NEW to your channel.. the heart stairway video.. didn't know if u knew John Bonzo Bonham's SON is on DRUMS. That makes it special. In his daddy's "seat" as we lost Bonzo
The drummer is Jason Bonham. His dad was Led Zeppelin's Drummer John Bonham. The hats were a tribute to John, because he was famous for wearing Bowler hats like his son is wearing, for performances. A 'tip of the hat' shall we say, since we lost John in 1980.
The Bowler hat was a trademark of the late John "Bonzo" Bonham the original drummer. His son performed with the remaining members and he was performing with Heart to honor them. He kept it a secret from them, which was a total surprise to them. That's why they were crying.
@@gunhedd5375 it is. It has John Bonhams Led Zep emblem on the front, the three intertwined circles. Robert Plant, in an interview, stated that it was one of the things that made him emotional.
Side note: Zep did not know Jason would be there that night. Prior to the show, they invited Jason, but he told them he had previous plans and couldn't be there. Then he showed up, and did his dad proud.
the fact that Ann's voice can be heard nice and clear over an entire choir and orchestra...while she was SICK WITH THE FLU...speaks to her legendary voice and status. Only Ann and Nancy could do this.
You got that right! There's a reason they were called the female Led Zeppelin back in the day. Plus don't forget the fact that Ann was 61 years old at this time!
Huge props to the sound tech/s during sound check getting everything dialed in so we COULD hear her over everything else without anything feeling like it was blasting or subpar.
Yes! This performance absolutely hits me my heart so hard because it's so beautifully done. The energy going back and forth between the members of led Zeppelin and Jason and heart and you can feel their love just feeling that whole place. It's something that just so touching and beautiful and powerful to witness all at once.
Dude, i’m 57 years old and I’ve watched this performance at least 15 times since it was televised…Maybe the fact that Jason surprised them, maybe the bowler hat, maybe the rings on the drum kit,!but what an absolutely spectacular rendition of one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll songs ever created.. hats off to Ann and Nancy…🇺🇸❤️ and I’m still tearing with joy and sorrow…🤐
Amazing performance. One special day in rock history. I was blessed to see Heart play this in Austin. Great reaction on your part too man! Music is magic. It gets my penguin wings a goin'. ☺
I read somewhere that Ann and Nancy Wilson only rehearsed for 45 minutes with the choir before they performed this amazing version of Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors. I have watched this video I don’t know how many times and it still gives me goosebumps!’
When Ann hits that note after the solo, it gets me just like it gets Robert and I start crying everytime I listen. What Anne did at 62 years old was a Masters Class in singing live. If you don't feel this, you're DEAD inside..
Maybe the greatest cover of all time. And good lord how much pressure was on the Wilson sisters to come out and do that in front of THAT crowd. If I'm honest, Ann's power is overwhelming. The kiss she blew Led Zeppelin at the end was almost like saying, I'm gangsta too boys.
In the Heart video "Alone", I feel like that Nancy's guitar playing is equal to Jimmy Page. It would be awesome to see Jimmy and Nancy do a guitar duet. I am sure we would not be disappointed.
John Bonham, Lepp's great drummer, died very early in his career and in this tribute his son, Jason, is on drums in his dad's iconic Bowler hat. The choir wearing bowlers, to ME, depicted his dad watching his son payin' a stunning tribute to him (and his Zepp-mates). The heart-thumps from Jason to his dad (er ... and his Zepp-mates) always brings a bit o' mist to these old eyes. PS ... really happy that ya enjoyed this.
Nothing to add but this: let's get some love for the lead guitarist. "Hey, we've got a gig for you. We want you to play the guitar solo in "Stairway to Heaven," at a command performance in front of the surviving members of Led Zeppelin. Oh, and by the way, the president and first lady will be there too. No pressure." 😳
Or Nancy having to play with no accompanying instruments at the beginning. So hard to do, just guitar solo and nothing else. If you F up everybody will know.
@@rollomaughfling380 Not on that night when they were accepting the "Kennedy Center Honors" Also I don't think a country can claim a band. Yes that is where they were born and started but once you start touring the world, you belong to the world.
Ann Wilson has the best female voice ever! Nancy Wilson is a master guitarist. The drummer is Jason BONHAM, John Bonham’s son. I believe that touched Led Zeppelin the most.Robert Plant was in tears.
Johns son, Jason Bonham,was on the drums for his dad!! The bowler hats they were wearing was in honor of John because he often wore them . It was very emotional to see LZ there watching on, and Robert getting a little teary eyed ripped my heart out because he and John were so close💙 This will never get old!!🎶🎸🎵🎸
@@mikeb3835 I agree that there have been some great covers from other bands but Heart is basically Zep with a female singer. They’ve said how they worshipped Zep back in the day. But good point!
hOOge props to those who put this stunning production together. It's THEY who let us all watch Zepp get to feel the way that we all felt when Stairway blew OUR minds. Congrats to all involved ... a genuine MASTERPIECE !!!
Yeah, I wish the arranger of it got more props. It's a very specific skill, to be able to rework a masterpiece to include choral work etc, the arrangement is out of this world good.
totally agree. The performers are incredible, but every part of this production is on point. You can analyze audibly and visually and it only enhanced and support the song. A lot of thought and effort went into this.
