![Heart - Stairway to Heaven (Live at Kennedy Center Honors) [FULL VERSION] REACTION](/img/tr.png)
Robert misses his friend John Bonham and to be surprised to see Jason on stage playing his fathers drums hit him deep. Heart is so fantastic that even the huge resistance to women in rock n roll couldn’t stop them. Don’t miss Jimmy’s reaction to the enormous choir that comes in towards the end behind the band all wearing the infamous bowler hats worn by John Bonham. It’s emotional.
The story goes that Robert Plant had invited Jason Bonham to sit with the band in the honorees' box, and Jason declined because he "had a can't-miss gig" that night. Plant cried because this WAS the "can't-miss gig"!
Robert got very emotional, because he was thinking of John, seeing his son playing his drum kit.
😩
Jason had also 'pretended' that he couldn't make the event to be in the audience, while hiding the fact that he was actually going to be on stage 👍🏼
Yes it’s true
I was JUST going to write those exact words 👍
Jason Bonham on drums son of John Bonham the Led Zeppelin drummer who died in 1980. Led Zeppelin packed it in when he died. Robert Plant was devastated when he died.
They are all wearing the Bowler hat, UK or Derby, US as John Bonham did.
Jason looks to the heavens at the end.
Heart had been encorporating Zepplin songs into their live set list for years, and I'm sure had performed Stairway To Heaven live long before this. But never in front of Page, Plant, & Jones. This was Heart paying tremendous homeage to one of rock's most influential bands. This wasn't a cover, it was a compliment!
I never get tired of watching this performance ❤️❤️❤️
To be the guy selected to play one of most iconic guitar solos of all time in front of the guitar God who invented it....how much stress was he under, I can't even imagine, and yet he absolutely nailed it. Respect.
"Hey, Shane Fontayne, we need you to play THE most legendary guitar solo ever, in front of The Legend himself - and he WILL study your performance. No pressure!!"
Possibly the best rock song ever written, lyrically, musically, and powerfully.
I think Led Zeppelin championed Heart early on in their career, so they were the perfect choice for the tribute. Great reaction! 👏👏👏
And vice versa. Heart was heavily influenced by LZ.
The only band that could have done this song justice, is Heart!!! I still get goosebumps after more than 100x's listening to this amazing cover, great reaction!!!
Such an epic song, I'm 50, both versions still rip me in half, epic.
Culture icons are honored at the Kennedy Centre every year. They are always great. The president usually attends to show respect for the artists for their contribution to society
Love that 👏🏽
I'm so glad you watched this Jarrett! I loved your reaction & commentary. The greatest tribute performance I've ever seen!! Heart - Ann (lead singer) & her sister Nancy (guitar) - are the perfect choice to perform one of the greatest songs ever written to one of the best Rock & Roll bands ever. Ann's voice soars as always.
Annie Lennox & David Bowie coming next singing "Under Pressure" at the concert honoring Freddie after he past away. Queen and all star guests singing their songs. Even Robert Plant sang one!
I see why you recommended it now 🙏🏽🙌🏽❤️
One of the most iconic riffs. I can't imagine the pressure he felt playing net
It does my heart good to see younger people discovering the music i grew up with! There is so much out there, its nice to see it again...tks. ✌out😎
Thanks Donna
She was 62 years old when this was recorded!!! 👑💜💖🎙🎼
Wilson sisters have ice in their veins . Greatest performance I have ever seen . I try to be tough but I tear up everytime . It's so beautiful
The absolute best rendition I've ever heard period!
I teared up the first time I saw the performance. I still get goosebumps.
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST TRIBUTE EVER !!!!🎙🎼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Kennedy Center Honors are held every year in December. U.S. Presidents always attend (well, except one recent one) w/ the First Lady-- Obama's entire Cabinet was there on this night. So glad you did this one, Rad. Though Anne Wilson was ill, and the plane Heart was on was delayed by weather (they had little prep time before giving this performance) this has to be one of the best Kennedy Centers ever, and, in my opinion, THE best cover of this iconic song. Not to mention Mr. Balls of Steel who played that guitar solo so well, with Jimmy Page looking on! Great reaction, my friend.
This always makes me cry.......every single time and I've watched it more times than I can count
It’s very powerful. I can see why
Imagine playing an iconic Jimmy Page solo in front of Jimmy Page..
The nerves 😩
I'd have wet my pants! 😂 Massive props to that guy.
