-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y... - Krátké a kreslené filmy
We’ve got clips from an interview we did with Roger & Mike Fisher coming soon...so we thought we’d pull out this gem from the 20k drunk reaction special, cheers all enjoy the throwback!! 🔥🙌🏻
Awesome gents! Love that Heart did this!
So glad you posted this! Rock on fellas. Love your reactions!
My favorite reaction videos; tossup between "Night Moves" and "Flirtin' With Disaster"
You two were certainly lost in the sauce! Ann and the rest of Heart did a fantastic job. They certainly impressed the members of Led Zepplin! 😸
Congratulations Andy & Alex!! Omg... Could you have imagined snagging that kind of interview back then?? Yay! You two are the BEST... Great 20k night and great memories.
Ann Wilson was 62 years young when she performed this, one of the greatest female vocalists ever
Its just unreal how great her voice has been for 50+ years
And she nailed it
IMO the best
One of the greatest vocalists ever! 😊
One of THE greatest vocalists ever**
Jason Bonham on drums wearing a bowler hat like his dad did. The whole mass choir is wearing bowlers in honor of John Bonham.
I believe that Bonzo was a Clockwork Orange fan.
Yes, Alex is totally right. The chorus wore the same hat as a tribute, too. It's awesome who all was there in terms of celebrities and musicians. Shane Fontayne was the guitar soloist, too. I think he was the "house" soloist.
Those were John's old set of drums too !
That WAS John's hat that Jason is wearing.
Yes that's what made the whole ending so beautiful that choir were all wearing bowler hats in tribute to John Bonham if you didn't get chills up your spine from watching that you never will in your life
This is the only rendition of Stairway to Heaven that ever moved me to tears. Ann and Nancy NAILED this song.
You and Robert Plant have something in common now.
Give the sound mixer props too. Captured all the nuance with a massive ensemble.
Ann Wilson, one of the absolute best voices in rock n roll, male or female.
Eternal goddess of rock and roll
Totally agree
Stellar
Great raspy voice, and she blows the roof off the dump.
While you both quite rightly rated this a “10”, disappointingly neither of you acknowledged Ann Wilson’s superb voice nor Nancy’s opening guitar playing, only going on about Led Zeppelin. It was a Heart performance, not Led Zep!, so in my view, you scored low for this reaction.
Dude playing the solo with Jimmy Page in the audience. No pressure.
That's Shane Fontayne. Was a member of Lone Justice, and toured with Sting and Bruce Springsteen. Great, underrated guitarist.
"Oh, and the president of the United States and the first lady will be there, too. No pressure."
@@dickieburbank Thank you, I was wondering who that was!! Bout to look him up! 😃
@@joeday4293 won't. Would have turned it down because they were there, being a non-comunist like I am.
@@kenperk9854 When the president asks you to play, you say yes. Any president. Feel free to call him a son of a bitch while you're playing for him, but dammit, you show up. It's the president.
John Bonhams son is wearing his dad's hat the choir has hats on too. No one else except Heart could do this song justice.
Playing his dad's kit, too.
Came here to say this. You're absolutely right.
7:23 He looks skyward to his dad as she sings the final line ...
Decades of Playing Zep live with complete ok from Zep themselves helped. Bonham has also been Heart's drummer on tour from time to time, especially when they did their Evening of Zep tribute concerts.
Greta Van Fleet would crush it. Just sayin'.
Plant said he was emotional because he didn't know Jason was going to be there.
He also said he was a bit stunned looking around and seeing Obama and other 'official' people. Led Zep was supposed to be rebellious music and here he was sitting with The Man. It left him a bit dazed with how surreal it was that their music had reached this far.
i was wondering. i remember watching this the first time when it was new and noticing how Plant seems to tear up. it's just so well done.
This is correct
This is *VERY* correct
@@kenmolinaro Other than the music, Plant's tearing up, and Page's astonished joy, the best part of the video is watching Yo Yo Ma bopping along.
