Heart, the iconic rock band led by sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, paid a memorable tribute to Led Zeppelin with their performance at the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors. During this prestigious event, Heart delivered a powerful rendition of Led Zeppelin's classics "Black Dog" and "Stairway to Heaven." Their performance was particularly notable for Ann Wilson's impressive vocal delivery and Nancy Wilson's evocative guitar work. The rendition was widely acclaimed for capturing the spirit of Led Zeppelin's original recordings while adding Heart's unique flair. The tribute was a highlight of the evening, reflecting the profound influence Led Zeppelin had on rock music and showcasing Heart's own enduring talent and respect for their predecessors.
Please take note that Ann Wilson was 62 years old when this was taped. Amazing!
Saw her and Tripsitter in concert last year and she still sounds amazing at the young old age of 74.
It always amazes me to realize that about so many artists I like...70 years old, 80 years old, 90... How is everyone getting so old when I haven't changed at all?
The lady is the greatest female rock vocalist ever !
I raise you Stevie Nicks
@@craigedwards3899I’ll see you Linda Ronstadt.
@@kaydantonio3719 Still prefer Stevie
I’d like to include Grace Slick and JANIS JOPLIN. Oh, how about Joni Mitchell and Carole King?!!
I beg to differ sir. I believe Linda Ronstadt has her beat by far.
When you can make Robert Plant cry you know you did a great job!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Most amazing thing about Ann's performance is that she had the flu and 103 degree temp when she sang this.
🫨 she is amazing
Lol no she didn't.. That was David Draiman from the rock band "Disturbed" when he sang "Sound of Silence" on the Conan show!
She is 62 at this performance.
@@suevan50 and sounded like she was still in her prime 🔥 She still tours today at 75, Ann's a beast baby 😁🔥🔥
@@suevan50 She lives an hour and a half from me ❤️
Having to play that iconic guitar solo in front of Jimmy Page.... what pressure. Great reaction guys!
Can't even imagine. Beautiful Jimmy Page sigh
Worth noting Robert Plant saying "not bad" to Jimmy Page as that solo gets underway :)
The guitar solo is played by Shane Fontayne (Michael Barakan), who has quite a résumé:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shane_Fontayne
I first heard him in the '70s with the Woodstock, NY-based band Johnny Average and the Falcons.
Jimmy was rocking out to it, too. I think it got his seal of approval
*The drummer is the son of Led Zeppelin's late drummer. He surprised them! Heart is ICONIC, with nearly 50 years of hits. PLEASE check out "Crazy On You," "Barracuda," "Alone," and "Magic Man." They are incredible.*
Robert Plants reaction when they introduced Jason Bonham was because he had invited him to attend this with the band and Jason told him he couldn't go with them because he was already booked for something! The something was this!
Haha! I never heard that. Great story!
he was also playing his dad's old drum kit.
@@patrickcurran-d4vand wore his bollar hat
That's freaking awesome! Didn't know that. Thank ya for the 411. That's awesome! DC FROM KY IS OUT!! BEZ!!
Ann and Nancy Wilson are the queens of rock and roll!
Robert Plant said this is the only cover that he approved. Talk about getting the highest praise! 🎉❤ 🎉
I have watched that video at least 122 times and will watch it the rest of my life. I absolutely adore LZ and this tribute. Make sure to watch all of the performances in this tribute. Lenny, Kid Rock, Foo Fighters...so freakin' good...
I don't care who you are, or how famous, to hear a song that has been so loved for so long by so many, performed so respectfully and brilliantly as that was, must be a very emotional moment.
Love Yo-Yo Ma rocking out.
Yo Yo goes unnoticed to almost everyone. He was enjoying it for sure.
It's my favorite reaction! You're right- most people don't notice- or know who he is.
wow i didnt notice him
@@ineverswag In the longer clip you get to see him longer.
@@BethHutter Ha, most don't even know who Zeppelin is {or Heart, obviously}
Oh Yea..... Gotta do Alot HEART.. ❤❤ Ann n Nancy❤❤ Best Women Rockers, w Alot Smooth n Soul.
