Jacob Collier is insane. He'll create some of the most complex harmonic arrangements you'll ever hear.

Jacob's totally off the charts nutso talented. Can't recommend him enough if he coming to town.

Jacob Collier, genius, highly recommended

I was addicted to your channel when you discovered Steely Dan. Time for a JAcob Deep dive young man. He has 6 Grammys and is the world's greatest musician. not kidding. You'll see. His new album comes out next week. We Jacob fans think it will win album of the year grammy.

So glad you caught the FULL version of Heart's "Stairway to Heaven" performance here as, believe it or not, there is a chopped-version out there.

This is also edited at beginning and end. I saw it live broadcast and there was more than these with fewer camera angles. Ann was 62 yrs old.

When I was in my late teens, on New Year's Eve, we would go see Heart because they would end the year in their home city, Seattle. It was so fun. You guys should listen to the "Dog and Butterfly" album by Heart. The whole album is amazing. My favorites from this album are "Cook with Fire" and "Mistral Wind". Other songs that are my favorites are "Love Alive" and "Sing Child". They have about 200 others that are must hear soon. Put these on your short list. You'll be glad you did.❤😊

I keep rewatching this Stairway to Heaven cover by Heart OVER and OVER. I’ve been obsessed ever since I saw it!

Same 👍

What you saw was Ann and Nancy joining the gods 😄 first time I saw this video I cried . I am a 57 year old Zep fan It was like watching Ann and Nancy achieve the level of Jimmy, Robert, John and Bonzo. Gods

Jacob is a LEGEND

You'll want to go a lot deeper into musical genius Jacob Collier beyond his early amazing covers into his original music with his band and orchestras and both audience and professional choirs. People often cite his a capella Moon River which won one of his 6 Grammys but there are so many others like Hajanga, Wellll, Don't You Know (with Snarky Puppy), Hideaway, Witness Me, Time Alone, Lua, etc. He informally teaches music theory and plays about 20 instruments aside from the precise and wide vocal range. Yes, that's Quincy and also Take 6, a legendary gospel vocal group.

Legendary music producer Quincy Jones (who has worked with people like Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson) has said of Jacob Collier: "I have never in my life seen a talent like this." If you want to find out more about him, the BBC not too long ago did a documentary on Jacob and his music career so far called "In The Room Where It Happens". You should be able to find it on KZread. Definitely worth checking out. Jacob is an absolute genius! (And that's the opinion of musicians from all over the world.)

Robert Plant said he was thinking about John Bonham when he was watching this. Very powerful, beautifully sung and arranged!!❤

Beth Hart has got it all. No one performs on stage like this woman & her voice is like no others. Ann, Nancy, Jason & all the others absolutely killed it but since their performance was a tribute and not a cover, Beth & Joe's cover of Etta's song may be my favorite cover of all times. There's also CCR's cover of Heard it through the grapevine & Disturbed's Sound of Silence that are fkn amazing as well❤

I've watched this performance so many times. They truly did this magnificent song justice.

Absolutely the best cover I’ve ever heard. Brought tears to my eyes !

Hey Dave thanks for getting the complete performance of Heart's Stairway To Heaven because so many other reactions sadly do not and it's a shame because this is the greatest cover of all time IMHO. Hey Nick we have got to see Lex react to this performance. 🙏✌️♥️

What you saw in Roberts eyes was more sadness, that his best mate Bonzo wasn’t there….and what a waste his death was. And also being very nostalgic for that time, back when he was still an idealistic young man and had all the hopes for a better world. He’s a sad, old hippie, as are many of us. I’m not speculating here. Robert has discussed what he was thinking and feeling during this performance in a couple of interviews I’ve watched. The older man looking back at what they were, and what this song meant to him…and what rebels they were. And thinking, “how in hell did I get HERE”. With all the hoopla and ceremony and formality. Very pensive, is Robert.

He won a grammy for this thousands of layers he is a musical genius multi instrumentalist what he does with harmonies is new musical ground he also won a grammy for his arrangement of moon river all layered vocals he is produced by Quincy Jones He is like a modern day Mozart.

Every time I see Heart's tribute performance of Stairway To Heaven I tear up....EVERY TIME. It's just so brilliant and heartfelt from everyone involved.

Glad you finally reacted to Heart doing this tribute. It is such an amazing performance.

PURE AWESOMENESS DAVE. All great fun, variations on amazing songs, but the Heart interpretation of stairway to Heaven with Jimmy Paige , John Paul, Jones Live and Robert Platt in the audience blows your way. Makes me tear up every time. Great observation as always Nick.

Thanks Scott

Love all of these! I have seen Heart and Joe B live. Heart was several years ago, but I have seen Joe a few times in recent years. Both of those are exceptional live. Beth Hart’s performance is also incredible. I have to say this was the first time hearing Jacob, I am very impressed.. Another great reaction !!👏👏👏

A+ DAVE! LOVED ! I love the Led Zep Kennedy Center CBS show 2012! Beth Hart and Jeff Beck for Buddy Guy!

Beth and Joe Bonnamonster, what a combo. See Joe live you will not regret it.

hi, you will find yourself going into a deep rabbithole with Jacob Collier. Promised. The musical genius of these days. Check „Moon River“. And for Beth Heart.. She is the only one who comes kind of close to Tina Turner with her version of „Nutbush City Limit“, same concert with Joe Bonamassa in Amsterdam. You will love it and dance in your chair. 🖖🏽🍀

I think what was in Robert Plant's mind when he looked wistful was how much he missed John Bonham, with whom he was always very close. Seeing Jason on stage playing that song (which Robert never really liked that much) must have hit him hard in the feels.

