The Bowler hats: The drummer is Jason Bonham, the son of LZ Late drummer John "Bonzo" Bonham who was known for wearing that style hat, so it was a tribute to him. When Bonzo passed, LZ didn't feel that he could be replaced and they ended the group. The lead singer, Robert Plant and Bonzo were very close friends and Robert was the godfather of Jason Bonham. Jason was wearing his fathers' Bowler hat and playing on his dad's drum kit, while the Choir also wore the hats in memory of Bonzo, that is one of the reasons why Robert was brought to tears.
And Jason was supposed to be sitting with them but told the boys he had a “previous engagement”.
❤🎉😊
Also playing on his father’s drum kit.
Robert is Jason’s godfather, Robert & John were friends since about the age of 14, & played in at least 2 other bands together. I think Robert was thinking John should be there, watching his son play in a tribute to them. The best cover of this song ever.
Thanks for taking the time to share this. Much appreciated
I saw a comment on this video once that said something like “the goddesses of rock paying tribute to the gods of rock by nailing the song that made them gods”- and I couldn’t agree more!
Now how did you remember this?😮😮
Ann Wilson was 60 and still killing this while she had the flu! Great reaction! She is going through cancer treatment currently. All the best Ann.
I heard the treatment cycle is over and they are scheduling spring concert dates.
@@444dkm That would be so magnificent!
Can you imagine the pressure of playing that guitar solo in front of Jimmy Page?❤
I would crumble!
@leisastalnaker3790 lol...the look of pure joy on his face though, especially near the end...he looked like he was going to burst into tears...
The little glance upwards, Jason Bonham gives almost at the end always gets me.
makes me cry every time
❤ It's like "this is for you Dad"❤
🌸 so John Bonham was the drummer for Zep.. he passed away at age 30 I believe or 32 and the drummer in this is his son Jason... playing his dad's drum set and wearing his dad's bowler hat that his father always wore.....and Robert is Jason's godfather.
Thanks for letting me know. Sad to hear about his father. I was wondering about the connection with the bowler hat.
I love watching Jimmy Page just wallow in the joy of the moment, as Heart pays the ultimate tribute. Kudos to him, and to them.
This is one of the best live covers of this song or any song for that matter! I have seen this video many times, but it never gets old.
Heart and Led Zeppelin knew each other from the early 70s, when Heart was an LZ cover band. LZ was so impressed that they gave Heart a lifetime permission to play their music, something they gave to very few musicians.
Ah, okay. Very happy to see you’ve done this one right after the original version. Some reactors wait months or years between the two and don’t truly get how stupendous this tribute by Heart is. Absolutely love your intelligent reactions and your creative skills and instincts that enhance them. Keep this fire burning, brother.
It was a great day to check these out back to back. Magnificent!
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words.
I heard they gave Beth Hart the same book. Big thing for them both
😂😂😂YES...YES...YES!!!! Thanks Saeed and Allen...shout out to Shane Fontayne for the great guitar solo...
What an awesome performance! Thanks for watching.
Finally, the full guitar solo. It pains me when people are only exposed to the hacked (6 min) version.
@@LonghopeBro-ju6jl me as well...
They did such an awe-inspiring tribute to Led Zeppelin, it even brought them to tears. All the guys were there except John Bonham, the drummer, who passed away many years ago. As others have stated, Robert Plantvand John were best friends from their early teens, and Robert was Godfather to John's son, Jason. They had asked Jason to join them at the Kennedy Center since it was his father he would be there for, but Jason told them he was already committed to something else. Yeah, the shock on their faces to see that the "something else" was playing his father's drum set wearing his father's bowler hat and paying tribute to them, with Heart. John wore that hat when he played, so Jason wore John's hat, and the choir paid tribute to John by all of them wearing a bowler. The best tribute ever. The guys did look fragile, especially Robert. But nobody deserved that tribute and honors more than they did. I hope Heart gets a tribute, too, as they so deserve one. Thank you, Saeed, for watching them back to back. It put things in perspective in regard to age, time, and memories. Much love to you and your family ❤️ 🫂.
I think Robert is indestructible! At 76 he's still out there,, still got the voice, still touring. Jimmy at 80 leads a quieter life but is still playing.
Amazing tribute. Thanks so much for sharing a bit of info. I was wodering about some of these things. Have a great day, Debbie. Much love to you and your family.
