I heard that jason was originally supposed to attend this LED ZEPPELIN tribute with Robert,jimmy and john but told them that he had previous plans and would not be able to attend the tribute with them ,and also them not knowing that this tribute was his actual plans that he canceled on them to attend . So seeing jason there playing Drums for this masterpiece iconic rock song in his dads place had to have been a unbelievable surprise and a special treat for them all... 😎💪🤙😇🙏❤️
The men asked Jason if he would like to sit with them for his Dad. Jason told them he had an event he had to attend. So they were total surprised when he walk on stage. I know his Dad was so proud
Man, I'd have been peeing my pants, playing that guitar solo in front of Jimmy Page himself!! Sheesh. Jason was invited to attend by Robert, but he told him that he had a prior commitment that he couldn't get out of. 😉 I can only imagine the heart swell Robert probably felt when Jason showed up, sittting behind his father's kit, wearing his bowler. ❤ I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the large chorus when they were first revealed, but I loved it! It was like icing on the cake for that epic ending. 😳😥😍👍🏻
@@LonghopeBro-ju6jl The creator of this video must have wanted to get it under 6 min to get more clicks. After stripping out an entire verse it was still a little bit too long, so decided to hack out part of the iconic guitar solo. Well, this version has a lot more views than the full version, so who cares, right? The problem is most people don't even realize that it was hacked.
@@SaneGrey952-yd6ex I've listened to the full version more times than I can count. 😉 I agree wholeheartedly that it bites when people only react to the cut versions, but I'm just happy they're reacting to it at all, to be honest. I've loved this song since I bought the (record) album *when it first came out* ! 🎶 Still have it, believe it or not. 👍🏻
The musicians shown at the end had done covers of other Led Zeppelin songs during this tribute concert. I think "Stairway To Heaven" was the last song of the night which is why all the performers came out at the end.
This a very iconic song done by iconic Led Zepplin. Nancy does an exceptional covering this and Ann is fire on the guitar. Needless to say, all of those involved with this are awesome. Jason did an such an excellent job. I am sure his dad is looking down on him and cheering! This gets you in the feels. Love your reaction!
🤘😎🤘 The first time Heart put their cover of Stairway To Heaven to recording was in 1976. A live recording from their concert at the Seattle Aquarius Club. It was actually Jason who told the Kennedy Honors Board that only Ann Wilson could do justice to Stairway To Heaven. Robert Plant agreed.
In 2013, Heart did a tour with Jason's band opening for them. Heart did a set of their hits, and then did a second set that was all Zeppelin songs, with Jason on drums. It was Epic! 🤙😎
Let's Gooooo! Jason and the choir are wearing John Bonham's signature bowler hats made Robert get emotional plus he didn't know Jason would be there he told him he couldn't make it. You could see Jimmy mouthing the notes from the solo😂 Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
No they aren't. Jason is playing a re-issue Ludwig VistaLite tribute kit. VistaLites were not released until 1972 and Stairway to Heaven was recorded in early 1971 so there is a 0% chance Bonzo was playing VistaLites on SWTH. He used his green sparkle Ludwig Super-Classic kit to record that song.
I was sitting in class in high school when I got the news that John Bonham had died. One of several devastating rock deaths in my childhood. For me, these were more than musicians. Without getting into unnecessary details, I didn't have a great childhood. But whatever was going wrong in my life in a given moment, I could go to my room, close the door behind me, turn up the stereo with my favorite tunes and set aside the garbage that was trying to bring me down that particular day. Many days and weeks I'd come home from school, go straight to my room, close the door and stay there until bed time, only coming out long enough to eat that evening with the family. Music was something God used to keep me going and I'm thankful for it.
I will always pause and watch anyones reaction to this wonderful tribute to one of the best bands ever. And the look on their faces, you can see the memories flooding through their minds.
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 "Barracuda", "Magic Man", "Crazy On You", "What About Love", "Never", "Dog & Butterfly", "These Dreams", "Alone" etc.
Jason Bonham and Heart playing this iconic song In front of Robert Planet who is Jason's godfather, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page must have been nerve-wracking. Outstanding performance from vocals from Anne on point and nailing the guitar solo with Jimmy watching.
Emotional this one is. Beautiful, spiritual & intense. Jason being there is also phenomenal. This was one of the very best tribute shows in history. Thank you very much for sharing this one...=)
It is well worth watching the entire tribute from beginning to end even if you don’t react to it on the channel. Kid rock especially did a killer short rendition of Ramble On. Foo Fighters (with Taylor Hawkins (rip) singing), and Lenny Kravitz also performed. Jack black did the intro. Well worth watching!!
I've seen both of these bands in the 70's at NYC Madison Square Garden. Heart loved Zep from their beginning and played Zeps Its Been a Long Time Since I've Rock and Rolled for their encore song. Saw Zepplin the last year they toured.
Dude, there's a longer version of this video that has the whole performance, not chopped up. The audio mix is better too especially at the end when Ann's voice was kinda of drowned out. Glad you got to see this though!
A fantastic tribute to them. Ann Wilson is a fantastic vocalist period. Way back when all I wanted was to thank her and the band for great music and to meet this beautiful woman ❤❤❤❤❤
The best cover of any song, ever. What I always wonder when I see this is just how nervous was the guitar player when he was about to play Jimmy Page's solo with Jimmy Page sitting there.
It’s one thing to be asked to do a live tribute, but it’s another to be asked to play the most iconic song in rock n roll history, and then getting to play that song in front of the musicians that created it .
Led Zeppelin heard Heart, who was largely an LZ cover band in the early 70s. They were so impressed that they gave their blessing for Heart to play their music, something they did not do very often.
A few months after meeting here, Heart announced the Heartbreaker Tour with Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience. Heart and Bonham closed each show with a special thirty-minute finale tribute to Led Zeppelin. My 2nd time seeing Jason (drummed for Foreigner) and 4th (since 1978) seeing Heart. Yours was one of the Best Ever in my 5 years watching Reaction Channels.
At the end, Jason taking that breath and looking up get's me every time. It was cool to see Jimmy Page mouthing the solo. Seeing Yo-Yo Ma, someone from a totally different genre of music, completely immersed in the song shows just how amazing Stairway is.