Heard Plant on Stern, Plant said right before this song he turned to Page and said " We should have invited Jason to this"
Then Jason came out with the band and pointed to them in the balcony, Jason had kept his performance a secret from them! Total surprise for them!
When you bring Robert Plant to tears while you're performing Stairway To Heaven, you know its the greatest rendition of one of the greatest songs of all time ever performed. And yes the drummer was Jason Bonham, John Bonham's son.
You both look like you were flat stoned for that particular reaction😂😂😂
Uh, just how stoned were you?
Andy was definitely drunk. Alex holds it better.
"looked like"???
😆😆😆😆
No doubt!!
They look high af,lol
@@patrickq7489 Except when he passes out (which I think he did elsewhere in this reaction) 🤣🤣🤣
Shane Fontayne just nailed that solo, i thought he really deserves more credit here. Really solid player.
Thanks! I didn’t know his name
👍
I thought it was Sheldon for a few...
@@mitchfleming274 I thought the same thing!!
Performing that solo in front of Jimmy Page you can say Shane has " balls of steel "
I’ve seen Shane play live, and especially doing a small venue, intimate show with Graham Nash… well you really get to appreciate what complete professional guitarist he is. Precise, Clean, doesn’t try to steal the show, but you know he could if he wanted, & he knows it too. And most people have never heard of him! Lol
The look on Jimmy's face @ 5:13 filled me with joy. Those guys gave us so much.
Want to know when you do a great cover? When the people you're covering are watching with smiles, open jaws, and give you a standing ovation.
A once-in-a-lifetime moment for everyone there, and all of us who saw it!!! Unforgettable.
With tears running.
Absolutely Dynamite ♥️🎶♥️
Every single person was remembering where they were when that song came out. For me, it was high school. It would be playing on the SF radio station in the morning on the way to school and you could hear it cranked up, coming from everyone’s cars.
One of the greatest live cover performances of all time.
Absolutely
If you play the video a little longer you see Jason Bonham and Robert Plant salute each other.
Ann Wilson's is a tremendous singer. One of the best ever. This wasn't a cover, it was whole new interpretation.
Zogger52 - Whole new interpretation? Granted they added horns n’ such plus a choir but the arrangement is basically the same as the original
@@cirenosnor5768 The singer, fool
Nature and Physics - The vocals barely deviate from the original interpretation. You’re the fool
Ann’s voice is like a little slice of Heaven
Incredible diction
It's not for nothing that the guys in Zeppelin have said over the years that Heart is the only band that has their complete permission to cover Zeppelin whenever they want. And yeah, the drummer in this was Jason, Bonzo's son. That's why he and all the members of the choir are wearing bowler hats, as a nod to his dad. You stopped the recording but at the end he stands up and sends kisses to the guys from Zeppelin, since they're pretty much his uncles and Plant is even his godfather.
And Jason also blows a kiss and heart to his Dad in Heaven ... the story of this tribute is the only thing better than the tribute. Absolutely beautiful. Gives me goosebumps every time🤗
@@lmac6358 Whoa....excellent to know. Great night, unforgettable stuff.
Didn't know who he was back then....thank you for this!!!
Led Zeppelin mates never said this. It's a well known fact Nancy loved Jimmy, he was her idol.
@@lmac6358 Brings me to tears
I am an old hippie. Seeing you two react to songs I listened to in my day is really enjoyable. When y'all reacted to Bob Seger, Turn the Page Live, is when I realized you two were legit. You know about music. You feel it, too. Keep on keepin' on. Much love and peace to you.
Robert got tears in eyes at the end. That gives you chills watching it. Ann Wilson is amazing and so is the dude shredding the solo right in front of Jimmy Page. He had one job to do and he did it.
He tears because Jason played drums kit John.. not ann wilson
Watching the whole performance, looked like he teared up when he saw all those bowler hats on the choir. He and Bonham were like brothers. So wonderful he was included in that way. Greatest drummer of all time, my opinion.
