+David Lake Absolutely! When they played "Stairway" at the Kennedy Center Honors with Bonham's son, you could tell that Robert Plant and Jimmy Page were blown away!
Just compared the Alisson Krauss/Plant collaboration to this. While I loved the first, it was this that brought the goosebumps. Heart rules Zepp covers bar none.
I've probably watched this at least 50 times over the years, and literally get chills ever time. This is easily one of the best covers of any song - by any group - of all time.
@@Bstonz85 I'm guessing you never had a bad day or meal ? Performance art is by far the toughest to do when things go wrong.Usually there's a next gig.
This was my favorite Led Zepplin's song when I was growing up. They did an amazing job. This is the best version i have ever heard. The mandolin playing by Nancy was phenomenal. With her singing on par with Anne. Their harmony are just beyond greatness.
I mean seriously...my GAWD...these two ladies are beyond legends. That's as close to perfection as it gets folks. A real crime that it took so long to put them in the HOF.
They are good musicians. I love dream of the archer... it takes a big healthy woman to play their tunes. Inspired me to play mandolin! I learned to play and sold it.
What a fantastic cover. Folks, THIS is how it's done. While Ann has perhaps the best ever voice in Rock & Roll, this also showcases that Nancy has an excellent voice, albeit without her sister's range. Talent like they posess only comes along in one in a million. Yes, Stacy, they truly are a treasure.
More or less grew up listening to Ann & Nancy Wilson & ❤Amazing!!!! These women rock!!! What a cover! Im in Heaven! Would love to see Heart & Led Zeppelin collaborate. Seattle has produced some of the finest musicians (imo). This is proof of one of them. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Impossibly gorgeous. Truly transports you to another place and time. Artists making a timeless creation for our future generations to treasure! I love you guys!!!!
underrated ? Are you kidding me ? They have been on the cover of every music magazine that ever existed , and are known the world over . What an absurd comment you made. Underrated is someone like Gary Seidell , fantastic singer songwriter, yet nobody seems to know who he is .
Often there's something magical when family members sing together... check out Foxes and Fossils. Incredible covers of Helplessly Hoping and Suite Judy Blue Eyes.
@@johncozzi6939 I had never seen them live before, just had one of their albums I got 30 years ago. I was already blown away by them, but after this, even moreso.
Hope you're still rocking out. 7 years later ! There is some AMAZING RAP, out there, as well ! And this is coming from a 60 year old white woman ! I'm drop dead serious ! Give it a chance and check out TOM MCDONALD - "BRAINWASHED" or "NO LIVES MATTER" !! A young white lad with common sense and a dislike for liars in high places. I bet you will like his 🎶. Seriously, listen and then honestly let me know what you think. I hope you don't mind me asking. Anyway Heart will always be in my ❤ (I've seen them 4 or 5 times, throughout the years.)
AGREED!!! They don't know what real talent it. The 60's and 70's had the best pure talent ever produced. Grace Potter and the Nocturnal is a group I discovered about a year ago and they got it happenin'. Can't exclude the Black Crows, they're an awesome band.
While you're doing that don't be such an idiot. Learn how auto tune is used. You're just another uneducated person on the subject of auto tune, you are still required to be able to sing.
I personally the Ann Wison is Robert Plants Twin Flame. Mirror images (figuratively). They each share one half of their soul with each other. Twin Flames aren't necessarily lovers. That comes out through their angelic voices. I'm 60 yrs young and grew up with them. I sing my heart out with them when their music kisses my ear.
Saw Heart 4 times. First time was Dreamboat Annie '76 or '77 at the Denver Coleseum, Halloween nite, with BOSTON and Black Sabbath. What I wouldn't give to do this all again !
Well, of course! Still, nobody could do Zeppelin like Heart! And no two women could rock like Ann and Nancy Wilson! They bring shame to the likes of Taylor Swift, et. al!