HEART wasn't the only person who paid tribute to LZ that night, but they got the most views. ❤❤😊Jack Black, Foo Fighters, Kid Rock, Lenny Kravitz and Heart paid tribute to Led Zeppelin in Washington, DC on Sunday night as the band received the Kennedy Center Honors at the annual gala. Robert asked Jason to attend, but Jason said he couldn't because he had something else to do. Jason wanted to surprise them. Robert is Jason's Godfather.
John Bonham and Robert Plant were more than just band members. They were close personally and family. When Robert's son Karac tragically passed John was the only one who showed for his funeral. In Through the Outdoor was only made because John talked Robert into it. We all know what happened afterwards
Brother, I'm so glad you didn't say that you never heard this song before. 😂😂Not sure if you're aware, but Robert and John were best friends and Jason is Robert's Godson. I believe that's why he was so teary eyed throughout this magical performance. Yeah, every time I watch this and see Jason look up to Heaven at that one point almost always gets me every time.
and robert asked jason to sit up there in place of his father but jason said he had another thing he had to do that night.... even the rehersals was done with dave grole on drums so literaly no one knew jason would be there
I really like your reactions. Very enthusiastic but also very knowledgeable! And you seem like a great dude to grab a beer with. Now I’m begging you: please dig into the Zeppelin catalogue! You probably know the band but your mind would be blown. I’d tune in every time and I’m sure thousands of others will too!
I'm not sure if this was already mentioned, but Ann Wilson was 62 years old at the time of this tribute, AND she was fighting the flu. What a set of pipes!
You mention your son playing on pots and pans. Sandra Boynton is a children's author who despised the music quality of most children's music albums. She wrote a bunch of children's songs, and released several albums, collaborating with a good arranger and recruiting a star-studded cast of singers to record them. She has a song called "Pots and Pans" on her Dog Train album, with percussion by Mickey Hart (who I hope you have heard of) and sung by The Bacon Brothers, actor Kevin Bacon and his brother. Worth a listen.
When I first saw this, I thought “wow! She’s 70?!? She looks and sounds fantastic! I like the arrangement, tastefully shorter for the program.. the choir was beautiful, and I loved how they were all wearing bowler hats in honour of John.
As I feel obligated to say every time, this is Not the full version of the song but an edited version where they have removed half the guitar solo and drowned out Anne's vocals at the end. A true shame in my opinion. Anyone who wants the real deal, just search for Full version
This was the abbreviated version, CBS edited out some verses and reactions in order to fit the TV time slot. The full version is out there, one way you can tell is the CBS logo isn’t present in the lower right corner of the screen.
As the narrator at the beginning says: "from Heart, Ann and Nancy Wilson", Ann and Nancy are the two most prominent members of "Heart", but the (accompaning) orchestra is not the 'rock' band "Heart", they should not be confused. But, as John Paul, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page so visably demonstrate, this was a most fantastic performance, worthy of a Kennedy Center (Honors) tribute to (the members of) Led Zeppelin (how did they get their name - I don't know) - even Yo-Yo Ma was 'groov'n' in the audience😊
I never tire of watching this and yes, I get teary eyed frequently. Recalling my youth. Feeling my age. Thankful for growing up in the classic rock era, attending concerts of who we celebrate now as music icons. So many young you tube reactors mourning the fact that they weren't alive to be part of that time. Well I was there baby, and it was amazing!🌟💖✨
Robert is Jason’s godfather, he had invited Jason to the show, Jason said he had a prior engagement & couldn’t. They are so proud of Jason, especially Robert. Jason played with the band at the (2007) Celebration Day concert, he did his father proud then too. John was so proud of Jason’s playing, he use to have him play, when guys from other bands came to his house.
Some years back my daughter to me to a Heart concert in San Francisco, the Jason Bonham Band was the opening act She got good seats close to the stage and scene I’m a drummer I walk up to the stage before the show to check out his drums. Got in a conversation about drums with a nice guy who I thought was a roadie - nope it was Jason Bonham hanging out before the show Jason’s was very nice and talkative and strangely enough knew a lot about drums. I was impressed 😂😂😂
🌸 I've been looking forward to your opinion on this performance. I've watched younger reactors that don't know much about Zeppelin react to this, and knowing that you are very familiar with everything means so much to me because it means more to you to watch this with deep introspection.
It was so cool seeing all the emotion on their faces! Zeppelin (especially Bonham) has been such a huge influence in my musical journey! This was as good as it gets!!
you should check out the whole led zeppelin Kennedy honours show many great ban paying tribute. You should also check out Jason's other band Kingdom Come they got a song called get it on when it first came out people were saying it was Zeppelin cause it did sound a lot like zeppelin
Robert later said that the reason he was tearing up was that he was missing his friend, John. Jason had told the band that he was not able to attend, that's why Robert jumped up and point to him when he was introduced.
"Lets Go!!!" I would have probably been thrown out of the show...maybe not. Most likely dosed moderately on psilocybin At the bridge, I would have been out my seat, just goin off. Jesus, what a performance.
You have chosen some awesome and iconic songs to react to recently. I appreciate being able to be on this journey with you. The power of music to bring people together is something I strongly agree with you about. This version of Stairway has become my favorite; I was worn out with the original.
You have to wonder if Zeppelin could have ever imagined that 50 years after their start, they would be listening to their own music being played with a full orchestra and a gospel choir!!!!!
Jason is Robert's God Son, and told them he had a prior engagement so he could not attend this ceremony. Robert became very emotional to find that he was performing.
I have a feeling that you are quite familiar with the Mighty Zep. Heart has always admired them and covered them very well over the years. Perhaps do an analysis of any part of Zep's last performance at the O2 Arena in London 2007.
Robert Plant & John Bonham were in a band together before Zeppelin.They had a close relationship.When Robert;s son died in 1977 John went with Robert back to England.The rest of Zeppelin stayed in Los Angeles.Another reason that Robert's emotional because John isnt there to celebrate
have you heard the original of this song , Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven 1973 Live Madison Square Gardens . this is a sticking plaster on the original