Ann and Nancy Wilson were and are tremendous Zeppelin fans, and Zeppelin was a huge inspiration for their band "Heart."
I cry every time I watch this. The brilliant Ann and Nancy Wilson killed it!
Ann Wilson is possibly the best female rock singer of all time. Definitely worth checking out more HEART.
Plant is clearly fighting back tears all through this.
Ann Wilson is one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time. This was one of the best covers ever. I saw it when it was originally aired on TV, and I was blown away. I was already a huge Heart fan, but this really brings their greatness to a newer audience. Definitely check out their catalog, Magic Man, Barracuda, Crazy on you, & Alone for starters.
It’s my understanding that Heart is the only band that has the permission of Led Zeppelin to perform their music.
Stevie Nicks has been performing "Rock and Roll" live for 20 years; including her current tour...
@@rufullmtit??? Heart has been around for like closer to 45-50 years. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
@@stephanhamilton2083 53 years to be exact. My reply was intended to let you know that any number of artists have had permission to perform Zep music - duh...
Robert Plant is so emotional because the choir is wearing John Bonham's signature bowler hats and John was Robert's best friend and Jason is Robert's godson. You can literally see Jimmy mouthing the notes of the solo. Love it❤Great reaction and Peace out guys ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
Was looking for this one.👍🥂
Best cover of a rock song, ever.
Battle of Evermore Heart cover definitely rivals this
@@tektoniks_architects Amen.
I've seen and heard this many times and, imho, it is THE best cover of any song by anyone, ever.
Heart is Awesome! And the Lead Singer, Ann Wilson is phenomenal!! I love your reactions! Thanks!
Maybe the best cover in history.
thanks
Was gonna say same thing. Also saw Heart do this live. Amazing!
She's the greatest female rock singer of all time!
There's a lady named Janice Joplin, you need to look into.
@EdKoller yes but Blues, not really rock. Problem is that rock is too broad a category
@@roadkill7314 really hard to pigeon hole Zeppelin into one genre. Regardless, love bros reacts.
Jason was 14 when his father, John, passed. John and Robert Plant were very close friends. After John's passing, Robert remained in Jason's life throughout. I have a feeling Robert was possibly watching Jason Bonham play that song, and the memories of days gone by came flooding in. Just my thought. ✌
I'm almost positive, Robert asked Jason to come to this event but, Jason told him, "he couldn't make it." Seeing Jason on stage was a huge surprise to Robert.
So he was emotional seeing his best friend's son, which is also Robert's godson, playing his Dad's drum kit and wearing a bowler hat like his father wore.
Thank you gentlemen!! I love Ann and Nancy Wilson!! I love Heart!! I love Led Zep!!! This tribute was phenomenal and I loved every single moment of it!! Thank you for this great reaction video!!
Heart did AWESOME!! I grew up listening to Heart. These sisters had many many hits!! I love strong women singers. Heart is #1
It takes balls of cast iron to cover a LZ song and even bigger balls to cover Stairway ! The Wilson sisters put on one of the greatest performances in rock history! Fucking 🔥!
Esp for the guitarist having to play Jimmy's famous riff live to Jimmy
@@mandarinlearner you’re so right! Talk about pressure!
@@edwardcapobianco2975 Amen.
Heart began in the mid 70's. Ann was 62 at this performance. Best place to start is "Crazy On You" with extended intro showing off Nancy's guitar skills.
Heart is a very good rock band in their own right. Great 70s and 80s catalog
You must check out Heart! "Barracuda", "Magic Man"...those are 2 good ones to start with and there's many more Heart hits that will make you love that you went down that rabbit hole!
Yeah, Robert Plant did shed a tear.
That was John Bonham's son playing drums. John was the original drummer for Led Zeppelin. Ann Wilson of Heart was 62 yrs old here. Heart is an iconic group and Ann is the GOAT of female rock singers.
