This one of the only reactors I've seen that knew all the history behind the performance, that knew Jason, the importance of the bowlers.... thank you. Incredible reaction 💖🏳️🌈
One of the greatest Rock performances in history. World class musicians honoring Rock Royalty. I have watched this a hundred times over the years and I love it more and more.
Can't watch this video without tearing up. A worthy performance in honor of, arguably, the greatest rock band to ever grace planet earth! Led Zeppelin's reaction........ PRICELESS! America did our boys from across the pond some righteous justice, for sure. Anybody and everybody who had a hand in orchestrating this performance should be very, very proud of themselves. The best tribute to a rock band I have ever seen, hands down! If I had to pick an honorable mention it would have to go to the lead guitarist in his performance in front of Jimmy Page.....spectacular! Great comments during the reaction, I learned a lot, TY.
In 1979, I met a girl that lived 3 houses from Ann Wilson. Was invited to a "friends and neighbors" Bar-B-Q. I had seen Heart many times before, but there I was... and I sat next to Ann. Her voice MOVED MY HAIR !!! Holy crap. Singing Beatle tunes and such. Have since met many times, and they let me film a lot of their shows. All on my channel !
So nice to watch a reaction from someone who knows the music and history of the bands. Also great to see the reactions of people new to the music. Looks like the two of you have covered both aspects. Thank you.
There are so many things to love about the way this is done. Ann did an amazing job keeping her voice out front and dominate over all those instruments and vocals. There was just enough guitar solo to fit the song but Jason was highlighted at the same time. The people who arranged this and brought in the orchestra and choir so seamlessly did a fantastic job.
Loved the gentleman's comments, he seems very knowledgeable. The guitarist is Shane Fontayne. I dont know much about him other than that he's played with a lot of bands over many years, and did a fantastic job here!
Thanks for the info William, Yeah I don't know much about him either, but to play that solo in front of the Master, takes guts and talent and he had both that night.
I couldn't agree more. I was so impressed with the job he did with Jimmy Page's legendary guitar lead in this performance that I spent a bit of time researching around to find out who this guitarist was. Yea, Mr. Shayne Fontayne, ( what a cool name to boot huh?) I applaud everyone who performed this timeless epic cornerstone of music, Heart, Jason Bonham, all the beautifully orchestrated musicians backing them up, the choir singers... absolutely stellar...and but, last but certainly not least was the guitar work by Mr. Fontayne especially since there he was, in front of the original writer and performer of such a distinctly recognizable and legendary guitar solo stepping right up and nailing it down tighter than a master crafter carpenter in front of all eyes...brilliant job indeed!
Shane Fontayne is a session and tour guitarist who worked several gigs since the 1970s. He’s done a tour with Bruce Springsteen. Led Zeppelin may already know either from being in the studio or from concerts that they played.
I don't know how many times I've watched this vid, and it gives me chills every time. The Asian gentleman in the audience was Yoyo Ma, the famous cellist, and the lady with her hands in the air banging her air drums was Bonnie Raitt. Thank you, sir, for all of your info. It put an extra punch in the commentary. Thanks!
I've seen this several times, and it's nice to see Hank giving us all the information. Sometimes reactors don't even mention the three original members of Led Zeppelin up in the balcony.. Anyway, I love this more every time I watch it - I also have loved Heart since the '70s.
Great commentary I can see you’re not only a true fan but Very well informed the sad part is she has no clue you’ve had to explain the performance more than twice hopefully she’s a fan now how can you not be
No they're not just fans they idolized Led Zeppelin as teens. Heart was the only band all night that got a standing ovation not only from the crowd but Led Zeppelin members themselves. Robert Plant says this is the best cover of Stairway to Heaven he's heard. Can you imagine getting that complement from your idols Zeppelin died 2 days after Bonzo died.
