    I was part of the choir for this show, it was an amazing experience. Dave Grohl was on drums for all the rehearsals, so it was a surprise to everyone when Jason Bonham came out for the final performance. Also, this video has footage both from the dress rehearsal, and the live performance. After the show was over, Stephen Colbert came up to me and 2 of my fellow choir members to tell us that we did a great job, it was surreal.
    Choral arrangement was done by Rob Mathes, and our chorus director is Joyce Garrett. Our choir was also at Obama's inauguration, Bruce Springsteen Super Bowl, and every Christmas in Washington performance on TNT, until it was canceled.
    We were drawn from a lot of different sources around the DC area, including some former High School choirs after we all graduated, some church choirs, and eventually some University of Maryland choir members.
    We rehearsed every day including weekends for about 3 weeks for this, and for most of our performances

    Robert Plant did a 2013 radio interview and was asked about this tribute concert. When he talked about Heart's performance, he said, "I hate it when people cover Stairway To Heaven because they always f**k it up. Heart did it brilliantly and I told them so at the after party, that evening." That was so cool.❤

    No one knew Jason was going to be playing drums that night, it was a shock to all there; Robert Plant was moved to tears because of his late best friend in the world John Bonham's son was playing drums in his dad's derby hat that he used to wear, and all the choir had a derby on as well. At the end of the song Jason acknowledged his dad's best friend with a heart felt salute to Robert, which was accepted in kind. Classy!!

      Warren Lambert: Her intro was done smoother that Jimmy's was, even on the album. Definitely better than he was in concert. I saw them 4 times and he was great 2 of them times but sucked the other 2 because of booze and/or drugs. But even in those 2 good times he always changed it up live from the studio versions. Sometime better and sometimes so so.

    That is my favorite cover of all time. Especially when you figure in the arena, the audience, and the fact that Jason Bonham is playing drums in front of the three remaining members of Zeppelin, it’s amazing. Ann Wilson is one of the few singers that can pull that song off as flawlessly as she did. Beautifully arranged and executed.

    First time that I saw this video my initial thought was how Robert Plant looked as if he was ready to cry through most of the song. But Jimmy Paige was smiling and really enjoying himself.

    Suzie Q, sidebar?
    There is an entire gamut of emotional hard-driving rock, ethereal ballads, and vocal godessliness to be had by even a cursory listen to ANYTHING by "Heart". During their era, a lion's share of the female talent in rock was embodied in a pair of sisters --- didn't hurt that they were ALSO hot as hell.

    Hi Guys. I'm following Ann and Nancy on Facebook. Ann was 62 and Nancy 58. The sisters still rock hard. They did a tour last summer after almost 3 yrsl. It was July thru October with one day off and almost 2 weeks in Sept. I still think that they are both still beautiful. Ann and Nancy killed it. This was a year before they got into the Rock Hall of Fame. Ann and Nancy were on tour at the time.

    Heart has stated many times that Zeppelin was a big influence on them. I saw Heart way back in 1977 during their "Little Queen" tour on the boardwalk at Convention Hall in Asbury Park, NJ across from the legendary Stone Pony. In fact Led Zeppelin played there in August of 1969, instead of at Woodstock. The date was August 16th the day Elvis died and they dedicated "Rock n Roll' to the King during the encore to finish off the show.
    Ann said they were a bit worried about doing the song in front of Robert, Jimmy & John and afterward they all went to dinner together and she said Robert Plant said he hated when people covered Stairway, that night he didn't mind.

  • @renansousa378
    @renansousa378 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Jimmy Page.. Doing that solo in front of him and execute beautifully is amazing. Jason and the choir behind them are using that hat because was a signature item by John Bonham. Also Bonham was Robert Plant's best friend. His lost is still felt by him, and the others as well. That's why you can see him crying. And when Ann sings "and she's buying a stairway to heaven" Jason looks up... Just amazing!

    • @nancyannschroeck
      @nancyannschroeck 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The first time I saw this, I teared up & got goosebumps when the bolo choir was disclosed. It, of course, is a tribute to the late John Bonham who wore a bolo hat when he played drums fir Zep. Almost bringing the missing 4th member back for a short moment.
      Jason Bonham is, I believe, wearing his father's hat & playing his drum set.
      Very emotional tributes.
      Of course, the ladies from Seattle got this, even though they didn't know they'd be playing STH when they signed on. They are awesome! Nancy not only is a great guitarist, but she sings ridiculous high backup vocals to Ann's amazing voice.
      Great reaction.
