HEART - Stairway to Heaven (Live at Kennedy Center Honors) [FULL VERSION] | REACTION

[@RonaldCanfield-m2r]

So awesome, Shawn; you are the first reactor who was unfortunately introduced to the chopped-version and went back to hear the FULL version. Bravo!!

[@user-ur1jp9uv6j]

this was a truly great honoring of Led Zeppelin .

[@kengunter6903]

This performance is extraordinary!!!!

[@StuartBiliack]

Jason Bonham, Bonzo's son, is playing drums, and the chorus at the end are all wearing bowler hats, as is Jason, in honor of Bonzo, who favored them. Seeing the tears in Plant's eyes was really special.

[@yelljal2764]

The way Jason looks up right before he finishes his solo... gets me every time

[@mikefetterman6782]

You can see when the choir fills out the sound, and makes his words even holier, Robert almost starts crying from the heartfelt rendition of his lyrics sang to him.

[@magicbrownie1357]

I always thought he looked a little disinterested.

[@tonygallo2361]

no brother more like teary-eyed...@@magicbrownie1357

[@msfoodiediva]

No he was trying to hold back tears. He was very closer to Bonham and seeing Jason Bonham and choir wearing John's signature hat was bit overwhelming

[@dianedavies8291]

The guys had no idea that Jason Bonham was going to be playing. I cried like a baby. ✌️❤️🎶

[@bobshaw8319]

The greatest cover in the history of music

[@jbach4311]

Schawn, The Greatest Production EVER!!! Thanks for Getting the full Version!! They all deserve it!!! STANDING OVATION!!!

[@Grateful_Dad_54]

If you can bring Robert Plant to tears AND get the world's best living cellist to rock out in his seat you know you've done well.

[@christopherone1]

Yo Yo feelin'' that in his soul.

[@graciezundt4201]

And don't forget about Bonnie Raitt rocking out too.😊

[@jlocke78759]

The other performances honoring Led Zeppelin were Foo Fighters, playing "Black Dog" and "Rock 'N Roll". Kid Rock performed a medley of “Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You” and “Ramble On". And Lenny Kravitz sang “Whole Lotta Love”. Heart gave the wrap-up song. Jack Black introduced the segment. Other honorees that night were ballerina Natalia Makarova, actor Dustin Hoffman, comedian and late-night host David Letterman, and bluesman Buddy Guy. At one point during the Heart performance, you see Bonnie Raitt rockin' in the audience. She performed earlier in the Buddy Guy segment.

[@judydubiel]

There is something about this performance for sure !!❤

[@markdecker6190]

Shout out to lead guitarist Shane Fontayne, who's been at it since the 1970s, most notably having played on Bruce Springsteen's "Other Band" tour (a few years after he disbanded the E-Street band). I also really enjoy watching Nancy whenever she plays and the way she puts her all into it.

[@tcanfield]

Thanks for mentioning Shane. I just finished looking him up myself, never knowing his name after seeing this a bunch of times. Given the pivotal part of the song I knew he must have had quite a strong background .

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

When Robert gets those tears, it gets me every time.

[@garya7893]

I am almost 60 and it still hits me And most will say its not their fav Zep tune But this is perfection

[@dksweet1]

Watched it so many times, and it always makes me emotional. Truly amazing.

[@sammcbride2149]

One of the most appropriate names of all time for a particular band: Heart.

[@bryanCJC2105]

Every time I see this performance, it makes me cry. It's just so good and infused with so much emotion and meaning.

[@christopherone1]

when you've got Yo-Yo Ma the renowned cellist composer rocking out in the audience. I mean, imagine playing that solo in front of the GOAT James Patrick Page. BRAVO.

[@bubsmomma]

In this version you hear Ann's long note way better. Whichever version I listen to chills every time. Hope every LZ fan sees this.

[@dolfinpt]

Hey Shawn! I Love your response!! And I agree that performance is Very Special and You Can Feel It! Can you imagine being there!? Woot!✌️❤️ I’ve watched it many times and Love it each time!