They had asked Jason to attend with them to represent his dad. Of course, he couldn't, obviously. He simply told them, "sorry I've got a gig". Imagine their surprise when the lights came up and Jason was behind the drums. He's also wearing a bowler hat, a trademark of his dad. The chorus is also wearing them at the end in tribute.

You're right. Playing a Jimmy Page guitar solo in front of Jimmy Page. No pressure. Jason and the youth choir wearing the bolo style hat made famous by his father. Supposedly, Robert Plant asked Jason Bonham to attend the event with them, but Jason said he had an earlier commitment.

Beth Hart and Jeff Beck did a tribute to Buddy Guy the same evening as the Heart /LZ tribute at Kennedy Center!

Been falling in love with Beth Hart lately ❤❤❤

This was 2012, so Obama was still President. As I understand, Robert Plant had invited Jason Bonham to attend with the band, but Jason told him he was very sorry, but he had a gig!

That was such quick thinking by Jason not to ruin the planned surprise. I've always loved the story--as well as Jason and the chorus wearing Bonzo's trademark bowler.

I'd recommend reacting to Jacob's live solo version of Queen's "Somebody to Love" next from his Lisbon show. Just him - and his audience...

"little blue" live @Mahogany sessions , is just awesome .

Jacob Collier... Musical prodigy and genius. Produced now by Quincy Jones

Kennedy Center is in Washington, D. C.

Check out the entire 2012 Kennedy Awards tribute to Led Zepplin. With Heart, Lenny Kravitz, Kid Rick and the Foo Fighter's,

Big fan of Joe Bonamassa and have several albums by him. Always puts on a great show. Love that soulful singing by Beth Hart. Great video. Jacob Collier and Heart were awesome too.

Thanks for reacting to Led Zeppelin tribute. 👏

You definitely should react to more Jacob Collier!!

You've started out with the apex of JC's complexity, and there's plenty more earlier stuff - not necessarily _simple_ - which might be more assimilable. The upright bass player + the 5 other main backing vocalists are the supremely talented Take 6. One thing to take on board is the underlying percussion - which is there underneath most of the track, seen near the beginning - is that his bongos/congos etc are playing wild tuplets, quintuplets, septuplets. He's not just a harmonic genius, but rhythmic too. I swear that, like Mozart, Jacob was sent to us.

Look what Jacob Collier does with his audiences during live concerts!! I also recommend watching the live version of the song "Little Blu" in church with a choir which he formed from ramdom people who have seen his concert. Amazing...

You have to see him. He is incredible.

Please do more Jacob Collier reactions. His arrangement won a Grammy. One thing that makes me hugely happy is his Mum is playing violin on it ①. 😂 Who wouldn't want their Mum playing with them on a Grammy winner? 🤔 Please react to the magical, acoustic _Jacob Collier - Little Blue | @MahoganySessions_ kzread.info/dash/bejne/e4Wq3LppipaudZc.html The 'choir' are fans who could get to the location a few hours after he invited them to meet him (Instagram?). A participant commented "after very little preparation, we learned the song, rehearsed, and performed it in about 2 hours". Jacob Collier is the first (and AFAIK only) British artist to win a Grammy for each of his first four albums (He has 5 Grammys). Best Wishes for a Happy, Healthy, Peaceful 2024. ☮ ① Jacob Collier's Mum is a concert-level violinist, conductor and music teacher at the Junior Royal Academy. She has chops.

Jacob is the bomb! Check him out.

Nick querido! no puedo creer que no conozcas aún a Jacob Collier! Es literalmente un GENIO!!! Acá en Argentina lo conocemos creo que desde 2018 cuando estuvo por aquí dando sus shows... es genio en serio, te recomiendo que veas y escuches su primer disco "In my room" de 2016 mi tema favorito de ese disco es Hideaway, también, de su disco Djesse Vol. 3 el tema "All I Need" escuchalo junto a Alexia, creo que ella llorará de felicidad! Un saludo desde la ciudad de Buenos Aires!

My favorite cover of 'I'd Rather Go Blind' is absolute the version of Chicken Shack........... 🙂

Check out Rod Stewart & the Faces version on their live album Coast To Coast: Overtures & Beginners, pretty awesome.

There is Jacob, then the rest of us … you need to listen to Bridge of Troubled Water

Awesome react Nick...Ty for this...

Dave, you must be psychic. I have a few of these types of marathons set up, but not vids, waiting for a slot to open up. Farggging Kewl!!!!👍👍👍

I sent you this video last summer and begged you to watch Jacob.

If you like Jacob Collier you should really check out Dirty Loops.

Let me make clear that I think Heart's performance at the Kennedy Center is EPIC and I LOVE it. But, the weakest part I think is the solo. It's not quite right. It's good, but it's not right.

Heart has always done amazing covers of Led Zeppelin early on in their carrer.."The Battle Of Evermore","Kashmir", "Rock and Roll"among others..There is a very early version posted on KZread of them doing a cover of "Rock and Roll" about 1976 or 77 which was posted by the Fisher Brothers who were both part of Heart in the 70's..The song starts a couple minutes in as a fan rushes the stage st Ann and it takes a couple minutes to settle things..But it is a great version sung by a young Ann Wilson..I haven't seen anybody on KZread react to that early version that Heart did..

I don't imagine Page plays it note for note when he plays it. IIRC, Heart were 'endorsed' by Page to play Led Zep covers in the 70s, he felt they were so good. So I don't imagine Page is judging on nit-picking details. Best Wishes for 2024. ☮

💪🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

Yeah, I really didn’t care too much for the first one, and I think you got it right when you said it may not be for everyone. Now, the other two were KILLER - it doesn’t get much better than that!

you don't know Jacob???

Lionel Richie became too much an ear worm, so nice to get anothrr version. Etta James still the best followed by Chicken Shak. This one good. Plant looked worried. Page just enjoyed. He got to hate playing it himself.
