I mean you’re standing in front of rock gods performing their song in front of the president and you nail it. Amazing job Lenny Kravitz.

[@rashonnahall1448]

Anyone who listens to Lenny has unique taste in music.I'm one of them!!!🆒🖤

[@newtnewt3491]

Lenny and Craig owned this moment.

[@terryhladunhladunterry3360]

When Led Zeppelin gives a standing ovation to a Led Zeppelin performance, you know you've nailed it!

[@xavierrogerprincemampouya7856]

true

[@deboisblanc]

He slays this song, probably one of the best Kennedy Honors shows ever

[@lizzie6433]

@deboisblanc - Great performance. Watch Adam Lambert (frontman for Queen) honor Cher at Kennedy Center. He also sang this song on American Idol.

[@TMthe33rd]

​and don't forget Ann and Nancy Wilson closing it on a high note with "Stairway to Heaven"

Lenny wasn't nervous or concerned what the originals thought because he IS Lenny ! And he is an incredible performer !!!

This is why we should always pay tribute to people when they're still alive. The joy and the emotion on their faces are priceless.

He absolutely rips the roof off the place. My favourite moment has to be Robert sat looking like "we need to do something together, brother"

[@tolerance2024]

Robert opened for Lenny, and bitched him out...1992? They already had a relationship, I read President and First Lady MOUTHING words...AWESOME

Lenny Kravitz is one of the coolest dudes alive.

[@mikedrake9572]

You have got that right ! Lenny Kravitz has one of the greatest voices in rock and he shows it to the whole world in this video !I saw it live on PBS and I was blown away! As good as Robert Plant is, I think Lenny Kravitz is just as good!

[@graphccfx]

@Dianne Lo love Lenny Kravitz! Perfect !!!

[@maoriwarrior1651]

Yeah I would say Lenny and Bryan Adams are probably the last original rockstars who came into the scene around the 80s

[@joaoreis5050]

My man just made a savagery out of those solos!! In a way it sounded to me as I would imagine a version of this song played by Hendrix

[@ShawnFaherty]

The absolute best. I can't believe how Lenny killed this. Best of the night for me. Nothing compares except the energy that made this song in the first place.

[@kjs3461]

Best Led Zep cover EVER!! I can't stop listening to it!!

[@alenabazovski]

I think that as well.

[@diegojorda2600]

the double guitar adds so much.

[@sheens2023]

Agreed. I wish he would have recorded it for Apple Music like heart did. Keep coming back to this multiple times per day as it’s addicting.

@3:15 you can see Tracy Chapman, one of my favourite singer-songwriters. Her lyricism is full of heart and meaning. Love her to bits. 💜 And it's cool to know that she loves some good ol' rock and roll.

[@SkyGuyXD]

Kravitz performing Whole Lotta Love. Perfect choice. Brilliant. Badass guitarrist and drummer he has with him, too.

[@roniquebreauxjordan1302]

Absolutely

[@charleswilliams8248]

Yeah man! They burned it up!

[@BladeHudson]

Drummer is Kenny Arnoff (original John Mellencamp drummer turned into a hired gun) he drums for everyone now. Check out his resume, you'd be impressed.

[@DonnaErdman-w8g]

He killed it!!

[@earthrot666]

For some reason my favorite thing about this entire performance is Plant's face at 3:04. Like this mischievous smile and knowing that Kravitz nailed it. Also this song is literally just sex haha

[@timjones9273]

...that and Bonnie Raitt is feeling it

[@ruthy102]

Alot more than sex,real artistry as only Lenny can!

[@guilhermino86]

Yessss! Plant,s little approval grin

[@IZZY300577]

I loved Craig Ross' solo, amazing!

[@timothymidgett9730]

Craig Ross is a great guitarist, playing since the age of 8 years old, research his BIO and you will see. Lenny as usual nails it on vocals and is NOT lip syncing unlike so many of today's modern "singers". Love this real music, we need more of it!!!!!!!!!!!