The emotion of watching John’s son Jason play His dads Drum Set made all of America emotional believe me I cried like a baby watching Jason … and having Ann and Nancy belt out an iconic song like that couldn’t help it even made my 350 pound biker husband cry like a baby
Emotional.
To me the greatest Rock band of all time. To watch the rock legends perform in front of Rock Gods is just that. Emotional thanks bro that was a ride!
That whole ceremony was awesome!
Kennedy Center Honors is a yearly thing dedicated to play tribute to the arts (music, comedy, dance etc) Each year 3 (or is it 4?) people are chosen and honored. Other people go on stage and do the honoree's stuff or talk about them etc. Tribute type things. The President is not part of the choosing but except for a certain 4 years they are there. While I agree this is the best one I've seen there are other really epic tributes from Kennedy Center out there. One that comes to mind off hand is Steven Tyler tribute to Paul McCartney and also Aretha's tribute to Carol King.
Aretha/Carole King was AWESOME!! ❤👍🏽
Beonce's "Proud Mary" for TIna Turner's tribute was pretty good too.
This is the very best cover of Stairway To Heaven ever! I still get chills.
This is one of the most iconic lead-guitar lines in rock history. He didn't butcher it but he truncated it a bit - and that may have been to fit it within the show's schedule (which would be a crime - I'd rather see the guitarist 'fail' individually than to have a buncha stuffed-shirts castrate music). You're absolutely right - "this is a production." Absolutely. And so well deserved.
Jarrett, i’ve been waiting for you to watch this video for a long time. You just witnessed an amazing tribute to Led Zeppelin! The guy playing the drums is the son of the guy who played the drums for Led Zeppelin I believe. I think it was the guy that was getting all smiley and emotional at the end. But what you saw was amazing. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this video and I get teary-eyed every time. I’m grateful to have grown up on this music!!!
It’s the Kennedy Center Honors. The current President of the United States is always in attendance.
Yes, it is Jason Bonham, John Bonham's son. The bowler hat was a trademark of John, hence the tribute. In fact, the hat Jason is wearing was John's actual hat. Part of the reason for it being so emotional is that the guys have known Jason all his life and, indeed, the only time Zep ever played without John, after his death, it was Jason who played with them.
Nice! Thank you for that last bit of info on the awards. Amazing performance
So happy you chose this one!🔥♥️🎶 AWESOME!!
Loved it!
Kennedy Center Honors are amazing. This is the best, but Aretha Franklin's "Natural Woman" for Carol King, Steve Tyler's tribute to Paul McCartney, Beth Hart and Jeff Beck for Buddy Guy (I'd rather go blind) would be nice to see also
I get emotional every time I watch this video when Jimmy Page and Robert Plant begin to tear up. Best tribute song I have ever seen...... hands down! I am 65 years old, grew up with Led Zeppelin and I am still in awe of their music to this day and 4ever I am sure. First time listener to your channel...... really like your demeanor. Now a new subscriber. Thanks for reacting.
Check out the full version. CBS cut out parts of it for time. The full version is totally worth the rewatch. It has more verses and the entire guitar solo. It’s AWESOME ❤️❤️
Queens of Rock and Roll! Ann and Nancy Wilson remain the best! Please react to more Heart!
When Anne & Nancy were starting out, playing gigs in bars, college auditoriums and whatnot, they did a lot of Zep covers. They met Zep fairly early on, and the two bands were mutual fans of one another. Choosing them to do this was a no-brainer, and obviously they did not disappoint. I've suggested it to a number of reactors but no one yet has done it that I know of-- if you would like to hear another awesome Zep cover check out Immigrant Song (Anne Wilson solo, audio version). She slays it.
For some reason I tear up every time I watch this song. lol. SO GOOD.
John Bonham was known to wear a bowler style hat. So not only was his son wearing one to honor him, the entire choir at the end was wearing them. Such a moving tribute.
I wish every reactor watched this video and avoided edits. This was the perfect reaction. You are awesome my guy.
Thanks David 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Rad: appreciate your intelligent comments-'reation' to this incredible performance. This was truly special, the celebrities/performers in the audience, the original band members, the original drummer's son playing for him, the incredible orchestration, adding a chrior (two actually), expertly combined, resulted in a phenomenal production/performance. It will never be duplicated.
Robert Plant (center), John Paul Jones (left of Robert), and Jimmy Page (right of Robert) are the remaining members of the band. John Bonham died in 1980 -his son Jason is playing the drums.
The Event With the President at The Kennedy Center is an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture.
Thank you for reacting - your always smooth and clear! 👍🏼
Thank you 🙏🏽
Saw Heart do this on their tour a few years ago, with Jason on drums. It was fabulous.