It sounds like you are making excuses for Plant. Time has shown that she is a better vocalist and her voice is not what it used to be either, but she still manages to do his songs better justice today. I think Plant knows this.
micah brew I think they are both great vocalists. I do not think you can compare the different qualities of their vocals especially if their genders are different. I don't think it matters either. They both have contributed so much. They both are so versatile, being able to sing heavy metal tunes and then switch gears and deliver a moving ballad. I mean can you honestly compare Nancy and Jimmy page? Why would you want to anyway? They both deliver astounding performances and you lose yourself in their music. As far as their voices being "...not what they used to be..... In 2012 Heart released their 12th top 25th album. Fanatic; Robert Plant won a Grammy in 2009 with Allison Krauss for Raising Sand. Their voices may have changed but they are definitely not short changing their fans.
As a fan of 90% of Led Zeppelin's music and of less than 10% of Heart's, I still have no problem admitting this is better than the original. The mandolin is perfect.
Did you hear Heart singing Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Honors in front of Led Zeppelin? That was pretty lovely to watch Robert, John and Jimmy sit there and listen to Heart do that song. Bonham's son played the drums on it.
I heard them do this in 1976. They were the opening act for a concert that included Skynyrd and Jefferson Airplane - Starship. They were amazing and stole the show.
WOW - I heard about this. Herd they crushed it. WOW. Thank you ladies!!!!. (Pause 20 seconds) Damn this is just..... (pause 84 seconds) holy shit this is really amazing.
Forget about it being a cover - among top ten live rock performances I have ever seen. Off the charts good, and I don't know any band today who can tough this
Cette vidéo est pour moi l'un des plus beaux live que l'on trouve sur CZcams. La très grande classe. Merci les frangines, bravo Mesdames, vous avez mis le feu.
Their voices compliment each-other so well it's unreal. An incredible performance that hits the feel of the original spot + you can feel how much love they have for it. Huge props to the Zep for creating such a powerful and iconic folk song.
the way they layered their voices gave me shivers the tribute to John Paul Jones, John Bonham, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page with John's son Jason rocking "all that glitters in gold...

When you are better than the original, and the original is the best there ever was.
Heart really is the only band should be aloud to play Zeppelin covers.
+David Lake gotta hear Great White do Zep. Incredible
+David Lake You're right. The Wilson's are the only ones that do the original any justice.
+Maxx King yep
+David Lake Absolutely! When they played "Stairway" at the Kennedy Center Honors with Bonham's son, you could tell that Robert Plant and Jimmy Page were blown away!
+David Lake I agree with you They are the best in Zepp's covers
Nobody covers Led Zep like Heart.
Random Poll: How many think that Page and Plant have watched this video, more than once? Hit the like button...
Nancy's mandolin skills made this.
and her amazing vocals even sliding into a microtonal style, and then the power of that last harmony with Ann
It’s almost otherworldly how well these two do zeppelin songs…
They out-Zeppelined Zeppelin on this one.
Brilliant cover!
2 legendary women playing one of the most iconic songs of Led Zeppelin. Can't get much better.👍💯
I slightly prefer them to Led Zeppelin singing it.
Rock Royalty 👑
The time when professionals were genuine musicians ❣️
I didn't think that somebody could beat Zeppelin at their own song, but it happens here.
Na
agreed!
Never ever
No nobody beats Led Zeppelin, however this is great.
I wouldn't go that far but it is a very good cover
Listening to this great Zep cover, I realize what beautiful vocal harmony Ann and Nancy have together.
Really nice to listen to Nancy join her sisters' impeccable vocals. She too has a magical voice!!
Nancy singing Sandy's part while playing, gusty gal. The force is strong with these sisters.
Just compared the Alisson Krauss/Plant collaboration to this. While I loved the first, it was this that brought the goosebumps. Heart rules Zepp covers bar none.

They sound better than led Zeppelin
@@jlm8699 @
I saw Zeppelin perform this song live and the Wilson sisters do it 10 times better. I love Zeppelin, but Heart is awesome live.