Maybe it's because I'm so old, but I tear up every time I see this video. I've heard Heart playing Led Zeppelin live for 45 years, including Stairway, but this one is just that special.
@@tazjammer, lucky you! I'm not that old, 54. Wish I could have been born about 15 years earlier so I could have seen all my favorite bands as they were growing. Pink Floyd came around in 67 when I was born, and I would have loved to see a couple of Syd shows.
Best cover I've ever heard. Can't tell you how many times I've listened to it. So glad you did this song! The hat is a tribute to their late drummer John Bonham.
Awe the derby hats! Makes me cry everytime too watch this video! Bonham is a legend in the drum world. And ann and Macy Wilson have long known the led zep guys! I believe they are part of the elite allowed to cover their songs. They are very particular about their music being used for anything. Spectacular tribute!
Jason was not only wearing his dad's hat, and he was also playing his dad's drums. His dad started teaching Jason to play the drums at very young age. Ann and Nancy Wilson have been every good friends since the 60s. RIP John aka Bonzo Bonham. You are still very missed. XOXO Brandi Modrak XOXO means hugs and Kisses to you and your family.
They couldn't have had a more perfect drummer, Jason did his father proud!! The entire performance was top notch, they even made Robert Plant tear up. Great reaction to a great song by superstar performers.
The bowler hats were for their late drummer John Bonham who was known for them. The drummer on this was his son Jason, that Zeo didn't know was going to appear. That's why at the end he sent his heart out to them and (uncle) Plant did the same. Oh and bass player John Paul Jones has appeared on a few Heart recordings.
That woman has the kind of voice that makes me very happy that she was ever discovered, for the world to be able to hear AND enjoy. She can make ANY song sound amazing. I love that woman
Kudos to Van for playing the full length version. I watched this performance the night it was originally broadcast and have seen this clip many times since. It never fails to send a chill up my spine. Seeing Robert Plant tear up is beyond words 🥺😎
My favorite reaction you’ve ever done! I was brought to tears when I first watched this about 6 months ago. Watching their faces and seeing Jimmy Page just light up is everything!! The pride they must’ve felt for Jason Bonham on the drums for his dad. Makes me want to cry again. ❤️❤️❤️
04:08 Ann's not singing lower. The original song was in A minor, Heart are doing it in A minor. It's just that instruments (like the voice) of higher *timbre* generally sound fuller in their lower *pitch* ranges. In other words, if you played the same notes on the higher register of a baritone sax it sounds thinner and more abrasive compared with the same notes on an alto sax. Same would go for 'cello vs violin, etc. People often confuse timbre with pitch-hell, even scientists often do it. This is why Karen Carpenter, once she was convinced her voice sounded better in its lower register and started cranking out hits, used to joke: "The money's in the basement."
What an absolutely surreal moment that must have been. Emotions had to be off the chain. Like seeing a short movie of your life. Thank you for doing this one, Van. 💟
My first time hearing this song by Heart...they dropped the tone...and is absolutely awesome!...What a fantastic Tribute! I went to a Led Zeppelin Concert in the 70s...an absolute wonderfully Tribute!...
This still makes me cry every time. I'm not sure you could honor them and that song any damn better than what Ann & Nancy did. They killed it. I hope you check out more Heart, I know that's a tough act to follow but I promise they're amazing!
Great choice! Out of the park by Heart and company. Yours will be the 3rd time I've seen that performance. Spellbound. Can't take my eyes or ears off it. I love it! Love it! Peace love and blessings to you!
Me encantó tu reacción!! Me emocioné, me rei y me volví loca como vos ..y no paro de escucharlo y siempre encuentro algún detalle nuevo.. saludos de Argentina. Cynthia
The hat was the same type that John Bonham used to wear. It was a tribute to Bonzo. The band disband after John’s death and seeing his son on the drums and the hats he and the choir wore really touched the surviving band members.
I hope you watched this again & kept ur eyes open...during the guitar solo Paige, very softly, is counting the licks the guy is playing...and watch their reactions as the curtain lifted behind the drummer at the end revealing the rest of the choir...
I had a huge smile on my face during your whole reaction. I love how much you enjoyed this performance, because it was simply amazing. Thanks so much for helping to spread the joy.
To be the son of the greatest drummer of all time and to one day perform one of the best songs ever in front of the best band ever is so incredible and it chokes me up everytime stuff like this happens only once a lifetime. So happy for jason
The only thing better than listening to a truly great song for the first time… a song that blows you away, changes your outlook on life, gives you hope or moves you in some way you can’t really explain…. Is watching a good friend listen to it for the first time and seeing that it has the same effect on them as it did you. Watching your reaction to this video reminded me of that good friend and all the great music we shared with each other over the years. She’s been gone for a while now, but for a few short minutes this morning, she was right there with me, listening to Heart perform the best cover of a song I never fully appreciated as much as I do now. Thank you.
Heart covers of LZ are always amazing! They did Black Dog and Rock and Roll a lot and the young Ann Wilson singing Rock n Roll is the best version of the song you can get!

