FIRST TIME HEARING 'Heart - Stairway To Heaven (LIVE at Kennedy Honors Center) | GENUINE REACTION
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- I remember first hearing Stairway To Heaven almost 8 months ago now and thinking what a truly unique and powerful song it was. It was only a few weeks ago that I realised Heart had done a tribute to Led Zeppelin by performing Stairway To Heaven LIVE at Kennedy Honors Centre. Heart are a band that I still haven't heard much from but I do know they are great musicians and I am looking forward to diving deeper into their stuff!
Here is my reaction to hearing Heart - Stairway To Heaven Live At Kennedy Honors Center for the first time. I hope you enjoy it!

When you do a cover as a tribute that brings the original band to tears, You know you've done a good job.
Robert had tears in his eyes because Jason is playing for his father. He actually told KCH that he didn't want to hear anyone cover Stairway. They promised him he would not be disappointed!
Ann Wilson was asked what it was like to perform this in front of Zeppelin. She said "it was like reading the Bible to Jesus"
Smfh…a STOLEN SONG LIKE MOST OF ZEPPELINS HITS…thieving C*NTS
Oh my gosh... that's so clever and so true!
I love her.
I've never heard that....that is the greatest line I think I've ever heard....the Wilson sisters are legends in their own right
Love that
So, as noted, the drummer was the son of the Led Zeppelin drummer, playing his dads drum kit. His dad was also famous for wearing the brown bowler hat, which is why Jason had one on, as did the choir.
Page or Plant invited Jason to join them in the audience weeks before this performance. Jason declined, stating he had a “prior engagement”.
@@ceeceeriderPlant is Jason’s godfather & had invited him, you can see their surprise, & how proud the are of him.
Jason didn't just have a bowler on, that Was Bonzo's actual hat!
@@sicotshit7068 yes! I knew someone would provide me with the details :) thanks!
Love love your reaction ♥️. I'm a big Zepp fan. I've seen this tribute dozens of times and I get chills everytime.
She didn't just sing that song, she respected it. ❤
Well said
❤
She respected the hell out of it ❤
The drummer is Jason Bonham. He is the son of John Bonham, Led Zeppelin’s deceased drummer.
Its seeing Jason look up to the heavens as if to say “that’s for you Dad” at the end that gets me every time
Just reading your comment brought tears to my eyes 😢
The gospel treatment is absolutely genius.
Talk about an incredible moment, I love the look on the face of Jimmy Paige during that solo he was like "yea you nailed it kid"
Yes he was, Jimmy loves musicians, he never puts any guitarist down like others have. That to me also makes him the greatest guitarist ever.
Shayne Fontaine in not a kid & has been around since the 70’s, he knew the Zep boys
He is also 70 years old. Just sayin’.
The drummer is the son of the original drummer of Led Zeppelin which made this tribute mean even more.
The asian looking fellow in the audience vibing is yoyo ma , worlds greatest cellist
Ms. Bonnie Raitt was there too!!
Ann was 62 years old in that video. She's 74 now.
She is a legitimate legend.
As a 53 year old man, I cried when I first saw this
My husband and I said it was the best thing the Obamas ever did.
@@LadyIarConnacht So, recovering from a massive recession and crashing housing market caused by Bush means nothing? Saving the country from 2 pandemics isn't anything? Kiliing Bin Laden means nothing? Your husband is a moron
I'm 60 me too.
I cry every time I see a reaction to this.
@@LadyIarConnacht That's easy to say
Robert Plant actually asked Jason Bonham to accompany him to this tribute event, but Jason told him he couldn't join him because he had a prior commitment. That's why Robert points at him at the start of the video.
If true that is Fkin awesome.
@@omgbeardrivingits absolutely true
Note, Jason's "Salute" to the band at the end also.
That's so cool😊
@@omgbeardrivingyes true.
Darling boy, it does my old heart so happy to see young people appreciate our music. Cheers mate❤
Ann was 62 when they did this and wasn't expecting to be asked to perform this song. And they did it with two 30 minute rehearsals with Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) on drums. Jason Bonham's appearance was such a secret that he didn't even rehearse with them.
Wow- I did not know that, thanks for filling in that piece of information !!!
They kicked all of their butts,!! And in their mid 60s😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤robert prob by Jason he's his God father
They were ready. They always did Led Zepplin covers when touring. They were fans.
I've probably seen this 20 times.... watery eyes every time...
