This is why we should always pay tribute to people when they´re still alive. The joy and the emotion on their faces are priceless.
You’re right. Tell people now you revere them, adore them, love them, and are thankful for them.
❤️🔥
@@andrewcanady6644right 😃🙌🏼 to be recognized while still breathing 😅
Such a wise comment!
Absolutely agree with you on this. Honor them when they can enjoy the performance of their great work.
@@andrewcanady6644❤❤
anyone else crying watching in 2024?
Moi 😊
Bawling
yep
Right here with you lol
❤❤❤
God Himself was listening to this epic rock performance! Who else is listening in 2024?
Listening in 2024
Absolutely ❤
Right here right now ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
I think I saw him in the audience sittin next to Jimmy, with the tears in his eyes
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ unbelievable performance
Fancy playing the greatest guitar rift of all time in front of its creator that takes some nerve and he did it flawlessly. still watching in 2024
Yes" es x que lo escuche cuando era niño" the charly"??? El ohido nunca miente" ho percusion del sonido segun my forma de interpretar los sonidos de voz y de instrumentos de los que tocan " los instrumentalistas "???pensaria yo"???
Sheldon Cooper is surprisingly good guitar player
I thought so to😂@@JReykdal
Hats off for him !
No he didn't wtf? He played the solo wrong and it sounded terrible, Robert plant was probably crying cause of just how bad that guitarist messed up one of the most iconic solos of all time
Just in case those unfamiliar with Led Zeppelin are unaware, their Drummer sadly passed away some time ago, his son is playing the drums here. His signature hat was a bowler hat, thus the bowler hats in the choir. Very very classy tribute.
Jason Bonham, son of the late John Henry "Bonzo" Bonham, shares a fateful coincidence with another son of another drummer. Ringo Starr's eldest Zak had been recruited by Oasis to be their concert drummer before Liam and Noel had their full-blown split. Zak played with Oasis and was also present with other sons of the Beatles when they eventually did a benefit concert covering their fathers' music. Jason Bonham eventually joined Oasis at some point when Zak had left or I could be confusing my timelines as to who joined Oasis first. Both sons of drummers became truly skilled drummers themselves.
The sight of those hats on entire choir cracked Robert for sure!
If I remember correctly, Jason later told Howard Stern that his presence was a surprise to the band, hence the shocked and excited reaction when they saw him!!
Thanks! Didn’t know that! Just adds all the more..
The best drummer of all time. RIP
Robert Plant said in an interview it took her singing this for him to fully understand the depth of this song
they never sang it the same twice. fck, so maazing!
Yeah..must be something else to sit in audience and hear legendary song they created…did nice job
Agree completely. It's amazing watching Jimmy and JP rocking along, while Robert watches and analyzes. I always wonder what was going through Robert's mind as the back up vocals and choir joined in. A haunting addition akin to his STH montage in the movie. And lastly, that sustained final chord carried by all, was spine tingling. Not many ways to finish off one of the best songs ever recorded, but that was one of them.
@@ttman1233 Robert Plant is really hard to please he’s very particular
@DairwoodBarton27
Notice he had tears in his eyes though. He's sensitive and emotional.
I don’t know if anyone could have done this with the same amount of grace and power that Heart did it with. Those ladies ROCK
Absolutelyvthe best heart moving tribute thexwilson sister knocked it right out of the building, even Robety, John and Jimmy were spirituality and emotionally moved❣️wonderful tribute to the drummer having his sin play! The thought that went with this performance, top❤ notch!!❤❤❤❤
of "nailing it" could be personified - this is it.
True. They were an amazing addition to the song!
@❤maryleemiles3085
While Heart is getting their much deserved recognition for their performance, the musical director who put this masterpiece together should get some too. Every detail was impeccable, every performance was flawless, and this was a result of their work.
Just what performance did you watch cause that guitarist absolutely butchered the solo, it was awful, wtf
@@Dan-su2qt
Eh?
amen...the backup singers, that orchestra and choir are just spectacular.