Heart - Barracuda - If Looks Could Kill - Magic Man - Nothing at All - Crazy on You - Alone - Dreamboat Annie - Dog and the Butterfly - These Dreams
Heart (the Wilson sisters) are legendary in their own right. Nancy is one of the best guitarists Anne's voice is a Powerhouse if you haven't seen it yet go ahead and check out Barracuda live🔥☺️
Can’t believe y’all haven’t checked out Heart ! Tons of hits ! Start with Barracuda!
This is a masterpiece. Incredible work, talent & artisanship for this one. Beautiful!

Thank you for watching this! Full circle. Not asking for a reaction video, but if you have time it is worth it to watch the entire Kennedy honors to LED, it is worth your time. As you mentioned the drummer is the son of the original drummer. I believe Robert Plant's stoic response and teary eyes comes from not only the beautiful version of their song but also seeing the drummer. He mentioned in an interview later that they, as a group had wished they had John Bonham's son with them to accept the Kennedy Honor and were regretting not having him there. The first time they saw him was during this performance. Definitely an emotional time for them all.
Robert is Jason’s godfather & he invited Jason to the Honors, Jason said he had another commitment. So the guys were so surprised to see him, Jason was wearing his father’s hat & playing on his father’s drum kit. Other the Led Zeppelin’s version, this is the only version to do this beautiful song justice, but it took so many more the four geniuses to do it. I believe Robert did tear up, maybe for how beautiful the song was done, or pride in his godson & missing John. Thank you once again for your reaction.
You NEVER heard of HEART? You young pup.This is legends paying tribute to legends. Try listening to BARRACUDA next!!
70s Heart with "Barracuda".... but cannot forget later 80s Heart... totally 80s and Great despite some just prefer 70s Hear... 80s Heart still IS ICONIC and with their Huge Worldwide hit - "Alone". Some 70s groups DID also evolve into the 80s sound also and no-one should diss it as it proves being Iconic.
Fantastic
I've seen Heart twice, in the '70's. They credit LZ as being an inspiration to them and cover several of their songs in concert {although never this one as far as I know}. This performance was full of love and respect, and it shows.
This never gets old!!!
The members of Led Zppelin asked Jason Bonham to join them in the box in memory of his father. He told them he couldn’t because he had a prior commitment. He totally surprised them by playing at their tribute. ✌️❤️🤘
Yes the have yhe entire honors show on tube you guys should watch it, the whole thing is just Amazing
The whole time I keep imagining the pressure on Ann Wilson to sing this song in front of Robert Plant and on Nancy Wilson to play that acoustic intro and then the crushing pressure on Shayne Fontayne to play Jimmy Page's guitar solo with Page looking on! And President Obama and Michelle are there too! In the end it was an extraordinary tribute, and it still shocks me that Plant was so emotional despite having played and heard this song a million times over half-a-century.
Heart's discography is definitely worth a look!! Another 70s and 80s fantastic folk rock group!! Another great female vocalist from their Era is Pat Benetar!! Check it out!!💜💜
You wanna hear Ann's range listen to her sing Unchained Melody live.
It is my favorite version too❤
Ok. Y'all need to get on Heart ASAP!! I bet you know their music though, especially the 80's music they put out. Anne Wilson has one of the best voices in music across the board. Nancy is an amazing guitarist, and I am a huge Stan of theirs, lol. Love them.
What a showdown! Didn't yet see you three speechless for some seconds after the song ended. Think you finally recognized what musical works of art Led Zeppelin left us. And the performance on stage surely impressed as well.
Let the good times roll!
This whole performance was absolutely amazing👍👏👏👏🎼🎵🎶🌹
Heart is a rabbit hole, in and of itself, but Ann and Nancy have been Led Zeppelin fans for many years and, in addition to their own songs, have several Led Zeppelin covers as well. My favorite is their cover of "Battle of Evermore". Check out Heart's songs too. You will love them (I saw them live in '85 or '86- -great live too).
I really enjoy Hearts remake of Led Zeppelin’s The Ballad of Evermore, too. Honestly, I think you’ll love their discography.
There is a full version you should listen to. You're able to hear Ann better over the music and there they didn't cut as much of the song.
Best comment I've seen about this video - "you know you've done good when you've brought Robert Plant to tears".