Jason Bonham on drums. Several facts you might be interested in
1). Robert is Jason’s godfather. John Bonham was Roberts closest snd dearest friend. Jason and Robert are close. And of course Jimmy and JPJ have known Jason since he was in diapers
2). The band had invited Jason to be with them for the tribute, in honor of his father, but Jason said he could not because he had a gig in LA. So it was a complete shock to the guys when Jason walked out on the stage. ( He was introduced when he walked out on the stage but you evidently missed that.)
3) Jason has his own Zeppelin tribute band which is excellent. I’ve seen them live snd they ROCK. If they tour near you, Molly, you should go see them. They must come to Birmingham occasionally?
4). Robert has said that he was crying for several reasons. Of course, he still misses his friend John so much and wished he could have been there with them. But he said that he was emotional also because he felt out of time and place: They sang that song as young men who thought of themselves as rebels. And Robert was definitely a hippie in his heart. So in his mind, he was remembering how optimistic we had all been then…all that promise,,, and how it had all been lost. He was feeling the loss of what could have been. Sadness, nostalgia. And wondering how in hell he and this song he wrote the lyrics for when he was 23, , had ended up at a fancy gala in 2012 with The President of the US.
The old man looking back at his youth and wondering “how did I end up here”.
He shared all these thoughts in an interview on a Canadian podcast I watched several years ago. I made an impression on me.
oh my good. and i have been so hard on this version. Ashes on my head, I'm sorry for that.......................We are all human, and sometimes we hurt far too quickly. Sometimes we are impulsive out of an emotion. We don't know so much about other people's backgrounds and are so quick to judge, especially nowadays.
FYI… This is a SHORTENED version of Heart’s Led Zeppelin performance, it ISN’T the whole thing. (It was shortened for broadcasting purposes.)
The entire performance is a couple of minutes longer and is SO. MUCH. BETTER. (This shortened version feels “homogenized” by comparison.)
The whole performance IS also on YT; it says “Full Version” in the heading.
Yeah it ruins the best part - the choir reveal. Thanks for tipping me off. I can’t even bring myself to watch. I don’t think I’ve seen a reaction channel get it right yet even though so many bitch about it in the comments
All performers who came onstage after Heart had already played Zeppelin songs in tribute. Heartfelt and fittingly so emotional.
@@benkyle76 🤭Once in awhile someone picks the right one. I’m so OCD (and I don’t want to “waste” my time/be disappointed) that I always just FF to the beginning scene of the vid: The full version starts with an outside shot of the bldg (and I think it says “Full Version” at the top); the shortened vid starts w Lenny Kravitz onstage/introducing the drummer onstage… if I see that, I just turn it off.😜
Abbreviated versions are created by people with no soul.
@@thenannymoh RIGHT🫶
This is one of the finest tributes that you will ever listen to! Robert was even tearing up! This version is just beautiful!
Robert was tearing up. Jimmy was smiling and laughing
@@helenespaulding7562 I knew it was one of them 🤣
@@jefffrey4844 lol. Well it does make a bit of difference ….they’re not interchangeable. 😉
@@helenespaulding7562 fair enough!
I really like that they got Heart to do it, who are also classic rockers and not some really young people. It was great to see that Ann and Nancy still got it, and to see RP tear up, it was amazing.
Imagine the sheer terror that guitarist must have felt playing one of the most iconic guitar solos in history in front of the man who created it, no pressure.
No pressure, in front of the band, the President, Yo Yo Ma etc
I've thought that too. I watch him closely and he's got it. Even Jimmy seemed impressed. He nailed it and seemed confident.
@@macfilms9904Jimmy Page is the only one I’d want to impress.
Shane Fontayne Yes please.
Loved Jimmy Page's reaction, he was loving it.
Ann Wilson has one of the greatest voices in rock history.
That was the definition of flawless. Whoever did the production is a genius.
For me, this is the greatest live performance I've ever seen. So much emotion, and everything done to perfection. Dude, Jason Bonham on drums absolutely k1lled that song. The hats were a great touch, and Robert getting teary....man this was good.
Ann is easily one of if not the greatest female vocalist to ever live! Instant full body goosebumps when she starts opening up!!❤
Ann and Nancy Wilson will always be legends!
This is why 50,60,70 music will always be better
Imagine not being able to appreciate music like this. What a poor life that would be! Good on you for opening up to it.
Talk about aging like fine wine 🍷 Ann and Nancy are in there 60s for performance.
They said no one can sing that better. Ann said “hold my beer”. Heart opened for LedZep for a tour in 70s
Can you imagine how nerve-wracking this was for the musicians and Anne and Nancy Wilson, to play in front of the masters? And they nailed it! I got goosebumps too!