Such an iconic tune for a legendary band! Ann, Nancy, Jason and the whole band put on the performance of a lifetime! So emotional!! Rest In Peace Bonzo!!
Jason Bonham is wearing his father’s bowler hat, and playing the drum set that his father actually used on the original recording of the song
Awesome reaction! You’re the first one, and I have watched many, that recognized Jason looked up to the heavens to his father.
Such an amazing moment!! ❤️
I heard that jason was originally supposed to attend this
LED ZEPPELIN tribute with Robert,jimmy and john but told them that he had previous plans and would not be able to attend the tribute with them ,and also them not knowing that this tribute was his actual plans that he canceled on them to attend . So seeing jason there playing Drums for this masterpiece iconic rock song in his dads place had to have been a unbelievable surprise and a special treat for them all...
😎💪🤙😇🙏❤️
Nothing like playing one of the most iconic solos in the history of rock music in front of the man himself. No pressure!
I know right! 🤯
Kennedy Center Awards never disappoints. But this is the best of all of them IMO.
I agree
The men asked Jason if he would like to sit with them for his Dad. Jason told them he had an event he had to attend. So they were total surprised when he walk on stage. I know his Dad was so proud
This performance is a tearjerker and goose bump maker every time.
💯

Great guitar solo. Too bad they cut part of it out in this shortened 6 min video. Watch the 8 min version if you want to see the complete solo.

