You’re right. Tell people now you revere them, adore them, love them, and are thankful for them. ❤️‍🔥

​@@andrewcanady6644right 😃🙌🏼 to be recognized while still breathing 😅

Such a wise comment!

Absolutely agree with you on this. Honor them when they can enjoy the performance of their great work.

​@@andrewcanady6644❤❤

Jason Bonham, son of the late John Henry "Bonzo" Bonham, shares a fateful coincidence with another son of another drummer. Ringo Starr's eldest Zak had been recruited by Oasis to be their concert drummer before Liam and Noel had their full-blown split. Zak played with Oasis and was also present with other sons of the Beatles when they eventually did a benefit concert covering their fathers' music. Jason Bonham eventually joined Oasis at some point when Zak had left or I could be confusing my timelines as to who joined Oasis first. Both sons of drummers became truly skilled drummers themselves.

The sight of those hats on entire choir cracked Robert for sure!

If I remember correctly, Jason later told Howard Stern that his presence was a surprise to the band, hence the shocked and excited reaction when they saw him!!

Thanks! Didn’t know that! Just adds all the more..

The best drummer of all time. RIP

Moi 😊

Bawling

yep

Right here with you lol

❤❤❤

Listening in 2024

Absolutely ❤

Right here right now ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

I think I saw him in the audience sittin next to Jimmy, with the tears in his eyes

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ unbelievable performance

they never sang it the same twice. fck, so maazing!

Yeah..must be something else to sit in audience and hear legendary song they created…did nice job

Agree completely. It's amazing watching Jimmy and JP rocking along, while Robert watches and analyzes. I always wonder what was going through Robert's mind as the back up vocals and choir joined in. A haunting addition akin to his STH montage in the movie. And lastly, that sustained final chord carried by all, was spine tingling. Not many ways to finish off one of the best songs ever recorded, but that was one of them.

@@ttman1233 Robert Plant is really hard to please he’s very particular

​@DairwoodBarton27 Notice he had tears in his eyes though. He's sensitive and emotional.

Amen! I feel it deep.

Its definitely become something bigger and profound as time goes by

It was always spiritual

@@treasurz1 Credo di averla ascoltata 1000 volte

Get new friends

Keep on rocking brother.

Keep on rocking! 🤘

Not everybody can measure up! Get different friends…😮

I could never show this video to hardly any of my friends or family.

Love this

Ya I have watched it about 10 times already. Going to watch it another 1000 . Best performance of all time !!!!

I have it tied into my sound system. Turn it the f**k up !

I can't drive anywhere without this playing on my spotify. I sing with all my lungs ❤

I do!! I love the crescendo of the song!!

Ok, I agree with part of your statement. But why did they leave part of the song out? Why did they need a massive choir to fill in? Because they can't pull the weight of what zeppelin could do even on a night they felt "off". And having them there doesn't change the fact that they needed to fit into time restraints and live up to media expectations. That's why bands like led zeppelin didn't get signed to contracts in the beginning. Because they were a round peg trying to fit into a square hole. Their songs were to long to fit onto album ("vinyl") sides. Where is that rebellious side of rock and roll anymore? It's not alive in the older guys anymore. I want that back, where is that now? Where is that fire? I seriously hope some newer generations find it, or we'll all be generations lost in space.......

@@jasonbauer5488 as if you’re talking about rock and roll and having fire when you drone on like that. The most boring commenter on UKposts. Mr Negative, anything but rock and roll. What an absolute bore you are. Bore off to boresville and live out your days in boredom, on your own away from all us excited souls. Absolute oxygen thief, fun sponge, you could make an onion cry. 🥱

Music then was not the music of today. Sad.

@@jasonbauer5488performance time constraints. They almost always do that during Kennedy Center Honors. They don't always play the entire song no matter who it is.

Well said

This is only the finale of a half hour musical Tribute

I am sooo glad it was Heart

SI

These ladies were on a whole new level with this version. Absolutely gorgeous version and a true appreciation and respect of the band and this song

it takes none apparently!

I believe that he felt his fathers presence as he was performing the song

What about the orhers !?!

They were a Led Zeppelin tribute band before they were Heart, so makes complete sense.

Certainly in the conversation, the Tom Petty / Prince “while my guitar gently weeps” is up there too

David Bowie and Annie Lennox under pressure

@@OneForTheNorthsince you brought up Prince, Adam Levine guitar solo Purple Rain is also up there

@@bryanblakeney7289 😂 you are at it, I’m not diving into that one. I wouldn’t open my back door if Adam Levine was playing in my garden haha

And stuff

@@CarlosMesa-mk1vpwhat

He was crying at the choir wearing the bowler hats which was a tribute to John Bonham

@ZzzZzz968 Even before that he was a little emotional you could tell

Annie is the best!!!!!

