be from same album. I got a portable 8 track player for my 10th birthday in 1970. LED Zeppelin II was one of three tapes I got. The guitar part switching speakers blew me away lol.
Hi girls I was a teenager in the 60s I was listening to all this great music when it first came out it makes me happy they you girls are discovering it . Keep on ROCKING.
Great reaction. You could go from here to 1969 live performances of dazed and confused off their first album and enjoy the journey through the catalogue. Zepp were legends from conception
You girls realize that it was Led Zeppelin//:: Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Robert Plant up on the balcony looking down at this orchestra and John Bonham's Son Jason on drums, and Heart nailed it!!! So we had Zeppelin watching Heart and Jason Bonham do a song of theirs that was one of their best!! Very well done!! You can see Robert Plant give the look to Anne like "WELL DONE MY DEAR"!!! Superb!!!

To be fair, most bands are unable to do the song justice.

Seeing the three surviving members (Robert was 59, Jimmy 62, John Paul 61) playing with their beloved John’s son.........Can you imagine the emotions on stage that night?
Page was almost 64.
Philosopher 007 you are correct. I screwed up. He was 63 in December of 2007 for the O2. Thanks for catching that.
They also played together in 2012 too.
Yes!.... I'm crying 😢
Don’t worry. It’s ok to cry, especially when something moves your soul. Heart did an amazing job. It’s probably the greatest live cover that I’ve ever seen. Welcome to Led Zeppelin... and you’ve only heard one of their songs... strap in, you’re in for a ride.
PS The hat that Jason and the choir at the end were wearing were an homage to John Bonham.
Yep, I watch this performance alot, and I agree best live cover I have seen...a brilliant arrangement and only the legendary Ann Wilson could pull this off. SO good
Well said
Rock Legends honouring Rock Gods. Great reaction girls
When you have Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones watching from the seats; no pressure!!!🥴
And Jason Bonham on the drums, jajajaja!
Makes me cry too, no matter how many times I watch it - it’s just perfection
Welcome aboard, youngsters! The two of you are blessed, to have experienced the wonderful talents of the Wilson sisters. Heart, has recorded such a large catalog of music, all of it great!
Her voice could knock down walls if she unleashed it....she is amazing
Jason Bonham is not merely the son of John Bonham, He is also the godson of singer Robert Plant. Jason also wore a bowler hat, as did most of the choral singers, as an homage to the late John Bonham. It was his signature in performances to wear a bowler hat. Jason has performed with Robert, Jimmy, and John as a part of Led Zeppelin on a tour years ago, and he is also an in-demand drummer for many of the hard rock legends when touring. He even dipped his toe into being an actor. He played the drummer of a fictitious 1980s era heavy metal band called Steel Dragon in the movie 'Rock Star' with Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston. Heart is a must for you two!!! In the 1970s and 80s, there were only a few female rock singers who could be considered Goddesses of Rock...Ann Wilson as a vocalist was one (along with Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Nicks, and a few others). And no one, male or female, has done more for the acoustic guitar in rock than Nancy Wilson who is superb on the electric guitar, but she is untouchable on acoustic (just listen to the opening of "Crazy On You" by Heart to understand this). I think you would really love their music..."Barracuda", "Magic Man", "These Dreams", "Never", "Alone", "If Looks Could Kill", "Nothin' At All", "What About Love?"...all of these are must-hear even if you don't do reactions.
I can't stand magic man or barracuda because its way over played
@Crown Commando what magic man ?
@Crown Commando ok I will and I agree. The radio stations do play the same stuff
Going to a Led Zeppelin concert also inspired Ann and Nancy to become rockers.
I think you missed an obvious one: PAT BENATAR
I get really emotional every time I watch this. What a great honor for Led Zeppelin.
Seeing two girls get excited and moved by something that today's young people don't even know, is priceless. I love you from Italy.
Can U see the genuine tears of emotion in Robert and J P Jones at the end ? 💗
He’s playing it the way his dad would have wanted. And it was perfectly beautiful.🤟🤘👍
About the hats...Zeppelin's drummer - John Bonham - used to wear a bowler hat (like those) and a white boiler suit on stage. He took that from a 1971 movie called A Clockwork Orange. In the film, there was a gang of thugs who would go around dressed that way. First time I watch this performance and the curtain lifted up to show the choir, I got major goosebumps and teared up - knowing the meaning and having listened to LZ for more than 40 years, how could I not? It still has that effect and to see your reactions to it are wonderful. Welcome to the world of real musicianship!