Love when a song sends chills up your spine
I agree!!
both Tolkien and Gandalf reach for the volume knob for just a little more
This is one of my favorite songs by Led Zeppelin but I like it better when these two sing it.
One of the best led zeppelin Covers,…amazing !!
the Wilson sisters are such a treasure.
Queens of Rock & Roll
Nick early 70s stuff was good. Later 80s pop shit sucked. This is good. I’ve been told they’ve been booed off stage many times

EPIC 👑 ROYALTY
If EVER there was another band, male or female to do a killer cover of Battle of Evermore, IT IS HEART!! Got damn that was good.
Nancy Wilson really showing her pipes here. And Anne Wilson doing a Superb Job on this classic.
What a fantastic cover. Folks, THIS is how it's done. While Ann has perhaps the best ever voice in Rock & Roll, this also showcases that Nancy has an excellent voice, albeit without her sister's range. Talent like they posess only comes along in one in a million. Yes, Stacy, they truly are a treasure.
Well said!
Amen
Her voice is alright
Its okay. Anne (few in fact) can't play guitar like Nancy ;)
Ann has a wonderful voice,great power.A horrible person however.
I would never have said it was possible, to cover Led Zeppelin and it sound that good? Impossible. THIS was amazing, fantastic!
Wayne Ashworth watch their cover of stairway to heaven its awesome
Thankyou, I will do that tonight :)
plus it's live...
I wish they'd cover this whole album... Ann belting When The Levee Breaks... just imagine
@NastyNate san pfft dont get me wrong I love tool but his is on another level
One of the best exhibitions ever of just how beautiful Anne's and Nancy's voices are and how well they work together...
Yes! Sisters seem to have the best harmonies❤Excellent strings too 🙌🫶
They really embodied the soul of Led Zeppelin.
Nancy is so underrated. Stunning ethereal vocals and just casually shredding. So awesome 🙌🏻
More or less grew up listening to Ann & Nancy Wilson & ❤Amazing!!!! These women rock!!! What a cover! Im in Heaven! Would love to see Heart & Led Zeppelin collaborate. Seattle has produced some of the finest musicians (imo). This is proof of one of them. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nobody else could have pulled this off..Nobody..Nailed it and took home the hammer..
Ann's voice is such a force of nature, I sometimes forget how phenomenal Nancy's voice is, too.
Impossibly gorgeous. Truly transports you to another place and time. Artists making a timeless creation for our future generations to treasure! I love you guys!!!!
Ok, well, I have heard the boys' version a thousand times, I prefer thos one. I love you girls!
Wow, they sure did Zeppelin justice. Fantastic cover.
"THE PAIN OF WAR CANNOT EXCEED THE WOE OF AFTERMATH"

Zeppelin rules, but Heart man, the sisters of Heart. WOW!! Battle of Evermore with the Mandolin!!
This is a STUNNING performance -- absolutely incredible!
Best cover ever
The two most underrated artists walking the planet
Underrated?? They are one of the most successful acts in rock history.
I think you mean the most appreciated. And I agree.
No i dont believe they are underrated. The majority of people are too stupid to appreciate them
underrated ? Are you kidding me ? They have been on the cover of every music magazine that ever existed , and are known the world over . What an absurd comment you made. Underrated is someone like Gary Seidell , fantastic singer songwriter, yet nobody seems to know who he is .
They haven't been underrated since they released their first album.
I'm at a lost for words. The way they harmonize sends shivers down my spine.
Often there's something magical when family members sing together... check out Foxes and Fossils. Incredible covers of Helplessly Hoping and Suite Judy Blue Eyes.
Yes we must remember there is only one .. cover it is
the definitive version of this song from the Wilson sisters.
If Heart put out a live album of '70's rock covers, I would buy it in a second.
