I think that was probably the best reaction I've seen to this tribute! And what made it even more impactful was the fact that you were already familiar with the magic and power of the original studio recording, Too often, I see reactors listening to misguided voices in the comment section that tell them to watch the live MSG performance of Stairway, then the live Heart cover version, and never, ever hear the original studio masterpiece. There are too many reactors on KZfaq that meet that exact description to even mention. I am so glad that you did it right! Keep up the great work! Peace

I've probably seen this particular video 100 times and I cry every time.

Apparently Jason had told the Zeppelin guys that he couldn't attend this event, as he had a prior commitment. That's why Robert Plant jumps up and points at him so enthusiastically. They had no idea he would be a part of the tribute band. Robert and John Bonham had been friends and bandmates since before Zeppelin. 🤙😎

The black Bowler hats that Jason and the choir were wearing was a tribute to John Bonham, who was known for wearing a Bowler. 😎

Ann Wilson is one of the top female voices of the 20th century. She is unmatched at her craft. Fosho.

I would urge you to jump down the Heart rabbit hole a bit. "Magic Man" ... "Barricuda" ... "Crazy on You" ... "Straight On" ... "Dreamboat Annie". Definitely woth the trip. Anne is one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time ... and Nancy an absolute killer guitarist!!!

The members of Led Zeppelin asked Jason to join them and sit with them that night. Jason told me he couldn't make it because he had another engagement. THIS was that engagement. He wanted it to be a surprise.

This tribute always makes me tear up.❤😢

Jason is a most excellent drummer. He played his fathers kit with his fathers sticks with Jimmy, Robert and JPJ at the 2007 Celebration Day concert in London. You NEED to watch a clip from that show…it’s outstanding. Kashmir is the highlight but they did a two hour set. Jason has his own Zeppelin tribute band which is excellent. Saw them live last October, and they really COOKED. Jason is now Sammy Hagar’s drummer and tours with him. He has made his living as a professional drummer for decades and obviously is considered a top drummer. He is not his dad though. Nobody could be. Bonzo was something else. A monster drummer and a legend.

Your reaction of this is great - I've seen this several times and it never gets old. Nice to see it with you for your first time. Ann (vocals), Nancy, Jason, and all of the musicians (and choir) were completely in sync and it was a work of art.

The greatest tribute, by the Goddess of Rock, to the untouchable and greatest Rock band of all time. Led Zeppelin forever.

The greatest rock song of all time.

Dude you are wise beyond your years.

Jason Bonham has performed with the remaining members of Led Zeppelin multiple times, they love him like family. He's a respected drummer on his own, too and has done a lot of things.

They KILLED IT!!! I love this cover

Very well said bro. Robert was tearing up, he missed his buddy John BONHAM. The greatest tribute in history!! The GOATS were made proud!

Robert Plant is Jason’s godfather. Robert and John Bonham were best friends. When Robert’s son died, the Bonham’s were right there for Robert and his wife Maureen. They lived close by. John convinced Robert to stay in music and to stay in Zeppelin ( Robert was ready to leave music and become a teacher after his sons death). When John died, it ripped Robert apart. He still misses his friend.

Jason also played with Plant Page & JPJ, for the Celebration Concert, Jason said that was his dream come true. Jason studied & studied every song his dad played with the band, he said he didn’t know what songs they’d play for that concert. He wanted to play just like his dad, & not screw any songs up, & he did amazing. Yes Jason has a band, I sadly don’t know it’s name, but I’m sure you can look it up, he’s played drums since he was a toddler. His father was proud of him back then, he’d make him play for musician friends that came over, famous musicians.

If you noticed Jimmy Page was literally mouthing the notes on the guitar solo. I love it. Jason killed it and he is Robert's Godson ❤ Peace out ✌️ ☮️

This was an incredible performance. It really gave me chills watching the reaction of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page

This song was voted The Top Song of the 20th Century.

