Ann Wilson Is the best female rock voice ever!! 🙌🏼👑

Jason Bonham told Rolling Stone magazine that he would only do this performance if Ann Wilson sang it. Pretty cool fact.

Possibly the greatest live performance of all time.

This is by far the BEST rendition of this song I’ve ever heard…. Ever! Perfection! ❤️🎧🤘🏼🎵

Ann Wilson is the best! Love her.

Hard to believe that Ann Wilson was 62 years old at the time of this tribute. What a set of pipes!

watch Steve Tyler still singin` his "Dream On" in his 70s

You can tell Robert Plant is fighting back tears...he and John Bonham grew up together.

They were very close when Robert Plant lost his five-year-old son John Bonham was right there with him and helped him get through his darkest days.

that ¨to be a rock and not to roll¨ part has to be one of the best screams in rock history., hands down..cheers from Uruguay.

Obsessed with Ann belting that OMG

The Gods of Rock. And Heart ❤️

Heart may have made themselves immortal doing a tribute number, how awesome.

I remember watching this on the night it happened. 2012! What a great night it was.

Having seen Heart in concert many times over the years they have always covered a few LED Zeppelin songs. I’ve never heard them do Stairway To Heaven till this Kennedy Center Honors. They completely nailed it on every corner. The entire band did. Robert Plant said months later that this was the best best cover of their song. It is rock royalty honoring other rock royalty. We’ll done. And yes it’s very emotional to watch and listen to. It is perfection.

Don't worry man. It got all of us. Perfection.

Beautiful man just beautiful music all of famor ❤❤❤❤❤😢😢 had me too

I'm listening to music over 60 years this is one of the greatest performances ever. Anne Wilson is one of the greatest singers in music history. Phenomenal performance? Best success on yr channel

Ann Wilson was 62 years old when she sàng this. Unbelievable! ❤️

I remember seeing Led Zeppelin in 1972 with Black Sabbath at the LA Forum. That concert was crazy being able to both bands is still blowing my mind.

Seen this so many times and it still brings tears to my eyes.

A little difficult not to choke up a bit seeing the looks on Page, Plant and Jone's faces. And the courage to walk out there and do that in front of them and nail it as well as they did was something to see. Especially the Wilson sisters and Shane Fontayne, who played the solo. Play THAT solo in front of Jimmy Page himself? He had to have at least one butterfly or two prior to that. Don't get me wrong, Shane is a well accomplished musician, but that's Jimmy Page!

I was one of the fortunate ones and seen the real deal in 1977 one of the best memories of my youth

Story goes Robert asked Jason to come to the tribute for his father and he told him he had a previous engagement and couldn't make it. Hence Robert's reaction when he saw him❤

Try being 16 with head phones back in the day...bittersweet...Heart is epic..Nancy probably best female guitarist...Annie Wilson...no words....

The Wilson sisters are AMAZING

I saw Led Zeppelin perform April 8, 1970 in Dorton Arena, Raleigh, NC. I was 17 and that was best concert to this day I ever saw. That puts them above Jimi Hendrix, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Allman Brothers Band, Jethro Tull and many others. Watching this amazing video did bring tears to my old eyes.

They rehearsed every single day for three weeks for this performance.

Love Heart

Spot on guys!!

Saw her 2 days ago in concert and she still can belt it out. She sang Black Dog by led zeppelin and killed it.

Forgot to mention. She is 72 now. Amazing voice.

Really amazing and emotional.

One great band covering another great band can't get better

Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones have always been his Father's since the day of the John Bonham's funeral! They have taken care of Jason and his Mother all these years and are now Grandfather's to Jason's children.

Heart is my favorite female group ❤️ and this was perfection ❤️😂

It gets me every time I watch this. 😢🔥

I loved this so much. Takes me back!

You barely noticed the lady who nailed this performance.

