They had to cut to Yo Yo Ma a couple of times during the guitar solo so that those who thought that Yo Yo was playing guitar, would know that he was actually in the audience. I don't know who that is on guitar, but he bears a slight resemblance to Yo Yo. I'd like to see them side by side with the guitar player wearing glasses. 🙂
Plant has said that they forgot to invite Jason and at the last minute called him and he said he couldn't make it. So seeing him up there playing on Bonzo's drum-kit and wearing his Bolo hat must have been pretty emotional.
You gotta react to Led Zeppelin Live At Celebration Day ( Their last reunion ) , No Quarter and Kashmir are incredible but they play all the hits, And it was filmed ! :)
To play that in front of not just Paige, Plant, and JPJ, but all of the other “celebrities” in that crowd is simply amazing! This maybe the greatest “cover” of all time!!!
@@rebeccalipps23 absolutely excellent! And I know the guys from Led Zeppelin know how much we cherish their music they'd given us over so many years, but there is something just so heartwarming seeing the smiles on their faces as they witness what HAS to be the best cover of their classic song, you know they realize how wonderful it is.... chokes me up every time I watch this... god bless them and what they've given us...bless JPJ and John Bonham, we miss you guys ( and holy cow, towards the end there when Jason looks up towards the heavens there sort of as to say 'how was that pop?'.... man right in the deep feels ..... )
The bowler hats worn by the choir was a tribute to Bonham, who wore them extensively during the late 1970's tours. Jason was also a surprise guest, and he played his dad's kit. Best Stairway cover I've ever heard, and fitting it came from Heart, who were heavily influenced by Zeppelin.
Ann and Nancy have been Zep fans from the beginning. Ann's singing style has been called the "female version of Robert Plant" in the past and Heart would regularly sprinkle Zep songs in their concerts. I saw Heart in concert several years ago and recall they played Battle of Evermore and I think a couple of other Zep numbers. As someone else mentioned, when Robert invited Jason to be his guest at the honors, he had to pretend he couldn't make it - because he was performing in it! That's why Robert stood up in surprise and pointed at Jason when he was introduced. Also, as others have mentioned, the bowler hat was a nod to Bonham's occasionally dressing onstage as one of Stanley Kubrick's "droogs" from his film adaptation of the book A Clockwork Orange. The look consisted of a white boiler suit and black bowler hat - google "John Bonham droog" and you'll see pictures. This performance was the best cover of Stairway that can ever be done.
I agree completely!!! Why is watching this so emotional?!!!! 'I know it's only Rock and Roll but I like it like it yes I do' Music can be a very powerful thing!!.
Yes. I read that he was asked by the guys to represent his dad, and he said he was busy. They didn’t know until that moment that he would be standing in for his dad, literally.
🙌 this 64-year-old Brit Led Zep fan's eyes are filled with tears - what a time to be alive! Well done America back in the time before alternative facts...
Apparently Plant invited Jason B to come with them to the event but he had to decline cause he had a prior engagement. This performance was his prior engagement so Plants enthusiasm at see Jason was real and a shock in the best possible way. If you get a chance find Jack Blacks homage speech to Zeppelin from the same event. Fucking hilarious and heart felt👍👍🙏
I get a chill every time I watch this. Ann and Nancy were heavily influenced by Zeppelin, and were terrified doing this song. They didn't want to screw it up in front of their idols. In fact over their career they've covered a number of Zeppelin tunes. I saw them cover "Rock n Roll" way back on August 16th 1977, the day Elvis died. It was the last song of the encore and they dedicated it to the King.
FYI - This clip was the edited version that was played on TV. The producers in their infinite stupidity cut the song down. However, the good thing is that the full length version of the song is also on TH-cam...somewhere.
this is an even more edited one than the original edited one... how many re-edits are there? This has to be the worst one I've seen so far...so much of the emotion was lost...they even remixed a butchered a lot of the audio in this one.
I believe Ann Wilson was 62 years old and battling the flu when she belted out this song. Accolades to everyone who was a part of this outstanding tribute!
Hallelujah, do you know how long I've been waiting for you guys to watch this performance, I tear up everytime I watch this, I hope you two enjoy it as much as I do🥰🤟🎵
Its a great cover for sure, without a doubt, but I chuckle when people say this is better than live Zeppelin from back in the day. Juss' sayin, keepin' it real.
I saw Robert Plant with Alison Krauss in Taos NM 3 weeks ago. Imagine a few Led Zeppelin songs played in the rockabilly style. Sold out show in a small park.
Made it her own, damn near; is right! Stellar performance! Lenny Kravitz rendition of "Whole Lotta Love" is also killer during these Kennedy Center honors and Jack Black gave a hilarious intro to the festivities, as well. Great reaction guys!
The finest tribute ever . Just look at the reactions from Zeppelin … Simply beautiful …Love the Kennedy Centre Honors and as a Zep fan since the 70,s could not be more proud ..
So perfect to go alongside your Zeppelin reactions. There's some interviews if you're interested of Zep members after this performance. Interesting to hear how much they loved it and Robert P talk about the tears.
Zeppelin got to know Heart in the 70s whole on the road. They were notoriously grumpy about other bands playing Stairway, which was the biggest song in the world at the time. When they witnessed Heart cover the song, they were impressed and gave their blessing.
Finally!!! La and Che, the delight on your faces says it all, and I've been looking forward to seeing it. Needless to say, this is a fantastic performance, and Jason Bonham--and the appreciation and tears on the band's face--make it one for the ages. Thanks, gentlemen.
YES!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for you guys to do this one!!!! Looking forward to seeing it...(especially with the way you love and respect Led Zeppelin!)!! Have an awesome (and safe) 4th!!!! Keep up the great work!!! 😎😎
Man, I got so emotional when ever I see this performance !!! Only Ann and Nancy Wilson could pull this off !! The arrangements were sick with the addition of a Full choir is superb !!! Mad respect for the Wilson girls !!!!