I am 60 years old. I was a lead singer in rock bands for 30 years and we performed this song, there was nothing like singing this and having 1000 people singing every word with you. This song was the soundtrack to our life. One of Heart's best songs is Dog and the butterfly. Amazing, beautiful and epic.
My sister's fav Heart song too. ❤
Ann Wilson has one of the best voices in rock. She is almost 70 years old and can still belt it with the best of them.
I saw Heart live in 1978 and again 10 years later. Incredible. She absolutely nailed it in both shows.
She's actually 74! She is too badass for words.
She still sends shivers down my spine.
Good Canadian girls!
@@GoodsEnuff Ann Dustin Wilson was born on June 19, 1950, in San Diego, California.
Nancy Lamoureux Wilson was born March 16, 1954, in San Francisco, California.
Is that in Canada?
@@shane8915 obviously not wise ass. I thought they were Canadian. They lived ion Canada and home base was Vancouver BC Canada.
Jason Bonham on drums, like his dad, and the choir wearing the hats that John Bonham wore
You don't have to apologize to not be here all the time. We all have lives outside of you-tube & internet, so it's the same for you. Glad to see you back & have a nice day.
IT IS THE BEST TRIBUTE EVER OF THIS SONG.....AMAZING, the hole concert is brilliant
I’m 53 and started subscribing to your channel recently. I love seeing younger folks discovering not only the original Stairway to Heaven, but this AWESOME tribute version by Heart. Great reaction, dude!
Another great tribute is seeing Prince play guitar in "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."
Prince's performance is f-ing nuts.
Such an incredible performance all round. I adore Tom Petty
@@mariannetuite7411 Me too. I have such regret of not seeing Tom Petty live when it was possible.
@@KabukiKidoh, same
@@mariannetuite7411 Tom Petty was the shit.
I told you! Heart also covered Zep’s Battle of Evermore. Jason Bonham is the son of the late John Bonham, drummer for Led Zeppelin
No pressure to do the iconic guitar solo in front of the creator of that solo. Masterfully staged I get tears listening to Jason tearing up the drums like his father did.
Dude Shane Fontayne has been around since the 70’s, he knew the Zeppelin boys… no nerves, just did his thing!
@@Rock_Snob Yes -- Shane Fontayne (Mick Barakan) is the real deal, especially his work with Lone Justice in the '80s. Here he's playing the Fender Bass VI with them:
ruclips.net/video/rcl8xx5tPbc/видео.html
I first heard of him when he was with the Johnny Average band in Woodstock, NY, early '80s:
ruclips.net/video/PQQ3h2afvTY/видео.html
@@montalbans I was lucky enough to see Lone Justice in LA back in the early 80’s, excellent band!
I read an interview Robert Plant gave to Huff Post, where he said that after this performance, he felt that this song no longer belonged to them. It belonged to the stratosphere.
Kennedy center tributes are awesome, famous artists honoring others,some that were honored, sting,billy joel ,elton john,bruce springsteen,paul simon , paul mccartney, all worth listening 👍
When John Bonham died the band, Led Zeppelin, stopped performing. The loss to them was traumatic and that's how they mourned John Bonham.
That John's son Jay was the drummer for that tribute event (Kennedy Center Honors) made it extra sweet.
BTW, let me speak for us olde folk subscribers (I'm 78) when I say that I/we appreciate the respect that you show for these "greats" and their music.
I was exactly 4 and a half months old when Bonzo died, my dad would always speak of the bond between Robert and John when I was growing up
I’m 44 now and Bonzo is still the greatest to ever sit behind a drum kit to me
If you're going to perform that song in public, you want to be an exceptional artist. If you're going to perform that song in public in front of the guys who wrote it, performed it and made it famous, you'd want to be phenomenal. THEY WERE!
I also like the cover of “ Immigrant Song” by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross
Check out the vid of Ann Wilson doing it!
It’s your California
grandma, again. I was in tears watching when this was broadcast in 2012. President Obama had selected Led Zeppelin for Kennedy Honors recognition. I was Blessed to see Ann Wilson in her Ann Wilson of Heart Thing solo show in 2017 & 2018 with a backup band of only 4 musicians. She only performed very few Heart songs, but mostly covers of famous songs that held special meaning for her. They were small venues, one only 300 fans. She sounded even more incredible with just these stripped down performances. She just turned 74 and still can slay any song with her one of a kind vocals! I’m finally seeing Heart for the 1st time this December in Sacramento.
Greatest tribute ever. And to have led Zepplin’s original drummer, Jon Bonham’s, son on the drums! EPIC!!!
Darlin, I've watched this at least 30 times, cry every frickin time.