[@thehonestman26]

I'm so glad you got to watch the full version. Not only for the edited parts, but the audio is better as well. And don't be surprised that it hit you the second time. It's hit me over 100 times and counting. It's emotional because you can see and feel what they put into it. Even look at Nancy at 7:26 on your video. Everyone focuses on Anne of course, but if you see Nancy, she's all in. I love it. They gave it everything they had. Brilliant performance. Can't see it enough.

[@billboyd9028]

It takes Rock Goddesses to pay proper tribute to Rock Gods...

[@markmurphy558]

You have no idea how many times I have heard this song (the LZ version). This was in regular rotation on rock stations for at least 20 years. It is like jingle bells, I know every note by heart.

[@clifton8929]

Thanks, Shawn, for being so understanding, kind, and considerate of subscribers/patrons who sometimes request a different version of a song. One of your channel's best parts is spending time with the special friend in your life who listens to your opinion. This Stairway to Heaven reaction is always worth watching again. Your hard work is greatly appreciated.

[@dagmar.6954]

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", "Barracuda", "What About Love", "Never", "Dog & Butterfly", "These Dreams", "Alone" etc.

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

I. AM. SO. IMPRESSED!!! You wouldn’t BELIEVE how many reactors have watched the shortened version of this performance, and NOT ONE of them ever bothered to go back and watch the full thing. (That’s not really surprising, tho… The same is true when they accidentally watch a shortened version of Queen’s famous set at 1985 Live Aid: NO ONE bothers to revisit and see what they missed.) So, this is AWESOME, Thank You! (It’s understandable that this time might be more emotional, cuz you’re seeing the raw performance w/o the hydrogenized editing.)😄

[@CatherinePearl100]

I’ve seen this I don’t know how many times in the three years since I discovered it, and it still gives me goosebumps, every single time. It’s the best cover I’ve ever seen or heard.

[@subwaygoddess1]

Every time I hear this, I want to yell OH YEAH!!! I get teary. Nobody could've done this honor as well as this!

[@jessicalee7119]

I've listened to this so many times and I STILL get teary eyed for so many reasons every time I hear it! It's a FORCE of Raw Emotion. Love that you feel the same things, Shawn! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@sandrafazackerley9526]

No matter how many times i hear/see this it moves me so so much. Thank you for revisiting this amazing banger. Cheers & Peace Out ✌️ ❤

[@dianegardner7210]

I cry every time I see this-the profound impact of the arts and things to be treasured

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Way to be brother Man! ❤

[@jodyjackson5475]

It’s incredible every time ❤

[@kurtl3011]

Spectacular performance. Glad you got to see the full version. Whomever felt the need to create an edited version was seriously misguided.

[@terridostal1348]

You never get tired of hearing this and it gets you every time

[@karenmandeville7116]

this one cuts off Jason Bonham's introduction.

[@madmanasaurusRex]

Great reaction. Great T-shirt too 😊

[@flubblert]

Now THAT'S what you call a tribute!! 🫡

[@iraidaacevedo3723]

Loved this♥️ heartfelt reaction♥️♥️

[@harrietmiller3982]

This gets me each and every time💯🎶‼️

[@hopeklemann1]

don't worry Sean I've seen this probably a hundred times and I cry every time

[@KeithHoward-qw9nf]

You should have gotten the introduction at the beginning introducing Bono son playing drums. Rest in peace Bond

[@intothesunset3]

Amazing performance💖

[@tapduff]

Love the full version! I get chills every time I watch it!

[@KJ-4321]

You really are so amazing Shawn! Thank you for doing this again!!!! 😀 You’re so conscientious! I never knew that there was a shortened version…. I don’t understand why anyone would shorten this masterpiece to begin with???? Anyway… THANK YOU!!!!! 🤠

[@joshuadeshaies7266]

Great tribute to the GOATS! also the drummer was Jason , the son of John BONHAM.

[@AirDOGGe]

Glad you came back. Looking forward to this. 2nd time, 20th time, I can never hear it enough times. Seeing Plant almost in tears is so wonderfully moving.

