When Led Zeppelin heard that they were being honored, they invited Jason Bonham to be with them in the honorees section. He turned them down because he said that he had a previous engagement. Little did they know that the previous engagement was playing with Heart, to honor them.
I'm glad you explained that part- thank you.
important piece to this video for sure
Yes cool fact I forgot to mention
Super cool!
Good stuff ...👍
Yes they were being honored. Guy with mustache is Robert Plant and older guy with ponytail is Jimmy Paige. ( excellent guitarist). I agree they kinda drowned her out
🔥🔥🔥She was 62 when she did this performance. Greatest female rock vocalist of all time imo.
2nd best...not as good as Floor Jansen however.
Floor Jansen has her beat.
And she had the flu.
@@catbyte0679 Don't forget autotune
@@jamesw5353 Who is Floor Jansen?
Led Zeppelin is wearing the "rainbow" ribbons because they are Kennedy Center honorees. The colors represent many skills within the performing arts, such as music, dance, acting, etc.
The original drummer, John Bonham, was known to wear bowler hats during performances. The choir and his son wearing the hats was a tribute to John. He couldn't be there in person, but he was honored and not forgotten. This is one of the reasons Robert Plant was crying.
He is also Jason’s godfather.
The curtain rising and the choir coming in was magnificent enough. But when I saw that every last one of them were wearing bowler hats... man, Niagara Falls. 😭
I think John would have hated it. It was pompous and cringy.
The dislike button is down there! 👇 Cheers! 🤣
I saw an interview with Jason Bonham, that is actually his dad's Bowler hat.
Nice pick up ✌️
The Kennedy Center does the honors ceremony annually to honor folks who have made great contributions to performing arts. Led Zeppelin are the older men wearing the ribbons. All the honorees receive the ribbons. I cry evey time i listen to this performance.
cult sacrifices
Me too❤
Same
Me too!
I am 67, and tear up also when I see this every time....
Robert Plant (seated in the middle) & their late drummer John Bonham (his son Jason is playing his father's drum kit) were the closest members of the band.They pretty much grew up together living just 30 miles apart.It was an emotional performance.but,Robert shed tears mainly because John wasn't there to celebrate with them.After John's death it took 8 yrs for Robert to sing Stairway to Heaven again
the gentleman seated to Plant's left (our right) is Led Zeppelin's guitarist Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones (Bassist) is on Plant's other side
Also Plant is Jason's God Father, they had invited Jason to join them, he declined stating he had another engagement he couldn't get out of
how do you even know any of this, pure subjective speculation. YOU have never spoken one word to any of these men and have NO idea why he's emotional, Page is near tears as well. AND, Robert repeatedly said he hated the song, "I'd break out in hives if I had to sing it again....too long, who can even remember all the words." It was however true Page didn't, couldn't pick up a guitar, play for over 2 years after John died. THEY WERE ALL close.
@@christopherone1It is true. All of this is discussed on the Late Show with David Letterman and the band. You can watch it for yourself. No speculation as you so accuse.
@@christopherone1Robert & John met when they were 16.Robert & John in a band before Zeppelin.When Robert's son died during their US tour John went back to England with Robert.The rest stayed in America.When John died Robert went to console John's wife & son Jason.So they were the closest members
No woman out there can do what they do … these women are AMAZING.. always have been … these singers today can’t hold a candle 🕯️ to them … PERFECTION
I think of the lead guitarist.....
"So, you got the gig, dude. You'll be playing with Anne and Nancy Wilson (no pressure, man)."
"You're gonna play the Kennedy Center so the President will be there, too.....along with a few legendary musicians."
"You're gonna play 'Stairway' for Led Zeppelin. They'll be there so you better rehearse the solo. Oh yeah.....don't fuck up".
Not the LEAST bit of pressure!