I got the impression that while you were watching this you didn't realize that the old guys they kept cutting to 4 reaction are actually Led Zeppelin :-). They were being honored for a lifetime achievement and heart was singing to them! You can see how much they loved it
I was wondering, too. But they DID see that. "old guys" Older, OLDER....I'm 69....lasts a little longer that way.
Their comments after the song make it clear they knew those were the original band members they were playing to
@@BiffMan42 yes
Best reaction I’ve seen to this by far. ❤️❤️❤️
You are too kind!
What to say about Ann Wilson, the woman is incredible, incredibly talented, intelligent, beautiful and can put soooooo much feelings and emotions into her performances! What a tribute to a fantastic Rock & Roll Legendary Band... Led Zeppelin! Two thumbs up on the reaction... enjoyed it much girls! You two are so enjoyable to watch... 👍👍😎👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much Warren for your kind words!
Imagine playing what is perhaps the world's best known guitar solo live in front of the man who wrote it. No pressure, right?
I love Zeppelin and I love Heart. This was a fantastic cover of this legendary song and IMO you two young women do the best reactions of anyone out there. I've been a guitarist for over 40 years and it does my heart good to see young folks enjoying the greatest music in history! Your folks have done a stellar job in raising you and being interested and involved in your musical interests. Please keep up your great work cuz it keeps us ..... your fans ...... wanting more. I hope you and your family have a great Sunday! God bless
You're comment is too kind Jeff! Thank you so much! It is comments like yours that keeps us going!
LOVE to see young people appreciating music from my generation. This is from the Kennedy Centers Honors (which is why the President and First Lady are there, along with all the celebrities in the audience). Every year they induct artists from various fields that have contributed to the arts and had an impact on our culture. I've watched the show every year and seen some great performances honoring great artists, but NEVER has the Kennedy Center ROCKED THE HOUSE DOWN like they did that night. Only fitting to honor the greatest rock band ever.
Props to Shane Fontayne for giving an excellent rendition of Jimmy Page’s legendary guitar solo
And he managed to give it his own touches while still respecting, but not just copying, the original...well done indeed!!
For well over a year, I've wondered who was playing the solo. Thanks for the revelation!
Was that who it was? Ain't seen him since he toured with Springsteen in the early 90's
@@ryanwakley1640 He has been recording and touring with Graham Nash for the last couple of years
Jimmy's smile said it all !
It always brings me to tears too, ❤️
In 1979 my girlfriend lived next door to Ann.... I was invited to a BBQ at Ann's house, and she asked if I could play guitar.
"Yeah, since I was 6 years old !" Ann asked, "You know Beatles' songs ?" I said, "C'mon ! Sure I do !"
Sat next to Ann around a campfire and her voice moved my hair.
Have MANY videos of them from 2010 and on ... on my channel !
Very nice reaction girls.
Was my aunts favorite song when she was alive. Gets my MoM watery eyes also. We miss her so much and thank you for playing this beautiful song ❤️🙏🏻😎
I tear up every time watching this. It’s beautiful.
That’s a great reaction girls!!! 👊👊 Loved it
Thank you 7777shayna!
When Led Zepplin 4 came out in 1971. I had just turned 19. I was living alone and a friend showed up with this record album. We put in on the record player and started listening. I thought the first 3 albums were good but this is the gold standard. There were also some vegetables consumed that night. I will never forget it. It's weird how music can bring back memories. After all most of us were conceived while our parents were listening to music. Or the music put our parents in a romantic mood. Stay home stay healthy.
Ann and Nancy Wilson... The Wilson sisters!!!!! The 2 greatest women of rock n roll!!!!
I saw Heart with Jason in 2013. What an amazing show. I also saw Led Zeppelin with Jason in 1988.
Next stop 100, 000.... Whats not to love about these two young ladies? Your The Best!!!
You are too kind John!
A standing ovation from the 3 remaining members of Led Zeppelin.
Can you imagine how you would feel being able to do that song in front of Led Zeppelin and they love it that much?! Wow! And you even brought tears to Robert Plant's eyes!!!
