The sound engineer, at his console, was onstage, front and center, as a member of the quite eclectic mix of musicians, vocalists, and various sound-makers. It stuck-out and stuck-with me as feeling unique. Not hidden in the pit, not all dark and shrouded, but dressed and lit, performing with the sounds throughout the show. Alas, memory... may have been the Koyaanisqatsi music. Oh, well. Good call!

@littleogeechee223 2 жыл бұрын
Robert, Jimmy and John Paul all in attendance. The hat Jason and the choir wear is in homage to his father who used to wear that style hat a lot on stage. Jason is an incredible talent. It makes me smile to see Jimmy smiling and so closely studying the lead guitarist’s playing. Heart knocked this out of the park, just a spectacular performance. Robert and Jimmy were heavy musical influences for Ann and Nancy from very early on. Ann said she was always more influenced by male lead singers than female vocalists, especially Robert Plant.

it's very seldom that a cover ever compares favourably with the original, especially Led Zeppelin songs, but this version must be the best one ever done. The very fact that the band members gave them a standing ovation says it all and to see Jason Bonham standing in for his father the way he did was just so emotional for me. Pure artistry.

It was a surprise to everyone that Jason was going to play drums on this song, apparently he even took out his dad's old derby hat for the performance. 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! Very powerful evening for all who witnessed this. Heart is a Class Act! GREAT REACTION GUYS.

And if I recall right, Plant asked Jason to be there and Jason - knowing he was going to be performing there - told him he had a prior commitment and couldn’t attend because he wanted to be a surprise. Hence the joyful surprised look from Plant when they announced Jason - who is Plant’s godson - on drums. Just a beautiful, emotional, perfect performance.

Imagine the pressure he was under. Those are gigantic shoes to fill, and he made it look easy.

I believe they’ve done other work-the drummer I’ve seen in previous years briefly toured with The Smashing Pumpkins during the years when Jimmy Chamberlin was not with the band. So I feel like they’re all accomplished musicians in their own right. 🙂

ikr, this can't be overstated. when I was a teen in the 80's and would go into music stores there would always be a sign saying "no stairway" cuz the staff would be so sick of hearing people (trying) to play this solo on the guitars, this is THE most iconic rock song ever (debatable, but I think most would agree). To play that solo in front of Page and the world, come on, the absolute definition of pressure.

Amber is so precious when she gets emotional like that. I feel you girl! You are SO good at reading and articulating the emotions which is a big reason why I watch y'all's channel. Both of y'all are good at that. Y'all are going to have to come back and watch this again after seeing the original Led Zeppelin version. I was a kid when the original was popular on the radio and hearing this always makes me cry like a little baby! It's sooooo beautiful, in so many ways. Ann's belt is powerful and her vibrato is EXQUISITE! Y'all need to scoot it back to 7:05. Y'all were jamming out and you missed a sweet interaction between John, Jimmy and Robert. The members of Led Zeppelin were very close, truly like a family. They were notoriously fond of one another and had such an amazing symbiotic relationship and dynamism between them. It's always wonderful to watch them together. Even John, who is usually so stoic, was all smiles at this performance. Also, Robert Plant is an ENFP (in the Myers Briggs Type Indicator) which means he's a strong Introverted Feeler and you can just feel the emotion welling up inside him before the tears come. It makes my heart both melt and sing every time I see it! Also, please tell me you recognized President Barak Obama and First Lady Michelle. This event was HUGE! That shows you the reverence. commanded by Led Zeppelin and Heart both.

To put this performance in context- This was performed to honor the band Led Zeppelin when they were awarded "Kennedy Center Honors" It was performed in front of the three remaining living members of the band - John Paul Jones, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page--- the three older gentlemen featured on camera several times. Led Zeppelin gave Heart a standing ovation for the performance of one of their signature songs. "The Kennedy Center Honors is an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture. The honors have been presented annually since 1978, culminating each December in a star-studded gala celebrating the honorees in the Kennedy Center Opera House in Washington, D.C. "

I have seen this so many times, and I cry every single time. This song is even more poignant to me because the original Led Zeppelin song was still pulled up on my son's computer when he died, it was the last song he listened to and I know he left it as a message for me that he was going on ahead to the next adventure of his soul and would be okay. He was very ill with congestive heart failure, only 31 when he died.

Just so ya know, Heart was chosen to perform for this because of their special relationship with Zeppelin. They used to perform "Rock and Roll" to warm up before concerts and it became a fan favorite. It was so often requested, they finally published a live version from a concert for their 1980 greatest hits release. My favorites showing their instrumental and vocal skills, as well as their songwriting abilities is the combination of Sylvan's Song/Dream of the Archer. I think this somewhat obscure portion of the album is some of their best work. From the 1977 album "Little Queen". My favorite album from Heart.

It takes supreme confidence to try and cover any Zeppelin song but especially Stairway,arguably the greatest rock song ever made. This arrangement is absolutely mind blowing. Adding the orchestra, choir and Jason Bonham was more than I could bear. I'm speechless in front of my computer! The Wilson sisters brought this song to a level that had to make the members of Zeppelin so proud! There is no number to rate this, no words to describe it. I'm emotionally drained and flat out floored!! Simply a tremendous performance! Not to mention Jason Bonham and the choir all wearing bowlers hats as a tribute to the legend John Henry "Bonzo" Bonham!! I'm awestruck!!! Oh and how could I forget Ann Wilson a 60 + year old woman singing like she's 20 years old! Like the Wilson sisters said when they first saw the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan show,they stated they didn't want to date the Beatles, they wanted to be the Beatles! Make a band and perform on stage like them. Well they played at The White House in front of The President and Led Zeppelin!! Ann, Nancy, you made it girls!!! What a show stopper!!!