This particular version had quite a few edits like chunks of the guitar solo that were missing as well as other parts. For your own gratification, you might want to find a longer version without quite as many cuts. Heart has quite a few Led Zeppelin covers on TH-cam. I think my favorite is their rendition of "Misty Mountain Hop" but all of the Heart Zeppelin covers are fire.
Best tribute video of Best Band and #BestSongofAllTime with my best reactors #AirplayBeats so good... I tear up every time I watch this one, thanks for not stopping it in the middle too... thumbs up and shared of course, thanks ya'll
Could it be the best live recording of "Stairway To Heaven" ever ? Yes ! Kudos to Heart & Jason Bonham R.I.P. John Bonham Kudos to Robert Plant Jimmy Page. John Paul Jones Led Zeppelin greatest UK Band Ever
Love the Wilson sisters. Their chance to pay tribute to one of their primary music idols, the other being the Beatles, is difficult enough without having them present during such a prestigious event. But they capitalized on the moment with one the most stellar performances, as you can tell by the response by the band. Now, take a moment and listen to them blast away on a cut from their album, Bebe Le Strange, called EVEN IT UP. You'll enjoy it very much.
Same night . . . Lenny Kravitz did "Whole Lotta Love" and Kid Rock did "Ramble On." ALSO THAT NIGHT . . . Beth Hart and Jeff Beck did "I'd Rather Go Blind" in tribute to Buddy Guy.
TMW legends know for sure that their music will live on after them. That had to be quite a moment for them. I saw this when it was first broadcast, by the end I was standing up crying and cheering. I was in high school when Stairway was first released, so this was just stunning. Thanks for reacting to it, I appreciate you guys.
This is like a spiritual journey watching this. It’s has to be one of the greatest moments in the history of the Kennedy Awards Ceremony. Absolutely epic.❤️
This never gets old. 62 yo Nancy belting it out. The choir, orchestra, the guy who plays the forbidden riff in front of THE Jimmy Page. The entire production was superb! Hats off to everyone on and creating behind that stage!!
Yes, it brought tears to Robert's eyes. Many people get this wrong about why he cried - it was not bc of them doing the song well, nor bc Heart is awesome, etc. John Bonham wore a black bowler (derby hat) on Led Zeppelin's 1975 Tour. When the curtain came up in the back of the stage - the whole choir was wearing bowlers. It reminded Robert of his best friend, John Bonham, and his death. Bonzo's death being heartbreaking and such a senseless loss. Robert even said that years afterwards. Anyone who knows Led Zeppelin quite well - knew why Robert cried in that moment and knew exactly what he was thinking about. Robert missed his friend, John, terribly. Bonzo was the one from the group, along with his wife, Patricia, who spent a lot of time comforting Robert after his son, Karac, died on July 26th, 1977 - during their mammoth 1977 US tour, which cut it short. I've been waiting years for one of the Zeppeliners to break down and cry re the passing of John Bonham. ❤💔❤️
About 10 years ago in San Francisco Heart played with Jason Bonham Band opening the show doing a Led Zep tribute show. Ann & Nancy cane out and a few acoustic Zep song. Very Cool
Well he’s not a kid, he is 70 yrs old himself and knows the band members quite well. He is a mad guitarist in his own right, that’s why page was loving it so much.
Can you imagine standing in front of your heroes singing their masterpiece........whew! But they killed it ✌️p.s. the guy in the back playing acoustic guitar is Kyle Gass one half of tenacious d with Jack Black ✌️
At 62 and 58, Ann and Nancy proved they were still the best badass women in rock. I prefer this to the LZ original. Did you notice Yo Yo Ma in the audience, rocking out during the electric guitar solo?
For all of my life, I'd said no one should ever cover Stairway To Heaven. Then I saw this. Now I say no one except Ann and Nancy should ever cover Stairway To Heaven.
Heart usually covers some Zep songs in their concerts, like Rock N Roll! You must do a Heart deep dive, they have decades of material and it's interesting to see how they change with the times but still sound amazing! Love you guys!
This shortened version of the performance is good. The full performance of song is even better. They cut out a verse and part of lead in this version. Not sure why. Showed some other celebs in audience jamming to this tribute
There are so many great performances from the Kennedy Center honors. Adam Lambert’s tribute to Cher is lovely. Beyoncé’s tribute to Tina Turner is AMAZING, and my favorite is Aretha Franklin’s tribute to Carol King.
Glad to see you guys choose this, but unfortunately, as others have pointed out, you were given an edited version that cuts about a minute out of the performance. Missing are parts of the amazing arrangement, both instrumental and from the 7 or 8 women backing vocal group. Also missing are reactions from Zeppelin themselves as well as some very notable VIPs in attendance. Here's the "Full Version" that only excludes Jason Bonhams introduction as well as some of the shot of everyone that participated in the tribute applauding from the stage at the end. Enjoy ! And thanks for all the great reaction videos you guys have done! ❤ th-cam.com/video/LFxOaDeJmXk/w-d-xo.html
Another thanks for pointing this out. I’m guessing, but it was probably edited for tv run time. I think part of guitar solo was cut too, again near sacrilege. Edit I think the mix is a little different too. Ann’s voice is more pronounced in the climactic rocking end in the full video I think.
@@grandwazoodebris1015 The entire uncut performance was aired on the TV show. I recorded the show. Didn't even know TH-cam had an edited version. Lacks the timely build up as performed originally. Still a killer set.
Heart inducting them was no accident. They met Led Zeppelin while both were in concert in Seattle in 1977. Both Bands became close, and kept in touch during the next 35 years or so.
In addition to their own iconic songs, Heart is a great Zeppelin cover band!!!!!❤ The great Shane Fontayne on guitar! Did you see Jimmy saying, “ Fuuuuuuck!” Ann was 62 here.
I get a kick every time I see Yo Yo Ma briefly grooving to the instrumental. Cool to see a trained classical virtuoso enjoying such a high level of musicianship.
Legends honoring legends in a room full of legends.
Well said
That says it all.
Rock legends honoring rock Gods.
Great comment 😊
They had to cut to Yo Yo Ma a couple of times during the guitar solo so that those who thought that Yo Yo was playing guitar, would know that he was actually in the audience.