I can’t believe I’ve been watching this for 11 years…..never gets old

Absolutely amazing

This brings me instant dopamine

Jeap.😂

It gets better and better every time.

He was worried they will do a better job than he

​@@iblacka1no one will ever do.

He was probably going this is so interesting hearing something he would be singing being sung so beautifully to him

The emotion from Robert is about remembering his mate John Bonham, who he knew before Led Zeppelin. Robert is responding to the wonderful tribute to John, by way of the choir wearing the bowler hats at the climax of the song.

Well, he KNOWS the meaning of the song.

I just don't get ppl who don't get emotional at concerts. I feel sorry they don't experience that wave of emotions.

Absolutely loving this comment🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The choir hit all three of the original. You could see how they pepped up even more than they were.

The human voices certainly add another dimension to the song. It was unexpected and I think LZ guys enjoyed that.

@@ryanpoli3209 It's the shared beauty, joy, and happiness with a crowd of other humans. All hearts and minds on the same page.

I'll add - the mighty Zep - there will never be another....

Its alright.

great comment cheers

Great comment bro.

Spot on brother!

I'm also 62 yrs old. ( male ) No one is a bigger fan of Led Zeppelin than I am. I've been playing ( guitar ) & singing this song ( at the same time ) for over 50 years ( as with most of the Zeppelin catalog, along with hundreds of other songs ). And that includes performing on stage for nearly 20 years. They completely cut out/omitted the most intricate & beautiful part of the guitar intro to this song, and jumped right into the lyrics. I would've much rather seen them perform "the Rain Song", which is FAR MORE difficult to play & perform vs Stairway.

​@@howabouthetruth2157well that's your opinion and honestly it's one not many people give a crap about. It was a great performance and I doubt you could ever even match what they did

@@roguegorilla8981 Good grief kid, it's painfully obvious that you're desperately seeking attention. Secondly, you are utterly clueless, because I happen to know MANY other musicians such as myself who were also disappointed & complained about how they completely omitted the most beautiful part of the song in the intro. I can already tell by the way you run your mouth that you don't play a musical instrument whatsoever. You know it and I KNOW IT. "You doubt I could ever match what they did"..........SIGH.........they only had like 15 musicians and 50 singers, are you freakin' kidding me? I can take one of my fine acoustic guitars & play AND sing this this entire song all by myself, and I'll bet my life not a single person in this huge ensemble can do THAT. You have NO clue who the hell I am, or what I'm capable of musically OR vocally........so stop acting like some pissy little dog locked outside the house yapping & clawing at the door, so someone would even look at you. Now go f*ck yourself boy.

Especially because Jimmy Page is known to dislike when bands cover their songs

And you can die peacefully

Parabéns à todos da banda , mas o vocal da Anny é simplesmente primoroso como sempre! Fantástica!

I think beyond even that is the moment you can literally SEE in Robert Plant's face " okay .... THAT'S what it's like to have heard it when WE did it " . He was on the edge of his seat as she went into the " to be a rock and not to roll " line and it brought him to tears.

Robert plant when sings live is not like when he recorded it...Nancy's hit all the notes and the end she let's it rip that's when he got emotional.. that power and just amazing...

I guess, Heart was just the right choice for that. Their Song Barracuda and espeicially the singers voice on that track gets me every time. :)

No doubt

My thoughts, too.

I have a feeling that Alison Krauss led Robert Plant to salvation. He seems to have a much softer personality since working with her.

Right? And Jimmy Page!

Unlike today's ungrateful azzholes who want everything handed to them. The Grammy's are ruined. Over. They mean nothing anymore. Better to stay away from that shit.

My eyes tear up every time I listen to it. Just like Robert Plant did. It is just an amazing version.

Hi yes" the charly" thank you beautiful"??? Good "???

100

🎯

Fantastic tribute to Led Zeppelin. Good job ❤

I though the same thing. I recall he lost a child early in life and I could almost sense that loss in his eyes

I think its the fact the song they wrote is being performed in honor of them so many yrs later. Dude is holding back full on weeping. That clutched hand

.ö,pmmml

They stole this song

D

Didn't they steal that song?

@@atmakali9599 what's going wrong in your life that you bothered to write that. Hope it gets better.

@@RudeGoat too much grovelling to celebrities. Get up from your knees and be you.

I thought the same thing.

Que. Voz linda boa homenagem led zeep canta demais

Perfect rendition. As you said, I cannot imagine the pressure!

Would love to see that too..

He's Shane Fontayne... legendary guitarist who has been on so many albums. Perfect pick for this!

My son is just over 2 and he likes singing/humming to Like a Stone from Audioslave. These songs hit different than todays music.