Shane Fontayne…Shane Fontayne…Shane Fontayne. Nerves of steel!! Can you imagine playing that solo in front of Jimmy Page? OMG!!!!! It always tickles me that, in this performance, he kind of looks like “Sheldon Cooper”. I love it. LOL
So the 3 'old men' were the remaining members of Led Zeppelin. The drummer is Jason Bonham, his father (deceased) was Led Zeppelin's drummer. When he died (way to young) Led Zeppelin split up as a band. Though they did reform for a one off concert with Jason on drums.
The rainbow lanyard is worn by those getting honoured in the Kennedy Centre Honours which is an annual honours ceremony for people in the performing arts and the rainbow is meant to represent the spectrum of arts within the performing arts umbrella
Each year 5 recipients get honoured and this was from the 2012 gala event which honoured Led Zeppelin, David Letterman, Buddy Guy, Dustin Hoffman and Natalia Makarova
Buddy Guy was the guy who The Big Push covered What kind of woman is this from which you reacted to.
The drummer is Jason Bonham who is the son of John Bonham who was the drummer for Led Zeppelin and died in 1980
That is Led Zeppelin, best band ever!!!💜
Heart was a Led Zeppelin cover band before they started doing their own music. Incredible. Ann has one of the top rock vocals in history.
Kennedy Honors are done every year at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC. Heart often does covers of Led Zeppelin when they perform live in their own concerts. The 3 guys with the ribbons around their necks designates they are the honorees. Left to right the remaining members of Led Zeppelin is John Paul Jones, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. The Obama duo was there as he was President when this happened. The bowler hats on the choir members is a tribute to drummer John Bonham who often wore that kind of hat. His son Jason was behind the kit for this performance
Jason is a pretty damn good drummer in his own right… drumming for Sammy Hagar and his band
Dont forget. The bowler hat that jason is wearing is his fathers actual hat. And hes playing his fathers famous oversize Ludwig dum kit
And who sits on the left hand of Page?
The Asian guy in the audience they showed a few reaction shots of is Yoyo Ma, a famous classical cellist.
And when you can get Yoyo Ma to literally rock out.....
And the way he was feeling the music was almost translucent
I loved the way that Yoyo Ma was rocking out! Game recognizes game!
Yo mama?
I've watched this video many times, and have heard a few recordings of him playing, but couldn't figure out why he was featured. Thank you.
I LOVE when they panned on YO YO MA rockin out!
Yes this is an award honoring Zeppelin for the Performing Arts. This took place in 2012. Ann was 62 at the time. Now 73 & she still sounds great.
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this tribute but I do know I get goosebumps every time the 2nd choir comes in.
Same!
Yesssssssssssssss!!!!!
I've seen it so many times, every time!
Yes 👏🏻
Same
Those "dudes wearing rainbows" is LED ZEPPELIN. Being honored.
Three of them are the surviving members, but all of the honorees are wearing the rainbows. David Letterman is sitting alongside also wearing the ribbon and medal.
Research beforehand with reactions would really help. Many of them do. Reacting to Led Zeppelin and saying who are these old dudes is unbelievable
Kennedy Center Awards, they receive those
The drummer is wearing his deceased dad’s bowler hat and playing his drum kit as a tribute to his dad.
@@adwenbthat made me cry 😭 ❤ I graduated in 1980 and Stairway to Heaven is one of the songs that everyone wanted to learn on the guitar. 🎸
I've loved Heart and Led Zeppelin since the 70's. I was a teenager. I'm 62 now still listen to my Rock 🎶
One of the greatest performances of all times. Ive seen it a million times, and it always gives me chills. You dont need to apologize for what you dont know. Theres not a person in this world who was born knowing all that they needed to know. Its a journey for all of us, and its so wonderful going on this journey of great incredible music with you. Its all good.
So, treat yourself and viewers by just deep diving into Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd’s catalog. You’ll be forever so pleased you did. There’s a reason they are so loved.
Yessss, please!!!
Now watch a live performance of Zeppelin doing this.
Absolutely agree 💯
I forgot to add that this was my Senior Prom theme song so I'm old as hell and know what I'm talking about,🤣
1000% AGREE......WATCH STAIRWAY FROM MSG 73
that's the one!@@susannebass5503
Better to hear the real thing 🥳
I've got earache after hearing this pompous shite 😝
It always cracks me up to see John Paul Jones watching this - he and Heart have worked together a lot before, he was just smiling, knowing what they're capable of doing, just watching it all unfold. Almost in a proud way...after all, this is their legacy playing out in front of them.
