AMAZING! Heart's Tribute to Zepplin! Stairway to heaven! | REACTION!

[@AriasandtheNATION]

Obviously nothing compares to the original version but this was absolutely stunning!

[@juliemanarin4127]

Those 3 older gentlemen they keep showing ARE the three re.aining members of Zeppelin...Robert...JPJ and Jimmy. This was a night of tribute to Zeppelin!

[@88pjtink]

HEART is a band worth exploring further. They are truly one of the finest rock bands of their era. Ann and Nancy are American treasures.

[@gerrimcgrath6878]

To be honest …. I prefer this version. Amazing job by Heart, the band and the back up singers.

[@88pjtink]

they elevated it. i agree. @@gerrimcgrath6878

[@stoneoutdooradventures2286]

I saw this couple of years ago for the first time was very impressed

[@baskervillebee6097]

Jason is Robert Plant's godson. Those are Jason's Dad's drums and bowler hat. When they called and asked him to play, he said he was previously booked. It was a total surprise when they saw him.😊

[@bella-xp7qd]

Dec 2012, you can still watch the whole tribute on KZbin

[@john9508]

This was excellent and the way Plant, Page and Jones were watching was fantastic. And the way Jason looks up to the sky at the end to his dad.

[@jennhurl]

I've seen this reacted to countless times but I really loved seeing the JOY on your face. Yes, underneath Ann's black jacket she has huge brass balls. Robert has said many times he dislikes covers of this song except for Heart so them doing the tribute was a perfect choice. You said you weren't sure how prestigious the Kennedy Center Honors are - well, it's our nation's highest award given to living person who has made a huge impact to our American culture. It's usually given to an individual but occasionally a group. As Britain's, they were even more honored to be given this award. Their influence on American musicians can't even be quantified. Well done, Heart!

[@markrowett8168]

Heart features Led Zeppelin covers in their shows. Led Zeppelin was a huge influence on the Wilson sisters.

[@Danandrea919]

I have watched reactions to this for about a week straight! I'm 60, saw Heart in concert, saw Zeppelin in concert, but only found this video a week ago! My FAVORITE part is seeing the looks and smiles on the face of my FAVORITE guitarists, Sir Jimmy Page!! What a treat!! I cry every time!!

[@waltertarantino9995]

I wish you played the longer version,, showed off Ann's voice even more.

[@elenasnchez7434]

Amazing...Ann Wilson Lady of Rock...legend is incredible ..for many peoples she and Floor is the best females vocalist in the history of.rock and metal...beautiful.tribute❤ the magistral guitarrist is Nancy Wilson legend to.

[@Melly01]

It's such a pleasure to see someone who knows the original, knows LZ, knows Heart, know Jason Bonham watch this. It's f*n incredible and I always get emotional for some reason. But when I watch people who react to this who have no clue, it's hard for me. They can appreciate it for the great experience that it is, but there are so many layers that's missing that I want them to experience. But you can see it in the faces of the people who get it. Thanks for getting it! (Ann was 62 at the time)

[@wen-nz3sk]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 This never gets old!! 😊 Ann was 62y in 12 when she belted that out. Whew!! I watched it when it aired that December specifically for this. ❤❤ Jason, on his dad's drums, had a fair amt of input and why Ann and Nancy performed. He toured with them and knows they incl a Zep tune or more in there line up. Has heard Ann's pipes and knows Nancy's skills on guitar. He also told Godfather Robert Plant, he wasn't able to attend when he asked. 🤫🤫🤫 Kept secret, hence the drum sticks pointed at Zep, as Robert stands and points back. What a night, if you get a chance, watch the entire tribute, beginning with Jack Black. 👍🏽

[@leephillips2837]

Ann Wilson simply has command. She is in command of the stage and the audience

[@wrorchestra1]

Ann Wilson has the perfect voice for this. Nancy Wilson is an amazing guitarist, equally up there with Jimmy Page. Bonzo certainly passed his talent on to his son. You could see Jimmy and John-Paul really enjoying it. Robert Plant looked close to tears on many occasions.

[@cdfdesantis699]

Couldn't have asked for a better tribute to Zep, & their official #1 Classic Rock song of all time, than this, by the incredible Wilson sisters & Jason Bonham. Thanks for your reaction.