Buddy Guy was honored on the same evening. Check out Jeff Beck and Beth Hart performing I'd Rather Go Blind. What a huge night that was!
Heart is a legend in their own right.
❤️❤️❤️‼️ showing you some love as I am already a subscriber and bell ringer🙂✌️. I was looking forward to your reaction to this as I knew it would not fail to impress you. How can it not?
A commenter on this video a while back made this statement:
You are watching Rock Legends
Cover Rock Gods
In front of said Rock Gods
On a night the Rock Gods are being honored
For their Rock Godliness
Choosing the Rock Gods most famous song
And they slayed it...
That pretty much sums it up. Afterwards Robert Plant told Ann Wilson he usually doesn't like it when this song gets covered but that night he liked it! Yes that had to be quite the emotional moment. I never get tired of watching this. ✌️🎶
Thanks Harriett. I love that description ❤️
The whole tribute is awesome and worth the look.
So excited you checked this out!! Heart and other musicians knocked it out of the park! I tear up each time I see it. ☮️
Epic performance. Great reaction!
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Larga vida al Rock & Roll !!!
I'm glad you saw the Kennedy Center Honors by Heart! Incredible!
The way Jimmy describes it they are trying to "invite you in" *intoxicate you"
I hope you listen to this again without stopping to comment. It’s magic. If you want the entire 20 mins tribute to Led Zeppelin is on you tube. You will see Foo Fighters, Kid Rock, Lenny Kravitz ending with Heart.

Robert Plant said they had grown to really hate this song because the tragic covers had destroyed it. But this…. He said to Nancy Wilson , “Do you know how much I hate that song?” And I was like, “What?” And he said, “Because nobody ever does it any justice. But you guys did. Way to go!”
My sentiments about covers in general, I agree with him. But there are a few…. Like this one.
I’ve only ever heard this cover. I think I’ll stop there lol
So beautiful, tears in my eyes.
I am so glad that you decided to do this song, it is a fantastic performance. Heart is such a fantastic group. Thank you for doing this reaction.
Fabulous Thank You
I was extremely skeptical when I heard Heart was going to perform this and it wasn't because I don't think Heart is great! I absolutely love Heart! But there are a few songs that should never be covered and this is one! Many have tried and failed miserably! This blew me away! Led Zeppelin was on a completely different level of greatness! When the drummer, John Bonham, passed away in 1980, Led Zeppelin ceased to exist and the remaining members didn't take the stage together again until 2009. They performed one show, and only one show at the 02 Arena in London! Here's the unbelievable part - there was 20 million requests for tickets! That's a record for a music performance that I don't see ever being broken!
What an awesome song great reaction you totally get it.
🙏🏽
Ann Wilson was 61 years old in this video. Let that sink in.
If you watch the whole Led Zeppelin segment of the show, Jack Black did the introductions and a quick retrospective of the band. Then the Foo Fighters performed "Rock and Roll". Kid Rock followed with "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" and "Ramble On". Lenny Kravitz rocked it with "Whole Lotta Love", followed by the Heart tribute. If you watch the entire show, also honored were Buddy Guy, ballerina Natalia Makarova, David Letterman, and Dustin Hoffman.
the Wilson sisters are AMAZING
A superb performance & reaction.
superb analysis and reaction...love your calm and even voice.....well done..
Thanks Michael 🙏🏽
Knew you'd love it.
I most certainly did 🙌🏽
Robert Plant later said he was emotional because he was missing his friend John Bonham.
Loved your reaction!! Heart actually started out as a led zeppelin cover band. 🖖🏻😊🇨🇦💥
Thanks Tessa 🙏🏽
I love this song and this video. TY.
🙏🏽🙏🏽
I also want to add that the ladies from heart and Led Zeppelin are very close and old friends so for them to do this was probably really emotional for them also I’ve seen heart many many times and every single show they cover Led Zeppelin song that I’ve ever seen and it’s always different
I usually prefer the originals but in my daughter’s words this is “AWESOME”. The other cover I just love is Sounds of Silence by Disturbed but listen to the Simon and Garfunkel original first so you can see how different it is.
It’s because of everything going on in the video
Thanks Rad, this is the best cover of this song and there has been about 26 of them 😁
Yes, been waiting for you to react to this!!! xx
🙌🏽🙌🏽😅
Uncle Robert, Uncle John Uncle Jimmy
Ann Wilson was 62 years old when she belted that out.