This has to be one of the best tribute performances for anyone by anyone of all time! Thanks for the reaction! BTW, Ann just got a green light to go on tour after receiving cancer treatments. She has, to me, the greatest female rock voice of all time.
I grew up in this era, in a suburb of Seattle. Heart was our local band (I'm a year older than Ann). Imagine hearing them in 1967 (the year I graduated from high school). What I love about this tribute is the validation of what geniuses rock musicians really were, and the lasting legacy of this song that the original writers/performers get to witness. They are so valued during their lifetime. I also loved it that John Bonham's son was there to play drums and connect with his dad in that way. I always burst into tears watching this.
Robert Plant has said that he hates it when people cover this song, because they always F it up. But he was obviously impressed with Heart's performance and told them so at the after-party. Also, Dave Grohl sat in for Jason Bonham for the rehearsal to keep his appearance a surprise. Plant wanted him to sit with them in the Honor Section, but he made up an excuse that he had other commitments.
You're right, it was Dave Grohl. Another edit of the occasion shows him applauding at the end.
Robert Plant is one year older than me. When I first saw Zeppelin live I was 19 and Robert was 20. You can only imagine the emotion I feel when I see this!!! Many, many years have passed since I was at that concert. Incredible and can't be described. Only experienced.
The Kennedy Center Honors is a great show every year. With top notch performances. But this is the best. IMO.
Just so glad you chose the Full version! 🙌🏿
🖖🖖🖖😍
Jason Bonham, Jon's son on drums! Robert Plant is his godfather! It was a surprise, he told them he couldn't make it!
Ooooh! That is a cool surprise!
@@SaeedReacts. He said he couldn't sit with them all cause he had another event...then he appeared on stage!
Bowler hat was the signature of his dad, Jon Bonham, considered the greatest rock drummer ever.
An AMAZING performance!...........for some reason I can't help but to get teary eyed no matter how many times I've seen this (probably 100+).......
@riksplace Me too.
. You are a true music fan Saeed. Your other followers will help explain how unreal this performance is. The drummer is the son of the original drummer. Like father , like son. The respect both ways is spine tingling. Ann Wilson nay be the greatest female ROCK singer of all time. This is one for the history books. 👏🔥👏🔥👏🔥👏
I am getting a musical education by the many comments 😀 awesome performance. Thanks for watching.
Ann Wilson has one of the most powerful female voices. And her sister Nancy can play a mean guitar. This is one of the best tributes to Led Zeppelin with Ann & Nancy doing the classic song "Stairway To Heaven". No one else could have pulled it off as well. "Heart" have had so many great hits such as "Magic Man", "Crazy On You", "What About Love", "Never", "Dog & Butterfly", "These Dreams", "Alone" etc.
Love Crazy on You. Such a great song.
Thank you for doing the full version!
Thanks so much for watching !
Ann and Nancy Wilson have long been fans of Led Zeppelin and have several Led Zeppelin covers on TH-cam. My favorite is their cover of "Battle of Evermore".
Guitar solo by Shane Fontayne, formerly of Lone Justice. That band was fronted by the great Maria McKee and both LJ and Maria solo are worth checking out. There's a live version of Maria solo doing a song called Breathe on a late night TV show hosted by saxophonist David Sanborn. It's remarkable. The song is so dramatic and her performance so emotional. I remember seeing her do it live in a club and the tension it created was almost overwhelming. At the end of the song, she turned her back on the audience, stepped to the back of the stage and sort of shuddered and shook herself out.
Saw this notice pop up while commenting on your reaction to the original Led Zepp song! Great idea to react to them back to back! This performance is the only worthy cover this iconic song and it can still, after twelve years, bring tears to my eyes. The original never did that. The original gives you pause, makes you think and contemplate, but never brought tears. Watching Jimmy, Robert and John's reactions is what gets me every time. Their initial trepidation followed by their interest, awe, then joy as the performance progressed. Ann's vocals, Nancy's guitar, the surprise and shock of seeing Jason on his dads drum kit and then all the bowler hats.....honored the music and brought fun memories to what could've otherwise been a somber event.
Great reaction, thanks for the memories.
