      Was Howard in the studio? If not, I'm kind of insulted for them. Rock and roll royalty and he can't get to the studio. I'm hoping they're in LA.

    • @HardRockMaster7577
      @HardRockMaster7577 Před měsícem +3

      I believe that the chorus, paying tribute to John Bonham all wearing the bowler hats, was what brought a tear to Robert's eye, on top of everything else that had happened in that performance.

  • @SuperForkbeard
    @SuperForkbeard Před měsícem +40

    The comment about Jason Bonham perhaps being the source of Plant's tears is very astute and probably very accurate.
    Plant has made his general indifference towards Stairway well known, and the song itself probably wouldn't have inspired that much emotion in him. The sight of his friend's son being part of a performance like that however, well, that would have.

      And the fact that the entire choir wore Bonzo's bowler hat. He and Plant were the best of friends, so one can only imagine how deeply that moved him.