You dare!

@Anand Laishram I mean this riff is his baby, I would carefully inspect myself

BEST ALL TIME COVER. THE MOST BLESSED COVER. BETWEEN LED AND PLANT, AND OFFSPRING OF THE BONZO, BLESSED. THE VOCALS CRIED OUT WITH THE KIND OF INTENSITY THAT YOU KNOW THERE IS ONLY ONE AUDIENCE MEMBER TO IMPRESS WITH THEM. THE DRUMMER HITTING WITH LOVE FOR THE ONLY ONE AUDIENCE MEMBER NOT THERE. THE GUITARS WEEPING WITH JOY AS THIER MUSICIANS LOOKED UP IN WONDER AT HOW THEY HAVE COME TO THIS, WITH EXPLODING SOULS. THE AUDIENCE APPLAUDING TO A STANDING OVATION KNOWING WHAT THEY WITNESSED WAS FOR NOT FOR THIER PERSONAL OR GROUP ENJOYMENT BUT BECAUSE THEY HAD A SEAT AT THE FULL CIRCLE.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!

One of the BEST FEMALE VOICES IN ROCK, if not the best!!!!!

same.

same

me too

You, me, Robert....beauty takes us all, it's undeniable.

Ditto. :-) Merry Christmas.

I am very sorry for your loss. My sister was diagnosed with brain cancer in Dec. and she passed a few days later on Dec 19th 2022. She grew up in the 70's and loved Led Zeppelin... Life is not the same without her.

Sorry for your loss mate. Take care.

When my mum seemed lost because of her Alzheimer, music let me stay closer to her. I am pretty sure your wife enjoyed the music you shared and share with her. Big hug/abrazo from Argentina

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to loose that special someone in your life. Stairway to Heaven is such a fitting piece. Take good care.

I am saddened and touched by what you've had to endure and what you've lost.

Absolutelyvthe best heart moving tribute thexwilson sister knocked it right out of the building, even Robety, John and Jimmy were spirituality and emotionally moved❣️wonderful tribute to the drummer having his sin play! The thought that went with this performance, top❤ notch!!❤❤❤❤

of "nailing it" could be personified - this is it.

True. They were an amazing addition to the song!

​@❤maryleemiles3085

Jimmy Page had called Nancy a guitar goddess, and all three of them said afterwards that they couldn't imagine anyone else doing it.

Just what performance did you watch cause that guitarist absolutely butchered the solo, it was awful, wtf

@@Dan-su2qt Eh?

amen...the backup singers, that orchestra and choir are just spectacular.

@@ArchieFatcackie he didn't play the solo from the song, he tried to do his own solo and it was awful. Everyone is expecting to hear one of, if not the most iconic solos ever, and he plays...that mess. That kind of performance you cover the song note for note, and he didn't do that. If you've got the balls to play Jimmy page's solo infront of Jimmy page, and the president of the United States, you had better have the talent to back it up, and this guy didn't. He should be ashamed of that shit solo he played.

@@Dan-su2qt Absolute nonsense. He wasn’t the arranger the whole song was shortened much more than the original including the solo. Also, when did Page ever play as one of his recordings? He treated every live performance as a jamming session.

It was because of Jason.

AND both would be quick to state "What the hell did you do to our song" ... BOTH with tears tells you how they feel.

Yes, it was because of Jason. The only drummer who could play "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin correctly was the original drummer, Jon Bonham, who was Jason's father. This song requires control, finesse, and complex drum arrangements. Phil Collins attempted to play it during the Live Aid concert in 1985 to help the band get back on tour, but his performance failed terribly, resulting in the band never playing again. Therefore, for Jon Bonham's son to perform flawlessly in front of the band was an incredible sight to see. It was a true tribute to his father in many ways. Rest in peace, Jon Bonham.

Robert Plant was in tear because he was missing his dear friend John Bonham. He admitted as much in an interview with Howard Stern.

Ann & Nancy Wilson have been performing Zeppelin's songs for years! Decades! It's no secret Heart is the only band to pretty much nail Zeps songs

I mean it moved Robert Plant to tears so that speaks volumes to me. :)

@@aboundingvampirekiller2048 He said that at that moment he was thinking about Bonham.

People who let their feelings get involved with the unreal (the past) can nver be happy. Enjoy the Here and Now...why it is called the Gift or the Present

Love it!

Bonzo;-)

jason is this bad.

Man, when he gives that little look skyward at 5:48

Jay is a amazing drummer I swear he channeld his dad during this

I know it did thru mine, I cried big

U took the words rt out of My mouth. Just chilling 12;52 am. 3-10-22

Me too!