Plant is Jason’s godfather.
Heart is a very underrated band. Those gals can hang with just about anyone
Never thought of thm as underrated 🤔
Best cover EVER.......
gives me chills every time. . . Thanks.
Great reaction. Love watching you guys enjoy this tribute. Keep up the great work.
Gave me chills.
You gotta react to Led Zeppelin Live At Celebration Day ( Their last reunion ) , No Quarter and Kashmir are incredible but they play all the hits, And it was filmed ! :)
Page's enthusiasm is endearing, and Plant is clearly overcome with emotion. Two very different and beautiful reactions to a very special moment.
Plant misses his friend
Qhen he teared up he was thinking of his best friend John Bonham as he watched Jason John's son and his godson play his dad's drum kit
To play that in front of not just Paige, Plant, and JPJ, but all of the other “celebrities” in that crowd is simply amazing! This maybe the greatest “cover” of all time!!!
@@rebeccalipps23 absolutely excellent!

( and holy cow, towards the end there when Jason looks up towards the heavens there sort of as to say 'how was that pop?'.... man right in the deep feels ..... )
"Paige"???????
it is and who has the balls to cover Led?
It is
Amen
The bowler hats worn by the choir was a tribute to Bonham, who wore them extensively during the late 1970's tours. Jason was also a surprise guest, and he played his dad's kit. Best Stairway cover I've ever heard, and fitting it came from Heart, who were heavily influenced by Zeppelin.
I love the cut to Yo-Yo Ma in the audience (world’s greatest Cellist) during the guitar solo. Talent appreciating talent.
The camera panned to Bonnie Raitt during the performance too
@@rubroken I believe I also caught Debbie Allen and Jimmy Kimmel?
@@sebastianblack6506 This video was shortened(I don't know why), in the full version I think I saw Steven Colbert and his wife
The saxophonist was Blue Lou Marini (Blues Brothers Band).
luv that too...he's totally rocking out.

