[@wm.patrickmilford4589]

The Bowler hat was a trademark of the late John "Bonzo" Bonham the original drummer. His son performed with the remaining members and he was performing with Heart to honor them. He kept it a secret from them, which was a total surprise to them. That's why they were crying.

[@joeday4293]

The drummer is Jason Bonham. His dad was Led Zeppelin's Drummer John Bonham. The hats were a tribute to John, because he was famous for wearing Bowler hats like his son is wearing, for performances. A 'tip of the hat' shall we say, since we lost John in 1980.

[@TTKayers]

You should also know Led Zeppelin said only Heart could do justice to Stairway To Heaven.

[@rollomaughfling380]

04:08 Ann's not singing lower. The original song was in A minor, Heart are doing it in A minor. It's just that instruments (like the voice) of higher *timbre* generally sound fuller in their lower *pitch* ranges. In other words, if you played the same notes on the higher register of a baritone sax it sounds thinner and more abrasive compared with the same notes on an alto sax. Same would go for 'cello vs violin, etc. People often confuse timbre with pitch-hell, even scientists often do it. This is why Karen Carpenter, once she was convinced her voice sounded better in its lower register and started cranking out hits, used to joke: "The money's in the basement."

Stanley Kubrick directed a movie based on a book called "A Clockwork Orange." This was an X rated film at the time because of the violence, and the English thugs in the movie dressed in white jumpsuits (boiler repair uniforms - also worn by Pete Townsend in the early seventies when he grew tired of stage costumes) and they also wore "bowler hats" which were normally associated with English Conservatives. Bonham loved the film so much he adopted the boiler suit and the bowler hat on stage.

[@bob2161]

That is a very interesting bit of knowledge. When I was in high school, many years ago, I took a class called "Production". (It was the only title the instructor could come up with.) We learned what was involved in making TV, Theatrical, and Cinematic productions. For my final that year, I studied Kubrick, and in particular, Clockwork Orange. And wrote a paper on the unique and inventive production techniques that Stanley imployeed and/or invented to make that movie. The hardest part of the whole process was getting my hands on a copy of the movie. It had not yet been released on VHS. I ended up paying $75 for a bootleg copy. (That was ½ a weeks pay for me at the time.) I watched, and rewatched that movie so many times that I knew all the lines. (I was prone to quoting lines randomly for the next year or so.) I got a very good mark for my project. I think mainly because the instructor was "weirded out" by my unusual subject choice.