This tribute gives me chills every time I see it. Not only are Ann and Nancy fantastic, but the full background orchestra and chorus bring the entire performance to an amazing crescendo. Little-known trivia fact: the gentleman shown in the audience during the guitar solo is world-famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma. (They don't invite just anyone to a Kennedy Center Honors event!)
right??? Bonnie Raitt was rocking it for a second or two....
Posted mine before I read yours. “Yeah, what Mongoose said.” 🙏
And Debbie Allen feeling it all. 👐🏼
Noticed that they cropped out Yo-Yo Ma's wife in this video. Another video of this performance shows her with her eyes closed tight in excruciating pain having to listen to what she seemed to be considering little more than loud noise.
@@davebeins9134 The video is heavily edited. The shot of Bonnie Raitt actually is her "rocking it for a second or two" to Lenny Kravitz's version of Whole Lotta Love.
The absolute best rendition I've ever heard
Rock legends paying tribute to rock icons=pure gold!
Just noticed "Blue Lou" Marini playing the sax. Another underrated musician and all around great studio guy. Loved him on SNL and "The Blues Brothers Band".
I can't believe that video is like 9 yrs. old already!...A CLASSIC cover of a CLASSIC...
Wow, I would have guessed 5-6.
Page, Plant, and Jones. Their eyes have seen so much.
And they were all blown away that something new and great popped up!
Proof that some God given talent can last if you take care of it, at 60 Ann sounds as good as she ever did. I think many people watch this and are so caught up in the feeling and emotion of the performance that by the time Ann belts out the last word "Roll" they miss how absolutely crazy she nailed that note! The choice of arrangement with the orchestra and choir, while maintaining most or the original aspects of the song is part of the brilliance of it. Zeppelin is the biggest influence on Heart and they do Zep songs in their shows but THIS was special.
Nobody and I mean nobody could have done the lead vocal for this other than Ann from Heart❤️
Yes, Andy you are RIGHT!!
That was Jason Bonham on drums.
What a beautiful tribute to his Dad!
Andy on the left, Alex on the right.
@@crucify40 🤣Yes, I know.
I meant that he was "right" about that being Jason Bonham
And.... Jason was playing on his dad's acrylic Ludwig drum set.
@@jennhurl but it was Alex who was telling Andy that it was Jason, not Andy.
@@crucify40 Ooooooooooooh!!!
My God you're right! Man, I just had some mouth surgery & I'm on these pain killers. Holy geez I should stay outta comments right now. 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, Bonzo's son.
Heart did a ton of covers of Zeppelin and killed this one, in front of them. Ridiculous talent and much respect to the Ladies.
They brought tears to the eyes of Plant, and me the first time I saw it.
I know the reaction is old but the music never gets old. Rock lives forever.
Have a great day, guys.
I think they also killed the Battle of Evermore I wish these guys would react to that
Brilliant performance by Heart that night. I've seen them also do a pretty wicked cover before of Rock & Roll and maybe my favorite cover of all I've seen them do.......Going To California.
I read an interview where Plant said he was blown away by the arrangement/performance, and what pushed him over the edge, so to speak, was that he didn't know before hand that Jason would be on drums.
@@cazgerald9471 an interview I read said that earlier in the evening he'd been feeling bad, thinking they should have invited Jason to be in the balcony with them
Rock on Dude!
Love that split second when you see Yo Yo Ma get into the Groove.
HEART's Nancy and Ann epitomize the very term "NAILED IT!" in the absolute sense with this!!!
yes that was John's son - Jason Bonham
fun fact, i heard somewhere that back in the day, Led Zeppelin had just played a show somewhere. After the show someone told them that there was a band playing a gig at a local bar. They decided to go down to check it out and that band that was playing was Heart. Heart got their start as a Led Zeppelin cover band so this performance was really a full circle moment and with Jason Bonham on the drums wearing a hat like his dad always did, Jimmy Page counting the notes during the solo as well as their reactions when the choir came on - this is a perfect performance on every front. Also, apparently they didn't know Jason would be playing that night at the Kennedy so that's why they were so happy and surprised.