What a performance. Thanks for sharing your experience. It definitely is moving. ❤️
Here in Central Florida, we made it through Hurricane Milton a few days ago. RIP to the ones who didn't survive, and prayers to their loved ones. Just sitting on our porch with coffee, catching up on reaction videos. ❤❤This is one of the very best tributes I've ever seen/heard. I love Heart, and Led Zeppelin. Thank you for the reaction, and the smiles😊
Glad you are okay. My thoughts go out to everyone affected by this 🫂❤️
Thanks so much for watching. Stay safe!
@@SaeedReacts. Thank you.
This tribute is amazing, I'm glad you did the reaction. Big kiss. Ana
Stairway Xs 2 today... Ambitious...lol
Keep it rockin' Now 🎶✌️☮️🕊️🇺🇸
The guitarist, Shayne Fontayne was married to troubled actress Mackenzie Phillips (daughter of John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas) for 14 years.
This arrangement shows how singers, musicians, an orchestra and a chorus can transform a song into a wonderful spectacle but still stay true to the original. If you liked this style you should also react to Adam Lamberts’ version of “Believe”, performed at a Kennedy Center Honors’ tribute to Cher where he covers her iconic hit song. It’s a tour de force performance.
I love that song. Must check out that performance at some point.
Love how you did these reactions brother. Back to back with the original and the tribute. Only you could be so cool!😎
Thanks so much for this one, Alan! Appreciate you!
I’m so glad that you reacted to this. I love everything about this performance - and everything about your reaction.
Incredible performance! Glad i finally got to it. Thanks for watching!
Great rendition. Love this music!
This wasn't a cover...................it was a compliment!
Ann was amazing, singing past two choirs and all the musicians all the way to the back of the room. Sadly, she passed away from brain cancer last week. She was a local gal from Seattle and I knew her. I will really miss her.
I actually watched this Live when it first aired on TV back in 2012...I made sure to be there sitting back in my bed with my wife to take all that memory in...I knew that this was a Historic moment...I couldnt miss it
The Zeppelin version was the #1 requested radio song in North America from 1973-2000. Every single year.
Saeed, I see you went from the greatest solo performer on the Planet, possibly ever with the incredible Miss Lucy Thomas, to Heart and their backing band plus orchestra putting out an incredible masterpiece as a tribute to the greatest band ever, Led Zeppelin! Shocking surprise that both Lucy Thomas and the members of Led Zeppelin are ALL from England, where the top of the list performers have hailed from there!
So many great artists come from England. Amazing!
Lol...audience...Yo Yo Ma...Stephen Colbert...Jimmy Kimmel...Bonnie Raitt...Debbie Allen...Oh yeah, The Obamas...many more, all that I recognized
HOORAY!!!
THANK YOU for reacting to the full wonderful performance!!
…I’m also SO VERY HAPPY and GRATEFUL that Anne Wilson recently - SUCCESSFULLY - completed her cancer treatments, and is on the road to recovery! (I was so upset when first hearing about her diagnosis this summer, because the poor timing fell right on the heels of my best friend having suddenly passed away of cancer with only a couple weeks’ notice… So of course I thought “oh no, NOT Anne, too!”)
🥰🙏🥰🙏🥰
That is great to hear! Hope she makes a full recovery.
WOW!!! I have no words. Amazing performance!
This performance and Adam Lambert's rendition of Cher's disco song, Believe, at her Kennedy Center Honors event are the two most outstanding performances I've ever seen. Both brought tears to the eyes of the original artists.
The wall of sound!! Wow!! Great great. TX Saeed. Greetings from South Africa
Amazing performance! Thanks for watching it with me. Greetings from Belgium
There is a little longer version of this video which includes the introduction of Jason Bonham, John Bonham's son. The interaction between him and the members of Led Zeppelin is cool to watch. I think this version also has a few edits out of the song itself.
Yes, I always wonder about that when I see someone reacting to it. "Are they going to have the right version...?" Often it is no... :(
@@obiwanbenobi4943unfortunately, the version with Jason’s introduction is shorter. Verses of the song have been edited out. I wish there was one complete performance of this.
Heart did more than justice to Led Zepplin's iconic song. You can the looks on their faces. It says it all! Love your reaction!
They definitely did! Thanks for watching!
Cry EVERY time! Both bands HUGELY influenced me growing up. To see our Seattle gals playing to their favorite band, their idols if you will, then the late John Bonham’s son on drums combined with the choir and reaction from Plant and Page…epic!!!
Amazing performance!