Ditto❤
Robert said he got emotional because he was thinking about his late best friend John Bonham
In 2013, Heart did a tour with Jason's band opening for them.
Heart did a set of their hits, and then did a second set that was all Zeppelin songs, with Jason on drums.
It was Epic! 🤙😎
Literally brings tears to your eyes.

Such an amazing moment!!! ❤️
On a side note the guy in the back playing acoustic guitar is Kyle Gass from tenacious d ✌️
Those drums are John's kit that he recorded this song on

This is like a religious experience. The best tribute ever, to the best band and best rock song. 💞✌️

Ann was 62 years old when she performed here. greatest female rock singer and top 10 of all singers male or female.
Heart has several Led Zeppelin covers on UA-cam. My favorite is their cover of "Battle of Evermore".
Jason Bonham and Heart playing this iconic song In front of Robert Planet who is Jason's godfather, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page must have been nerve-wracking. Outstanding performance from vocals from Anne on point and nailing the guitar solo with Jimmy watching.

Seen this video a few times now, still makes me cry! Beautiful tribute. ❤🎵🎼👌
This song is just fantastic... I can't help but cry when i hear this song
I saw Page & Plant live in 1998 live, and Heart live in 2003. So glad to admire this performance, and that the men of Zep' admire!
That’s so awesome! You are very lucky indeed to see both of them live! Thanks for sharing! 😁
@@setonhillstudios Life can be awesome!
I've seen both of these bands in the 70's at NYC Madison Square Garden. Heart loved Zep from their beginning and played Zeps Its Been a Long Time Since I've Rock and Rolled for their encore song. Saw Zepplin the last year they toured.
That’s so awesome! Very cool you got to experience both of these iconic bands live!! 🔥

Man, when you mentioned at the end how Jason was missing his dad, it actually made me a little emotional. Music brings everyone together.
💯 Such a beautiful thing! Thanks for hanging out and sharing!
🌸 Jimmy looks so peaceful and happy
I remember when they did this and at the end when Jason looks up, it gets me in the gut every time I watch it.
Robert Plant's tears get me every time I see this. I tear up too.
💯
It’s one thing to be asked to do a live tribute, but it’s another to be asked to play the most iconic song in rock n roll history, and then getting to play that song in front of the musicians that created it .

Appreciate the kind words! I have a few Zeppelin tunes on here! Definitely more to come for sure!
Robert Plant misses his friend Bonzo AKA John Bonham
Hell yes! Someone else actually knows Black Country Communion ❤❤❤❤❤
🔥🔥🔥
🌸 I've probably seen this a hundred times and I cry every time.
So emotional and beautiful in every way! ❤️
Truly an epic music performance.
Search UA-cam for interviews with Ann and Nancy about this tribute. Also for their other covers of Zeppelin songs.
I'm not sure if this was already mentioned, but Ann Wilson was 62 years old at the time of this tribute, AND she was fighting the flu. What a set of pipes!
Wow!! That’s crazy to think about! She absolutely tore it up!
Best cover ever!🔥🤘😎
You should go watch the whole tribute!! It's spectacular!!🎶🎼🎵🤘🤘🤘
The choir just hit perfectly on nancy s voice
You mention your son playing on pots and pans. Sandra Boynton is a children's author who despised the music quality of most children's music albums.

Worth a listen.
I read that they invited Jason to join them & he told them he already had plans. LOL
You have GOT to check out Jason Bonham's album called In the Name of My Father ❤❤❤
The only ones that did this song justice besides the greatest band ever, Led Zeppelin.
Another great performance at one of these Honors shows was Adam Lambert singing 'Believe' in front of Cher...
Mind blowing performance!!
Ann is my 2nd fav female rock voice - only very slightly behind Amy Lee of Evanescence
Well done all around; thanks
Appreciate it! Have a great day! 😁
You can’t really tell from the video, but to the left of Jimmy Page is David Letterman, who was also being honored that day.
When I first saw this, I thought “wow! She’s 70?!? She looks and sounds fantastic! I like the arrangement, tastefully shorter for the program.. the choir was beautiful, and I loved how they were all wearing bowler hats in honour of John.
Ann was 62 here, in 2012. I saw her last year and she still put on a great show.
As I feel obligated to say every time, this is Not the full version of the song but an edited version where they have removed half the guitar solo and drowned out Anne's vocals at the end. A true shame in my opinion. Anyone who wants the real deal, just search for Full version
When Led Zepplin did their reunion tour, Jason played in his dad's place.
You probably should react to the whole tribute with all 4 songs by those who were on stage at the end, plus Jack Black's intro which is quite cool