The lead guitarist did not do a "slavish copy" like my old art history teacher said about the renaissance. The guy did the notes-like Page said-but laid down his own style-For the best-Page had probably heard 10000 tribute bands-but this guy laid it down!!
Great story about them finding Heart. This was an unforgettable performance.
Jason Bonham on drums. John's son. Perfection!
Page was loving watching someone do his bit so beautifully!
I saw an interview with Ann Wilson where she said they only practiced this number once, the night before, on stage. And it didn’t go well. They knew they only had one chance to get it right, and they totally blew this one away. I can’t imagine the pressure they were under, knowing the world (and Led Zeppelin!) was watching! Great job. Legendary! Everything about this is iconic.
That's incredible. I'm a drummer myself, and I can play this song pretty easily, but the sheer pressure of the occasion would've made me pass out on the stool.
The drummer was Jason Bonhan, John's son. The hats were a tribute to John.
I've watched this at least a dozen times and I still get chills. It's absolutely flawless. And could you imagine doing their song, in front of them? What a pressure cooker!
Lots of great female vocalists in rock n roll. For my money Ann Wilson stands at the top of the heap.
This tribute is in the running for the absolute best moment in rock history. Dieties, audience and performers are one, with each lift in the music ascending higher, finding the sweetest spot in the human soul, everyone radiating to everyone else "yes, this is it, this perfection is real." What seals the deal is if this much spirit and energy was put into any other song, the song would feel small, too weak, not up to the moment. Instead this performance rises and expands, never even close to limiting the ecstasy of the moment. If JP, RP & JPJ ever asked "what do our lives mean?" they got their answer in full this night. You can see it on their faces.
The extended video shows Plant wiping away tears....that’s good stuff!
I love the extended version. It's almost 8 minutes long.
Thanks, I wondered what happened.
Simply put The Greatest Cover of all time, with the pressure the "Heart" Girls and the band and all involved had on them they nailed it!!!!!!,,Keep Strong Keep Safe
I've seen this at least a dozen times and every time I have goose bumps on my arms and chills down my spine. Then you see a tear drop running down Robert Plants cheek.
Guys ..You have just witnessed the greatest cover in the history of music .. Rock legends performing in front of the Gods ..and they slayed it
"When all is ONE and ONE is all", that line has esoteric mysticism written all over it. I get goosebumps when I hear that line!
One with God we are all...together again.
One of the top performances by any performer ever
I lost it when the choir chimed. Goose bumps every time!
Can you imagine having to play that amazing guitar solo in front of the guy who originated it?? Oh man... I'd be praying, "Please please don't let me fuck this up!" And this whole performance was GOLD. Ann's voice, the guitar, the horns, the choir, the drums... all of it. Just pure fire. I love it.
If you didn't rate it an S tier 10 out of 10, I think I would have reached through my computer screen to slap you both upside the head, lol! It's just SO FREAKING GOOD! I could listen to this (and watch it) over and over again. Thanks for reacting to it! ❤🎸🎵🎶🎤
I grew up in a time when this song was way overplayed on the radio. This tribute re-energized my love for this song, especially seeing Led Zeppelin's reaction to it!
Yes...a year later I see your comment and must say...I used to despise Stairway to Heaven back in the day...when I was 15...because the radio DJ's annihilated it, which killed it for me....UNTIL I saw this incredible cover in 2013, the night before flying across the country because my sister was dying. It is forever her song to me now...I sat in my little motel room singing this to myself over and over and over...my sister WAS the lady buying a stairway to heaven...or so she seemed to believe in life...and now she was headed there, full steam. I adore this...Ann and Nancy and Jason, John's son, playing after his father died, and Robert watching with tears welling up...well, there's nothing like this recording in the history of rock n roll!!!
I am always captivated by the sheer joy of the Zeppelin band members and the tears in Robert Plant’s eyes as they watch this performance.
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!! You know this was an awesome night to be President!
Every time you guys close your eyes I’m like no open your eyes and watch what’s going on because the reactions of the band and of the people in the audience my favorite one is when it hits Bonnie Raitt and she’s just rocking out is amazing. But definitely watch the whole thing because you stopped it before they were all pointing at each other and giving love to each other that’s a great part of it also
I thought the same thing, open your eyes.