[@stephanhamilton2083]

This honor is a BIG DEAL!! 👍😊

[@janfitzgerald3615]

This is the CBS version, they edited the performance to fit into the TV time slot. There is another video out there on KZbin which says “full version”. Incredible when you consider Ann was 62 and Nancy 58 when they performed this…and they’re still touring!

[@patriciaclark8751]

I have watched this at least 50 times and still have tears by the end.

[@jackhargrove4275]

Jimmy Pages Smiles , all the way through. So Iconic ,Heart Killed it .👌💯 Such a tribute. "The Greats"💞👌💯💥

[@patriciaferguson9204]

If you are interested in another Kennedy Center Honors, might I suggest Carole King as she is the most successful female songwriter of the 20th century. Incredible tribute by Aretha Franklin.

[@robertwalker1803]

One of the best things I have ever seen…The best song ever in my opinion.And Jason Bonham playing his dad’s exact drum kit really crushes me. Robert Plant said Jason made him cry…

[@Dan-zb1ks]

Now that you've shown the commercial, you should show the actual 8 minute version.

[@AriasandtheNATION]

I definitely will be circling back. Much love!

[@LiLiJo]

This was a true tribute to an epic band. The effort to put all those people on stage playing and singing together for one song was incredible and the only way to make it special.

[@bethking7348]

Music is a universal language

[@amb6899]

Ann Wilson is one of the greatest singers ever!!! This performance was phenomenal one of the best I've seen in my 60 yrs of listening to music. Best of success on yr channel. If u dig classic rock there's much great music especially from the late 60s into 71 to react to.

[@Kotic1959]

You make Robert Plant cry you did something right!!! Best cover I have ever seen!!!

[@wentibbetts7833]

Never gets old watching this. ❤

[@nancydemoss2945]

To see Robert Plant wipe away tears and the smiles of all 3 of the remaining Zep members really touched me that I was fortunate enough to see this performance! And fortunate enough to basically grow up on Zep! God bless them and RIP John Bonham!! 🙏 I know you were watching down from Heaven!!!

[@dolfinpt]

Knowing Zep was being recognized at the Kennedy Center and JP’s son on the drums…the reaction from the three of them(Zep) is moving ! Great tribute ! Love Heart! I’ve watched this many times and like to see peoples 1st listen! ❤

[@CardiacCat]

Loved that Jason Bonham was on drums in his dads place. That just made this performance that much more special.

[@gilsorger6548]

"Nothing's bigger than Zeppelin". You said it all.

[@stpnwlf9]

Heart has been doing Zeppelin covers forever. I heard Heart live in 1978 and they were doing 'Rock and Roll' as an encore to their set. Over the years, they've covered every single song off LZ's 4th album more or less routinely as part of their shows. This was spectacular because of all the extra stuff thrown in behind them as part of this tribute - including Shane Fontayn on the guitar solo and of course, Jason Bohnam on drums. If you want to catch Heart doing LZ as part of their regular sets, the Heart Live in Seattle videos from 2002 include Battle for Evermore as well as Black Dog.

[@daveloboda1769]

THE best cover of any song ever.

[@rudymorganti7155]

The drummer is the son of John Bonham and playing on his father drum set. 🙏❤️🇮🇹🇧🇪

[@LadyGator1983]

Priceless!!!! Heart killed it!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@cathyb46]

Plant was really moved, Page mouthing the guitar solo. Watched this so many times I believe Heart were inspired by Zeplin in the beginning of their musical journey, think they were friends

[@jancarr1]

You just witnessed something historic ❤️

[@tracyabbott3373]

It is a very very special honor to be honored at the Kennedy Center Honors. The sitting President attends. That’s why the Obama’s were there!

[@gailsimmons5270]

You should watch the whole show. A bunch of people were honored that day from different parts of the artistic world, but when it gets to the Zeppelin part, there were a few artist that did some other songs, and Jack Black was hysterical in the introduction. You have to watch the entire Kennedy honors show.

[@dorindacunningham9452]

Ann and Nancy Wilson wanted to be Led Zepelin.Ann was 62 when she did this. Just Amazing!

[@lakelili]

Absolutely gold!!!