@@ArchieFatcackie he didn't play the solo from the song, he tried to do his own solo and it was awful. Everyone is expecting to hear one of, if not the most iconic solos ever, and he plays...that mess. That kind of performance you cover the song note for note, and he didn't do that. If you've got the balls to play Jimmy page's solo infront of Jimmy page, and the president of the United States, you had better have the talent to back it up, and this guy didn't. He should be ashamed of that shit solo he played.
@@Dan-su2qt
Absolute nonsense.
He wasn’t the arranger the whole song was shortened much more than the original including the solo.
Also, when did Page ever play as one of his recordings? He treated every live performance as a jamming session.
January 4, 2024.
Who in 2024 watching and listening to this masterpiece?
I've been watching this video for years and I like it more and more.
.
.
March 11, 2024. In January I saw it while in Madrid, Spain. Now, two months later, I see him again while in Malaga, in the south of Spain. And I want to tell you... every time I see it it's better.
I can’t believe I’ve been watching this for 11 years…..never gets old
Absolutely amazing
This brings me instant dopamine
Jeap.😂
It gets better and better every time.
When a song can make it's own creators cry, you know it's special.
El chiste es donde plan " me encienda " ha plan ji.ji.ji " the charly"me le vuelo" jua.jua.jua"???
And stuff
@@CarlosMesa-mk1vpwhat
He was crying at the choir wearing the bowler hats which was a tribute to John Bonham
@ZzzZzz968 Even before that he was a little emotional you could tell
I've rewatched this probably 100+ times and every single time I burst into tears
same
You might want to go into therapy
honestly i think the people who watch this and DON'T burst into tears are the ones who should be in therapy
Me too, crying 😭 right now. RIP Bonzo❤
Me too
This woman has got balls to play such an iconic song in front of one of the most iconic bands in the world and not only that, play it right, and hit a chord deep enough to make these guys emotional. Kick ass woman!
No other girl R&R band but Heart could do this song like what just happened here. 👏👏💐💐💯💯🕊️🕊️💥💥
The reason she's a woman is ... she has no balls.
Kick ass musicians, regardless of sex.
Even better: she has ovaries 😅
Well, I mean, that is Ann Wilson. so, yeah!
In my opinion, this is without a shadow of a doubt the greatest tribute I've ever seen to a band, very moving.
Certainly in the conversation, the Tom Petty / Prince “while my guitar gently weeps” is up there too
David Bowie and Annie Lennox under pressure
@@OneForTheNorthsince you brought up Prince, Adam Levine guitar solo Purple Rain is also up there
@@bryanblakeney7289 😂 you are at it, I’m not diving into that one. I wouldn’t open my back door if Adam Levine was playing in my garden haha
o filho do John bonhan é uma merda,para de puxar saco de um bosta.
Imagine the pressure of playing Led Zeppelin in front of Led Zeppelin, and then being such consummate professionals you pull THIS off. Heart are truly greats in their field.
Ok, I agree with part of your statement. But why did they leave part of the song out? Why did they need a massive choir to fill in? Because they can't pull the weight of what zeppelin could do even on a night they felt "off". And having them there doesn't change the fact that they needed to fit into time restraints and live up to media expectations. That's why bands like led zeppelin didn't get signed to contracts in the beginning. Because they were a round peg trying to fit into a square hole. Their songs were to long to fit onto album ("vinyl") sides. Where is that rebellious side of rock and roll anymore? It's not alive in the older guys anymore. I want that back, where is that now? Where is that fire? I seriously hope some newer generations find it, or we'll all be generations lost in space.......
@@jasonbauer5488 as if you’re talking about rock and roll and having fire when you drone on like that. The most boring commenter on RUclips. Mr Negative, anything but rock and roll. What an absolute bore you are. Bore off to boresville and live out your days in boredom, on your own away from all us excited souls. Absolute oxygen thief, fun sponge, you could make an onion cry. 🥱
Music then was not the music of today. Sad.
@@jasonbauer5488performance time constraints. They almost always do that during Kennedy Center Honors. They don't always play the entire song no matter who it is.
Well said
I showed this video for a few friends of mine and none of them liked, it is clear to me now that I do need new friends.
