      IN order to argue with your point I would have to point to a band who did a better cover of that song. I just can't do it. So I agree, Heart knocked it out of the park. And they did it under tremendous pressure, they had 1 chance to do it right or blow it completely. It as live. There was no 'do over' option. Succeed or fail were the options. They brought it all and made this a cover we watch over and over again. Love the sisters and their contribution to Rock . This was just one more example of the talent they bring, when facing a live audience. Bravo.

    Ann was 62 when they did this tribute, and her sister Nancy was 58. Ann’s voice, like most singers has changed over the decades. This was the Kennedy Center Honors, a very important honor for people in entertainment who have made a significant contribution to the arts. The drummer is Jason Bonham, the son of Led Zeppelin’s original drummer who passed away when Jason was very young. He’s wearing his dad’s signature bowler hat and playing his drum kit.

      I saw that interview. I'm not so sure he was being totally honest there. I think Jason being there was a huge part of it, but when that last curtain raised and the full choir joined in there was a visible reaction. However, that's okay. It's Plant. He can be guarded about it if he wants. As you said he doesn't like any covers of Stairway, so for him to say "they did a good job" is enough.

The sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson did a great job, but the the sisters,Jason Bonham and the rest of Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones had dinner with the Obamas at the white house, and the Obamas said that they were worried about it because of their wild ways, but they said they stayed up all night having a great time and everyone was very polite. They were shocked lol 😆.much love to you and your family 💕.

What is extra special is that John Bonham was Robert Plants best friend and after his passing the band was never the same. Plant was moved to tears this evening seeing his best friend and band mates son playing on stage with his dads hat on. Near the end of the song Jason looked up as to say Dad this was for you!

    There is a beautiful amphitheater right on the Potomac River, right at the VERY base of ALL of the DC Monuments (Vietnam, WW2, Korea, Lincoln monument) that is called the "Kennedy Center" and in that gorgeous white building (overhanging Rock Creek Pkwy) there's a yearly celebration where INSANLY INFLUENTIAL artists are HONORED by being recognized as Kennedy Recipients' of this life-long achievement to music, culture, theatre, arts and SO SO FUCKING SO SO MUCH more.... this silly little get-together with a rainbow ribbon, is a HUGE achievement for our nation!!! STop here and read that whole damn thing 4x time more, then know that we enjoy, celebrate and hold these talented people SO VERY FUCKING HIGH above the crowd to THANK THEM for their amazing contribution to our lives.... THAT is the Kennedy Center Honors!