This was a beautiful rendition. Ann was 62 and Nancy was 58. Ann is the singer and Nancy plays the guitar. They were on tour so they had to fly to Washington and then back again.
11:52 Jason looks up. He's not checking out the balcony. He's asking for approval from John. I didn't see any kind of response, but I know what it MUST have been. "Well done son!"
This version is closer to the studio version than the live one that you reacted to. It's pretty spot on.
The gaze of the led zeppelin when they see their work of art. 🥺😭
Closer to the studio version than to the live version you covered. She does a good job of capturing his tone, as well as anyone could!
Ann Wilson is one of the greatest singers you could ever hear. You spoke of the pressure to perform. Think about it, you are on the stage, performing one of the most legendary songs every written by one of the most legendary bands that ever existed IN FRONT OF the legendary band that wrote it. They absolutely killed it, and I'll admit, it puts tears in my eyes every time.
I saw an interview with Robert Plant a couple of years ago. He said he was talking to Jimmy Page and said "We should have invited Jason. I can't believe we didn't bring him.." He said he lost it when he appeared behind that drum kit.
You young ladies should listen to more classic rock it's really awesome! I think rock and roll unites us, brings us closer together!
its wonderful to see how these musicians can affect you guys so personally. The true power of music.... if youre open to it. Fantastic reactions...Keep it up ladies. Respect from the UK.
Thank you Mountprospect1!
Without out a doubt the best cover version and the best performance ever given by the wilson SISTERS Jason on the drums shayne fontanya on guitar plus the orchestra and the choir just UNBELIEVABLE!! Pretty sure the members of led zeppelin would agree!!!
Shared tears ... this rendition of the song is just brilliant. Thanks girls!!!
I'm SOOOOO glad that you watched this performance. I'm a 56 year old Englishman and been aware of Led Zeppelin for as long as I can remember.
I began my musical journey as a drummer and was a huge fan of John Bonham. Jason was just 14 years old when his dad died in 1980 but he has gone on to become an exceptional drummer in his own right.
Not only does this outstanding performance demonstrate just what an absolute masterpiece of a song it is, but also how overwhelming it can be when played to this astonishing standard.
What's also beautiful is seeing the reactions of the 3 remaining members (from left to right on the balcony in evening dress with their awards attached to their lapels) John Paul Jones, bass and keyboards, Robert Plant, vocals, and Jimmy Page, guitar. They were evidently blown away by the performance and Robert Plant is reduced to tears. 😃
Jimmy, Robert, John Paul Jones had said wouldnt it have been grand if Jason could be here with us on this night , they had no idea he would be joining Heart to perform this song ... and thats why they looked stunned in the moment ... wow , how it was kept secret is incredible !
I’ve seen this a lot, every time it makes me emotional, and sad at the same time because they don’t play anymore and are getting old like me!
Who would have thought that these two young ladies would have the best music reaction channel on TH-cam? Every video is a joy to watch. Bravo. Brilliant video. I think Ann Wison is the best female singer in rock. They do Zep so well.
Aww! thank you Steve! Those are very kind words you said and we truly appreciate them! Thank you so much!
I am 77 and Led Zepplin was a band I saw many times. Great to see young people discover music I grew up with. Nice jog girls.
Thank you sosguy!
Music that evokes emotion is what MUSIC IS ALL ABOUT! Never let someone dictate what you should and shouldn't listen to. Follow what moves you! I cry almost everytime I watch this cover. It's incredible
One of those really famous people in the audience was classical cellist Yo Yo Ma, who looked absolutely enchanted by the song and by this particular performance, supported by a classical string ensemble.
These kids are pretty smart to recognize the moment this was. They get how emotional impact it had on the band, Jason, and the audience. Gotta love these kids!
Thank you Gary!
I am truly impressed, to the point of astonishment, with the insightfulness, intelligence, and breadth of the comments of these two young music lovers! The admiration and love the young lady clearly has for her friend in the striped shirt is well-deserved and obviously very mutual. One of these two, if not both, may just be President of the United States one fine day.
Heart did such an amazing job covering this song I sure am glad y'all did a reaction to this
Hi girls. You just heard the best rendition of stairway to heaven ever recorded! This song gives me chills
The expressions on the faces of Led Zeppelin said it all! Great reaction, ladies!