You mentioned the choir and the drummer, but here are a couple other things which really made this performance special for the band: • Robert Plant is Jason Bonham's godfather, and he invited Jason to attend the Kennedy Center Honors to participate in the tribute on behalf of his father. Jason, already on-board to drum with Heart, then lied to Robert, saying that he had already committed to play in a gig that night in L.A. • The drum kit that Jason is playing is one of his father's session kits, and the hat is one that his dad wore while touring.

They totally did it justice.

Yes they did and beyond

Just tremendous...Ann Wilson was 62yr at the time

The guy doing the solo was Shane Fontayne who played for the Bruce Springsteen band,amasing guitarist.

Beautiful reaction guys. I tear up every time and I bet I have watched this video 100's of times. Those ladies, choir ect. did Led Zepplin proud.

Yes they did make them proud

I’ve seen this probably 20+ times and I still tear up almost every time. I was probably about 13 when Zeppelin broke up after Bonzo’s death so I never saw them in concert but they are my favorite “classic” rock band by far. My ex bought me the 4 CD remastered set around 1990 and it came with a booklet/brochure thing that told some band history and stories. But yeah definitely started listening in the 70s. How could you not be moved by the story and the tragic death of Bonham at such a relatively young age. Not many bands would end over the death of a drummer but I respected the hell out of Zeppelin for doing that. Plant was probably the closest to Bonham, they were really good friends apparently. I think that was Bonham’s widow with them in the balcony.

Before Ann and Nancy became famous with "Heart" they played clubs around the Seattle area and their favorite band to cover was Led Zeppelin.

This video is cut way down for television, several verses were cut out, but the full performance of this song without the edits are on KZread. Just search for this with "full version" and you'll see it. Same performance but with about 3-4 more minutes of the song.

I was going to suggest the same thing. The cuts put back in raise the level of this video to even greater heights.

An absolute classic! The best rendition I've ever heard period!

Great choice, and great reaction !! You enjoy It in such emotionsl way, love it, the best tribute they deserved. Fabulous, I've watched this video hundreds of times and it always brings tears to my eyes. To see the smiling and proud faces of John Paul and Jimmy Page contrasting with the sad and pensive look of Plant, God. What was he thinking, maybe remembering the first time he performed this masterpiece. How lucky are those of us of a certain age to grow up with music as creative and of such a level as it was done in the sixties and seventies. I'm 62 . Keep on rocking guys Greetings from Barcelona ❤

If you’re going to pay tribute to Led Zeppelin with this song and know you can’t do it better, you make it special in a way no one has or will ever do it. Then you nail it! Epic!

Jason is actually playing his father John’s drums…cool.

Ann has perfect pitch... that's one of the reasons she rocks.

I get tears every time I see this, it's so amazing and powerful. What a great honor to watch.

Legendary performance

Zeppelin performed with Bonham on drums in a live concert back in 2007. Y’all must checkout the “Kashmir” performance! Jason shows he’s got his father’s blood big time in that one!

How dare you pause it haha. Should’ve let him soak it all in. Perfect, absolutely perfect cover.

You should hear Ann Wilson cover Kashmir. She's phenomenal. IMO Heart is really the only band that can cover Led Zeppelin with justice. Something about Ann's voice.

Great job guys on the reaction I grew up on this music and it touched my heart that may never see them perform this again,Jesus and the tears were real in my eyes. A GREAT honor from Heart to led zep

It's not a cover it's a tribute

I seen a longer version of this video on KZread somewhere.

To be a rock... and not to roll...

If you like Heart covering Led Zeppelin songs, May I suggest their cover of the Battle of Evermore at the concert for the rock and roll hall of fame in 1995 on youtube. That is their best version (acoustic)

Omg. You 2 are the best!! The friggin dog. 😁 Great reaction. You also have the loudest version out there. Meaning I can crank it waaayy up!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 Noice!!

I suggest you watch the Prince, Jeff Lynne, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood; "While My guitar gently Weeps" george Harrison tribute.

