You reacted to Heart before, Barracuda from 1977.

[@bryanparker2925]

Now check out Gretchen Wilson with Alice In Chains “Barracuda” for Heart introduction

[@anthonyohaganart4496]

you reacted to Heart playing their song Alone, acoustic version live, you should do the original rock video for the same song as its totally different

[@Revenant77x]

Heart must listens "Barracuda, Magic Man, Crazy on You" just for a start. Heart has a very large and amazing discography.

[@linnburch9735]

I heartily agree. oops, no pun intended.

[@oldschoolfink3212]

And that is just a start. Their catalog is deep.

[@porkchopexpress2437]

One of the greatest voices in Rock and Roll history.. Ann Wilson.

[@jennhurl]

He has reacted to "Barracuda" & "Alone"

[@ScalaMari]

And Alone!!

[@davidtullis2810]

The drummer is the son of Lead Zeppelins late drummer John Bonham. John often wore a boller hat during performances. John and Robert Plant were best friends that is why you see him cry during this performance

[@LordGrokken]

Robert is Jason's Godfather as well, and he'd been told by Jason that due to previous commitments he would not be able to attend. That was also John Bonham's drum kit.

[@huchlvr]

Also Jason lost his father at a young age and Robert lost his son at a young age. Aft John died, Robert became a second father to Jason.

[@e.jamesshepard7183]

Who is this "LEAD "Zeppelin you mentioned David ? I know who Led Zeppelin is, don't know who those Lead guys are🤣

[@1crazyblondie]

Wow!! That's so awesome!! Thanks so much for adding that info on the drummer! I wondered who it was and you can see it how much it affected him playing that song!! 🤘🏻💕✌🏻🎶

[@janfitzgerald3615]

Ann Wilson was 62 and her sister Nancy was 58 when they performed this tribute. Her voice has really held up. I believe you’ve reacted to them previously, when they first started in the 70’s, Alone, Barracuda, Crazy on You, These Dreams, where some of their early hits.

[@somersetcace1]

The thing that impressed me most about this performance is that they obviously took great lengths to do it justice. An entire choir, half an orchestra, Jason Bonham on drums, Ann and Nancy and lets not forget the gonads on Shane Fontayne to stand out there in from of Page himself and play that solo. It also touched me on an emotional level to see them being honored in that way, with the president and half of Washington rocking out to it, after all the crap Led Zeppelin took back in the day from many a politician in Washington.

[@lakecrazy]

only thing to add is there were other performances of Led Zeppelin music.. someone should review those.

[@somersetcace1]

@@lakecrazy Oh yeah, Foo Fighters, Kid Rock, and Lenny Kravitz I believe.

[@toddstevens13]

Would of been better without all the non trappings that were never part of the song. When Ann rips the vocals at the end, all the damn choir people needed to shut the hell up. Sad over kill. Zep never needed a choir of dozens, and neither did these core musicians.

[@somersetcace1]

@@toddstevens13 Ehh, it may of been a tad over the top, but I'd say that's a bit overly critical. I get what you're saying though.

[@fridaylong2812]

Thank You! You are the only one besides me I have ever heard express amazement at the courage it took to play guitar on this when Led Zeppelin was in the audience!

[@jamiemacdonald436]

Hands down my biggest complaint with this rendition is that I wasn't there to witness it live! What an amazing performance, Ann Wilson is such a special talent.

[@tvgator1]

A comparison isn’t necessary; this is a TRIBUTE to Led Zeppelin with Heart honoring them. It’s just a thank you performance.

[@topherwhite370]

Heart was CHOSEN to salute Led Zepplin with their most iconic song. Dude, Ann Wilson is amazing. They have so much catalog to check out, but “Black on Black” will blow you away.

[@venomdust1]

I am a hard core zep fan and my eyes watered up the first time a saw this . Ann and Nancy you have joined the gods of rock n roll So much respect to you

[@Ashwgun]

yeah if you have not heard Heart, do yourself a favor and look up their catalog. Ann and Nancy Wilson are remarkable performers!

[@Rosiepooh75]

This was a tribute to Led Zeppelin, and you can see their reaction as the shots span to them multiple times. Incredible version. Alone is my recommendation for the next one by Heart. Ann Wilson is an amazing vocalist, Nancy Wilson also sings and plays the guitar on their songs...

[@breakdancinfool]

I thought this was THE most perfect, most electric version of Stairway ever performed! The absolute PINNACLE of its form!

[@tracybeetem3824]

Heart are rock goddesses, Alone is a power ballad I would suggest.

[@rustyshackleford6906]

I once saw this video described as "Rock legends playing a cover of the most popular song of rock gods, in front of those rock gods...and nailing it" And I think that is pretty accurate.

[@generic53]

Ann is LEGEND.

[@Sweet.Creature]

Heart is an Amazing band from the 70's and we're at the height of their success all thru the 80's.. Lead singer Ann Wilson, in my opinion was/is the #1 female rock vocalist even to this day! She's got some pipes on her.. She was 62 when she did this tribute and still sounded like she did.. Absolutely killed it!! 💕♥️ I love her 🥰🔥

[@Fuphyter]

This is the best cover of any song....EVER

[@donaldgilbreath4200]

Anne Wilson is known to be one of the greatest singers of our time. I have been a huge fan of Heart since the 80's.