The original drummer wore the hat which obviously he has passed away. The drummer is his son and te hat is representing his father

NEW to your channel.. the heart stairway video.. didn't know if u knew John Bonzo Bonham's SON is on DRUMS. That makes it special. In his daddy's "seat" as we lost Bonzo
What an honor that would to get a standing ovation from led Zeppelin
The drummer is Jason Bonham. His dad was Led Zeppelin's Drummer John Bonham. The hats were a tribute to John, because he was famous for wearing Bowler hats like his son is wearing, for performances. A 'tip of the hat' shall we say, since we lost John in 1980.

That wasn't just a bowler hat like his dad's he was wearing, it was one of his dad's actual hats.
John Bonham played a lucite Ludwig drum set. I wonder if Jason is playing his dad’s kit here. (Because that’d be really, really cool.) 😎
Jason had been playing with heart for quite a while; it wasn’t a secret.
I love the energy of your anticipation.
@@gunhedd5375 it is. It has John Bonhams Led Zep emblem on the front, the three intertwined circles. Robert Plant, in an interview, stated that it was one of the things that made him emotional.
They’re all still so beautiful. She’s always been amazing. You gotta get to know some Heart to really understand why they cried.
Side note: Zep did not know Jason would be there that night. Prior to the show, they invited Jason, but he told them he had previous plans and couldn't be there. Then he showed up, and did his dad proud.
Jason said.. it broke his heart to tell the rest of LZ he could not make it, because he did not want to spoil the surprise
I'm sure it did. There's a lot of love there. You can see it.
Wow! I didn't know that they were not aware of his participation! Awesome!
He made the remaining members proud as well. I'm sure they all feel like uncles to him.
I didn't know that. Great story
Absolutely the *Best.* *Kennedy.* *Center.* *Honors.* *Show.* *EVER.* !!!
AGREED!!!!
100%
The hats are a tribute to John Bonham van.. RIP... His son Jason is on the drums
the fact that Ann's voice can be heard nice and clear over an entire choir and orchestra...while she was SICK WITH THE FLU...speaks to her legendary voice and status. Only Ann and Nancy could do this.
Wait, she had the flu?!?! DAMN!!! WHAT A BADASS!!!!
You got that right! There's a reason they were called the female
Led Zeppelin back in the day. Plus don't forget the fact that Ann was 61 years old at this time!
Huge props to the sound tech/s during sound check getting everything dialed in so we COULD hear her over everything else without anything feeling like it was blasting or subpar.
and the sound mixer for the show. 🙃
And.. she was 62. Still powerful!
Heart has been doing Led Zeppelin since the early 70's . Nobody covers Zeppelin like Heart !
Legends honoring legends in a room full of legends.
Try as I might, I can't watch this without crying. One of the best tribute performances of all time.
Every single time
got something in my eye as well.

Even Zeppelin would probably say this was the best live version ever hats off to Ann and Nancy with credit to Led Zeppelin.
Jimmy was reliving every note of that solo. Legendary.

Imagine the Memories that are flooding thier minds hearing their song
So glad you did this, but crying at 7am in the morning isn't ideal.😢
tribute to the original drummer who used to wear this hat and sadly passed away. his son is the drummer here with the same hat

I so love that you are showing this. I have been a Led fan for 35 yes. ... Heart did an amazing job with this dedication ♥️♥️♥️🎶🎵🎼🎼💯🎶🎵🎼🎵🎶🎶🎼
I had a huge smile on my face during your whole reaction. I love how much you enjoyed this performance, because it was simply amazing. Thanks so much for helping to spread the joy.
I really miss Heart! They done this song justice. What a great tribute.... such emotions watching this
To be the son of the greatest drummer of all time and to one day perform one of the best songs ever in front of the best band ever is so incredible and it chokes me up everytime stuff like this happens only once a lifetime. So happy for jason
The only thing better than listening to a truly great song for the first time… a song that blows you away, changes your outlook on life, gives you hope or moves you in some way you can’t really explain…. Is watching a good friend listen to it for the first time and seeing that it has the same effect on them as it did you. Watching your reaction to this video reminded me of that good friend and all the great music we shared with each other over the years. She’s been gone for a while now, but for a few short minutes this morning, she was right there with me, listening to Heart perform the best cover of a song I never fully appreciated as much as I do now. Thank you.
Dude I absolutely love when you are enjoying a song the smile on your face is absolutely infectious. Stay blessed🙏🙏🙏
I get chills every time I watch this
Can you imagine giving this performance in front of not only the band who made it but also your childhood idols. That's what they did.
I don't know of any others that couled have pulled that off. Simply beautiful tribute. And no pressure, the GOATS were right there...
Heart covers of LZ are always amazing! They did Black Dog and Rock and Roll a lot and the young Ann Wilson singing Rock n Roll is the best version of the song you can get!
Me too! 61 and I have to watch it every once in a while and have some tears to flow