The One and Only LED ZEPPELIN Sitting there deserving every bit of their tribute!!!!
The rainbow has nothing to do with anything except it's the ribbon that holds the medal!!!!! Also it represents all the different arts that are honored. That is the ribbon that holds all the medals when an artist is honored at the Kennedy Centre Honors! The drummer in Led Zeppelin, John Bonham has died and Jason Bonham is playing in this tribute to honor the band and his father. It was a complete surprise to the band who had asked Jason to accompany them to this event. Jason had to decline because it was a surprise for them. That's the part in the video where Robert Plant stood up and pointed at Jason because he was surprised.
Honors recipients are further celebrated with a medallion with rainbow-colored ribbons meant to symbolize “the spectrum of many skills within the performing arts," according to Ivan Chermayeff, who designed them.
So there is that
Yes that’s led zeppelin watching. Spectacular performance by heart
The best remake of a song I have ever heard. Heart does this song justice and even brings a tear to Robert Plant's eye. It is incredible. Then you have Jason Bonham on drums, the son of drummer John Bonham who died many years ago when he was little. John always wore that style of hat. It is emotional to watch and gives me chills every time I watch it. Led Zeppelin are one of Heart's influences and to perform this was a huge deal for these incredibly talented women.
THE KENNEDY CENTER HONORS is an event that honors artists from music, art, literature, movies etc. They bring on people who were inspired by them to speak or sing to them. Usually, the artists they are honoring are in the audience. So yes, that is Led Zeppelin watching them.
He's crying. Stairway To Heaven is Led Zeppelin's Baby. Very Iconic. Led Zeppelin's journey was straight FIRE! Also they're missing their fourth man Bonzo and wishing he was there to get that love and honor. (Robert and John were very very close). Plus Bonzo's son Jason is like a little Bonzo who was born into their band and he's like their Dear Son too..in a way. Nostalgia, Love, Painful Loss and all kinds of emotions coursing through this moment for them..
So Robert cries..
I always appreciated Heart - their talent was insane & the fact that it’s been decades now & they still have “it” is inspiring. 💜
Inspired me to stop listening to radio 🤣
This is the Kennedy Center honors Led Zepplin. The drummer, Jason, his father was the original drummer. The 3 men are the remaining members. Heart rocks this song!
Heart (Ann and Nancy Wilson) were heavily inspired by Led Zeppelin in the 70's and the opportunity to pay tribute to their idols in 2012 when the surviving members of Led Zeppelin (Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones) were honored by President Obama at the Kennedy Center ... and to be joined onstage by the late drummer John Bonham's son Jason Bonham on drums was epic.
The members of Led Zeppelin loved Heart's rendition of 'Stairway to Heaven'... and Ann Wilson was so happy to get Robert Plant's seal of approval.
Inspired by cheese in the 80s 😅
And I'm a fan of the 80s 😎
@@deanosaur808 It was the 70's... and cheese go great w/ burgers and nachos 😈
The rainbow represent the of the arts . the rainbow-colored ribbon symbolizes the range and versatility of skills in the field of performing arts.
They are so legendary. Listen to their albums🩷 John, John Paul, jimmy and robert! One of the most amazing bands in music history ❤
No you r spot on 100%. Yes that is led zeppelin. ❤❤❤
Those old guys are Led Zepprlin. Imagine the balls it took to play their most famous song right in front of them.
Luckily- Heart was perfect for the job as they cover LZ in their shows in addition to their own legendary material.
This was a fraction of the total LZ tribute at the Kennedy Center in DC. All Presidents attend these shows- only Trump refused to support them.
Singer Ann Wilson was 62 here! She remains a rock goddess.
The rainbows are part of the honorary medals they’re wearing.
Just enjoy!