[@virginiachase3530]

If you watch Robert Plants reaction when she signs "to be a rock and not to roll" he tears up. Best compliment ever.

[@josephbishop3590]

MrLBoyd... thanks for your reaction and response to an amazing performance of one of, if not THE MOST, iconic rock compositions ever. It seems only fitting that Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart perform the tribute. Ann recalls being heavily influenced by Zeppelin's IV album and Heart often perform Zeppelin songs during their concerts. But were surprised when asked to cover "Stairway". Ann expected something else. Maybe ROCK AND ROLL or BATTLE OF EVERMORE. But 'Stairway' is Zeppelin's anthem, almost 'holy' she recalls. With little more than 45 minutes rehearsal and trying to keep their appearance on the tribute stage a 'surprise' for the honorees (Ann bumped into John Paul Jones, I think, the night before and kind of clumsily replied 'some sort of concert'), Ann and Nancy both kinda took a deep breath and told each other to ignore the distractions and focus on the lyrics. They did. And killed.

[@GamingWithGeo]

You've listened to Heart twice previously on this channel: Alone, and Barracuda. They still have a nice catalog of songs to go through however.

[@staceymcmanus9870]

One of the best female vocalists, her voice can do amazing things.

[@geoffsimpkins7650]

Heart has been around a loooooong time. Huge in late’70’s. Magic Man, Crazy on You, Barracuda. Both sisters can sing.

[@danil530]

One of the best live performances ever f a classic song ever! Yo-yo need to watch the video. Heart is amazing.

[@RyanHeafner]

Heart’s cover of Kashmir is a must watch

[@miccilamb6735]

Ann plays the oboe BEAUTIFULLY❤️

[@musicairplanes4884]

An iconic cover that is right up there with Joe Cockers A Little Help From My Friends at Woodstock.

[@robertodimarco8079]

A magic moment in music history. Period

[@geoffsullivan7902]

Heart- these sisters are a rabbit hole worth visiting for sure. ❤️🎼🎶❤️

[@mrb4749]

I'm listening to music over 60 years this is one of the greatest performances ever. Ann Wilson is one of the greatest singers ever and still performing. My suggestions Crazy on You, Barracuda, Alone and Never.

[@scottboyd9383]

Alone is my absolute favorite heart song and really shows the power of Anns voice

[@chrisklema9992]

Heart respect Zeplin and its easy to see in this performance. They gave it everything it needed.

[@christianemmler6496]

there is no way, that there ever can be a better hommage to this song

[@jennifermorris6848]

You absolutely must discover Heart. These sisters still rock.

[@tonybarletta1281]

When the greatest female band plays the greatest song written by the greatest band ever..... Brilliant!!!!

[@sherinelson2890]

Imagine being Led Zeppelin, sitting there knowing this will be covered and cringing. Then imagine being them and being honored by this? Absolutely the best cover of ever!!!!!

[@itsmetara3773]

I think this performance was one of the most beautiful pieces of art I ever saw. Best live performance ever!

[@FreeCanadian76]

Now, keep in mind, when she sang this - she was 65. Ya; there are very few singers that maintain their vocal prowess in their later years. She is one of the best.

[@andersgranstrom7128]

Perfection - and feeling. Original drummer and legend John Bonham´s son, playing the drums... Ann´s voice, the guitar solo... Yep, perfection!

[@howardsmith4729]

This is a awesome performance honoring Led Zeplin

[@jacobblackmon5525]

Heart has many amazing songs of their own. Their classic 70s hit "Barracuda" is excellent. I am partial to some of their 80s hits, such as "These Dreams" "Alone" and "Never"

[@peppers1587]

One of the best rock performances of all time.

[@GobigredNEB]

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard this. I still get major goosebumps every single time period!

[@Starbuck-dr7yl]

MrLBoyd! Lovely! Just lovely! I love this performance. Heart, Ann & Nancy Wilson sisters. They are one of my fave classic rock bands. A lot of their work was inspired by Led Zeppelin which is why they were chosen to induct them or to present them with the Kennedy Center honor/performance. I think John Bonham’s son was playing drums. Heart is classic rock, their best. And a lot of 80’s mainstream hits, but their classic days are from the 70’s. My fave is Magic Man. Barracuda, and Crazy on You , Ann’s vocals are unbelievable. The softer side even with Dog & Butterfly. Yes Other band members come & gone through 50 yrs, the core are the two sisters. Ann on vocals & Nancy is guitar & background vocals. .

[@ellie.v9765]

Barracuda and Alone definitely showcase Heart's sound. Fantastic band - enjoy this rabbit hole, they are so amazing. Great reaction, love it ♥️🇨🇦

[@gregmullins6927]

This is a masterpiece of arrangement,the standard of the backup singers is extremely high,then hidden is the choir they don't appear until their vocals start,having Jason Bonham on the drums is quite special too,if you don't feel the intensity of this then you're not human!!,John,Robert and Jimmy were blown away.

