Jason Bonham is the son the late John Bonham John Bonham taught his son Jason to play the drums at a very young age and not only did Jason Bonham was wearing his dad's hat but he also was playing his dad's drums. The sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson did a great job, but the the sisters,Jason Bonham and the rest of Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones had dinner with the Obamas at the white house, and the Obamas said that they were worried about it because of their wild ways, but they said they stayed up all night having a great time and everyone was very polite. They were shocked lol 😆.much love to you and your family 💕. Oh and by the way they all stayed the night in the white house and made plans to see each other again how cool 😎is that.much love 💘💙❤Brandi Modrak 💕💙

IN order to argue with your point I would have to point to a band who did a better cover of that song. I just can't do it. So I agree, Heart knocked it out of the park. And they did it under tremendous pressure, they had 1 chance to do it right or blow it completely. It as live. There was no 'do over' option. Succeed or fail were the options. They brought it all and made this a cover we watch over and over again. Love the sisters and their contribution to Rock . This was just one more example of the talent they bring, when facing a live audience. Bravo.

I saw that interview. I'm not so sure he was being totally honest there. I think Jason being there was a huge part of it, but when that last curtain raised and the full choir joined in there was a visible reaction. However, that's okay. It's Plant. He can be guarded about it if he wants. As you said he doesn't like any covers of Stairway, so for him to say "they did a good job" is enough.

This was the Kennedy Center Honors, a very important honor for people in entertainment who have made a significant contribution to the arts. The drummer is Jason Bonham, the son of Led Zeppelin’s original drummer who passed away when Jason was very young. He’s wearing his dad’s signature bowler hat and playing his drum kit.

What is extra special is that John Bonham was Robert Plants best friend and after his passing the band was never the same. Plant was moved to tears this evening seeing his best friend and band mates son playing on stage with his dads hat on. Near the end of the song Jason looked up as to say Dad this was for you!

I had tickets to they’re concert in Philly when John died and that was all she wrote. At 13 was sooo close to seeing Led Zep perform. Total heartbreak. Love this damn video. Every time I get sucked into a reaction I rewatch the 50 others I’ve watched again. F**k my laundry and damn dishes it can wait until tomorrow. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼💜💜

Fun fact; the drummer with the derby, Jason Bonham, is the son of Led Zeppelin's drummer John Bonham, who died a long time ago. That moment he looks up, he's definitely looking to his dad.

I for one do think exactly that, best cover of any song ever. Even after probably 20 times still get goose bumps and hit in the feels...its perfection musically, vocally and the history it's all some much more that a cover song.

Ann has been singing this since it came out... and, for me, I prefer her vocals to even Plant's - sacrilege, I know - but I've loved Ann's voice since the 70s, even when she speaks I get the goosebumps!

When Ann belted out "too be a rock and not to roll" and Robert Plant (Led Zep's singer) looked on in admiration, bewilderment and tears in his eyes, you know that this was one of the classic vocal deliveries of our time. Such power and precision. She killed it. 100%. The look on Jimmy Page's face right after she said that line is one of admiration and satisfaction. To see a band that is held in such high esteem for decades look so impressed, speaks volumes. The music of Led Zeppelin will never be copied or maybe never equalled but the sisters Ann and Nancy and the band played their hearts out (pun intended - as they were the main players in the band Heart) and played a legendary performance of the song of all songs.

There is a beautiful amphitheater right on the Potomac River, right at the VERY base of ALL of the DC Monuments (Vietnam, WW2, Korea, Lincoln monument) that is called the "Kennedy Center" and in that gorgeous white building (overhanging Rock Creek Pkwy) there's a yearly celebration where INSANLY INFLUENTIAL artists are HONORED by being recognized as Kennedy Recipients' of this life-long achievement to music, culture, theatre, arts and SO SO FUCKING SO SO MUCH more.... this silly little get-together with a rainbow ribbon, is a HUGE achievement for our nation!!! STop here and read that whole damn thing 4x time more, then know that we enjoy, celebrate and hold these talented people SO VERY FUCKING HIGH above the crowd to THANK THEM for their amazing contribution to our lives.... THAT is the Kennedy Center Honors!

If you're going to listen to cover of Stairway, this is it. Can you imagine the pressure to play this "sacred cow" song for the 3 remaining members of Led Zeppelin? I noticed Yo Yo Ma, The Obamas, Bonnie Raitt, Stephen Colbert were in the audience, and John Bonham's son, Jason was on the drums.

Heart & Led - Zeppelin are my two favorite bands I’ve been privileged to see Heart 4 different times live and I’ve always left amazed! Ann & Nancy Wilson are incredible musicians and very talented as well Ann can sing her ass off and Nancy can play the guitar better than most guys. If Heart ever comes to your guys neck of the woods make sure and go see them you wouldn’t be disappointed.

I've seen this performance more times that I can count. Ann Wilson absolutely destroyed it. The whole show included four covers by the Foo Fighters (Rock and Roll), Kid Rock (Ramble On), Lenny Kravitz (Whole Lotta Love) and this one, which was the best of the bunch. They all did well. Kravitz killed it, as well. Jack Black did an excellent and funny intro to the whole thing. Worth checking out one or all of the performances. Cheers!