They could do an entire cover album of Led Zeppelin. I have seen them perform at least 7 of their songs live over the years.
Who knew Ann could play the guitar and Nancy could sing like an angel?!
WE DID
@@johncozzi6939 I had never seen them live before, just had one of their albums I got 30 years ago. I was already blown away by them, but after this, even moreso.
WE DID lol
🙋🏻♀️
HEART covers LED ZEPPELIN better than anyone ! .
I think Heart❤ covers
Led
. Zeppelin
better than Led Zeppelin. At least, in the case of this song, anyway !
Hope you're still rocking out. 7 years later !
There is some AMAZING RAP, out there, as well !
And this is coming from a 60 year old white woman ! I'm drop dead serious ! Give it a chance and check out TOM MCDONALD - "BRAINWASHED" or "NO LIVES MATTER" !! A young white lad with common sense and a dislike for liars in high places. I bet you will like his 🎶. Seriously, listen and then honestly let me know what you think. I hope you don't mind me asking.
Anyway Heart will always be in my ❤
(I've seen them 4 or 5 times, throughout the years.)
A rare occassion when everything is just perfect - my mind is officially blown.
Nice music they been at for while nice job
These ladies bring a shrillness to their vocals that makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. "Bring it back!!"
Teach these younger "artists" how to preform without auto tune and lip synching ect. This is Gold!!
AGREED!!! They don't know what real talent it. The 60's and 70's had the best pure talent ever produced. Grace Potter and the Nocturnal is a group I discovered about a year ago and they got it happenin'. Can't exclude the Black Crows, they're an awesome band.
While you're at it, teach the audience to STFU while Heart is performing.
While you're doing that don't be such an idiot. Learn how auto tune is used. You're just another uneducated person on the subject of auto tune, you are still required to be able to sing.
Best ever cover and should have been their song.......
The absolute best vocal duo of all time
Are you f@#$ing kidding me with these ladies?!? Ann and Nancy are two of the finest that Seattle has ever gifted the world.
No one covers LZ like Heart, that's for sure
Cause very few have the kind of power that Heart does.
Real music by real people. My God the youth live in darkness
Eines der besten LED-Zeppelin-Cover
Holy shit.. that was probably the 70th time in 8 years I have heard that cover and there are still tears in my eyes..
Not weeping here
Young females singers out there take a look at these ladies; this is how to do it. Ann and Nancy are perfect.
Without a doubt, there’s not a female vocalist of modern times that can even come close to Ann Wilson
Amen
@Vailover4ever: Don't know if First Aid Kit has done any Zep covers, but worth checking out, if you like young female duos.
This is how it is done...... Period!!!!!!
Hos about a young female duo doing a Heart cover ? czcams.com/video/E8PX01Eh1rE/video.html
Dare I say it, but Heart's rendition does Led Zeppelin proud!
This video makes me go "Wow!". Their Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Honors makes me cry.
Absolutely the best cover of this song ever - emotional 🥹
Love Nancy's voice. It doesn't get showcased enough. This cover is amazing.
I dreaded hitting play, but I needn't have worried, absolutely incredible, respect to the Wilson sisters 🍻✌
40 plus years and still sound amazing.
And no auto-tune.
Are you sure? There is definitely pitch correction
applied to this.
working very hard, this song is not easy]

Ok, so the Wilson sisters are the only one that should ever cover Led Zeppelin.
Yes they are
AGREE

Nice to hear yanks playing tribute to their countries heritage!
What a fantastic version!

If anyone can pull off a Led Zeppelin cover it’s them. Ann Wilson’s vocals always gives me chills!
UNBELIEVABLE
Saw Heart three times. Great shows every time. Truly magnificent covers of Zeppelin. No one else ever came close.
Saw Heart 4 times.
First time was Dreamboat Annie '76 or '77 at the Denver Coleseum, Halloween nite, with BOSTON and Black Sabbath.
What I wouldn't give to do this all again !