It isn’t true that ALL presidents attend these shows. Do your homework regarding this and why President Trump didn’t attend.
That was the music industry's decision to turn on Trump!
I can’t imagine playing guitar to a Led Zeppelin song in front of Jimmy Page much less belting out this song in front of Robert Plant. Ann Wilson was perfect and her sister Nancy always with her.
Some people don't care what other think.
I don't either. Thought it was ghastly 😂
@@deanosaur808 that is very true people are people. it could have been much worse… it wasn’t.
Not only was Ann 62 when this happened, but she was also under the weather with the flu. Amazing!
You really should watch the FULL version of this performance
Led zeppelin version though 😉
He is crying. This is the Kennedy Center Honors program. The rainbows hold the awards.The audience was stellar too. The Oriental gentleman they focused on was YoYo Ma. Towards the end you see Bonnie Riatt rocking out.
True. They were drowning her out but , whooo, what an impact that whole scenario had!
Crying. Imagine, your biggest song and someone salutes you like that. Me too.
You've got to check out Adam Lambert's tribute to Cher when they honored her at the Kennedy Center Honors perform her song "Believe." Phenomenal Vocalist Adam Lambert, who has been singing with Queen for 10 years now, is one of my favorite xocalists of all time and his version of Believe made Cher cry, along with the public......
Those medals are The Kennedy Honors; the highest American Music Award.
Jason totally pranked his dad's bros, LOL! He was supposed to be in the VIP box and told them he couldn't be there, due to a previous engagement. #Surprise!!!
Kennedy center honors yhey wear the rainbow sashes when honored
The gray haired old dude is Jimmy Page.... I cannot imagine playing that guitar solo... in front of the guy that WROTE that guitar solo.... you watch his eyes... he is playing every note in his head, and his smile shows he is very well pleased..... for perspective... Jimmy Page was born in 1944, during WWII.
If you haven't watched the Original Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven........ You must watch this Original Video with them on Stage in the 70's !
Rainbow-colored ribbon symbolizes the range and versatility of skills in the field of performing arts.
This is the best cover of Stairway to Heaven I have ever heard. I cried the first time I heard it. Yes it is Led Zeppelin being honored. And it is Dark side of the moon by Pink Floyd with the prism. ❤
You should listen to the original
I absolutely agree with Ann’s vocals being louder than the rest.
He’d be crying my dude
Great reaction, you got most of it.
It's really worth to watch the whole tribute inclusive the speech of Jack Black, the performance of the Foo Fighters, Kid Rock and Lenny Kravitz. (I hope I didn't forget anyone).
Cheers from Berlin 👍🍀😎
Yes, that's what was happening. Zepplins Career was being honored by Kennedy center. Those were medals, with rainbow colored necklaces. There were many artists there to play there songs that night. This was the finale. The drummer is the son of Zep drummer John Bonham, who died in 1979. It was an emotional night for the remaining three band members. N no worries, you are doing an excellent job of learning and absorbing all this new info. Btw, please react to Zep doing stairway live at Madison Square Garden. It's incredible. Also, Ann n Nancy idolize Zeppelin....even though both active through 79s. Heart has done many Zep covers. .... Robert plant doesn't like covers of his music, but loved the way Ann does it...🙂
Probably the best live tribute to legends ever, and yes, Robert Plant was tearing up. Great performance.
I get goosebumps every time I see this. Love this performance and Zeppelin's reactions
That was awesome! The rainbow ribbons are holding the Kennedy Center Honors medallion with the honorees’ names on them. I agree with you that the choir was drowning out Ann! I love watching the faces of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, their smiles and tears make me smile! This indeed was a very special tribute! ❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Led Zeppelin from left to right: John Paul Jones (Bass), Robert Plant (Vocals), Jimmy Page (Guitar). At the drums playing is Jason Bonham, son of the deceased drummer Jon Bonham.
Heart is amazing the sisters and all gave an outstanding performance very very good ❤
Goosebumps and Boosegumps to come - A-Fluffin-Mazing!!!
Read all your comments, there is a wealth of knowledge there.This was a great tribute performance to honor Led Zeppelin.