Great pics out there of Keith Moon sitting down at a kit with a 3-4 year old Jason Bonham. If only…
I’m a 62 year old black guy and this makes me cry every single time.
56 year old white guy right there with you!
63 year old white lady, same here, every time.
Yep, another 56 year old reduced to a whimper over here!
50 y/o here. Always choke me up.
I agree completely!!!
Why is watching this so emotional?!!!!
'I know it's only Rock and Roll but I like it like it yes I do'
Music can be a very powerful thing!!.
I never get tired of seeing this tribute. For me, it’s the choir and the strings and horns that really elevate this. A beautiful tribute to LZ.
Ann Wilson turned in that performance at 62, and recovering from a cold...
Wow. Just, wow.
I heard that the group invited Jason to the event and he faked another commitment and surprised them on-stage as the drummer.
Yes. I read that he was asked by the guys to represent his dad, and he said he was busy. They didn’t know until that moment that he would be standing in for his dad, literally.
🙌 this 64-year-old Brit Led Zep fan's eyes are filled with tears - what a time to be alive! Well done America back in the time before alternative facts...

So cool. I didn't know that about J.B and his prior engagement! So funny!
I've probably watched this 100 times, but every time the backdrop lifts and the big choir kicks in, I still get chills. Such an amazing tribute.
Same with me, my friend
62 tear old Ann showed the kids how to do it . Rock Goddesses playing for the Rock God's and they nailed it.
Only band worthy of covering Led Zeppelinh
LOL. silly comment bruh. Nobody is truly worthy.
I get a chill every time I watch this.
Ann and Nancy were heavily influenced by Zeppelin, and were terrified doing this song. They didn't want to screw it up in front of their idols.
In fact over their career they've covered a number of Zeppelin tunes. I saw them cover "Rock n Roll" way back on August 16th 1977, the day Elvis died. It was the last song of the encore and they dedicated it to the King.
Just a little bit of pressure there, nailed it.
❤❤❤
Anne was born to sing this song, she brought Robert to tears singing his own song.
I love the look on their faces watching their song being preformed as a tribute to the great music they made. Heart killed it.
If you want to get a good laugh,
Honest Composer Reacts is one of the best.
FYI - This clip was the edited version that was played on TV. The producers in their infinite stupidity cut the song down. However, the good thing is that the full length version of the song is also on TH-cam...somewhere.
I believe they cut out the 'bustle in your hedgerow' verse.

Seeing lenny kravitz walk of stage in the start, think he did "Whole Lotta Love"
Maybe try that one.
Hallelujah, do you know how long I've been waiting for you guys to watch this performance, I tear up everytime I watch this, I hope you two enjoy it as much as I do🥰🤟🎵
This performance is INCREDIBLE!
Its a great cover for sure, without a doubt, but I chuckle when people say this is better than live Zeppelin from back in the day. Juss' sayin, keepin' it real.
In the words of Che..."I enjoy watching them enjoy it"
We feel the same way watching you all on your channel.
Rock legends playing for Rock Gods and Rock Gods Give A standing ovation to rock legends As Robert Plant shedding tears
It was an amazing compliment, but had a lot to do with Jason on drums and all those bowler hats. He and Jason's Dad were best friends.
I saw Robert Plant with Alison Krauss in Taos NM 3 weeks ago. Imagine a few Led Zeppelin songs played in the rockabilly style. Sold out show in a small park.