🌸 I have probably seen this a hundred times and I still cry
Same here! ❤
❤❤👏👏👏❤❤ What more can I say. 😊❤Stay safe
For the record, literally, Heart record Rock and Roll from Led Zeppelin, which is on their Heart Greatest Hits/Live album. During their Desire Walks On tour on 94,I saw them so The Battle of Evermore on stage. They are huge Zeppelin fans and will play their sins whenever they can. So I know this was a thrill for them. This would be every Zeppelin fans dream
Bonnie Raitt had a gig there, too… She was one of the people playing in the tribute to Blues legend Buddy Guy…Who was sitting halfway between Zep , & the Obamas
Fantastic performance! Thanks Saeed
Amazing! Thanks for watching.
Ann Willson from Heart has some powerful vocals!
The guitarist doing the electric guitar solo is Shane Fontayne, who went out on the road with the “Other Band” when Bruce had put the E Street Band on the shelf.
I hadn't seen this before. It's 🔥💯
After hearing the album version 12,982 times, this performance got to me a little bit. 🙏🎶🩵✌️🕊️☮️🇺🇸
Such an incredible tribute! Thanks for checking it out with me.
ANN, NANCY, rocked this tribute along with all
I saw an interview with Ann, who was recovering from the flu during this performance, and the conversation with the band after and her sis before. Great behind the scenes info. This performance makes me cry every time! Between Robert tearing up and Jason looking up at the end, gets me every time!
Will look up that video. Incredible performance. Thanks for watching
In the US, the intro of STH (recorded nearly 50 years ago) is jokingly banned in guitar stores as “the forbidden riff” (bc it’s usually the first thing customers strum when they tryout a guitar). Heart’s performance blew them away, Plant & Page. It was like they were hearing it for the first time. What a legendary performance by the legendary Wilson sisters.
That is hilarious! I would have been one of those people thinking i was impressing someone :D
Honestly...this performance...it just takes your breath away...the drummer was the late drummer John Bonham's son, Jason...the bowler hat was something John always wore...
It was also a surprise to everyone that Jason Bonham was going to play the drums. During practices Dave Grohl played the drums!!!🎵🎼🎶🤘🤘🤘🥁🎙🎸🎹🎤🎧🔥🔥🔥
@@marcieharreld286 keep in mind...they only had 2 practices with Heart in attendance...Robert Plant actually called and invited Jason to attend, not knowing Jason was already going to be there as the drummer...Jason said he informed Robert he already had obligations, and would not be able to attend...soooo...Robert was shocked and pleasantly to see Jason there at the beginning of the performance...
@@randystalnaker6700 so true!! 🤘🤘🔥🔥
@@marcieharreld286 😄😄😄
@@randystalnaker6700 i loved the surprise on Robert Plant's face when Jason came out!! It was priceless!!🤘🤘
David Letterman is sitting next to them, and his wife behind him in a very rare public appearance for her.
I missed it. Must rewatch it.
SHE KILLED IT!!
Hey Saeed! I couldn't listen to this one for a long, long time, when I finally did, I was shocked at how good it was! Seeing Robert Plant almost in tears made it even better! I think I would have been overheated in that big coat she was wearing! I will send positive vibes to her as she goes through cancer! I am not a person that prays, so it's the best I can do! All good vibes help I'm sure!
Incredible performance!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the heart, it's appreciated very much!
@@SaeedReacts. It was, I feel bad that I avoided it for so long! Thank you for your reply!
Heart took them to church here! ❤
Yes, amazing tribute. "Heart" performing this great "Led Zeppelin" song along with an excellent choir and two fantastic guitars, what else could I ask for?. I'll think about it 🤔😊. Nice reaction 👌, see you next time 👏👋
This is truly magnificent! Thanks for watching!
Legendary ❤ 🔥
Wow. My first time hearing about Anne's cancer. I guess I've been living under a rock lately. Prayers for her full recovery. And nice reaction by the way. You always seem to know how not to overdo it.
Hope she makes a full recovery.
Thanks so much for watching!
ive seen this 173645 times loved watching it again with you of course
Ill bet you watched this twice. So that makes it 173646 times
@@bob2shred894 just once but it was great. Cheers
U doing this right after doing the original is perfect!!!! U a step above the rest. Super smart!!!!
It was a great day checking these out back to back! Thanks for watching.
I had avoided this cover, I have a problem with some songs being covered. I took a chance and watched with you. I'm glad I did, they did it very well.