When Jason Bonham points up to Robert Plant as if to say "I gotcha!!" One of many beautiful moments during this performance.
Robert had asked Jason to sit in the balcony with the band to represent his Dad. Jason kept declining saying that he "had a gig" that night.
This is not music anymore. This is spiritual. Under your skin, inside your bone. Deep inside your soul.
Amen! I feel it deep.
Its definitely become something bigger and profound as time goes by
It was always spiritual
@@treasurz1 Credo di averla ascoltata 1000 volte
❤❤❤❤
John and Jimmy are enjoying themselves. But Robert, you can see how this truly touched his soul. Those eyes say it all.
He was worried they will do a better job than he
@@iblacka1no one will ever do.
He was probably going this is so interesting hearing something he would be singing being sung so beautifully to him
The emotion from Robert is about remembering his mate John Bonham, who he knew before Led Zeppelin. Robert is responding to the wonderful tribute to John, by way of the choir wearing the bowler hats at the climax of the song.
Well, he KNOWS the meaning of the song.
The only musicians who can cover Stairway to Heaven, are these two women!
I believe Jason Bonham has filled his father's shoes!
The sheer amount of balls it takes to play a Led Zeppelin cover in front of Led Zeppelin.
This is only the finale of a half hour musical Tribute
I am sooo glad it was Heart
SI
These ladies were on a whole new level with this version. Absolutely gorgeous version and a true appreciation and respect of the band and this song
it takes none apparently!
When the members of Led Zeppelin give you a standing ovation for covering their own song, you know you did well. 👍
Especially because Jimmy Page is known to dislike when bands cover their songs
And you can die peacefully
Parabéns à todos da banda , mas o vocal da Anny é simplesmente primoroso como sempre! Fantástica!
I think beyond even that is the moment you can literally SEE in Robert Plant's face " okay .... THAT'S what it's like to have heard it when WE did it " . He was on the edge of his seat as she went into the " to be a rock and not to roll " line and it brought him to tears.
Robert plant when sings live is not like when he recorded it...Nancy's hit all the notes and the end she let's it rip
that's when he got emotional..
that power and just amazing...
I’m a 62 year old woman who was in a Led Zep cover band in Detroit in the 70’s
This is the best thing I have seen in years!
They smashed it! Ann Wilson rocked out! And Jason!
Just like Jimmy and Robert I wept a bit.
Late to the game but now can’t walk away 😊
I'm also 62 yrs old. ( male ) No one is a bigger fan of Led Zeppelin than I am. I've been playing ( guitar ) & singing this song ( at the same time ) for over 50 years ( as with most of the Zeppelin catalog, along with hundreds of other songs ). And that includes performing on stage for nearly 20 years. They completely cut out/omitted the most intricate & beautiful part of the guitar intro to this song, and jumped right into the lyrics. I would've much rather seen them perform "the Rain Song", which is FAR MORE difficult to play & perform vs Stairway.
Gentlemen, the world will remember and thank you for this song in generations. Dramatic, clear, hard, true. Thank you!
When that choir comes in hard, if you're not feeling this song deep in your bones, you're not human. Just incredible
I just don't get ppl who don't get emotional at concerts. I feel sorry they don't experience that wave of emotions.
Absolutely loving this comment🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The choir hit all three of the original. You could see how they pepped up even more than they were.
The human voices certainly add another dimension to the song. It was unexpected and I think LZ guys enjoyed that.
@@ryanpoli3209 It's the shared beauty, joy, and happiness with a crowd of other humans. All hearts and minds on the same page.
This is unquestionably one the great performances of modern times - the way Nancy strums, Ann sings, Jason drums, the orchestra builds, the choir explodes, John Paul Jones nods, Jimmy Page smiles, and Robert Plant cries...........next level performance
I'll add - the mighty Zep - there will never be another....
Its alright.
great comment
cheers
Great comment bro.
Spot on brother!
One of the greatest live performances ever. Ann and Nancy are queens!
No it's not, the solo, the part everyone knows, is terrible and that guy should be ashamed of himself. What the F is with you people thinking this was good
Considered by many to be the greatest song by the greatest rock band.
