    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

    The Kennedy Center Honors is a lifetime achievement award. Very important.
    Heart was perfect to honor Led Zeppelin.
    Robert Plant cried. That never fails to touch me.
    The drummer is the son of their original drummer who always wore a derby hat.
    Such a momentous occasion.
    Robert Plant is sill touring, now with Alison Krauss. Listen to their "Gone, Gone, Gone."

    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.

    The three men in balcony that the camera kept returning to, are the three remaining members of Led Zep - and the amazing drummer on the stage is the son of the original Led Zep drummer. This was an iconic rendering in honour of the Led Zep and the song. I can never get enough of this performance (but I am a child of the 60's and 70's. When had some incredible music back then).

    An absolutely stunning performance of one of the greatest rock songs of all time. The reaction of the lads, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones says it all. Also, the fact that Jason Bonham was playing the drums and nailing it just like his father John Bonham is just perfection. Of course, the Wilson sisters hit it out of the park as well.

I've only seen the entire show, the version that starts with the Jason Bonham introduction and this "Full version". Whoever did the original edits did some weird thing with the audience shots, one show The Obamas and one has this misplaced shot of Bonnie Raitt waving her hands witch actually happened during an earlier part of the night.

    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.

    Agree. That was awesome. The guys really appreciated the work being done for them. Roberts face after Anne hit the high spot…..Jimmy watching this other man playing his guitar notes and you could see him moving his mouth for each note and his smile of appreciation. The late drummers son playing the drums without them knowing in advance.

    The drummer is John Bonham's son ( The original drummer ) , Hence his salute at the end and how emotional he was. You would love their concert Celebration Day Kashmir and No Quarter live are incredible !!