Thank you Michael!
Led Zeppelin are looking on. They were honor by the Kennedy Honors.
It is refreshing to watch you girls react, the look on your faces is epic! Before Heart both Ann and Nancy Wilson used to do Zeppelin cover songs, it’s there favorite group! Later Nancy joined a band in Vancouver B.C. called Heart, they needed a singer and Nancy, who thought her sister was a remarkable singer, invited Ann! The rest is history! Ann Wilson is the best female rock singer in history and Nancy is the best female guitarist! You girls rock! Love the background mural! Keep up the good work!
Thank you Muzicman!
Cooles Cover von Heart, selbst eine der größten Bands in für mich , die Girls haben einen Guten Musik Geschmack 👍👍👍😎 , dies zeigt wie Zeitlos und Generationsübergreifend die Musik von LED Zeppelin Ist und bleibt.
Watching Robert Plant. Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones reaction while listening to this song was PRICELESS! You could see how much they were into it but, Jimmy Page was almost beside himself with enthusiasm! TOTALLY AWESOME RENDITION OF STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN! Ann and Nancy Wilson are without a doubt “Rock Icons” and this song just cemented their place in Rock &Roll History! Seeing Jason Bonham fill in for his Dad’s Drumming was Wonderful to see! You can tell how much respect he has for his Dad’s BANDMATES and Vice versa! INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE!
U need to request *CRAZY ON YOU* by Heart. ( Live version)
Fun trivia - the hats Jason and the choir wore (i.e. Bowler hat) was an homage to Jason's father, John Bonham, who used to frequently wear one and is seen in many pictures and performances with it on.
Next Led Song?
Led Zeppelin “The Rain Song” Jimmy Page & Robert Plant No Quarter 1994 Live.
My favorite Zeppelin song! Another slow beautifully written song!!! THE RAIN SONG!!!!!!!!!
Tracks from the first album too. Good Times, Bad Times, You Shook Me, Dazed and Confused. I would have recommended Whole Lotta Love, but probably inappropriate under the circumstances given the lyrics - LOL!
1994? No, 1973
BOTH! Lol
I like What Is and What Should Never Be from same album. I got a portable 8 track player for my 10th birthday in 1970. LED Zeppelin II was one of three tapes I got. The guitar part switching speakers blew me away lol.
@@ChefClary60 I love the feedback harmony on that track as well. One of my favourite tracks from Led Zep II.
I pull up this video a couple times every year just to restore my faith in humanity.
Great job with your reaction to Heart covering Stairway To Heaven from Led Zeppelin . That a cool backdrop behind you.
As always, thank you Eric for your support!
@@danasfaith5738 Your both welcome.
Ann Wilson has one of the most prolific and powerful voices.Her tone and range is amazing. Treat yourself to some of their hits
Those old men are the remaining members of Led Zepplin they keep showing imagine the pressure 💕also when I was your age I cried as well
heart was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and led zepplein approved and you two ladies are adorable
Hi girls I was a teenager in the 60s I was listening to all this great music when it first came out it makes me happy they you girls are discovering it . Keep on ROCKING.
Great reaction. You could go from here to 1969 live performances of dazed and confused off their first album and enjoy the journey through the catalogue. Zepp were legends from conception
Stairway to heaven is just one of those songs that so deep it pulls your heartstrings! Incredible performance! Great reaction ladies!
Thank you Judge Dredd the Law!
i love you guys... you make me smile and laugh.. always entertaining.. i'm a fan..
I know u probably don't know the deal about the hat . Jason wore his dad's hat and the choir, of course, had their own . Very moving tribute !! 👍
EPIC performance. Great reaction. 🤗
You are watching two Rock legends paying homage to Rock royalty
You girls realize that it was Led Zeppelin//:: Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Robert Plant up on the balcony looking down at this orchestra and John Bonham's Son Jason on drums, and Heart nailed it!!! So we had Zeppelin watching Heart and Jason Bonham do a song of theirs that was one of their best!! Very well done!! You can see Robert Plant give the look to Anne like "WELL DONE MY DEAR"!!! Superb!!!
I've seen this so many times and i always tear up at the end. Led Zeppelin and Heart ruled the 1970s!