[@lettyalday7879]

Yes!!! I love their tribute and having Jason at the drums ❤️

[@bella-xp7qd]

There were other artists who participated in the tribute Jack Black, Lenny Kravitz, and others. You see them at the end come on stage. But Heart stoled the show. Love how Jason looks to the heaven to his dad. Robert Plant is Jason's godfather. They didn't expect him to be there. He wanted to surprise them.

[@richardwest6358]

I am amazed that you have never seen this before. You should try to find and watch the whole concert so you can see all the other singers and musicians adding their appreciation & tributes.

[@jasonveldman4784]

Great reaction. One of my favorite covers/tributes!

[@bethking7348]

The whole concert is awesome. Watch it ❤

[@trinadawn4166]

no one covers Zeplin like Heart !!

[@88pjtink]

OUT OF THE BALL PARK, right? The single best cover on youtube, in my opinion. Maybe even just the best music video period.

[@gmel4967]

Dude, I agree. Biggest song, EVER, in front of the biggest band EVER. Wilson sisters got big balls, and pulled it off.

[@WNYretiree]

Thank you for doing that reaction. Ann Wilson did such a great job and, of course, the song is classic. It was a lovely rendition and I am so glad that I heard it. Ann Wilson is still going strong. She did a duet with David Draiman of Disturbed on Disturbed's new album that came out last year. I keep thinking that I would love to hear Ann and Floor do a duet. Can you imagine those two powerful, and almost perfect, voices together?

[@DaveCrokaert]

I'm sure Floor would be up for that she grew up being a huge Ann Wilson Fan

[@kevinjennings238]

I've been thinking that ever since I first Heard Floor!

[@LordRahl1975]

The entire tribute is worth watching. Introduced by Jack Black followed by performances by Foo Fighters, Kid Rock, Lenny Kravitz and then finally the Heart performance you just watched.

[@purplebongo27]

The best cover ever.... very emotional...thank-you Daniel..again..love & light 💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🌻

[@jacquilewis8203]

Beautiful cover

[@jaumepiquebernaus1853]

great choice, and honest reaction. Thank you. I have seen this video hundreds of times and I always shed a tear, especially seeing the faces of the Led Zepp members and accompanying Robert in his thoughts. Keep on rocking

[@007chinochef]

Hey bro!! Touching??? Or more. Robert Plant is in tears. Let me tell you something. You should check the entire tribute at the Kennedy's Center. You'll see Kid Rock, Foo Fighters, Lenny Kravitz and more playing their songs. And Jack Black introduce them, telling the history of the band. Is amazing. Thanks for your reaction. Greettings from Argentina

[@DaveCrokaert]

Ann Wilson is the Floor Jansen of Classic Rock. The absolute best voice in the genre. No wonder Floor is a huge fan of Ann. (Check out her cover of 'Alone', it's on het own KZbin channel. As for Heart songs, check the obvious 'Barracuda', the classics 'Crazy on You', 'Straight on' and 'Magic Man'. Or from the 80's glamrock period 'Never', 'If Looks could Kill' and Nancy doing the lead vocals on 'These Dreams'. Also from more recent albums 'Black On Black' is amazing.

[@randystalnaker6700]

Just brings a big ☺ to your face ❤=🔥

[@ecbftl]

I have always loved Stairway to Heaven (which i got strange looks when i would dance to it in my teens), and Kashmir. Found this tribute a few years ago. I was amazed, and loved it. You were enjoying it, and i was thinking, just wait until the choirs kick in. Someone mentioned it was an abridged version, and yes, it did seem shorter than I remember. I have become captured by Nightwish and related music, but the classic quality rock from my youth is great to hear.

[@waltertarantino9995]

I'll argue that Robert Plant and Ann Wilson are two of the best rock singers ever. Heart is legendary in their own right.

[@waltertarantino9995]

She killed it

[@ellesee7079]

Epic tribute! Heart and Zep go back a ways, and I don't think anyone else would have done this justice! Only other tribute that comes near is While My Guitar Gently Weeps with Dhani Harrison (son of George) and various others. Great reaction again Daniel. Loved your face - again! 🤗

[@Luckipete]

Another great one Daniel, incomparable song.