Heart was originally formed by Ann Wilson and the lead guitarists in the 70's. After some time Nancy came up from Seattle to Vancouver to join them before they were famous. "Magic Man" one of their biggest early hits, was written by Ann for the guitarist who she was dating at the time. They had some big hits in the mid 70's to early 80's then fell off the scene for awhile. Then in the mid to late 80's they reformed with just the two sisters and some random band remembers. Maybe one of the originally Heart members was with them. the drummer or bassist but I am not sure. When they reformed They no longer wrote their songs and they became more mainstream and did a lot of power ballad type music. They actually had a more successful career after they reformed with many hits and for about 5 years they were one of the biggest rock bands in the world.
I always tear up when I hear Heart do this in front of the Gods. And I don't read lips, but I'm pretty sure that Jimmy Page said a bad word when he realized how fantastic this cover was. :)
John Bonham's son is playing the drum's in his dad's place, it really shook up the remaining band member's just seeing him and hearing him brought back so many memories of there one and only drummer.
Legends singing to gods...EPIC!!! So glad you watched this...Ann Wilson nailed it and the way the drummer looks to heaven for his dad at the end...I cried 🖖🏻🇨🇦😀
I have been binge watching Reaction Videos on this video and get chills EVERY sticking time! Thank you for knowing the background on Jason Bonham and the importance of the bowler hat and your knowledge about Heart. Most of the others I have watched don't even know that the three old guys they keep showing are Led Zeppelin! Good job and thank you for this! Much appreciated!
Heart has a ton of great songs but their most famous rock songs r Barracuda, Magic Man and Crazy on you and many more. They did some Pop type of songs in the 80s for MTV like Alone, Never and what about love.....as I said, Ann Wilson has a voice for the ages.
Just to let you... John Paul Jones in 1994 produced a Heart album (The Road Home). It was a live acoustical album made of many of their hits. Also a great cover of aJoni Mitchell song, 'River'.He also played on a number of the songs.
Brother-in-law (Led Zeppelin fans ) just to let you know that Led Zeppelin just announce today that they are having a special streaming global watching party on 5-30-2020 of The Celebration Day Concert live at 02 Arena. By the way I would loney trust Heart to do Led Zeppelin justice.
Thanks for the tip ghadley, I'm going to try and catch it as it was a great concert. I agree about Heart doing L Z justice. Ann Wilson has an incredible voice and can still hit those high notes that I don't even Robert can anymore.😁
Thank you for your great reaction , your comments were spot on . I never get tired of seeing this video , Ann & Nancy ( WOW ) plus the rest of choir & musicians , fantastic tribute to a legendary rock band .❤️👍🙏Jason on Drums with the hat ( great tribute to his dad , probably the greatest rock drummer ever . RIP John .😔🙏❤️
Yes they're great.i went to one of there concerts 1980 in Colorado, boulder college stadium. It was George Thurgood, heart,rolling stones best concert ever.
Except for Ann and Nancy Wilson of "Heart " and Drummer Jason Bonham all others playing instruments including guitar player's and choir members were picked by Obama him self for this as well as other events . This honoring of Led Zeppelin at The Kennedy Center was done through Obama who is the first and only President to give or show honor to the Led Zeppelin Band members as well as having shown honor other rock and roll legends and musical artist .
Nice video guys! New to the channel but like the way Jimmy explained the Rock and Roll to ya! I've been rocking for over 50 years and i tell you that you need to do more Heart songs!!
My sister got to see them at Bemidji State College back in 1976 when they were just starting out. She introduced me to them. I consider them my favorite band
You make Robert Plant cry you know you did something right. Arguably the greatest cover ever done. Shane has been a session musician for years. Played for years with CSN and the E street band. Albums , tours does it all a phenomenal guitarist.
Robert Plant invited Jason to sit with them in place of his dad. Jason said he couldnt because of a prior commitment. They didnt know Heart with Jason was going to perform that night for them.