❤😊
Greatest girl band ever❤❤❤❤
Actually the rest of Heart are dudes. But a great band nonetheless!
Drummer is Jason Bonham,son of original drummer John Bonham. He passed away of overdose. Jason is wearing the hat that his dad always wore. All the choir members had the same hat.
Let the emotion flow, that’s what music is for.
Stairway to Heaven is prohibited from being played in every guitar store in America 😂
Well then tell them I’m playing heart
How many other people ignore that & play as much as can anyway before someone says something… or is it just me
Anyone that's seen Waynes World knows that 😂
No Stairway??
Stairway denied
Hi Molly the guy on the drums is the son of the original and only drummer for Zeppelin John Bonham whom passed.
Bro you gotta check out hearts song with Layne Staley “Ring them bells”
Wow I never knew that existed cool...as a female in her 60's I wasn't a big Heart fan...but add Layne can't go wrong right ? 💚🖤
Recommend checking these 2 amazing ladies Live in Seattle. Nancy’s beautiful vocals let her shine in ‘These Dreams’ and Ann blows you away with ‘Alone’ ❤
Couldn't agree more. The performance of both songs is awesome. That live version of These Dreams is better than the album version. ❤️
Heart has done other Led Zeppelin covers. "Rock and Roll" and "Kashmir" come to mind.
One thing to remember, the members of Led Zeppelin were in their early twenties when they released this song. So much talent at such a young age. They were probably thinking "I remember doing that in another lifetime".
EPIC Classic tribute to the greatest rock band ever!!
Led Zeppelin 🎵🎷🎸
I had requested that you cover this song. Who else could blow this out of the water and make Led Zepplin emotionally moved? Thanks for covering this song great job! 👍
Those sisters are the queens of rock
I don’t disagree but I’ll ad Suzi Quattro and Joan Jett. Pioneers and royalty all!
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 Totally Lit, well absolutely on fire in fact!
Robert & John Bonham were the closest of the band members.They were in band together before Zeppelin. Robert had a son that died from stomach virus in 1977.While the rest of the band stay in Los Angeles during a tour John flew back to England w/ Robert to console the family.Robert tears up because John wasnt there to celebrate with them. Glad you're feeling better
Jason is Robert's Godson.
The entire ceremony is definitely worth the watch. I think you will love seeing it from start to finish.
To be a rock, and not to roll! one of my favorite all time lyrics
Bad Wolves does a tribute to The Cranberries song Zombie that is absolutely amazing. Back story, Bad wolves asked to cover her song and the lead singer Dolores O'Riordan was going to sing on it with them but she passed away the night before.
This is just amazing no one will ever cover this song like this
One of the greatest covers of all time
Great tribute to Led Zep, ... watch the whole show if you get time, some great artists paying tribute 👍
Now you know why people suggest this to see and hear. So powerful. Watching the guys get teared up and enjoying every note. Seeing the back choir all wearing bowler hats. Imagine being the guitarist and having to do a Jimmy's solo in front of him, and also looking a bit like Jim Parsons, Sheldon, from Big Bang theory. Such an emotional video for many.
Robert and the guys asked Jason Bonham to join them for this concert not knowing he was going to be IN the concert playing his Dads drums mind you. Jason had to 'decline ' saying he had another engagement he had to attend he couldnt miss.
So they were surprised and happy to see him.
This was a brilliant performance.
Good reaction😊
Get some rest!
Some days all you need to have a good day is a little Ann and Nancy Wilson but it makes it even better that they’re singing Zepplin! Ann Wilson is in her 70s and can still kill it!
Apparently the Led Zeppelin boys had invited Jason Bonham to go with them in place of his dad and he told them that he had a prior engagement and couldn’t go. They didn’t know that he was playing for them that night until they saw him there. ♥️
Outstanding choice!! My favorite band is being honored so fantastically!! With health, you come first!!! Happy to see you back.
the cut away to Yo-Yo Ma rock’n to Stairway to Heaven says it all. Awesome tribute
I can't imagine playing a Zep song in front of Zep. Pressure. Amazing tribute.
Ann Wilson's voice never changed throughout all of career. It is still beautiful!
