Heart are from my State of Washington. This was when Ann was 62 I believe. The guys on the balcony are the band that wrote and played this song. They are honoring them. They are legendary. Also, the drummer is the son of the old drummer who died years ago and he wore a black bowler hat like his dad. The choir all were honoring him and his memory by all wearing the black hat. Great reaction! I get goosebumps every time I hear this.
On December 2, 2012, Led Zeppelin received the Kennedy Center Honors from President Barack Obama. The drummer in the clip is the son of John Bonham, the late drummer for Led Zeppelin. The men in the booth next to the Obamas wearing the rainbow colored accolades are the members of Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin were huge back in the seventies. They influenced many artists in the decades since then, including Heart. Ann Wilson really put herself into this performance in tribute to Led Zeppelin.
Can you imagine the pressure of playing Led Zeppelin’s masterpiece in front of them? There are lots of familiar faces in the audience, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, the Obamas, Bonnie Raitt, Debbie Allen (sister of actress Phylicia Rashad), Tina Fey, Ray Ramano. Before Heart’s performance, Lenny Kavitz, KidvRock and Foo Fighters performed other Led Zeppelin songs, comedians honored Dave Letterman, as well as other honorees.
Beautiful performance!! That touched you!! So sweet!!! The LZ guys were John Paul Jones on the left, Robert Plant in the middle and Jimmy Page on the right.
Hi Blessing, I love your reaction to this video. The first time I saw this was pretty emotional, not only because of Ann Wilson's awesome vocals and the great arrangement and performance by the band and choir, but also due to the response from Led Zeppelin's singer, Robert Plant, up in the balcony. When the camera focused on him and you could see tears welling up in his eyes, I nearly lost it. BTW, just to recap what other people have mentioned...the 3 remaining members of Led Zeppelin were in the balcony with the rainbow ribbons around their necks. John Paul Jones (bassist/keyboardist) was on the left, Robert Plant (vocalist) was in the middle with the long curly hair and Jimmy Page (guitarist) was on the right with the long white hair. Their previous legendary drummer tragically died in 1980 at 32 y/o and that was his son, Jason Bonham, playing the drums and he and the choir were wearing the black bowler hats in remembrance of his dad, who use to wear a similar style hat. Also, the female acoustic guitarist is Ann's sister, Nancy Wilson, who is also in Heart. Heart has a lot of great songs and I would recommend checking out a couple of the classic songs, like Barracuda or Magic Man.
@@MrsPenPal And the drummer is Jason Bonham, the son of John Bonham, who was the original and only drummer for the band. When John died, the band ended their career together.
I still wonder how they pitched this gig to the lead guitarist... "Hi, Shayne Fontaine? How would you like to perform at the Kennedy Center Honors? You'll play THE most legendary guitar solo ever, in front of The Legend himself. And he WILL study your performance. No pressure!"
Led Zepplin stopped playing because the best friend and drummer died in 1980 just before the Coda tour. His son Jason is playing the drums. The surviving members are the 3 on the balcony getting the award. You can watch the whole award dedication to them on you tube.
Brilliant tribute and too alot of us Ann Wilson from Heart has always been the Queen of classic rock. It makes me cry, they are appreciated and bless Heart for that performance.
Led Zeppelin is the band I grew up admiring the most with the variety of music they put out was just amazing, thanks for sharing, have a great day, from Melody👍
Such a touching performance. People were feeling exactly the same way you were. In my opinion you deserve thousands of likes for your reaction. Now I would like to add some background information that I didn't see in the comments. American presidents give awards to artists like musicians, actors, dancers etc. for their contributions to the arts. These awards are given in a ceremony often at the Kennedy Center where this performance took place. This night was dedicated to honoring Led Zeppelin who you saw in the balcony wearing the medals. You only saw the Heart performance of this event. President Obama who listened to Led Zeppelin music when he was growing up gave a great speech about them earlier in the event. I think he also gave them the medals they were wearing. It's on You Tube if your interested. The actor you recognized was Jack Black who also gave a speech about Led Zeppelin. I've been watching a lot of your LZ reactions (I intend to watch all of them)and based on your comments I think you would absolutely love watching their performance of Kashmir live at Knebworth 1979 official video. I know you reacted twice to this song, but not to this amazing live performance. Lastly I would suggest doing a reaction to I Can't Quit You Babe live at The Royal Albert Hall 1970 official video.