I have one more trinket of interesting information for you two. I see that you live in Miami. I lived in Miami for 15 years when my work was at Eastern Airlines. I loved Miami, both the area and the people. As you probably remember, the Bee Gees lived in Miami on Star Island. One day, Barry Gibb was driving to work on the I 95 freeway through downtown Miami. As he drove, he noticed the sound of his tires hitting the expansion joints of the bridges. He was amazed at the constant repetitive sound of this. When he got downtown to the recording studio, he mentioned this to the recording technician and suggested that maybe they could use the beat in the new song that they were recording. Barry even gave the song the possible name of "Drive Talking". The technician didn't like that name and suggested "Jive Talking" instead. Now, please listen to the beginning beat of this song and you will hear the bridges of I 95. www.bing.com/videos/search?q=jive+talkin+extended+version&&view=detail&mid=682F3B88238BD2F2B377682F3B88238BD2F2B377&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Djive%2Btalkin%2Bextended%2Bversion%26qpvt%3Djive%2Btalkin%2Bextended%2Bversion%26FORM%3DVDRE
Only Ann and Nancy were from Heart. The rest of the musicians were excellent professional musicians. Jason agreed to do this but only if Heart sang the song.
You should listen to Ann wilson cover of Led Zeppelin "Going to California " ua-cam.com/video/QU1H3LDIzWY/v-deo.html She was 71 yrs old. I think it's amazing!! Love you both, great feedback and emotion. ❤❤
2:26 "who is that?" I wonder if Moses looked at the burning bush and asked himself the same question (hyperbolic metaphor? sure..except that Plant is a ROCK ,& ROLL GOD!) Oh, and at 2:48 "Jimmy who ?" Whatttttttttttt?!!!;
This one of the only reactors I've seen that knew all the history behind the performance, that knew Jason, the importance of the bowlers.... thank you. Incredible reaction 💖🏳️🌈
Thank you Judith.
One of the greatest Rock performances in history. World class musicians honoring Rock Royalty. I have watched this a hundred times over the years and I love it more and more.
Great music never gets old Ninline.
And every time my eyes mist up! Truly awsome!
I'm pretty sure I could listen to this 10 times day every day of my life and get tears every time

Jason looks to the heavens at the end, I'm sure his dad was smiling down.
You think his father in the heaven?
I have watched this so many times. It gives me chills everytime. Love it when Ann's voice shreds at the top of the rock part.
I've seen Heart in concert. Back in 2009. Amazing show. Amazing band. Opened up with Baricuda.
An absolute masterpiece
Just remember Ann was 62 when she did this. Amazing.
I don't know how many times I've watched this vid, and it gives me chills every time. The Asian gentleman in the audience was Yoyo Ma, the famous cellist, and the lady with her hands in the air banging her air drums was Bonnie Raitt.
Thank you, sir, for all of your info. It put an extra punch in the commentary.
Thanks!
Jimmy's reaction is priceless and his smile and laughter is infectious. Great reaction keep it up and always Stay Safe x
Jimmy's reactions & facial expressions were my favorite.
I've seen this several times, and it's nice to see Hank giving us all the information. Sometimes reactors don't even mention the three original members of Led Zeppelin up in the balcony.. Anyway, I love this more every time I watch it - I also have loved Heart since the '70s.
N what about Bonzo's son Jason on the drums here
Yeah, Jason is incredible.
Bonzo would be proud.
The guy on the left should have his own channel. He’s so knowledgeable.
I have seen this a hundred times and truly enjoyed your passion and your knowledge. I learned so much more this time. than You !!
Thank you for watching Michael.
Nancy is a really good singer as well.....she sings lead on Heart's hit song "These Dreams"
Great commentary I can see you’re not only a true fan but Very well informed the sad part is she has no clue you’ve had to explain the performance more than twice hopefully she’s a fan now how can you not be
You did the best job of identifying the band and explain what is going on! Bravo!

I can watch the tribute over and over again.
I DO watch it over and over again! ❤️
Jason Bonham on drums! Bonzo's son!!!
He absolutely killed it too!
when this was done Ann was 63 and Nancy was 59 Heart is touring Canada and Europe this year but will be back in the states next year.