I follow Heart and I don't know how this has escaped my view. This is a beautiful rendition.
Jesus! It simply doesn't get ANY better than this!
Unless it was Zeppelin, but an outstanding performance by Ann and Nancy.
Well, of course! Still, nobody could do Zeppelin like Heart! And no two women could rock like Ann and Nancy Wilson! They bring shame to the likes of Taylor Swift, et. al!
Kay Omholt-Montague Wilson is the heir apparent, since Plant cannot do the notes anymore. She's taken care of her voice over the years.

I'd say as good as, but Zep's had the amazing Sandy Denny, and it doesn't get any better than that!
Until I heard Heart's covers of this song, I didn't think it was possible for anyone to out-Zeppelin Zeppelin. Silly me.
They do amazing, not better lol also they flunked some of the lyrics lol
@@Ralekuward Yeah but Robert Plant does that too every time he sings LZ tunes.
Did you hear Heart singing Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Honors in front of Led Zeppelin? That was pretty lovely to watch Robert, John and Jimmy sit there and listen to Heart do that song. Bonham's son played the drums on it.
Bloody hell still watching and keep coming back absolutely brilliant cover ❤❤❤
can't fuck with thses two right here. hands down two of the best rock vocals ever. EVER!
Possibly the best cover by anybody, ever.
It's like having an out of body experience. Ann and Nancy are just that powerful!!
Only Ann and Nancy are allowed to cover the Battle of Evermore❤
Literally gives me chills every time I watch this, simply mesmerizing!
Absolutely killed it!
What's the biggest difference between Zeppelin and Heart? Heart gives credit to the musicians they are covering.
+Jim Brooks I wish Rick would have made clean shot.
I love this cover so much. You get to hear Nancy sing and Ann play guitar, and it is wonderful.
LOVE Nancy's mandolin work!!!!
fantastic cover of a fantastic zeppelin song.
"The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath."
Sure wish more world leaders would think about that.
it is a killer cover, amazing
One of the best renditions beside the original
A lot of people don't realize this is how Heart got its start in the Seattle and Vancouver club tour scene by playing Zeppelin covers.
This has just blown me away, the mandolin playing is the best I have ever heard, not far off the original. Respect.!!!
How about some respect for Jimmy Page.
@@swerne01 He has plenty.
Their two guitars sound like 4 don't they?
WOW...the voices gave chills
Blood Harmony. Only achieved by family.
Brings back memories.. absolutely Love it.
OMG that is AMAZING … only Nancy and Ann could do that … Led Zeppelin must be sooooo proud . ❤
I heard them do this in 1976. They were the opening act for a concert that included Skynyrd and Jefferson Airplane - Starship. They were amazing and stole the show.
Of the several Heart performances of Battle of Evermore this is the best, just an awesome performance.
WOW - I heard about this. Herd they crushed it. WOW. Thank you ladies!!!!. (Pause 20 seconds) Damn this is just..... (pause 84 seconds) holy shit this is really amazing.
Forget about it being a cover - among top ten live rock performances I have ever seen. Off the charts good, and I don't know any band today who can tough this
Cette vidéo est pour moi l'un des plus beaux live que l'on trouve sur CZcams. La très grande classe. Merci les frangines, bravo Mesdames, vous avez mis le feu.
Back in the '70s, a friend from Washington told me Heart was known there as Little Led Zeppelin.
Oh man, that is so good! Super talents, those two.
Holy Wow! If you've ever doubted Nancy's voice or Ann's guitar, this blows it all away!
Their voices compliment each-other so well it's unreal.
An incredible performance that hits the feel of the original spot + you can feel how much love they have for it.
Huge props to the Zep for creating such a powerful and iconic folk song.
The Wilson sisters are 2 of the most talented women in rock . I have had the pleasure of seeing them live about 16 times. they are just great.
the way they layered their voices gave me shivers
the tribute to John Paul Jones, John Bonham, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page