Not once have they ever whined of NEVER receiving a Grammy for their monumental work when the band was active.
Unlike today's ungrateful azzholes who want everything handed to them. The Grammy's are ruined. Over. They mean nothing anymore. Better to stay away from that shit.
this is not an exaggeration this is one of THE BEST performances of all time
My eyes tear up every time I listen to it. Just like Robert Plant did. It is just an amazing version.
Hi yes" the charly" thank you beautiful"??? Good "???
100
Watching Robert Plant trying to hold back his tears is whole another level of feels man. Dare I say that this might be one of the best live performances of all time.
You dare!
@Anand Laishram I mean this riff is his baby, I would carefully inspect myself
BEST ALL TIME COVER. THE MOST BLESSED COVER. BETWEEN LED AND PLANT, AND OFFSPRING OF THE BONZO, BLESSED. THE VOCALS CRIED OUT WITH THE KIND OF INTENSITY THAT YOU KNOW THERE IS ONLY ONE AUDIENCE MEMBER TO IMPRESS WITH THEM. THE DRUMMER HITTING WITH LOVE FOR THE ONLY ONE AUDIENCE MEMBER NOT THERE. THE GUITARS WEEPING WITH JOY AS THIER MUSICIANS LOOKED UP IN WONDER AT HOW THEY HAVE COME TO THIS, WITH EXPLODING SOULS. THE AUDIENCE APPLAUDING TO A STANDING OVATION KNOWING WHAT THEY WITNESSED WAS FOR NOT FOR THIER PERSONAL OR GROUP ENJOYMENT BUT BECAUSE THEY HAD A SEAT AT THE FULL CIRCLE.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!
One of the BEST FEMALE VOICES IN ROCK, if not the best!!!!!
Heart and Led Zeppelin were contemporaries. Looks like the Wilson sisters aged pretty well. You crushed it ladies!
I think Plant was tearing up there at the end. Truly an epic tribute. Arguably the best rendition of the song ever.. Certain parts of that song play into Ann WIlson's strengths as a vocalist, and she takes full advantage.. A choir of angels doesn't hurt ever.
Can you imagine being so good that you bring Robert Plant to tears singing his own song?
I guess, Heart was just the right choice for that. Their Song Barracuda and espeicially the singers voice on that track gets me every time. :)
No doubt
My thoughts, too.
I have a feeling that Alison Krauss led Robert Plant to salvation. He seems to have a much softer personality since working with her.
Right? And Jimmy Page!
This was my wife’s favourite song. When she withdrew into her own mind due to brain cancer, I played it every night for her, to see if I could get any response from her. She passed away a year ago, and I accidentally came across this performance. I can’t stop tearing up.
I am very sorry for your loss. My sister was diagnosed with brain cancer in Dec. and she passed a few days later on Dec 19th 2022. She grew up in the 70's and loved Led Zeppelin... Life is not the same without her.
Sorry for your loss mate. Take care.
When my mum seemed lost because of her Alzheimer, music let me stay closer to her. I am pretty sure your wife enjoyed the music you shared and share with her. Big hug/abrazo from Argentina
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to loose that special someone in your life. Stairway to Heaven is such a fitting piece. Take good care.
I am saddened and touched by what you've had to endure and what you've lost.
Music nowadays just don't compare to the music we grew up on.
even after 12 years have past......you see over 142 million people watched ......and 61,920 comments have been made.......that alone, speaks for itself. I must have watched this at least 100 times. Best live performance ever. Goosebumps every time........
Robert really looked like he was reliving the best and worst memories of his life as those lyrics were sang so beautifully back to him.
Fantastic tribute to Led Zeppelin. Good job ❤
I though the same thing. I recall he lost a child early in life and I could almost sense that loss in his eyes
I think its the fact the song they wrote is being performed in honor of them so many yrs later. Dude is holding back full on weeping. That clutched hand
.ö,pmmml
They stole this song
The Wilson sisters KILLED it! BEAUTIFUL! Robert Plant and Jimmy Page were in TEARS!
BEAUTIFUL!!!
It was because of Jason.
AND both would be quick to state "What the hell did you do to our song" ... BOTH with tears tells you how they feel.