Love the Wilson sisters. Their chance to pay tribute to one of their primary music idols, the other being the Beatles, is difficult enough without having them present during such a prestigious event.

Same night . . . Lenny Kravitz did "Whole Lotta Love" and Kid Rock did "Ramble On." ALSO THAT NIGHT . . . Beth Hart and Jeff Beck did "I'd Rather Go Blind" in tribute to Buddy Guy.
and all those covers you named were all better than this performance, easily.
Jeff was supposed to play Jimmy Page's solo, but played with Beth Hart on I'd Rather Go Blind. This whole show was killer!!!
TMW legends know for sure that their music will live on after them. That had to be quite a moment for them. I saw this when it was first broadcast, by the end I was standing up crying and cheering. I was in high school when Stairway was first released, so this was just stunning. Thanks for reacting to it, I appreciate you guys.
Ann's voice has matured nicely. She was 62 years old when this was performed (2012). She still had it, for sure.
After watching this 1,000x it still brings a tear to my eye!😢👍🙏🎵🎸🥁
This is like a spiritual journey watching this. It’s has to be one of the greatest moments in the history of the Kennedy Awards Ceremony. Absolutely epic.❤️
This never gets old. 62 yo Nancy belting it out. The choir, orchestra, the guy who plays the forbidden riff in front of THE Jimmy Page.
The entire production was superb! Hats off to everyone on and creating behind that stage!!
Ann's singing, Nancy's playing her guitar -- both fabulous
Yes, it brought tears to Robert's eyes. Many people get this wrong about why he cried - it was not bc of them doing the song well, nor bc Heart is awesome, etc.
John Bonham wore a black bowler (derby hat) on Led Zeppelin's 1975 Tour. When the curtain came up in the back of the stage - the whole choir was wearing bowlers.
It reminded Robert of his best friend, John Bonham, and his death. Bonzo's death being heartbreaking and such a senseless loss.

I've been waiting years for one of the Zeppeliners to break down and cry re the passing of John Bonham. ❤💔❤️
Heart played this in concert when I saw them a few years ago and KILLED IT!
When Robert tears up,
I tear up. He said he was thinking of Bonzo during the performance.
About 10 years ago in San Francisco Heart played with Jason Bonham Band opening the show doing a Led Zep tribute show. Ann & Nancy cane out and a few acoustic Zep song. Very Cool
Great performance and great choice for lead vocalist.
I don’t think anyone had ever covered a Les Zeppelin song before! Heart was fantastic
Wow, just wow. I think Robert Plant was trying to hold it together. Bless him
Could you imagine playing Jimmy Pages solo in front of him???? Man respect for that kid…. He did a great job!
Well he’s not a kid, he is 70 yrs old himself and knows the band members quite well. He is a mad guitarist in his own right, that’s why page was loving it so much.
Can you imagine standing in front of your heroes singing their masterpiece........whew! But they killed it ✌️p.s. the guy in the back playing acoustic guitar is Kyle Gass one half of tenacious d with Jack Black ✌️
Ann Wilson was 62 when she gave this performance...!
Oh, I’ve been looking forward to the day you gave us this reaction. What a tribute to a tribute!
The greatest cover ever. Period. Goosebumps
I love that Jason, John Bonham’s son, was on drums for that tribute to his dad- the greatest drummer in rock history
That’s what gets me every time..
OMG I can't wait to watch this!!
(It wasnt as good as I thought it was going to be)
Its like they transition from “wow, that’s incredible, amazing, beautiful” to “damn, we did that, Im loving this”. So cool to see their reactions.
LOVE your reactions to Robert, Jimmy and John's reactions...
At 54 and growing up on both their music, it chokes me up a bit every time.
Plant lost his son and Bonham was there for him. And when Bonham died Plant has been there for his son Jason!
Plant is Jason’s godfather.

it's so absurd how phenomenal this performance is
There are so many great performances from the Kennedy Center honors. Adam Lambert’s tribute to Cher is lovely. Beyoncé’s tribute to Tina Turner is AMAZING, and my favorite is Aretha Franklin’s tribute to Carol King.
They killed it Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥💯
I can't help but grab my guitar and play along every time I hear this song. I don't care what was said in Wayne's world!😂🎶🎸
That was just out-freaking-standing
You guys watched the shorter version.

Y’all are spot on, the performance is just amazing! But watching Plant hold back the tears really tugs at my heart strings. Good job guys.
One of my favorite live performances ever
