Plant had invited Jason to join them, Jason said he couldn’t because of a commitment, Plant is Jason’s godfather. So they were so surprised to see him playing, & so proud of him. Jason was playing on his fathers kit, & wearing his father’s bowler hat, he did his father proud. This is the only cover of this song I love, they did amazing. Jack Blacks speech is so funny & great, a huge Led Zeppelin fan, especially letting him use The Immigrant Song. Thanks for your reaction.

Drummer here. Jason is a very good drummer. Jason was the drummer for heart when I saw them perform. The first half of the show they did Zepplin covers, and heart always nails it. The second half they played hearts songs. Ann Wilson knocked it out of the park. Excellent show. I love this performance of the song. I think plant was emotional because everyone in the choir was wearing a derby in honor of John Bonham. one thing I know is that Robert Plant and John Bonham were very close friends even before zeppelin formed.

Stunning performance by Heart, et al. I love this and all the splendor that is attached to it to celebrate the event. Good job on the review, Justin. Picking it apart really isn't necessary since it is meant to be over the top, but I do agree that Ann got a bit overpowered in parts by the choir and strings but that's okay, she has a powerful enough voice to bring it anyway. What I find to be the most interesting is that with just 4 people on the stage, Led Zeppelin made this song equally spectacular, back in the day. Where these old rock bands are concerned, it always seems like it takes an army of performers to even begin to recreate what they did so minimally.

Stairway to Heaven. The song that every dork thinks he can play... when he really can't. But this is Heart. Who can. The members of Zep were clearly happy to see a song that's butchered and dishonored SO often done right.

CBS edited down the performance to fit into the time slot as others, Foo Fighters and Lenny Kravitz had performed ahead of Heart. Somewhere out there is a version that says “full version” that includes the verses and reactions that were edited out. Take another good look at Plant’s face, his eyes are very watery and it looks like he’s struggling to hold back some tears. And yes that was Yoyo Ma. Sadly Ann announced today that she had surgery and they found cancer so she’s cancelled her current tour with Nancy while she under goes preventative chemotherapy.

It's a thing isn't it... knowing how you would like to hear it... and reacting to what is going on with the arrangement... Robert Plant was like that because he was fighting back tears....!! You can see at the end that he's wiping them out of his eyes... As for Jason Bonham... Zep got back together for a one off concert in 2007 as a tribute to Ahmet Ertegun who founded their record label Atlantic, and Jason plays the who concert with them..... Basically filling his dads chair..... search youtube for Zep - Celebration Day and you can get an idea of his chops. In fact I would recommend reacting to "Kashmir" from that concert.... Robert Plant at 59 could still do it... And then some. Keep on Rocking man.

The reason why Plant looked a bit off was because he really doesn't like when people perform Stairway. He even refuses to do it himself, but he was trying not to cry during this because this time he loved it and told Ann and Nancy that later on.

Justin…. I’m SO SORRY to say this, but: OHHH. NOOOOO!! There are TWO versions of this performance on KZbin, and you unwittingly picked THE. WRONG. ONE. (This video is NOT. Heart’s FULL performance, it’s been edited down for broadcasting and is about TWO MINUTES SHORTER than the entire performance. The full thing is a HUNDRED TIMES BETTER. (This edited version sounds/feels “homogenized” in comparison.) The full video IS also on KZbin; it has “FULL VERSION” in the heading, and the opening shot image is of the outside of the building. …Most reactors “don’t seem to care” when they make the mistake of watching this shortened version, but I feel that you’re a “serious” reactor, Hon, and that you’d be interested in seeing Heart’s FULL performance in its entirety.

Not sure if it was a recording issue that Ann sounded overpowered?? However, for me if Zeppelin gave them a standing ovation, I'm satisfied. I think Robert Plant always said he hated covers of that song, but afterwards went up to Ann Wilson and said she had done a good job.

Nobody plays like Bonzo, but for the 07 celebrations concert, Jason study his fathers drumming for all the songs. He said he didn’t know which ones they’d pick, so he does a pretty damn great job in his fathers place. I will always prefer Bonzo over any other drummer, my opinion he was the greatest.

Dude. First time visitor. If you’re “not sold” on Jason Bonham….(and why would you be with one performance?). I would STRONGLY suggest that you watch the “Led Zeppelin” Celebration Day O2 London concert from 2007….which was released as a DVD in 2012……it’s on KZbin. same year as this tribute, btw. Jason did a fantastic job. He’s a top-notch professional drummer….playing these days with Sammy Hagar, Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa…..If he weren’t top-grade, those guys wouldn’t have him. He’s not one of the best who ever lived, like his dad…but then, there are very few who reach the stratosphere in any field. So, if you’re looking for him to be his dad, then no. Nor do I think he equals Mike Portnoy or Danny Carey. But equal to other rock drummers like Anton Fig, or Steve Jordan, then definitely yes. Maybe even as good as Dave Grohl. Plus, he has his own Zeppelin tribute band, which I’ve seen live. And they’re GOOD!