I'm the same. I usually don't like the covers as much as the originals or even when the same artists play it later and it sounds different than the studio recording. It still might be a great song and sound good, but it doesn't sound right. This sounds great, a pleasure to hear and watch, plus I love Heart. I put it on a different scale and thing it is worth hearing. :) I've watched this video many times now and still appreciate it.
All the people involved should feel proud of accomplishing such a large project.
Thanks so much for checking it out with me. That means a lot ❤️
The very first day I heard Zeppelin Myself and some friends were tare taking a farm. My friend came in holding this album. So 3 J's later we are on the floor with both JBL's cranked to the clean max. I will never forget the wonder I felt listening to them for the first time.
Moment when Jason, John Bonham's son look up is priceless! Amazing tribute to LZ! Thank you so much for this reaction! ❤
Such a great performance. Definitely one i will watch a few times. Thanks for watching.
@@SaeedReacts.Any available Led Zeppelin's live version on Stairway to Heaven is must to see, hear and feel !!! Each of LZ are genuine virtuouse!!! Anyway, welcome to the Led Zeppelin's musical and lyrical "rabitt's hole"😏
While I still haven't found a totally unedited version reacted to, this video is edited slightly different, so it shows more of the solo and Jimmy's wonderful reaction. The guitarist is obviously next level and he knocked the solo out of the park. I'm sure Jimmy told him so at the reception afterwards.
the drumer is the son of the original drummer he used to wear that hat
Heart opened for LedZep back in the day for a while and received a lot of inspiration from them.
Awesome!
Great reaction. Keep up your good work
Thanks!
The guy was a Robert Plant. Who sang the vocals for Led Zeppelin. Ann has a set of pipes still in her 60s. The guy next to him
Is Robert Page- an amazing. Guitarist from their band
Ann has a way of touching your heart or reaching in and ripping it right out of you! Lol
They grew big zeppelin fans and before they hit stardom heart did a lot of zeppelin covers. ❤
At the 8:00 minute mark, they show a shot of Led Zeppelin and David Letterman is sitting next to Jimmy Page. I've seen this countless times but just noticed him sitting next to them.
I totally missed that. Thanks for pointing it out.
They are proud about their song and the interpretation by heart
I'm not sure if this was already mentioned but Ann Wilson was 62 years old at the time of this tribute, AND she was fighting the flu. What a set of pipes!
The guitarist was Shane Fontayne, who's played with Bruce Springsteen among others.
*In addition to the Obamas, you can see Bonnie Raitt, Debbie Allen, Stephen Colbert, and Yo-Yo Ma rocking out!*
🌸 this is so ironic because as I was watching your original Zeppelin reaction , I considered writing you and asking you to do this one !
So glad i finally got to it after hearing so much about it. The high expectations were definitely met and even exceeded.
The best comment I've ever read was from someone who posted previously...
"Now Led Zeppelin is experiencing the same vibe we all felt the first time we heard this son*!@........ excuse me........."Anthem"!
Just Perfect
Oooh! That is a good one!
robert plant is still recording, most notably with bluegrass icon allison krauss. it would be good if you were to dive into their work.
Rock Royaly playing for Rock Gods, an amazing performance: Ann Wilson is simply one of the greatest rock voices of the world. I've seen this a lot and it still makes me emotional! The drummer is the son of Led Zep's drummer.
What a performance. Definitely one i will be revisiting from time to time.
Thanks for watching and letting me know about the drummer.
These men are artists.Big Led Zeppelin fan
The story goes that LZ asked Jason Bonham to play at this Tribute, but he said that he couldn't as he had a previous booking. hence their pleasant surprise when he appeared on stage.
That is an awesome surprise!
Jason Bonham has played with Led Zeplin a couple of times in live performance's, Kashmier is my fave that he played on cannot remember the year but worth the look up and watch.
KCH 2012. I watched it when it aired in December, that yr, specifically for Heart.
Honorees, incl Buddy Guy, Dustin Hoffman, Natalia Makarova, David Letterman, and Zep.
KCH was founded by JFK to honor those who have contributed to American Arts and Culture. Sitting POTUS usually attends, hence the Obama's. There are maybe 5 RnR honorees.
Having seen Heart multiple times, incl touring with Jason Bonham, son of John Bonham, aka Bonzo, LZ drummer, I know Heart covers a lot of LZ in their sets.