Rock legends. And I’m not just talking about Zeppelin, but Heart!
This is a great homage to Led Zeppelin - another great performance from the Kennedy Center Honors is Adam Lambert’s reimagining of Cher’s Believe. Great to see artists performing music of the people they admire.
Legends honoring legends!
Yes it was the Kennedy center honors and they were being honored
Oh yeah this was the video that came to mind when you guys first found Heart. A dope tribute💯
Saw Heart with Jason Bonham Experience about ten years ago. Best concert I ever attended
Loved seeing Jimmie Page during the guitar solo feeling every note.
Ohhhh...love John Bonham's son Jason on the drums, love the bowler hats worn by the choir in respect to John Bonham...loved his son Jason wearing his Dad's bowler...loved the tears on Robert Plant and Jimmy Page's faces, loved the Wilson sister's performance...loved Shayne Fontayne's guitar solo performance...loved your reaction...DAMN... I am one HAPPY woman!
🤗OMG!! I support this awesome comment section wholeheartedly.... you need to start a Led Zeppelin Journey!!! Your reaction was so awesome but the fact that u didn't even know the song, who Led Zeppelin is in the scope of music history (and thier impact was/is HUGE) or the fact that Led Zeppelin was being honored here a (as a British band) for their contribution to the American culture and performing arts is a bit of a bummer... you would've been even more blown away had you known the true significance of this iconic tribute to Zeppelin. No worries, love your channel and your sincere reaction....
BUT PLEASE revisit this song with Zeppelin's studio version (released 1971 on their 4th album) and then follow up with their iconic 1973 live at Madison Square Garden performance.... you will get a better understanding for who they are and why they are considered the world over as one of the most influential bands of all time.
Sorry for the long comment😅 but this band is that important in music history! Period!👊💯 You'll soon find out! lol!!😁 Peace and light to all...✌💞
Such a brill video, heart certainly done them proud, bless Jason Bonham he done his dad proud. So very touching. ❤❤❤
The tenor sax player with the white hair and mustache (8:06) is 'Blue' Lou Marini from The Blues Brothers movie and the Saturday Night Live band.
The 3 guys with the rainbow necklaces, which are the awards they just received are the 3 remaining members of the group Led Zeppelin, the 4th member the drummer, John Bonam, died in 1980. The drummer with Heart was the son of John. He was actually playing his father’s drum set. When Ann sang the word Heaven at the very end you notice that Jason gazed up to the heavens in a loving jester to his father.
❤❤❤ Idk I just thought the rainbow ribbons ment that they were the ones getting honored. I don't know though 😂. The drummer is actually the son of the late bandmate who was their drummer that died in 1980 . From what I understand.
Yep that's Gonzo Bonzos kid
FYI. . Led Zeppelin formed 1968. Iconic . Original drummer , John Bonham died in 1980. Dude on drums his son. Great tribute by Heart, honoring the group. 👊!
The way you reacted when we saw Obummer and Big Mike is absolutely priceless😂😂. I had the same reaction when I first saw this video.
Staying away from politics: this performance was flawless! Ann nailed it; Heart really knocked this out of the park!! No one's gonna top this!
This is heart singing to Led Zeppelin and they are being inducted into the Kennedy center honors. A very high lifetime award! Cher, Dolly Pardon and few others have awesome people sing to them. Carol king who wrote natural woman was inducted and Aretha sang to her. You should look up more Kennedy Center Honors
You are spot on!
That IS Led Zeppelin watching and being honored...Robert Plant is teared up, both Jimmy Page & John Paul Jones are also very emotional. When John Bonham, the original drummer died in a plane crash, the band broke up then went on to play one more concert. Jason Bonham, John's son surprised them by playing the drums with Heart at this event.....What an incredible tribute especially having Heart, Anne & Nancy Wilson play one of the most iconic songs ever written....I'm so glad you were able to see this....
🎸🎶🎶🎵
He didn't die in a plane crash. He died in his sleep at pages home. Was discovered in the morning
Sure he got emotional, doesn't mean he liked it. Probably wished he was up there playing
It is always better to know the original song and something about the group before covers and especially honor shows.