Yea, pretty special isn't it? I never tire watching this tribute. And emotional too. Plant and Bonzo were pretty tight b4 being in Zep, Plant is Jason's Godfather. He was asked to attend and declined to surprise them, hence why the pointing of drum sticks, Plant stands and points back. Jason toured with Heart and knows they cover a lot of LZ and are good too, he recommended them for Stairway. Ann was 62y when she belted that out, she's a Goddess all her own, Nancy too, always on her guitar. They are touring this year, all over the US, crazy. Glad you enjoyed, great reaction. ❤❤

There were several edits to the song in this version. You may want to seek out a longer version of this video. Your call.

BEST live tribute ever!!!!! Wonderful reaction. So glad to see someone from the younger generation enjoy our music 😍🤩

What an absolutely awesome cover of a classic masterpiece known throughout the civilized world. I still have my album with this, which I bought back when it was first released.

Jason was playing his dad's drum set and wearing his dad's bowler hat that he always wore.💔

Heart always does a set of 3 or 4 Zeppelin songs during their live shows. It's absolutely crazy how well they cover the Mighty Zep....

COMPLETELY MESMERIZING!!!! Please do a deep dive into Heart's catalog!! I promise you won't be disappointed!!🎶🎼🎵🎸🎹🎙🥁🎧🎤🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘💜

Great choice Great reaction. PEACE

Heart did a fantastic job with this song

One of the best songs, by one of the best bands, in one of the best covers of all times.

Have probably seen this at least 50 times and I cry every frickin time. If you get a chance to see Jason Bonham in concert...GO!!

You are so awesome ...I so appreciate you and your reactions so thoughtful and heartful.

Zeppelin Rocked the World! And this was an out of this world tribute! Cool reaction too!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Magic Man. I keep suggesting this Heart song ❤

Nice reaction. Thank you for recognizing great music

Led Zeppelin is friends with Ann & Nancy, & other then Led Zeppelin, this is the best I’ve heard this song done. Jason was about 10 when his father died, Plant is Jason’s godfather, plant & Bonham were friends from about 13 or 14. Yes Robert had invited Jason to be there, & Jason said he couldn’t make it. Plant Page & JPJ love Jason, but I think Plant has that exert bond. Plant may be more happy that Jason is there, & also being proud of him. I believe Jack Black introduces Led Zeppelin here, & he is so funny, he had begged to use Immigrant Song for his movie School Of Rock. Thank you & I’m glad you enjoyed it, great reaction.

Heart was the loudest concert I've been to and they were awesome.

Very emotional! I am a mess! Bro! I remember when this song first came out.

Wow, Jimi, and Wow, was only comment throughout this marvelous interprétation. But you too, by your simple words. Merci Monsieur, nice your expression in your comments. 🙏 Daniel Quebec

Please go down the Heart rabbit hole. There are diamonds down there……❤️🎼❤️

About 10 years ago, my daughter took me to a heart concert in San Francisco, She got really good seats close to the stage so before the show started, I was standing up the leaning against the stage, talking to who I thought was a really nice roadie who like to talk about the drums since I’m a drummer. It turned out to be Jason Bonham. 😁. Super cool dude I had no idea his band was opening up for Heart He had a band called Bonham in the late 80s early 90s right now. I think he’s playing with Sammy Hagar , Joe Satriani & Michael, Anthony in Chicken Foot.

Led zeppelin live celebration day Kashmir

Heart does a great cover of Kashmir and Black Dogs live also. Anne was 62 yrs. old singing at this tribute.

Check out the whole tribute. It was amazing

I'm going to see Heart the end of this month. Soooo looking forward to seeing them again.

The whole show that this song closed out was really great. If you have some free time, check it out.

'Barracuda' by Heart is their most famous song, really one of the all time best rock songs. You actually may recognize some of it since it's been used in video games & many movies/tv shows. Do the video called 'Heart-Barracuda (1977). It's a performance but the audio is studio version, so you can get the best sound & watch them perform, too.

Young man i take my hat off to you opening your eyes to fantastic music I would love you to react to ALBERT HALL 1970 YOU SHOOK ME BABE Think you might like it Awesome reaction

You should check out Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" which they performed with Jason Bonham on the drums. Robert, Jimmy and John Paul were around this age but it's a great live video.