Mr Hank thank you so much for your Zeppelin Passing
John Bonham's son is playing the drum's in his dad's place, it really shook up the remaining band member's just seeing him and hearing him brought back so many memories of there one and only drummer.
Band members seen Jason playing drums many times before
Phenomenal!! Everytime I see it!!!!❤️. 🤘🏼✌️
Your brother makes this reaction, he's excellent

I love her voice 😊 they have so many songs. More Heart coming soon 🤗 thank you for watching 😍
@@SassyOcampo PLEASE REACT TO "LIVE ALIVE" a deeper cut from the Little Queen album (catch the live in 1978 version with Ann SLAYING the flute!!)
Just to let you... John Paul Jones in 1994 produced a Heart album (The Road Home). It was a live acoustical album made of many of their hits. Also a great cover of aJoni Mitchell song, 'River'.He also played on a number of the songs.
Grear info Mike,
I'm familiar with the album but didn't know JPJ produced it, though I'm not surprised.
Thanks.
Nancy on guitar, and Jason Bonham on drums
Ann Wilson also lives there in Florida! Another cool neighbor haha

I saw them with the Eagles and Little River Band, great show also. But I like your line up better.
ann was 62 and her sister was 58 when they did this
Thnx for a great reaction.

The best live version by anyone other than the mighty Zep themselves.
Thank you so much for your acknoledge about before talking !
Jason fit absolutely in his fathers shoes!
If you want to hear her magnificent pipes, listen to their version of tell it like it is.
I have to check it out thanks 😊
I love your brother in law. He's so incredibly informative.
Jason is now in a band called The Circle with Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony and Vic Johnson.
The drummer, in the black hat, is Jason Bonham the son of the late Zepplin drummer, John Bonham
Love your reaction try Heart barracuda
Yes Barracuda I love that song 🤗
No one can match Ann's voice. No one.

I think zepp was surprised to see john Bonham son Jason playing drums that night.
You seem to like a lot of British Bands 💕
Yes of course Glastonbury,
But I also like American bands as well.👍🎸
Love Heart though, what a voice 👍💕
You sir are better than Wiki!!
Heart goes back to the early seventies with dreamboat Annie
And for Robert Plante hating bands touching his Baby stairway to heaven he loved it
Only Ann and Nancy were from Heart. The rest of the musicians were excellent professional musicians. Jason agreed to do this but only if Heart sang the song.
React to queen live at rainbow more or jaco pastorius
Ann was 62 at that time.
Ann was 62 & Nancy 60 when this was recorded.
Do barracuda !
You should listen to Ann wilson cover of Led Zeppelin "Going to California " ua-cam.com/video/QU1H3LDIzWY/v-deo.html
She was 71 yrs old. I think it's amazing!! Love you both, great feedback and emotion. ❤❤
I will definitely check it out. Thanks Sherry 😊
2:26 "who is that?" I wonder if Moses looked at the burning bush and asked himself the same question (hyperbolic metaphor? sure..except that Plant is a ROCK ,& ROLL GOD!)
Oh, and at 2:48 "Jimmy who ?"
Whatttttttttttt?!!!;
Jason Bonham plays for Foreigner I think now
Ann was 62 Nancy was 58
They should get their sound right on the video before they present it to us. I had to delete it after a couple of minutes.
Im going to be brokenhearted when any of the guys from Zeppelin pass.
barracuda
Why do so many UA-camrs have such bad audio quality to the videos? I can barely hear you two.
Watch the whole tribute to led zeppelin. Foo fighters sings rock and roll.
Robert Plant is 64 here and Jimmy Page is 70... John Paul is 66
so who was the guitarist? Lot of pressure. Of course Ann is saying try the intro.
How much pressure to play a song written by the Gods for the Gods? My guess is plenty. You'll have to be really good.
And he was really good Allens.
Also, please get off the dope
😁👍🎸
The Obamas sent them to the Rock Heavens rock on
Well dammit, I went to your videos to watch your reaction to more HEART but I guess you didn't do it like you said.