Yes, it was because of Jason. The only drummer who could play "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin correctly was the original drummer, Jon Bonham, who was Jason's father. This song requires control, finesse, and complex drum arrangements. Phil Collins attempted to play it during the Live Aid concert in 1985 to help the band get back on tour, but his performance failed terribly, resulting in the band never playing again. Therefore, for Jon Bonham's son to perform flawlessly in front of the band was an incredible sight to see. It was a true tribute to his father in many ways. Rest in peace, Jon Bonham.
Robert Plant was in tear because he was missing his dear friend John Bonham. He admitted as much in an interview with Howard Stern.
Ann & Nancy Wilson have been performing Zeppelin's songs for years! Decades! It's no secret Heart is the only band to pretty much nail Zeps songs
My daughter is only 2,5 years old and it’s her favorite song. She asks me every day to listen this performance
My son is just over 2 and he likes singing/humming to Like a Stone from Audioslave. These songs hit different than todays music.
Hundreds of singers.
Still hear Ann Wilson clear as day.
Rock on!!!
Plant looks like he’s only just realised how momentous this piece of music they put out into the world is.
I actually agree with your opinion. I felt that too. And watch letterman interview after the award show!! I believe we are spot on. You will see!!!! ☮️👍🏽💯👋
I think he was remembering all the pages of his life and this is the finale of sorts
Such a perfect comment. Thank you.
The same thought crossed my mind - or at least he didn't fully appreciate it until this performance.
Lot of tragedy happened to Plant while in the later stages of the band. He's great about his time in the band, but it was over before he was 30, and I'm sure it's not an easy place to revisit, nor living with the legend he created, which was largely out of his control at the time also, as well as into eternity.
December 2023. Still coming back to this performance. Just magnificent. Brings tears to my eyes.
same.
same
me too
You, me, Robert....beauty takes us all, it's undeniable.
Ditto. :-) Merry Christmas.
Ann and Nancy really rocked that song 🎵Amazing show. 😢 not a dry eye. So glad we grew up with this music. Beautiful. 70s were the best times of our lives. Thank you ROCKERS. ♥️
Blasting this song on the back of the bus in the 80s I can watch this video twice a day . Thank you for making this happen.
Seeing their faces during the song, I could only imagine the memories that were going through their minds, it brought a tear to my eyes.
I mean it moved Robert Plant to tears so that speaks volumes to me. :)
@@aboundingvampirekiller2048 He said that at that moment he was thinking about Bonham.
People who let their feelings get involved with the unreal (the past) can nver be happy. Enjoy the Here and Now...why it is called the Gift or the Present
Love it!
Bonzo;-)
No one could ever sing Starway to Heaven as good as Led Zeppelin, except for Ann Wilson from Heart. Beautiful just Beautiful.
100% right. No one has ever sang it as good as Heart. No one ever will. And for Heart to do it so well, is a great honor indeed.
This version is better than many I’ve seen, including by Zeppelin themselves. Very powerful, with orchestra and choir. It’s elevated way beyond “rock song” to the land of Musical Masterpiece.
@@markdaniels7174 If I were in my death bed and down to my final hour, I would request to hear Heart's version of Stairway one last time.
God bless her
Makes me cry 😭😭😭😭
I've been listening to this every day for weeks just to feed my soul with this performance of perfection.
My god that brought a tear to my eye. Especially when the choir jumped in!!! That is definitely rock and roll!!!! Bravo Heart!!!
When your tribute brings the original performers to tears... that's everything right there.

Didn't they steal that song?
@@atmakali9599 what's going wrong in your life that you bothered to write that. Hope it gets better.
@@RudeGoat too much grovelling to celebrities. Get up from your knees and be you.
Life is very challenging right now, but these 6 minutes and 56 seconds have cleansed my soul.
Hang in there. This was cleansing indeed ☺️
I get it, all the best
It’s going to get worse so stay tough buddy
Music has power to move souls
🔥🎵👍🏼😥
Absolute goosebumps when that choir kicks in
This has been one of the songs that has gotten me through so many of life's hiccups. Lost loves, life's issues that kick you in the head. My beloved Mother died a few months ago and this amazing version has brought me some solace. Thank you ladies for your amazing performance.
