    The story behind the tears is that Robert Plant asked Jason Bonham ( his godson ) to attend this event with him in honor of his dad the late drummer of LZ John Bonham but Jason said he had another engagement and couldn't attend but then Jason walked on stage with Heart surprising them all and sat at his late dad's drum kit and the emotion was overwhelming

    Ann Wilson has one of the most powerful female voices. And her sister Nancy can play a mean guitar. This is one of the best tributes to Led Zeppelin with Ann & Nancy doing the classic song "Stairway To Heaven". No one else could have pulled it off as well. "Heart" have had so many great hits such as "Magic Man", "Crazy On You", "Barracuda", "What About Love", "Never", "Dog & Butterfly", "These Dreams", "Alone" etc.

    I love Heart, but when I first heard that they were going to be covering this at the Kennedy Center Honors I thought it was going to be a train wreck. Boy did they prove me wrong. Probably the best cover to any song I've ever heard, which only made me love Heart even more. I can only imagine how stressful it had to be to sing one of the most iconic songs ever written to the bank that made it famous. I think you summed it up perfectly. This song is a gift to mankind.

    I have to agree, it is one of the greatest covers. You can even see that the remaining members of Led Zep enjoyed it too. It is my understanding that the band members invited the son of the band's drummer, John Bonham, who has since passed away, to join them at the tribute. He made up and excuse to not attend and surprised them by playing drums in the tribute band.

    I also wonder if, is this the 1st time ever in their lives, that the members of Zep have actually gotten to experience the magic of this song, as in how it is to be a listener of it, to HEAR it and its mastery, because, this performance is so bloody amazing, there would be zero room for the 'musician' in them all to come out and ruin it by critiquing every little thing, subconsciously. The performance was so consuming that I honestly believe that it was a certain type of magic bestowed on them that night, yes it was a tribute, but I believe it actually bestowed the most reverent gift of all to them, they got to hear and feel it, as we did. That is why Robert could barely contain his emotion, while he has played this for an eternity, he finally got to EXPERIENCE it. What a gift.

    I apologise if you already may know this because I am a huge Heart and particularly Ann Wilson fan!
    But back when Heart first started out and did the clubs, they got the nickname “little zep” because they covered a lot of their songs!
    Also Ann go the role of lead vocalist because she was the only one who could hit them notes! 👌🏼😂🙌🏼