This was a fantastic tribute from the Wilson sisters, wonderful!
Ann & Nancy did this song superbly there my girls from the 70's,Robert Plant and jimmi page loved it and bonhams kidcwas the drummer how great 🥰👍👍👍👍👍
I was a junior in HS when this masterpiece was given to the world. The song will posses you. It engulfed me and Heart brought it back to my soul. I'm cryin'. Forever grateful.
This chokes me up every time!♥️👍🔥
Q: How many times can this performance completely slay me?
A: Yes.
@@joeday4293 I could POSSIBLY not weep if I made sure to not look at Plant at any time!😉
The drummer was Jason Bonham, John Bonham's son. I remember him having a full drum kit when he was 5. His dad was a family friend and I remember going to a party at his house when I was a kid. It would be great if you could react to the original version of this. Jason Bonham had been asked by Jimmy Page and the rest of the band to sit and watch the tribute but he said that he couldn't because he was playing at a gig.
Do you come from Redditch, John's home town? I do to. Small world!
@@christinerobinson3819 I come from Lickey End, nr Bromsgrove. My dad used to repair their vehicles until my dad had a life changing car accident.
@@denisemeredith2436 yes I know Lickey End. Been a few times to see Fred Zeppelin(LZ tribute band)at the social club. I'm so sorry about your dad.....hope he's going on ok
@@christinerobinson3819 Thanks I have seen Fred Zeppelin a few times and sometimes Jason plays drums for them. My dad became an Operating Department Practitioner (a complete change from being a mechanic), he passed away 6 years' ago aged 80 from COPD and Pneumonia. Thank you for asking though.
Man!! Our generation had the absolute best music!!!!
It should also be noted that Jason was playing his dad's old acrylic Ludwig drum set. In the late1960s and early 70s I had a couple of Ludwig drum kits and loved them. I wish that I still had them.
Good call on the John Bonham connection. The bowler, the heart fist pump and heavenly glance plus the choral groups bowlers were the "nod". Sublime version and, I believe the best cover I can remember. I watch this at least once a week.
This performance set the all time record for goosebumps
My age and location afforded me the great privilege of seeing Heart three times when they were working high school dances. They were the best band on that circuit. They played a full set of Zeppelin.
I’ve seen Zeppelin in ‘75 at Earl’s Court in London, in ‘79 at Knebworth & was at the Celebration Day concert. This is my favourite version of Stairway. Always makes me cry when the big choir rises.
I love watching Plant, Page and Jones smiling and reacting so positively to this performance. So gracious. I've seen this so many time before on CZcams and can't tell y'all how glad I am you're using to react to here (even if suggested over and over).
The whole choir wearing the bowler hats gets me everytime 😂 Also, how good a lead guitarist do you have to be to do that solo in front of Jimmy Page?
Jesus. Sitting here crying. Simply amazing. And you can tell Jimmy loved it. Just amazing.
Love the look on their faces throughout...ya think first time the 3 of em saw someone else play stairway live? They looked grateful...legends indeed.
y favorite part is Yo Yo Mah rockin out. I love this version, great musicians and arrangement. Great tribute to one of ROCK's greatest songs
no one does a better cover than Heart. Guitarist Shane Fontayne. played with Springsteen, Sting, Rod Stewart and a ton of other bands.
I had been wondering who the guitarist was - thanks for posting it !
Jimmy Page has definitely gave him his seal of approval 👍.
This Song Bought Tears To My Eyes
Thank You Ann & Nancy
4 / 30 / 21
Those pipes! Damn, those pipes! She's in her sixties here and still belting like the godess she has always been.
Heart played this live in their own tour, and even without a lot of the supporting artists there in Charlotte, NC, it was a fantastic experience! 10/10.
I can’t’ believe that you guys have not seen or heard this legendary performance before!Put this in a time capsule so when future generations want to know what rock ‘n Roll was all about this is all they will need!👍🏻❤️☮️🎤🎼🎸
Must be such a surreal moment for the band listening thinking about when they first wrote and performed this song and now it being honored at the Kennedy Center with the president in the audience.
