    Yes, the drummer is Jason Bonham, John's son .. He is, in his own right, an excellent drummer!
    Ann & Nancy are truly The Queens of Rock and made The Mighty Zep quite proud with this tribute ..

When I was in my 20's I had no break and could go from low base straight up through falsetto and hit the second highest F on the piano. It's not what we could do. I can't even sing anymore, but that's not the issue. The fact that Nancy Wilson can do this at her age and blow away a 100 person choir is testament to what she is still capable of and it's...Amazing!

  • @reneeallen3569

    The main story behind this is Plant HATED when anyone covered this song. Heart back in the day said “we don’t want to sleep with Led Zeppelin. We want to BE them!”. So… Ann was very nervous to sing this song. Afterward, they were back stage. Ann asked Robert if they did ok. Robert said that he wanted no one else BUT her to sing the song and he was proud of her. Yes that is john Bon ham’s son. Jason.

    There are a couple of things about this performance that had me choked up the first time I saw it. First of all, the whole performance itself was epic and they obviously went out of their way to make it epic. A full choir? Anne and Nancy. And can we take just a moment to appreciate the balls on Shane Fontayne to step out there and play that lead in front of Jimmy? Add Jason Bonham on the drums to the list of awesomeness. Aside from all that though, back in the day when Led Zeppelin was popular they took a lot of heat from certain political corners as being a satanic band, blah, blah...And there was always the rumors of back masking satanic messages in that song, so to see them give that tribute at the Kennedy Center, in front of Obama and half of Washington, meant a lot. At least to me.

    I knew the journey you would be going on as I am a huge fan of Ann Wilson. I enjoyed your reaction, had me grinning from ear to ear because Ann always brings it. The drummer is the son of the original drummer for Ledzeppelin so very emotional performance for him too. Heart rock like few ladies did back in the day and they were beautiful inside and out and still are. To this day I haven't seen them live but I ain't dead yet so there is hope.

    Led Zeppelin was just one of the performers honored that night. Their tribute started with Foo Fighters playing "Rock and Roll". Then Kid Rock performed "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" and "Ramble On". Next came Lenny Kravitz with "Whole Lotta Love". Heart closed the Led Zeppelin portion of the show with "Stairway to Heaven", with Jon Bonham's son, Jason Bonham, playing drums.

    It's a brilliant performance, not the least of which because Anne's voice is held up so brilliantly all these years. Hart had a pre-existing reputation for covering Zeppelin songs all the way back into the 1970s, and doing them very convincingly. However I think this is the first time they actually had Bonafide Zeppelin second generation blood in their band in the form of drummer Jason Bonham the son of Zeppelin's deceased drummer John Bonham. Dude plays his ass off on this as well. Really heartwarming. No pun intended.

    Studying Robert Plant, you just know it's him because of the smile and that curly hair that still falls down a bit over his forehead. This performance is one of three of my favorite live performances - alongside Queen's "Someone to Love" (live from Montreal in '81) and Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon" when they performed it for The Midnight Special in 1976. But, yes, Heart killed it and you have to have a certain type of voice to sing this song and Robert and Anne have it (obviously).

  • @shellygill5029
    @shellygill5029 Рік тому +1

    You are correct. The drummer is John's son. John wore a derby so his son and the choir wore them as a tribute. Led Zeplen. didn't like other bands to cover this song. Heart did a spectacular job and took this iconic song to new heights.
    The Kennedy Center Honors is yearly event that honors various artists. The president and First Lady always attend except during the trump presidency.
    Also while Obama was president Carol King was honored and Aretha Franklin sang one of the songs Carol wrote for her. "Natural Woman"
    Tina Turner was honored and Beyonce sang Proud Mary.
    Can't recall off hand who else has been honored but there have been many artists.
    But this tribute to Led Zeplen was outstanding!

    That was John Bonham's son, wearing his father's bowler hat and playing his ACTUAL drum kit.
    One other tidbit: Jason Bonham is the godson of Robert Plant, who invited Jason to sit with the band in the box for their Kennedy Center tribute (which was where this concert video comes from). Jason lied his butt off, telling Robert that he wished he could be there, but he had a gig that night that he just couldn't get out of. There is a version of this video where Jason is introduced to the audience before Ann & Nancy, and he points his drum sticks at Robert while giving an "I got you!" grin.
    Robert then jumps - yes, jumps - out of his seat, pointing and laughing in joy. This song was a complete gift to Robert, Jimmy & John Paul from their fans and friends that night.

  • @kurthealey6936
    @kurthealey6936 Рік тому +3

    "This is a masterpiece"! Spot on guys, you hit the nail on the head with that comment.... When John passed away (I think in the mid 70's). Zeppelin by and large disbanded as a touring group (there were a couple tours, but Robert stated it was never the same without his close friend). Plant took Jason under his wing, and treated him as his own son. Prior to this performance, Robert invited Jason to attend this in his father's absence. Jason, already knowing about this set, used the excuse he had another commitment for this evening and sadly declined! Had the video had just another minute, you would have seen the surprise when Jason climbed in to his kit!
    So for me, I normally do not enjoy "covers". But I do have a "Holy Trinity", when it comes to rerecording. This obvious epic. Bad Wolf's cover of the Cranberries Zombie, which Dolores O'Riordan was set to perform on and literally died the night before recording! I strongly recommend if you have not covered Bad Wolf's version, do the original again first, then the cover (it adds perspective)!!!! And finally, "The Sound of Silence" by Disturbed, (the original was partially a statement about the assassination of JFK, and that doesn't translate well to this cover, but the rest of the message is delivered in spades).

    They were being honored for their body of music, not just "Stairway. If you get a chance to watch the whole tribute, there were a number of musicians who paid tribute doing various Zep songs. The Heart tribut was over-the-top amazing! That was John Bonham's son playing the drums - his dad would be so proud of him; I know that the members of Zep are - he's toured with them. Fun fact: Robert called Jason Bonham to tell him about the award and invite him to join them and he declined, saying that had something else going on. Robert was a little hurt and surprised by his refusal, because they were really looking forward to it and the Kennedy Center Honors are a pretty big deal. They were surprised and thrilled to see him on stage - there are other videos showing their reaction to his being there - unfortunately, you happened to watch a version that left a lot out.