I read that as 'horrors' 😱🤣
As a huge zeppelin fan this was a powerful performance and a amazing tribute by Heart. Somehow i never knew about this
Yes its Led Zeppelin...yes they're touched..
Great performance and tribute. I agree, they should have bumped up Ann's mic or dialed back the choir.
There is another version leaving out Jason's entrance and leaving in all the verses. On that version her mic is louder.
This is for sure one of the best covers, but u should definitely check out the original if u have never heard it!
The rainbow collars are worn by all of the Kennedy Center Honorees. Every year since 1978 honirs are given to those in the performing arts for lifetime achievements. Everything from music, stage, movies and the visual arts. Its truly a greay honor!. I know you like Garth Brooks. Check out when he was inducted! He is so humble about it and some huge stars show up to sing his music
You need to watch Led Zeppelin perform this live from Madison Square Garden in 1973. One of 5he best guitar solos you will ever see
Kennedy Center Honors are the ribbon. Yeah the British Stuff Upper Lip and all that. When the guitar solo but you could see Jimmy Page muttering the notes.
Best concert I've ever been to was Heart with Jason Bonham Experience opening for them. The encore was both bands on stage performing a 45 minute set of Led Zeppelin songs. Yes two lead guitars, drumkits, bass, rhythm guitars and three singers. This was the Kennedy Center honors. The ribbons were their awards
I saw them in concert also at Riverbend in Cincinnati. They were excellent
I saw Heart live right before Covid hit, they did this song.......without the choirs and extra instruments......wonderful!! Ann Wilson's voice is still as powerful now.
🎉 welcome to Led Zeppelin....yes thats THEM!
YES!! That was Led Zeppelin, being honored, KENNEDY CENTER. The rainbow 🌈 is the ribbon of the Presidential Award.
Yes, the choir and band was drowning out Ann Wilson. 😊❤
Also has known Led Zeppelin for many many years so it’s fitting that they do this song as the ending performance.
And heart is doing it real well with all their heart and soul. And a lot of rehearsal and practice had to go into this performance
When Led Zep gives you a standing O you deserve it
Yes those guys ARE Led Zeppelin!!!! You should play their rendition next!!!
You nailed it hon. Thus event is honoring Zeplin and this gents are indeed them. ❤
I’ve been watching you and am so glad you’re getting educated. I love seeing your reactions to some of the greatest music ever❣️🌹
This is an honor tribute from Lincoln Center to the group, Led Zeppelin. This song, Stairway to Heaven is an icon piece from that group. The rainbow ribbons are holding the honor metal they received from the Lincoln Center. Just enjoy the emotion of the music presented in the best arrangement of this song I have ever heard.
Ann and Nancy were HUGE fans of Led Z. They were younger and of the next generation and they based their band Heart after the influence of that band, so to be doing the tribute to them must have blown them away that they finally got to the big boy leads in doing this performance
3 of the 4 band members react emotionally as Heart and full band, orchestra, with many chorus singers pay tribute to one of their best songs.... while watching the son of their drummer perform as well.
No, that is the award given by the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. It is a very high honor.
And look how touched led Zeppelin is right now
Great and honest reaction as always. Part of why I love watching you is that you aren't afraid to ask questions for things you don't know. The rainbow ribbons are part of the Kennedy Center Honours they received. All inductees get them and the night is dedicated to them, so the night of this performance was all Led Zeppelin. The rainbow prism you are thinking of is Pink Floyd. The drummer is Jason Bonham, son of John Bonham - the original drummer of Led Zeppelin. The guitarist is Shane Fontayne who has played with Bruce Springsteen, Ian Hunter, Sting and more. Great performance all around. But yeah, I would have loved to hear Ann better.
I never tire of hearing this or seeing this. Masterful!
I LOVE your Soul Perspective ♥🎶✝️♥️🎶
The ribbon colors symbolizes 'a spectrum of many skills within the performing arts.'