Same

Same here and everytime Jason looks up there are tears in my eyes

Yes

Absolutely

I actually agree with your opinion. I felt that too. And watch letterman interview after the award show!! I believe we are spot on. You will see!!!! ☮️👍🏽💯👋

I think he was remembering all the pages of his life and this is the finale of sorts

Such a perfect comment. Thank you.

The same thought crossed my mind - or at least he didn't fully appreciate it until this performance.

Lot of tragedy happened to Plant while in the later stages of the band. He's great about his time in the band, but it was over before he was 30, and I'm sure it's not an easy place to revisit, nor living with the legend he created, which was largely out of his control at the time also, as well as into eternity.

Hey Jocelyn .. I’m sorry for your loss.. It shouldn’t be this way.. I wish I could hug you right now xxx

Yes" es x que lo escuche cuando era niño" the charly"??? El ohido nunca miente" ho percusion del sonido segun my forma de interpretar los sonidos de voz y de instrumentos de los que tocan " los instrumentalistas "???pensaria yo"???

Sheldon Cooper is surprisingly good guitar player

I thought so to😂​@@JReykdal

Hats off for him !

No he didn't wtf? He played the solo wrong and it sounded terrible, Robert plant was probably crying cause of just how bad that guitarist messed up one of the most iconic solos of all time

I agree this

Wearing his Dad's bowler hat and playing a set of John's drums

Amen to that

Love . if you only knew....

thats cool i didnt know

agree 1000%.

John Bonham''s son on the drums probably adds another huge emotional edge to it as well.

He's sincere

@@sidewinderenigma That's exactly right...Plant said that on a show he was just telling Page that they should've invited Jason, and then he appeared on stage.

I think this is actually better than theirs. They have a full orchestra behind them. Zep are better with their instruments (Nancy is excellent, but... Jimmy Page? Who is better than him? There are contenders, but the only guy I definitely put ahead is dead 50+ years) but Ann's voice is better than any of the boys.

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

it really much is tho

watch comfortably numb pulse live for a life changing experience

Seen them in a little tavern in Tacoma,$1.50 cover charge many many moons ago

No only the best live performance, but without a doubt, the best cover!!!

Only Jeff Lynne could have did it better! Awesome!

That's what i'm doing now.

Schwing

to use use a "modern" phrase in the old time true sense, her performance was epic. Fckn epic, tears in the eyes, gooseflesh on the skin EPIC

you got my vote.

I'm glad I'm not the only one finding this in this day and age.

Too bad it's been edited by some monster who has zero respect for Led Zeppelin and Heart and music in general. Not sure if it's the person who uploaded this or not, but it is a despicable thing to do to such a glorious masterpiece.

This is how the CBS network who owns rights, released it. @@joshb23

The choir is sizzling - they lift this cover to a new height

I would have preferred no choir. I felt they overshadowed Anne's voice when the tempo changes up.

Imagine being on that stage looking up and seeing that reaction from Jimmy at 4:24

And Obama

And Yo-Yo Ma

something tells me ol' roberto plant "wasn't happy" how do i know ? when both of his eyes were looking in defferent directions.. ! lol

And do it better

No other girl R&R band but Heart could do this song like what just happened here. 👏👏💐💐💯💯🕊️🕊️💥💥

The reason she's a woman is ... she has no balls.

Kick ass musicians, regardless of sex.

Even better: she has ovaries 😅

Well, I mean, that is Ann Wilson. so, yeah!

Hang in there. This was cleansing indeed ☺️

I get it, all the best

It’s going to get worse so stay tough buddy

Music has power to move souls

You know he had to be absolutely crapping himself before going on stage

true but wasn't it shane fontayne who has played with almost anyone who is anyone so he was probably less phased than most.

@@da324 You are indeed correct! I saw them the same weekend as Woodstock was held. They played the Asbury Park Convention Hall about five miles from my house. It was amazing! This performance looked like a broadway show instead of a concert. It was okay until the background singers ruined it.

Saw Heart live they are unbelievable

100% right. No one has ever sang it as good as Heart. No one ever will. And for Heart to do it so well, is a great honor indeed.

This version is better than many I’ve seen, including by Zeppelin themselves. Very powerful, with orchestra and choir. It’s elevated way beyond “rock song” to the land of Musical Masterpiece.

@@markdaniels7174 If I were in my death bed and down to my final hour, I would request to hear Heart's version of Stairway one last time.

God bless her

Makes me cry 😭😭😭😭

My favorite...your father has amazing and spiritual sense that a lot of people are not capable of having. I'm sure he is listening EVERY SINGLE TIME you play this LOUD and CLEAR!!

Sending all my love, sweetheart.

So sorry for your loss. This too will be my funeral song in many years to come I hope . But it’s spiritual haunting and almost in my dna. Part of my life.