Seeing the joy on Jimmy's face as he watched someone play what is arguably one of the most iconic guitar solos of all time was amazing !
And don't you know the guy playing it suffered nerves playing it in front of Jimmy eta: well not while playing but before
I never tire of watching this and yes, I get teary eyed frequently. Recalling my youth. Feeling my age. Thankful for growing up in the classic rock era, attending concerts of who we celebrate now as music icons. So many young you tube reactors mourning the fact that they weren't alive to be part of that time. Well I was there baby, and it was amazing!🌟💖✨
🔥😍
I didn't recognize all the cameos in the crowd, but I did recognize the Obamas and YoYo Ma.
Led Zeppelin- Kashmir (live from Celebration Day 2007) Jason Bohnam tears up the drums. You Must See THIS!
Robert is Jason’s godfather, he had invited Jason to the show, Jason said he had a prior engagement & couldn’t. They are so proud of Jason, especially Robert. Jason played with the band at the (2007) Celebration Day concert, he did his father proud then too. John was so proud of Jason’s playing, he use to have him play, when guys from other bands came to his house.
Yes Jason is in Black Country Communion with Glen Hughes, Joe Bonamassa, and Derek Sherinian. Great band

Robert later said that the reason he was tearing up was that he was missing his friend, John. Jason had told the band that he was not able to attend, that's why Robert jumped up and point to him when he was introduced.
That’s so awesome!! What a moment! ❤️
"Lets Go!!!"
I would have probably been thrown out of the show...maybe not. Most likely dosed moderately on psilocybin
At the bridge, I would have been out my seat, just goin off. Jesus, what a performance.
Haha 🤣 Absolutely! 💯
You have chosen some awesome and iconic songs to react to recently. I appreciate being able to be on this journey with you. The power of music to bring people together is something I strongly agree with you about.
This version of Stairway has become my favorite; I was worn out with the original.
Really appreciate it! Having a blast meeting all of you and hanging out!
Did you catch yoyo ma groovin out.? Greatest cellist in the world
I must have missed that!! 😁
🌸 and I know you're a drummer but can you even imagine having to play that guitar solo in front of the amazing Jimmy Page???
I know right!!! Talk about nervous and excitement at an insane level!! 🤙🏻
Ann even had a cold
You should hear Dolly Parton..cover stairway to heaven.. live.
You have to wonder if Zeppelin could have ever imagined that 50 years after their start, they would be listening to their own music being played with a full orchestra and a gospel choir!!!!!
I know right! So cool and I’m sure a full circle moment for them! 🔥
Jason is Robert's God Son, and told them he had a prior engagement so he could not attend this ceremony. Robert became very emotional to find that he was performing.
I have a feeling that you are quite familiar with the Mighty Zep. Heart has always admired them and covered them very well over the years. Perhaps do an analysis of any part of Zep's last performance at the O2 Arena in London 2007.
I am familiar with the legends but have actually never seen that performance! I need to check it out! Appreciate it! 🤘🏻
Jason Bonham still playing and touring with Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony of Van Halen.
Jason also played in a band called.... Led Zeppelin ✌️😎
🤣😂 Hope they make it big one day!
Don't forget Dolly Parton's cover.
Oh snap! I’ll have to check that out! 😳
You chose the edited version. In the full version the guitar solo is longer and the choir comes in later.
Robert Plant & John Bonham were in a band together before Zeppelin.They had a close relationship.When Robert;s son died in 1977 John went with Robert back to England.The rest of Zeppelin stayed in Los Angeles.Another reason that Robert's emotional because John isnt there to celebrate
Robert Plant is Jason's Godfather!
have you heard the original of this song , Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven 1973 Live Madison Square Gardens . this is a sticking plaster on the original
I’ve heard the original but not sure I’ve seen that specific performance!