[@TheDivayenta]

Ann was a youthful 62 here! ❤

[@truckinfool3550]

Ann Wilson recently covered Layne Staley’s vocals in Rooster with Alice In Chains, in her 70s…

[@crazykaletrucker]

GREAT GREAT GREAT VOICE 😍😍

[@neilgilbert6798]

It's got to be one of the greatest tribute out there just awesome great reaction Daniel

[@philiphind7830]

2 bands 1 video more covers pls

[@ellenbacklin]

This is the best tribute ever at kennedy Center Honors in rock. Carlos Santana at Kennedy center honors is second in my opinion. Opera and classical music was my area although im a rock and blues keyboard player. Try yo yo ma kennedy center honors and then go to Luciano Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma from the opera turandot is the greatest tenor of all time.

[@jojeffrie962]

Great video reaction. It always gives me goosebumps everytime i see this tribute. Its the best cover ever. Ann is a true force of nature. 😊

[@glendawatson331]

Tarja has done a Medley of Led Zeppelin songs that is on YT

[@justinlagrange5591]

Can you imagine the stones on that dude to play that solo in front of the greatest of all time

[@AriasandtheNATION]

Boulders man! Lol!

[@RMForbes505]

Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm a huge Heart and Zeppelin fan and wasn't aware of this performance until I started watching these reaction videos during the covid lock down. We all live under rocks to some degree.

[@FromG2eminor]

Great rendition and tribute. I watched this a couple of weeks ago and it was even better the 2nd time. 😊

[@davecleggett9371]

Terrific reaction Daniel - you nailed it all with your comments. Suggestion for you? Camel, Ice, live. Astonishing band and great live performance. Thanks for the uploads!

[@ronlyster5667]

Great reaction Daniel!

[@Hadewijch_]

A beautiful tribute 💜

[@firebugjohnnypyro]

Now do Floor Jansen covering Heart's 'Alone' :)

[@kerrycronin256]

Can you imagine having to perform that guitar solo in front of Jimmy Page himself? You cannot make a mistake, and he didn't. Amazing!

[@michaeldecker3480]

Talk about the guitar player playing that solo in front of Paige.

[@stpnwlf9]

Shane Fontayne -- he has a long studio career and is very talented, but not that well known outside England, or even inside England for that matter.

[@tskend8502]

Check out Beth Hart’s ‘Zeppelin Tribute’ Album

[@margaretnicol3423]

I think they were clever having Heart do the tribute. A male band would probably be much more intimidated.

[@roberteatwell6827]

Such a shame you picked the wrong video, as so many reactors do. This is the abridged version. Do yourself a favour and watch the full version.

[@kimfabritiusdetengnagel2038]

Amazing cover, but I think the producer did not do Ann's magnifying voice full justice - I know she has a great belting power, and we couldn't hear it enough here. Ann is almost Floor Jansen level - but was tuned down here.

[@shelleyparsons5735]

You got the shortened version here. There are a couple of verses missing. Great reaction though.

[@larryfisher2633]

I understand Ann Wilson was 62 at this time

[@alexandrabarrenbrugge4585]

Hi 😄,Timeless!!! Ask the "young" today about Led Zepplin and some might answer: never heard of them 🤔. Play Stairway to Heaven and most, if not all, will say: oh, oh wait, i know this song. It will be the same in 100 years. Play the "FORBIDDEN RIFF" 🤣 and they will know. I can't recall a better cover/tribute than this one. Miss HEART. Party on... 🤘 Bye

[@jeffreykabik]

I see you are in Baltimore.

[@jeffreykabik]

If I could only hear and see one music video for the rest of my life it would be this concert .G.O A.T.

[@scottsharbonno1708]

I have said this before, I wish someone would take down this version of this performance. It chops the guitar solo and loses Miss Wilson's voice in the mix at the end. It is a shame people watch this version and miss so much

[@novanights2chevy597]

Ditto, anyone who enjoyed this should watch the uncut version.

[@bethking7348]

I think Heart did it better❤drummer was the son of the original who overdosed

[@turboz6477]

I wonder how much it would cost 🤔😂

[@shelleyparsons5735]

I wish somebody would get rid of this version. There are a couple of verses missing & it really messes it up. Great reaction though.

[@MikeInMD1961]

Don't know if this was mentioned, but Ann Wilson was 62 at the time of this tribute, and she was fighting the flu. What a set of pipes!

[@duncanwyer2460]

🇬🇧 Norfolk : no words for this great performance and to do it for the original artist and get that respect ✊