It's August 2023 and I'm still coming back to this. Phenomenal performance.
Me too!
Same
Same here and everytime Jason looks up there are tears in my eyes
Yes
Absolutely
That guitarist had to play one of the most legendary guitar solos in history directly to the man who wrote it. No pressure god damn
I thought the same thing.
Que. Voz linda boa homenagem led zeep canta demais
Perfect rendition. As you said, I cannot imagine the pressure!
Would love to see that too..
He's Shane Fontayne... legendary guitarist who has been on so many albums. Perfect pick for this!
Brought chills down my spine. Always loved this song. Heart and all the singers did a wonderful job. I loved seeing Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones looking clean cut and handsome.❤
The best thing I have heard in YEARS!!! I needed this song more than I knew.
Nancy Wilson is truly an underrated top flight guitarist.
super crisp playing.
She is way past amazing!
Wholeheartedly agree
Yea that family oooozeeess talent.
And who else but Ann could do this song justice? This was awesome, great to have this one pop up.
@@wenmar3837 I can’t think of anyone
Can you imagine, Jason Bonham covering one of the most iconic songs of his dad’s career and being watched by his dad’s former bandmates. How much emotion must have been running through his veins.
jason is this bad.
Man, when he gives that little look skyward at 5:48
Jay is a amazing drummer I swear he channeld his dad during this
I know it did thru mine, I cried big
U took the words rt out of My mouth. Just chilling 12;52 am. 3-10-22
You could feel the love between Jason Bonham and the 3 surviving members of Led Zeppelin.
Absolutely brilliant!
I know that's a zeppelin song but Ann Wilson made that song hers that night. Much respect.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Led Zeppelin are notorious for not exactly loving it when people cover their songs. So the fact that they’re smiling like this, and Robert Plant actually cries, just goes to show you how incredible this arrangement of the song really is.
agree 1000%.
John Bonham''s son on the drums probably adds another huge emotional edge to it as well.
He's sincere
@@sidewinderenigma That's exactly right...Plant said that on a show he was just telling Page that they should've invited Jason, and then he appeared on stage.
I think this is actually better than theirs. They have a full orchestra behind them. Zep are better with their instruments (Nancy is excellent, but... Jimmy Page? Who is better than him? There are contenders, but the only guy I definitely put ahead is dead 50+ years) but Ann's voice is better than any of the boys.
I don't think its possible to top this in terms of covering a song. Simply a masterpiece.
I can't begin to imagine how they were feeling, knowing they wrote it, and have played that classic many many times. And then to hear it played back with heart felt perfection and passion, must have been a real joy and honour for them.
I don’t think it’s hyperbole to call this one of the greatest live performances of all time.
it really much is tho
watch comfortably numb pulse live for a life changing experience
Seen them in a little tavern in Tacoma,$1.50 cover charge many many moons ago
No only the best live performance, but without a doubt, the best cover!!!
Only Jeff Lynne could have did it better! Awesome!
Can we just sit a minute and celebrate Ann Wilson´s incredible voice?
That's what i'm doing now.
Schwing
to use use a "modern" phrase in the old time true sense, her performance was epic. Fckn epic, tears in the eyes, gooseflesh on the skin EPIC
you got my vote.
I'm glad I'm not the only one finding this in this day and age.
My mother passed away ten years ago. RIP mom.
ARGUABLY ONE OF THE BEST COVERS OF A SONG IN ROCK HISTORY
IT SURELY WAS HEARD IN HEAVEN, LET THE ANGELS DECIDE...
Jesus, I haven't experienced that level of goosebumps in a long time. Incredible performance of one of the best songs ever written.
I come back just for the feeling never gets old
Это супер станция по энергетике для меня
I could only imagine what it was like being there!
Same, fam.
Discovered this a few years back, every few months I return for another dose, it does not get old, it never will... 💜
Why does this rendition of the song bring a 63 year old grown man to tears. Perhaps it's the greatest song ever written, and to see it being performed in such a magnificent way and watch the originators enjoy it so.