This is THE best tribute to my favorite band Led Zeppelin that I have ever heard. Ann Wilson is THE Rock Goddess. Best female Rock voice still. This was December 2012. Anne was 62, and singing better than almost any young singer of today. Nancy, most known for her guitar playing, is also a great singer. She was 58. Jason Bonham on drums was 46 (John Bonham’s son. John was the drummer for LZ). Imagine playing/singing one of the best known and revered rock songs in history, in front of the guys who actually wrote and performed it in the 1970’s. OMG! Then Shane Fontayne had to play the solo on the electric guitar in front of Jimmy Page, who IMO is the greatest Rock guitarist ever. F*#K! I saw this live on TV and started crying when they started, and was sobbing by the end. The song, the performance, and watching Jimmy, Robert, and John react to it - I’m crying now. Robert has said the tears were because he watched Jason, the son of his best friend and drummer of Led Zeppelin, play this song on his father’s kit. What had been, what could have been had John not died at age 32. Jason had been a baby and little kid during the Zeppelin years. Just simply amazing.
John Bonham was the drummer for Zeppelin who died and ended the band. His son Jason filled in here. He also has/had his own band called Bonham.
Yes, this was an absolutely stellar arrangement and performance. I've watched many times. Ann Wilson also does a great cover of Immigrant Song. Also the drummer is the son of the late John Bonham, original drummer of Led Zeppelin. 👍👍👍
Just imagine the memories going thru their head as they watch this amazing tribute ❤
Love it! The full version is well worth checking out for more of the band's emotional reactions if nothing else. Keep it up, mang. Maybe give The Clash a go. How about 'White Man In Hammersmith Palais'. I think you'd dig it.
Anne has a Fabulous voice I have seen Heart in concert they are we're fantastic❤️🇨🇦
This song was the last one played at every high school and youth club dance when I was a teenager. (CFB Borden, 1974-78.) I heard it so often, I knew the words by heart before I ever read the lyrics. I fondly remember the awkwardness experienced as the song transitioned from a "slow song" to up-tempo and not knowing whether my dance partner wanted to keep clinched up and just waltz through the whole thing, or move apart and step lively. Then, looking around the dance floor and realizing every other couple was experiencing the same thing. If any one song could be thought of as the background music of my youth, this is it. I never imagined that it could get any better, but then I saw this version on RUclips. Gets me right in the feels every time.
I was wondering how u were gonna get around the "NO STAIRWAY" rule....nice steerin Capn ☠️☘️
ruclips.net/video/8Qi3JERmk9E/видео.html
One of the greatest of all time performance of a great song❤❤❤❤watched this no less than 50x
Ladies and gentlemen, Sheldon Cooper on lead guitar
It’s Shane Fontayne… 😮
Chills!!!
I cried like a damn fool when I heard this. 😭
Robert didn’t know that Jason was going to be there.
Hey MollyB.. I hope you are feeling Betterment... I was just wanted to say ... IF YOU WANT THE FULL STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN TRIBUTE BY HEART TO LED ZEPPY... CHECK ✔ THR VIDEO THAT STARTS WITHOUT THE INTRODUCTION OF HEART! OTHERWISE IT'S A DUBBED VERSION! SOME OTHER UK 🇬🇧 BLOKES COMPLAINED THAT HEART SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THE TRIBUTE TO JUST MF××× UP THE WHOLE SONG! I WAS HOPING YOU CATCH THIS BEFORE YOU PREMIER!!!!!!
LOTS OF LOVE TO YOU AND STORM!
ellee
After the show Zeppelin and the Wilson Sisters went out to eat, Robert Plant told Ann Wilson, I hate when people cover Stairway, but you nailed it. The drummer was the son of John Bonham, Zeppelin's late drummer.
I ❤ HEART 😂😅😊.
I have seen both Robert Plant and Tony Iommi in the John Lewis store in Solihull a few times over the years. Never had the nerve to speak to either since it’s their private time, but they always looked happy and relaxed.
If you’re ever over that way, it’s always worth keeping an eye out
That’s the way to be, considerate.
Ann and Nancy also cover the Battle of Evermore. It's amazing.
saw them almost 35 years ago, and Led Zeppelin's song Rock and Roll was their encore.
2 Choirs!
The guitarist doesn't get enough love.
"His name is Shane Fontayne. He has also worked with Sting, Graham Nash, Maria McKee, Joe Cocker and many others. Most notably, he was guitarist in Bruce Springsteen's touring band, when Bruce put The E Street Band on hiatus in the early 90's, for the The Human Touch and Lucky Town albums."
Absolutely Outstanding performance,
The tribute for Led Zeppelin was in 2012. Ann was 62 when she performed this. Now 74 & still awesome.
You should go listen to the whole tribute!!! It's amazing!!!🎵🎼🎶🎙🎧🎸🎤🎹🔥🔥🔥🥁🥁
He’s the original drummers son that died tragically which ended the band. That was the most incredible version of stairway I’ve ever heard! I watch it every once in a while if I need to hear something great. Some of the other tributes that night were crap. Heart is phenomenal. Such a tight band.