John/Robert were very close mates. Knowing about the KCH, Plant extended the invite to Jason, which he declined because he was planning this tribute as a surprise. 😂
I'm glad you watched this version. I think the solo is longer. The missing piece is when they announce this tribute, Jason is introduced 1st and points his sticks directly at Plant, who stands and points back. 😆
The boller hat worn by Jason and the youth choir were Bonzos trademark hat, directly on Jason's head. And of course, the ending, as Jason nods to his Dad.
I can't call this a cover. A TRIBUTE from the Goddesses of Rock honoring their Legends.
This was very therapeutic writing, on such a b*tch day, I thank you for the video and story. 😂✌🏽
Thanks for taking the time to share this. Was wondering about that hat. Incredible performance!
David Letterman is seated next to Page. He was honored earlier that evening.
Oh, i might have seen some of those clips a few years ago.
On TH-cam there's a 3 minute video of President Obama awarding those medals to the remaining members of Led Zeppelin. You might want to check it out, President Obama has great comedic timing as he awards them the medals
Heart did a lot of Led Zeppelin's song covers over the years. They were big fans, and the songs suited Nancy's great voice.
Zepp famously hated ppl coving this song. Especially Robert. This was a glowing exception. Rough that man to tears.
Shout out to Shane Fontain (Michael Barakan) for doing the solo under that sort of pressure 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎸
Ann just said that she is well enough now after her chemo to get back out on the road for 2025
I would cave and crumble! 😅
Glad to hear that!
The best comment I've ever seen about this epic performance is " Playing Stairway to Heaven in front of LZ is like reading the bible to god"
Ooooh! Good one!
This edit missed the introduction of Jason Bonham on the drums. Robert, his godfather and close friend, had invited him to come as his guest and Jason didn't tell him he would be playing, just said thanks but I've got another gig that night. He even hid when the band came backstage before the show. The moment when Jason was introduced, Robert leaps to his feet in delight as he realises he's been fooled! A great moment.
Robert has said that it was only this occasion that made him understand why the song meant so much to millions - previously he had come to despise Stairway as an early work with too much Tolkien-style imagery and effects that were just too easy. Hearing the song performed with such passion and mastery brought home to him what a masterpiece he and Jimmy had written.
I don't think Robert has ever felt that the end of his career is near. At 76 he's still touring in yet another great collab, after the massive success of his collaboration with Alison Krauss, which meant he had to learn a whole new genre (bluegrass) as well as the fun of collecting possible songs for the albums and arranging them with Alison and legendary producer T Bone Burnett. In an archive interview with the three men, Robert was still the one with all the nervous energy, while John Paul Jones revealed a great ability with hilarious one-liners. Worth watching to see how three rock gods have turned into affable elderly English gentlemen, while still keeping some fire in their bellies.
Thanks for taking the time to share this. Learned a few new things. Definitely want to learn more about them and their music.
Congratulations on finding the full version, most react to the edited version. The full version has Ann's vocal's higher in the mix, so you can appreciate how great she is, as always. You can hear the rawness in her voice in the last verse as she pushes, so great. The edited version also obviously has "edits", which seems almost sacrilegious to us old fart Zep heads. The guitar solo is chopped up in the edited version; here it's complete (I think?), as it should be since it is so so iconic. The full version also has more people watching moments, like Bonnie Raitt etc, that's fun to see iconic artists appreciating this (Sheila E, Yo Yo Ma, ...). If/when you see Zeppelin live versions, they don't sound like this. Zep was kind of a jam band live, and never used other musicians live, so it was always 4 people, lots of improvisation, some mistakes and some inimitable brilliance.
So glad this link was sent to me. When i was making the thumbnail I saw there was a shorter version and i smiled, cause it has happened in the past with other video's i had an edited version.
Thanks for taking the time to share some info and your thoughts on this performance. Much appreciated.
Next Must:
See Zeppelin in 2007!
Kashmir - Live from Celebration Day (John Bohnam’s son Jason, on drums)
Thanks Saeed! From what I understand, Plant really didn't like listening to covers of this song for the most part (I don't remember why). This performance was highly emotional for the remaining band members. As I understand it, it was a surprise that the son of the late, great drummer John Bonham, filled in here (and did some touring with Zep at some point). The bowler hat was in tribute to Bonham as well. Good stuff. ☮
Interesting! Thanks for sharing that.