So glad you finally got to this! Awesome! I must say you are so articulate. Impressive vocabulary and grasp of the entire performance......GREAT ‘breakdown’ once again! Thank you!♥️☮️😎
Thanks Elizabeth ❤️
@@RadJarrettTheIntrovert you are welcome! Looking forward to Nightwish, Phantom of the Opera 😉😎☮️♥️
Really enjoyed your style…checking out your other reactions!
Queen Now I'm Here (John Deacon cameras) Wembly 1986
Robert is in the middle, John on the left, Jimmy on the right. This version is the chopped up one. The full version shows a little more.
This version was edited by CBS for the TV broadcast, see if you can find the full version as this misses part of the performance and Ann’s incredible vocals.
This is from the Kennedy Center honors that’s why the president is there and if you look in the audience anyone that has the rainbow around their neck has received the honor in the past and there’s a lot of famous people in that audience you see Debbie Allen Bonnie Raitt Stephen Colbert. Also to have the son of their original drummer playing the drums with the hat on and then the curtain goes up and the whole chorus is wearing the hat it was very emotional for them you could tell
Franz Ferdinand performs 'Take Me Out' | T in the Park 2014 - BBC worth watching 🙋♀️👍🏴
You need to watch the long version..this performance is much better with the longer one. Better goosebumps!
Fabulous video, absolutely fabulous reaction!!!!! Great job!!!!
Thank you!
Great reaction!!!
Good review!
Thank you!
Up in the gantry from left to right, John Paul Jones, Robert Plant, Middle, and Jimmy Page with white hair
I lose it every time I watch this video and see Robert Plant points his finger at Jason at the beginning.
Heart has has Led Zeppelin's approval for a long time. They have recorded other LZ songs with their permission.
Left to right, John Paul Jones, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page. It would be hard to honor them if they weren't there.
Never tire watching reactions to this a few other videos. Love your vibe!! 👍🏽 Rock Goddesses honoring Rock Royalty really.
Looks like you're filled in.
For you, since I believe you really enjoyed this, might like to watch the entire LZ Kennedy Center Honors with Lenny, Kidd Rock, Foo Fighters think Jack Black did the intro.
Not react to, just for you.
Fyi, there is another version, this was cut. When Jason is introduced you see Robert's reaction, he didn't know Jason would be on drums, kinda think that plays a huge part in this story!!
PS...new sub. 👍🏽
Jason Bonham is the drummer in Sammy Hagar's band The circle.
You should watch the whole tribute to them. Some great performances of their songs by the other artists you see at the end.
Wish I could upvote this x1000. The entire tribute is excellent.
I think i will
@@RadJarrettTheIntrovert you won’t regret it.
Can you imagine performing that song in front of Led zeppelin.
First time on your channel. I relly enjoyed this. Nice job.
Love that word Magnitude. Don't hear it used much.
I really wish they would get rid of this cut down version of the performance...the full one is way better imo. This performance is so amazing!
Bittersweet..time is a bastard...but the music goes on
In addition to President and Michelle Obama, they also showed in the audience legendary violinist Yo-Yo Ma, choreographer Debbie Allen, and David Letterman.
This is the cut version, do yourself a favor and seek out the full version, it is worth the extra couple of minutes, I promise...
Incredible, isn't it? Slays me, rips my guts out every time!! 8'>D
Yes, in a cursory couple of looks I recognized Lenny Kravitz, Dave Grohl from Nirvana and Foo Fighters, also Pat Smear from the Foos, two to Jack Black's right, our left.
Yes that was Lenny Kravitz and Davd Grohl and Jack Black. All did earlier tributes before Heart did their performance.
Nice!
FYI - There is a full, unedited version out there that I recommend. This is the one from broadcast tv that shortened parts of the performance for time.
Oh my God The unedited version is 10 times better. I can’t believe someone suggested this version. Here’s the unedited. ua-cam.com/video/LFxOaDeJmXk/v-deo.html
Thank you for mentioning this (and Coldrush, below). It's better because it's unedited, because no one wants less of this! Still there's little point in seeing the full version after seeing this one, unless you're a particular fan. The verse and nuances and the theatrical reveals are beautiful, but I fear few would re-watch this for the 8% that was cut, unless some time had passed. The fact that the performance's inherent wonderfulness remains largely intact even in this rendition is a testament to their great...heart...they brought to this 'thank you'.
Yeah this was definitely shortened. There is a longer, better one.
You watched the CBS TV edited version - an insult to Led Zep and Heart. They cut out an important verse and half the solo. Cool you enjoyed it.