And tears to this 72 year old grown as well.
It's that choir.
Phenomenal.
And their reactions at the end when the large choir comes out is great, they were like little kids. It was so cool to watch.
Ann said Robert Plant told her she made him love the song again in that moment. That alone would bring him to tears.
I would imagine seeing his deceased bandmates son perform in the drums contributed to it.
I’m 25 and seeing this for my first time… tears this way too!!
Jimmy was reliving it. I saw it in his smile. ❤
Jason looking up from the drums at the end gets me every time
Props to the guitarist for his courage, and for nailing it in front of Jimmy
True courage.. holy crap!!
You know he had to be absolutely crapping himself before going on stage
true but wasn't it shane fontayne who has played with almost anyone who is anyone so he was probably less phased than most.
@@benjaminclark6474, how are yours, big man?
@@benjaminclark6474 you should consider seriously the option to change pusher !!!
The fact that the drummer is John Bonham's son makes this tribute more magical.
I agree this
Wearing his Dad's bowler hat and playing a set of John's drums
Amen to that
Love . if you only knew....
thats cool i didnt know
This song goes down in history! She / they, did a beautiful job with it. Not an easy task.
Hands down, the best Kennedy Center Honors performance EVER!!
"We're going to play stairway to heaven in front of Led Zeppelin everyone, no pressure"
Imagine being on that stage looking up and seeing that reaction from Jimmy at 4:24
And Obama
And Yo-Yo Ma
something tells me ol' roberto plant "wasn't happy" how do i know ? when both of his eyes were looking in defferent directions.. !
lol
And do it better
So proud of Ann Wilson. As if I couldn’t love her more, she totally knocked it out of the park on this one. BEST tribute ever!!!
Hi bbst pues " ni se jua.jua.jua" solo analizo "the charly"???
Yes beautiful donde el autor se emberraque y no le trame jua.jua.jua hay tirraria era caja my mismo" ji.ji.ji " the charly" bay me diga huy me desfiguraste el tema jua.juajua"???
Actually, I think that Ann, as powerful as she tried to portray, was no where near the power of this song. It is the song itself, and the backup singers in the hats. She was.....OK in it. There were 1,000 singers who could do it. Not trying to take away from her effort....but she did not MAKE this song.
Yes beautiful pal que valora el esfuerzo pal que no grave " cada persona hace lo del" the charly " thank you"???
@@marcblaser3770 hmmm. She’s 75 years old dude…I’d say it was pretty FING phenomenal.
Two of the BEST ALL TIME BANDS in HISTORY...Led Zeppelin and Heart with the best tribute performance ever done at Kennedy Center!!!!
Wow never saw this before. What absolute perfection that was.
It takes balls of steel to play that guitar solo in front of Jimmy Page
The smile on his face...
It sure as hell does!
And he LOVED it. It doesn’t get any better.
Not realty, have a word.
@@karlbaker9153 Who is the guitarist?
A hundred backup singers, an entire orchestra , and Ann Wilson powers louder and clearer than all of it and sounds flawlessly natural Amazing singer. A true enigma.
Beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. Robert is so touched by it!
One of the best rock n roll bands ever, and the best song, brings me back to my younger days, I loved Led Zeppelin.
Playing that solo in front of Jimmy Page. No pressure.
Yea.. and one or two other persons of minor importance..
@@myself3209 of course theyre important, i dont think @claes Fjellstrom was saying they werent, hes just making a joke
Im thinking only Ann and Nancy and of course Jason could have pulled that off without wetting themselves and only Ann Wilsons big voice could have gotten up over that chorus! Robert Plant tearing up and pretending he wasnt haha. I wasnt sure what he was thinking til I saw that and then I thought "yea they got him"
Sheldon did a good job
Amazing ❣️
This was my dad's favourite song, he would always listen to it, every morning he played it. Naively I knew this would be his funeral song one day, in a long time I hoped. After a 5 year battle with cancer, last month, as i've always imagined, we played it during his funeral. This tribute song will always hold the biggest place in my heart as I will always feel his presence when listening to it. I love you dad, can't wait to listen to it together one day.