Ann and Nancy Wilson have often been referred to as the female Zeppelin, a rock band with diverse songs and a vocalist in Ann that rivals the power and glory of Plant's banshee wails. Great stuff
Watch the entire Kennedy Honors. I believe this was the edited version. There might be a longer version somewhere on youtube. But you should watch Jack Black's introduction. You'll get a chuckle out of it at least LOL
The entire tribute is fabulous. There were several covers performed by individual acts. Lenny K, Foo Fighters, Kid Rock and others. Heart's catalog is iconic rock. Barracuda, Magic Man and many other great songs. Live clips of them in the Seventies show that both of those women, besides being killer musicians, were drop dead gorgeous young women.
Heart is a band. Ann and Nancy are the driving force of the band and BOTH sing.
great cover, but you should check out the unabridged version. This one was cut down for TV
@jamesnorrisbarrett8927 Please let the reactors know how or where to find the unabridged version. I agree it sounds like they would enjoy it as they said they loved "Heart's" rendition! THNX!
I'm a huge Zeppelin fan ,heard so many versions of of this song. Heart kicked it out of the park! 🤟😎
You should watch the whole show
It’s amazing!!!
Heart has some great songs of their own, but they have also done some amazing Led Zeppelin cover songs like "Kashmir" and "Rock and Roll".
I don't know how many times I've watched this performance, but this won't be the last.
I'd recommend you guys check out Heart's ' Magic Man'
Watched the whole thing live as it aired. It was an INCREDIBLE night ❤
There are a lot of Kennedy Center performances you would love. The show brings out the best every year. This perhaps, is the best tribute ever.
YES! React to vintage Heart! You will really appreciate them!
More Heart please, guys! Ann Wilson has one of the best rock voices of all time. Nancy Wilson also sings beautifully and plays a mean guitar. One of the first bands that proved that “girls can rock”, and when they started out, they used to cover a lot of Zeppelin tunes. Led Zep is Ann and Nancy’s fave band, so it was meaningful for them, too. And having Jason on drums makes it all the more special. Just saw Jason 3 weeks ago, playing on Sammy Hagar’ tour - he was awesome, as usual.
Robert Plant was tearing up. That was a beautiful tribute. The old one that seems young looked a little sour puss, but that's per usual. I wouldn't expect him to really "get" the significance of Led Zeppelin. He obviously missed that ride. Heart actually knows all those guys, as they were contemporaries. And, yes, Jason Bonham played in the place of his father (RIP).
Saw Heart tour with Jason Bonham, shortly after this. A set of Heart with a couple Zep songs then a Zep set with Jason. Was great.
That entire show of the Kennedy center tribute to Led Zeppelin was just awesome!
This is indeed iconic. But do yourselves a favor and dig into some more Heart. They, themselves, are rock legends.
If you have never heard of Heart, you don't know what your missing!!! Check them out.
Definitely should check out the entire tribute to them. starting with Jack Blacks introduction
You guys must do Heart. Great rock band from the 70s. Robert Plant only likes Ann and Nancy's version. He seemed stoic because he didn't know John Bonham's son Jason would be drumming. So he was tearing up a few times.
Heart is fantabulous. Great catelog of hits.
Please go down the Heart rabbit hole. You definitely won't regret it.
Yes , go down into Hearts discography. Robert was overwhelmed and seeing Jason really took his emotions to another level. John Bonham was a really close friend and they were with Jason from his beginning. They love him.
Have watched this performance many times, and it always brings me to tears. ❤
Ann Wilson is recognized as one of the greatest female rock singers ever. Heart has been inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They are legends. Jon Bonham passed away years ago. His son was a very young kid when he died. Having his son representing him on the drums in this performance is legendary.