I wish right? I want to but these copyrights and barely any support from the channel fans means I have to hold a day time job down fulltime. Some of these reactions I do them at odd hours, after work, its a labor of love I tell you. Take me as I am I do try my very best to keep up, you can't imagine the toll on me, but I am passionate about my PenPals, so I keep trying :)
@@MrsPenPal I fully understand your predicament. So I will enjoy any of the reactions you can do in the future! God Bless you! Thank you for responding back! You are the only one that has done that!
This was a tribute to Led Zeppelin on the night they were inducted into the Hall of Fame, so you see the original guys in the balcony watching Heart play their most famous song.
Actually Heart was formed in Washington, they then moved to Canada, back to Washington and one of their first big hits was Barracuda. LZ didn’t run into them until Heart was already well established. They do have mutual respect for each other and LZ gave them the okay to play any of their songs.
Heart was a big act , charting a lot of songs in the 1970s and 1980s. Ann and Nancy Wilson are often quoted as saying their music was influenced by LZ. And that they were really big fans of the band. This performance you watched was one piece of a video package from the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors tribute to LZ. It’s on YT. I think it’s around 20 minutes long. You should check it out, fam. ☮️
So apologies for repeating anything already in the comments. This is an edited version for tv, there are better versions yet floating around youtube with the full performance. You should track it down, it is worthwhile, because it is an amazing and wonderful cover. You can see famous musicians in audience digging it (Sheila E, Bonnie Raitt, YoYo Ma). Heart is 2 sisters, Ann (the singer) & Nancy (guitarist) Wilson, longtime Zeppelin fans. Ann was and is a powerhouse vocalist, they've always covered Zep tunes for years and years. The older guys they keep showing are surviving members of Zeppelin. R to L: Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, JP Jones. Page wrote the music to the song, Plant the lyrics. The drummer in the performance is Jason Bonham, son of the original Zep drummer John Bonham. John wore hats that style for a while, that's why Jason and part of the choir are wearing them. Zep didn't know Jason was performing in this tribute, that's why Robert Plant has tears in his eyes, since he was old old friends with John Bonham from pre-Zeppelin days, and Jason is longtime friend too. It was a great night, great tribute.
And just to add Plant tears are because John died very young (if I remember in Plant's home) and to see Jason performing just like his dad and looking his dad wearing the hat- emotional stuff
The four gentleman are the members of Led Zeppelin. Ann Wilson is one of the greatest singers ever. This is one of the greatest performances I've ever seen in over 60 years of listening to music. Heart had many great songs. Crazy on You, Alone, Never, Barracuda. Best success on yr channel
This was nice! I cry every time I watch this as well... and as someone who feels so well all the intentions of the performance as you, I would suggest you to react to Fleetwood Mac - Silver Springs live in 1997
@@MrsPenPal She's had a lot of plastic surgery on her face and a ton of makeup. Sadly she let her health go 30 years ago and got extremely fat...then she just kept getting fatter and fatter. Terribly dangerous for her heart muscle and overall health. Her obesity is why she has worn full body covering cloths in almost always BLACK color, to try and give the illusion she is not as fat as she is. I wish she would just exercise and stop eating herself to death. But, her voice is fantastic as always.
I've watched this video so many times, and I never get sick of it. It brings a tear to my eye too. I'd definitely recommend checking out Heart's other work. Sisters Ann Wilson (vocals) and Nancy Wilson (guitar) have a great discography stretching back to the '70s. Their most iconic songs are "Magic Man", "Barracuda", and "Crazy On You".
Do you know who this guy is? I'm surprised you don't know who that was! That's fucking Jimmy Page the Creator the Almighty of Led Zeppelin! And that's the whole Led Zeppelin band there for their honor!

To add for clarity, those old guys are the surviving members of Led Zeppelin, and they were being honored by The Kennedy Center, in Washington DC.

This is what you get when you get real musical talent together -something that just blows you away!

If you knew the whole story behind the people there, you would be even more emotional.
No doubt about that

"That guy" is Jimmy Page, the guitar player of Led Zeppelin. He's awesome and you are awesome for asking!
I'm hard pressed to decide what's more beautiful. This song performed by Heart, or You! Great reaction my Dear! Thank you!

Wonderful reaction. Thanks. ☮
Thank you for watching 🤗
That was Led Zeppelin and the drummer was the son of Led Zeppelins drummer.
Led Zeppelin found Heart performing in a club, and brought them/invited them on a tour if I remember correctly.
wow
I could be completely wrong, though. 😏

Who is this guy robert plant singer of led zeppelin :)

Plant wrote the lyrics and doesn't really rate the song. I think here he gets to experience the song to find what all the fuss is about.