[@kathyrizzi8754]

I liked Hart’s version almost the same as Robert Plants voice, this was great!👍👏👏👏💜

[@dupersuper6516]

Finally someone goes back for the full version. I always tap out when i see that logo at the bottom of the screen 'aww it's the chopped one' so this was awesome 👌

[@hopeklemann1]

thank you for what you do you're my favorite reactor

[@billwoodruff9100]

Awesome of you to be open enough to go back and listen to the full version. I won't even watch reactors who do the chopped up version. Liked and subscribed and notification on!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I am near the end of your reaction and my allergies have been acting up for a bit now during this, and I've seen it so many times but it always gets to me emotionally when I really get engaged with it, which is more likely to happen with someone who is sincerely reacting to it like you.

[@wentibbetts7833]

Good for you, reacting to a different version. Powerful performance.

[@graciezundt4201]

Robert Plant was asked about this performance by Huff Post. He said that the song no longer belonged to them. It belonged to the stratosphere.

[@magicbrownie1357]

I always felt this had some strong Tolkien influence to it. For some reason I can't picture this song being about anyone but Galadriel. Probably not accurate, but that's how I like to picture it.

[@michaelpitonak3396]

Shawn, when you did your first reaction to the shorter version, I stated that it was your best reaction to date. Dude, you just topped it! Great reaction to a great video.

[@tonygallo2361]

i feel ya brother

[@markb3186]

Have you done the 1973 Madison square garden WHOLE LOTTA LOVE MEDLY ENDING OF THE SHOW?? I THINK IT 13 MIN LONG THE VIDEO IS JAW DROPPING WITH IMPROVE AND ELECTRICITY UNMATCHED!! ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES EVER

[@shaykosovac8722]

Agreed 💯

[@stratcat3216]

Aww man you got the short edited version. I highly suggest the full version when you get some time on your own.

[@melissakhalar1842]

❤❤❤❤

[@mytiggertat]

In a perfect world, this cover of Heart's version of Stairway To Heaven would have not been completely chopped up. You would have then seen #1 - The introduction of Jason Bonham, Robert Plant's shock and reaction to Jason playing and Jason's reaction to Plant's reaction (Jason lied and told Plant that he was booked elsewhere when Plant invited Jason was invited to attend this honor). #2 -The guitiar solo in the middle done by Shane Fontayne was chopped in half. #3 - The reaction by Bonnie Rait in the third section- she was nearly jumping out of her chair in the third section. #4 - Robert Plant starting to cry toward the end of the song and Jimmy Page's pure joy in seeing the full choir sing. #5 - After the end of the song, seeing, Jason, Ann, Nancy, JPJ, Plant and Page send love back to eachother. Ive only seen most of this cover once, reviewed by Dicon Dissectional 3 years ago which is still on KZbin. This one, you will see Shane's full guitar solo at least. I think the video itself was taken down off KZbin.

[@roberteatwell6827]

I believe I criticsed your original video. Kudos to you for reacting to the comments and doing the correct version. Well done mate.

[@bofusnco]

In my opinion, NOT the FULL version. It should have the introduction of Jason Bonham AND the Wilson sisters It's okay Shawn, I still tear up when I watch this

[@obiwanbenobi4943]

I'll always watch this one again. :) But isn't there another version where RP acknowledges JB? Maybe that happens in this one someplace... Ah, ok, that's at the end. :)

[@hopeklemann1]

you're a good man for trying so hard

[@johnthegreek5836]

If anyone can do a great cover of this song is Heart especially Ann’s vocals

[@joebarresi9537]

Soul scraping 😢

[@xJRx77]

I'm not a fan of Zeppelin covers..... but this is phenomenal. I will tear up every time I see Jason look up in tribute to his Dad.

[@famat161]

Nice cover.

[@robbob5302]

That awkward moment when….. The president and First Lady realize they are not the VIPs in the audience tonight.

Nothing touch's the original studio version. Nothing.