The bowler hat Jason was wearing was a tribute to his father and if you noticed the choir were all wearing bowler hats too. Jason was also playing his father's orange drum kit he used with Zep. Robert is Jason's godfather, so these were all things contributing to the overall sentimental nature of this special performance. Side notes: Heart has always sited Zep as a major influence for them growing up and as a band. This is easily confirmed by the fact they frequently covered Zep songs in their concerts and sometimes on recorded albums as well. Often it was the song Rock n roll, but sometimes they would switch it up. You can imagine how special (and nerve racking) this was for them, but also meaningful and important, so they took it very seriously. On the other hand, Robert Plant was not a fan of Zeppelin covers generally, especially Stairway to Heaven, but in this case it was easy to see it took on a different meaning for him, starting with the surprise of seeing Jason introduced on drums. You could see the ice melt as the warmth and glow of this performance overtook him with the alternative arrangement that revealed itself in layers with strings, horns, and the choir, 1st small then huge. The performance was masterfully built and layered to slowly take you by surprise. I love it. Brings a tear to my eye every time.❤
If you can find it LZ was on David Letterman the following night, you can hear their reaction.
Ann Wilson has always been a top interpreter of Zeppelin.
I saw Heart back in the 70s n their version of Zep’s Rock n Roll was 🔥!
Anne and Nancy grew up idolizing Zeppelin, and had essentially been practicing that song together since their childhood, Heart is the only band I'm aware of that Zeppelin has ever given permission to cover them, and they do ALOT Anne is Robert's younger song twin, you are going to love Anne, Nancy sings beautifully too, Anne plays flute, in a few of their songs,
My favorite non-ballads from the sisters are
Even it up
Little Queen
Sylvan song/Dream of the Archer
Magazine
Heartless
High time
Hyjinx
Have fun!
You should check out the complete Kennedy Center honors for Led Zeppelin. Jack Black is hysterical. The other acts that do Led Zeppelin material also do it justice.
You should check out the entire Led Zep tribute at this event!!!
Can you imagine your baby grew up into that? I can't imagine all the memories that came back to Robert. They made this song/tune really into a big composition?
Please, please go down the Heart rabbit hole
Ann Wilson has the greatest womans voice in rock-n-roll history !
No question about it and I'd put her in the top 10 overall and shes been doing it for decades.
The wildest thing is that her voice is getting better with age ❤
Heart has quite the song library... I bet there are songs in there that you know but you didn't know it was a Heart song. Many hits oh so many hits.... enjoy 😎 👍
That is the greatest cover song ever and the youngster in your group needs another look at that video... this time with a bit more respect. Taking the headphones off... not cool !
Just sit the song out next time ( off camera ) if its not for you. We all have different tastes in music ✌️😎
Nancy ❤ nailing every note with perfection as always as with Led Zeppelin looking down at you has gotta be tough... her voice was a little drowned I wish her mic was a bit higher but she was their next to Ann.
Jason Bonham doing his dad proud behind the drum kit... he could probably play that song in his sleep.
Go down the Heart rabbit hole! You won't regret it!
The drummer's son played the drums, in his father's iconic hat....and at the end the whole choir were also wearing his hat....moving or the band for sure...
Amazing performance of this song. Consider this, LZ's incredible live performances of this song requires only 4 people on stage. This was a great performance, but about 2 dozen musicians and a full choir are needed to do it! For Heart, listen to "Alone" both studio as well as a live performance. Her voice is amazing.
Love your reactions but not sure what your waiting for to react to Heart. Great group as you could find out. Hopefully you guys go down Heart's rabbit hole soon. Maybe start with "Barracuda". Many songs to choose from.
I would love to see you guys react to Jack Black's full introduction to Led Zeppelin at this tribute. Great old video footage of Zep and hysterical verbal introduction.
Hearts Nancy Wilson is awesome but Robert Plant hits the "feeling"deeper!!!I heard this when I was 10 years old in 1970 and it possessed me ,it was and still is the best, heaviest,soul fullest,deepest , spookiest and emotional of all Rock music,I saw them at the LA Forum in 1977cost me 200$,my 2 weeks pay check,so worth it!!!
Those ladies are in their 70's!
Love, love, love this! Always gives me chills ❤
It is a VERY High Honor to be a Kennedy Honors inductee. They have the Best of the Best to pay homage to all the inducted artists at the ceremony.
I remember those guys, we were young together..