[@glenaleksis4589]

That ending always gives me chills!!

[@dorindacunningham9452]

Ann Wilson is the Queen of rock and roll. She was 62 yrs when she sang this.

[@josephwalsh9285]

Heart ... seen them in Tampa in early 90s... phenomenal show great band...

[@fridaylong2812]

The singer is Ann Wilson, and the blond guitarist on the acoustic guitar is her sister Nancy, who can also sing! Their beautiful harmony is part of what makes this song, and others, sound so good.

[@joiewick187]

This cover was a masterpiece; the arrangement was brillant

[@willardwooten9582]

I grew up listening to Heart when they started in clubs in the Seattle area. This has been reacted to so many times and no one block the video but you.

[@jebaker6942]

It took great confidence and talent to do this in front of Led Zepplin themselves and they loved it you can tell by the look on their faces and to have John's son playing drums makes this epic. Ann and Nancy Wilson is also legendary.

[@eduardokarusky7210]

This cover is one of the best art humans ever achieve.

[@scottflatt9880]

I've seen Heart many times, they do a few Zeppelin covers live, a great band.

[@cindyturner8756]

I have seen Heart in Concert back on the day. They are amazing Some of my favorites are BARRACUDA, THESE DREAMS, CRAZY ON YOU, , and MAGIC MAN.

[@pathoward2940]

I got to see Heart "up close & personal" back in the mid-70's when they came to play at the Annual Aber Day Kegger here in Missoula Montana. So wonderful even without the thousands of kegs of draft beer that went down that day. God Bless the University of Montana!!!!

[@christinaalgate4899]

It's been 10 years this Christmas. Ann still looks and sounds beautiful at 72. Nancy is amazing in her own way at 68. They have their 50th Anniversary as Heart next year.Ann just released a new album at the end of April. She's on tour but had to cancel the rest of June due to her band mates have covid. Ann sometimes does this song on her setlist but Heart did it almost every concert in the summer of 2019. Heart was on tour in Florida at the time

[@mariamenegalli2321]

Ann Wilson one of the best female vocalists ever.. she was 62 years old when she performed. Legendary !

[@as7326]

This is AMAZING! Ann Wilson is still phenomenal!!

[@chantellecline6945]

So excited to see you reacting to this. I can't believe you haven't done a reaction to Heart. Now you will definitely have to. Some great songs are Baracuda, Magic Man, Straight on (which is my favorite), and Crazy On You. Now the performance, man I have watched this performance so many times and I still get teary-eyed. I love that Robert Plant gets emotional from the performance, the choir definitely brings it to another level, and lastly that high note that Ann brings towards the end where she just shreds it. All of it is perfection.

[@MsWarriordiva]

Heart was the only group Led Zeppelin approved of playing covers of their songs.

[@mulltothree4375]

This is one of my favorite live covers of all time. Heart Sisters with John Bonham on the drums is so amazing.

[@pcankar]

The Wilson sisters are AMAZING

[@tomhansen4576]

Heart is considered the first female hard rock band in the late 1970s from Seattle. They had a string of major hits and many of them are posted by others below. For many Heart fans they thought that Heart was being dissed by the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame because they were still performing over 30 years and still were not inducted. Finally, thanks to their fan base, thee were inducted in 2013, which was way overdue. But no other female rock singer had the power of Ann Wilson over their career. She was like a female Tom Jones when it came to sustained power. I am sure you have heard some of their songs like Barracuda, but did not know it was Heart.

[@jayman58016]

I've watched this at least a dozen times and it still gives me chills every time I see it

[@audreyjones610]

I watch this performance every Sunday morning and call it "going to church".

[@musicfreak611]

I'm pretty sure they got Bonzos (LZ Drummer) song to play with Heart for this tribute, amazing. I love seeing your reactions to new music, brings me joy!

[@llmllm]

can't believe you have never heard of Heart..one of the greatest rock bands ever!!..they were doing a tribute to Led Zeppelin..no other band could of done it besides Heart..

This is perfection IMHO.

[@kathyshaw3253]

So many performances at Kennedy Centre honour artists. Adam Lambert does Cher tribute of her song Believe. A must watch!!

[@QUINCYGIRL]

I love Heart! Ann Wilson has a fantastic voice. You need to listen to some of these songs posted below.. She really is awesome!!

[@Sicarnus]

To think that this was 40+ years into their career. Barracuda and Crazy on you are absolutely musts. Anne's voice is incredible

[@totalityofscripture1001]

Any Kennedy Center Honors performance is going to be mind-blowing. A favorite of mine is Pentatonix doing "That Thing You Do" for Tom Hanks's induction.

[@jasonluke6364]

Ann Wilson has a lot of soul to her voice

[@colleenmahony8803]

This one never gets old. ♥️

[@lazaruslong8092]

One of my favorite bands, Ann and Nancy Wilson. My favorite Heart song is Alone. Like this performance, Ann is the lead singer, as she is on most songs, like Barracuda. For a change of pace, try the song These Dreams, live in Seattle. It has Nancy singing lead and is acoustic.