My favorite...your father has amazing and spiritual sense that a lot of people are not capable of having. I'm sure he is listening EVERY SINGLE TIME you play this LOUD and CLEAR!!
Sending all my love, sweetheart.
So sorry for your loss. This too will be my funeral song in many years to come I hope . But it’s spiritual haunting and almost in my dna. Part of my life.
Love is forever! When you hear this song think of him and smile!
For you will be with him again✝️
So sorry for your loss ❤️🌺❤️
Their smile and tears in eyes are priceless❤
I can only imagine what it must feel like to sit there and realize that you're the one who created this acoustical masterpiece.
almost 10 years later I still send this to people when I'm drunk.
and sober 😂
That is exactly why I'm here! Kashmir's next!
Just like Me...... a drunk with “ good taste” 🤣
Love this tribute!
Haha same as me 🤣
There is no greater compliment than to bring the original artist to tears when singing their song to them. This song comes up as the #1 song of all time, on many lists for a very good reason. What a performance! You just feel it through your body.
The tears can also be caused by the drummer is the actual drummers son
@@Nylander2004 At their age it could be almost anything. His life was so rich and full of experiences that occurred as a direct result of writing, performing or just listening to his own music. Loss, regret, nostalgia, love, pride ... memories, aging is an amazing emotional process. I'm sometimes overwhelmed ... I cannot even imagine aging after a life as enormous as theirs!
@Nylander2004 I think it's everything (his emotions) just sort of bubbling over like a bottle of champagne. Everything he experienced that got them to this point, the music, the drummer, and the emotion of the moment, to think someone took a song you wrote and with an extreme creative inspiration, created this awesome presentation of it, that moved everyone watching! It was a great performance.
Homie pushed the beat almost too fast on his opening fill, just saying. He went from Lars Ulrich live to Neil Peart in the studio
My God this touches my soul! What an incredible performance!!
Watched this video 100x over the last few years. Powerful.
I couldn't imagine the impact that having legends like Led Zeppelin give you a standing ovation for performing their song for them. For veterans like Ann and Nancy Wilson it is a tribute to their abilities and dedication to the craft, to Jason Bonham it is a tribute to his father, and to the backup band and singers, it is certainly a highlight, if not the peak of their careers. A fantastic performance by all.
Fantastic statement 👏 👌
Completely agree. I keep rewatching this and this ruclips.net/video/CnrbdNjf-aw/видео.html Completely different Genres and completely flawless
Brilliant and Beautiful.
It is so emotional to see it. But why the choir?
Huh? They weren’t standing. Just being polite.
If this Doesn’t give you Goosebumps then I don’t know what would!! Chills and smiles
Exactly! If you don't know the history behind the band, even bonzo's son on the drums then you only get this at face value and can't interpret the real meaning and emotion here.
Every time and I'm well over a 100 easily.
Now THAT! is how to honor someone! It's done powerfully, respectfully, and perfectly. No one else's "interpretation" is implied on the music. Just a marvelous cover. Wish I could have been there to witness it.
They absolutely killed it. What an amazing performance
To get a standing ovation from the creator of the song is the greatest compliment you could ever receive.
Makes you realise just how good the original was. And there was only four of them.
His Son played his dream!!! Amen!!!🙏🏼♥️🖤🎶🎵🎶🎵 amazing music 🎶
Long overdue for the Wilson sisters.
And tears. If you can bring the song writer to tears, you ROCK!
I watched this numerous times and it is simply superb if you don’t feel chills after this your are not human best cover ever
Ann Wilson is absolutely incredible!! She gives me chills when she’s belting it out. She nails this song. I love her so much.
They should have let Anne’s voice be out front. This song is perfect for her.
As a band, I can only imagine the feeling on humility when you hear your band’s top iconic hit being played masterfully as it was here. It has to hit you when you realize your creation influenced THIS. What an amazing way to be thanked and appreciated.
4/12/2024 Wow.
Nobody covers Zeppelin in front of Zeppelin, let alone have Robert Plant get emotional, and the band give a standing O at the end. This is incredible.