Love You, MD

I love your reactions. You're very knowledgeable for your age and I love it!

Seen it so many times and it's always great. This is one of the shorter edits and also Ann's vocals are bit pared back here. The longer edits are definitely better. It builds as it should and that's really what the song needs. This one comes at you a bit too fast and there's a heck of a lot being stripped out.

Well said my friend.

It is a great tribute but nothing beats the original, I do really like the fact that Jason Bonham is playing drums on his father's kit wearing his father's bowler hat. And there was not a better band to make this tribute seeing that heart pattern themselves after Led Zeppelin. I'm glad that the three remaining members of Led Zeppelin got to be honored like this and have this tribute for them. You should watch the whole honors because Buddy Guy was also well honored that evening.

Such a heartfelt tribute ❤

Well, I'll be darned. Another reactor had said there were parts missing, so I brought up lyrics on my phone while I watched this on my tablet, and lol and behold - he was right. Two complete verses are missing. And I'm sure I've heard the complete song before. I'm going to watch the actual Kennedy Center performance and get back to my comment here.... Edit: It wasn't just this particular video that was shortened, but they shortened the whole performance by two verses. ... "And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune....." and "If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now....." Those two verses Are indeed missing. It's still a magnificent performance, but it sure took a long enough for me to catch it, Heaven knows how many times I've watched this, but there it is...

Great word's, your reaction and appreciation of what is going on here is quality 👏

Heart has several Led Zeppelin covers on KZfaq. My favorite is their version of "Battle of Evermore" but they are all good.

Your reaction to this was awesome and genuine. I just found your channel and you just got another sub.

That is one of my Songs why i never listen to Rap / Hippel Hoppel ,Techno or boring Popmusic , my start as a Metalhead was 1980 with 13 years , that is the Power my Heavy Metal Music , today i'm an 56 years old Metalhead with still long hair

The honorees at the Kennedy Center don’t know who is playing in advance. Jason Bonham showing up was a surprise to them, as were Heart.

proud of you , dude --you're doing a great job!!😊

I'm getting weepy watching the original members, Jason and your FACE.

Jason has an amazing album out called In the Name of My Father. Check him out - great drummer!! ❤

OMG **LUV** This is SO **Beautiful** all around to **MyBeautifulJimmyPageMagicalMusicalGeniusWizardBabe** seemingly mouthing like "Very good" in approval of the guy doing the iconic **Guitar** part to him just YAY doing his iconic to me **One Shoulder Up Lean To One Side Laugh & Smile** cutie thingie that he always does gawd Mmm ha **Sigh** **Swoon** **Melt** freakin **Luvit** sucha **Babe** to course **MyBelovedRobertPlant** tryin to hold back tears & not being able to cuz i am sure a ton of **Memories** are rushing at him & course the **Luv** he had for his **Best Mate** **John Henry Bonham** & seeing his **Godson** & the son of **Bonzo** playing just had to be so very **Overwhelming** & **BitterSweet** just WoW a lot happening here tis an **Amazing Tribute**

For me, the covers are just infinitely better. This, Stanley Jordan’s cover of stairway to Heaven and Prince’s cover of whole Lotta love, absolutely brilliant.

👍

Great reaction !! Please do GRETCHEN WILSON cover of HEARTS BARRACUDA with ALICE AND CHAINS LIVE

Ann is the vocalist and Nancy is the guitarist. You really need to check out their 70's song list. They have incredible music from that era and you will be blown away about how good they really were back before the 80's came along. Try to do those reactions because there a quite a few. They really were the female version of Led Zeppelin before the 80's came along and they were sort of forced into that style of music. The 70's songs were more pure and beautiful in my opinion .

JUST FYI... This is NOT HEART'S FULL PERFORMANCE. (This video is a couple minutes shorter; it was edited for broadcasting on TV) The full performance is SO. MUCH. BETTER. than this one! It's easy to find the other one on YT, just look for one that says FULL Performance in the heading.

Robert plant is Jason Bonham's godfather.

When in doubt, choose the longest version. Why not? It changes the flow of this song to do the shorter version. Why do you reacters do this? You got a bus to catch or something?