Heart, while Rock icons on their own, are the premier Led Zeppelin "cover" band. Nobody does Zeppelin like the Wilson sisters except Plant, Page, Jones and Bonham! I have a suggestion for another female artist, check out Beth Hart. She's done some great performances with the likes of Joe Bonamassa, Jeff Beck and Buddy Guy in fact she did a tribute to Buddy Guy this same night with Jeff Beck called "I'd Rather Go Blind". She did a show about 20 some years ago at the Provisio with her own band and did a wild performance of her original "Am I The One" but it's not suitable for younger audiences LOL. The woman can ROCK!!!

I tear up when I watch this, every time

You have to do Barracuda by Heart! Incredible! Jason played with LZ over the years.

Not if you’re Heart ! Jason Bonham on his dads drum set and wearing his Bowie hat. The flute sound is being played on Keyboards. Nerves of steel it musts have taken to play that solo in front of Page himself.

I know this is a 2 yr old reaction but I'd like to recommend Jason's album In the Name of My Father (if you haven't heard it!) - totally worth every second!

I am a singer and keyboardist and two of my sons are guitarists, my youngest plays bass and guitar

The Drum kit he is playing is his Fathers.

Tear-Jerker? I thought it was the onions on this pizza...Jason and the choir wearing John's Bowler hat was awesome. But at the end when Jason had his head down, eyes closed and then opened his eyes as he lookin upwards made me feel like he was sayin "You made it up that stairway Dad." That hit me hard.

The whole tribute is amazing!!! Check it out 👍🏻Great reaction!! You guys are great. They really went all out for this tribute. You can find the whole thing with Jack black, Lenny Kravitz… it’s amazing!

Baby Bonzo on the drums is what’s getting Plant,,,that’s his godson

I love seeing Yo Yo Ma rockin' out.... Bonnie Raitt and so many Broadway stars are blown away as well....

The father in this video is a dead ringer for Al Bundy from "Married with Children."

If you look at the full video of the Kennedy Center Honors you'll see other famous artists performing Led songs

Ann Wilson has the greatest womans rock voice out there ! Jason has also played many concerts with Led Zeppelin, Ann and Nancy have been friends with the guys, and they wouldn't just let anybody play this song. Pausing this song ruins the natural build-up of this great song !

You guys need to watch Jack Black’s introduction of Led Zeppelin. You might remember he made that movie school of rock, and we heard traces of the immigrant song and I don’t know, a lot of zeppelin stuff in that movie because his character loved loved loved Zeppelin!!!

Everyone was wearing a hat as a tribute to Bonzo.

First time viewer of your channel. Well done. You seem to be two honest and humble guys who love music. Subscribed.

EPICO EPICO EPICO, GRACIAS DIOS POR HABER NACIDO EN EL MISMO PLANETA!!!

Just so you know the drummer is wearing his dad's Bollore hat as a tribute to his dad Just like the back Choirs.....

About 2/3rds of the way through Plant leans over to Page and says; "Not bad!" That is about as complimentary as Page not being able to sit still, grinning ear to ear! Plant absolutely hates it when bands try to cover this song!

ugh, the edited version...the full one is so much better

Finally someone who brought up the Jason/john Bonham connection

I heard that is the original drum kit. I wish you seen the full version.

a note about Jon is he never played with the bass he played with the lead Page

Jason Bonham is Robert Plant's godson. They have been close all of his life.

Great reacton to a great tribute. I would love to see you react to Nightwish - Ghost Love Score, live at Wacken Open Air 2013. And they also made a great tribute to another great band. Check it out if you feel like it. Nightwish - High Hopes (Pink Floyd) from End of an era 2005. Even David Gilmore became a fan after hearing it. Hahahahaha

Not big on bands covering Zep, no one does Stairway like Led!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

How come is there a WHOLE verse missing :O ??? The video you saw has been murderously cut 😢 Great reaction though :)

Playing this before these guys would be like quoting scripture to GOD. A please do not let me screw this up moment if there ever was one.

Listen to the song, comment after!!!

My “allergies” act up every time I see this version.