I've seen this performance many many times and every single time, it makes me cry.
Zeppelin were probably just glad to have somebody else sing it for a change. Seriously though, Heart did an amazing job.
I love Heart ❤️ seen them 4 times live.What a great cover not many people could ever cover LZ. Love your reaction videos ❤️ Keep up all your great work ❤️
One of the greatest voices on the planet! Beautiful cover
I've watched this a thousand times. It never gets old.
You should have watched the whole applause section. When Robert Plant stood up Jason Bonham stood up and they pointed to each other. Robert did not know he was going to be on the drums that night. I cry every time I see this. Robert also was moved to tears if you look closely.
Watched this as part of your classic "drunk reaction" months ago, in your beginning days. So glad you clipped it out because this definitely stands alone as simply amazing. The Wilson sisters are so gifted and Jason Bonham on the drums, epic! Thanks for this!
The song, video and performance were amazing. The reaction sucked! Couple of drunk, clueless mouth-breathers with their eyes closed not even watching the performance!
@@trucolors9809 C'mon now, no need to be so harsh. This was in their beginning stages of their reaction channel and I don't think they do the "drunk reactions" any longer. These guys are my favorites because they DO know music and performance.
Goosebumps for this cover of a CLASSIC.
Now you have to watch it sober....phenomenal!! And yes, that is his son.
I just loved the guys' appreciation for all the details here, but how much did you love the Director for knowing to cut straight to Page throughout the guitar solo? I was waiting for it, and at the first cut I actually screamed out loud, like my team scored the game-winner in overtime! LOL.
That was Jason Bonham at the drums. That was John Bonhams son. Pretty phenomenal job done by heart and the orchestra behind it in the back up singers. That was high class all the way especially in front of Robert Plant and Jimmy page. They were ecstatic
Dont forget john paul jones as he was the glue and brains behind the band so overlooked which is a shame.
@@H4CK61 he played the recorders at the beginning in the original studio version. How cool is that?
Red_ Rocker - Did you overlook John Paul Jones? So many do 🤷🏽♂️
@@H4CK61 Jones may be my second favorite bassist of all time. Steve Harris is my personal number 1. Again all imo
June 5 1988, Heart played the Cal Expo Ampitheater. I was there with all my old buds and our girlfriends. We were dead center stage, within 5 feet from the stage, so close we had eye contact with the band. Heart was known for playing Stairway to Heaven. They ended that concert with it. Fricking awesome. Great memories for sure.
HEART probably only group to do this!!! Rock on ladies!!
One of the best covers ever done by any band anywhere. I also think it`s really great to see two young guys like yourselves actually listening and carrying on with the music that we grew up with. It`s like Neil Young said "Rock n Roll can never die" especially when we have people like you to keep it going. Great job guys.
Dudes, I cried the first time I saw this live tribute. Just incredible.
This gave me chills when I first saw it at the Kennedy Honors
It was the Kennedy Center tribute to Led Zeppelin. That's why the band was there and Heart played "Stairway to Heaven".
I get emotional watching this version and to see Robert Plant with a tear in his eye at the end just tops it off. Phenomenal ending too, pure joy.
My favorite moment was your immediate reaction to Spirit of Radio by Rush. The looks on your faces, and instantaneous "10" was priceless.
Yes Plant looks on the verge of tears most of the time where as Page smiling and rockin out. Favorite A&A moment has to be "Spirit of radio"
You can hear the depth of emotion in Ann Wilson’s voice, that she not only wanted to pay tribute but needed it to be perfect and she nailed it.
THE MOST INCREDIBLE cover of any song EVER! Those who heard this in person have been talking about it still. As great as LZ was in the day this is the perfect version
Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) and Nora Jones doing "Maybe I'm Amazed" in front of Paul McCartney. Worth it.
That might be the the best live performance of any song I’ve ever heard ..
Brings tears to my eyes. Every time.
