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.

Just in case those unfamiliar with Led Zeppelin are unaware, their Drummer sadly passed away some time ago, his son is playing the drums here. His signature hat was a bowler hat, thus the bowler hats in the choir. Very very classy tribute.

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.

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.......

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.

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.

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.

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.
Just in case those unfamiliar with Led Zeppelin are unaware, their Drummer sadly passed away some time ago, his son is playing the drums here. His signature hat was a bowler hat, thus the bowler hats in the choir. Very very classy tribute.
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

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.......

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
This was my wife’s favourite song. When she withdrew into her own mind due to brain cancer, I played it every night for her, to see if I could get any response from her. She passed away a year ago, and I accidentally came across this performance. I can’t stop tearing up.
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.
One of the greatest live performances ever. Ann and Nancy are queens!
No it's not, the solo, the part everyone knows, is terrible and that guy should be ashamed of himself. What the F is with you people thinking this was good
@@Dan-su2qtавтору этого соло Джими Пейджу понравилось и не нам судить
Glad I came across this video.. it’s a WOW!! Still in 2024❤
The sheer amount of balls it takes to play a Led Zeppelin cover in front of Led Zeppelin.
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!
While Heart is getting their much deserved recognition for their performance, the musical director who put this masterpiece together should get some too. Every detail was impeccable, every performance was flawless, and this was a result of their work.
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.
Gentlemen, the world will remember and thank you for this song in generations. Dramatic, clear, hard, true. Thank you!
I imagine the pride that Led Zeppelin must have felt when listening to this magnificently performed musical anthology piece.
This is unquestionably one the great performances of modern times - the way Nancy strums, Ann sings, Jason drums, the orchestra builds, the choir explodes, John Paul Jones nods, Jimmy Page smiles, and Robert Plant cries...........next level performance
I'll add - the mighty Zep - there will never be another....
Its alright.
great comment cheers
Great comment bro.
Spot on brother!
When the members of Led Zeppelin give you a standing ovation for covering their own song, you know you did well. 👍
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’m a 62 year old woman who was in a Led Zep cover band in Detroit in the 70’s This is the best thing I have seen in years! They smashed it! Ann Wilson rocked out! And Jason! Just like Jimmy and Robert I wept a bit. Late to the game but now can’t walk away 😊
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.
Heart and Led Zeppelin were contemporaries. Looks like the Wilson sisters aged pretty well. You crushed it ladies!
John and Jimmy are enjoying themselves. But Robert, you can see how this truly touched his soul. Those eyes say it all.
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.
It's August 2023 and I'm still coming back to this. Phenomenal performance.
Me too!
Same
Same here and everytime Jason looks up there are tears in my eyes
Yes
Absolutely
Considered by many to be the greatest song by the greatest rock band. Not once have they ever whined of NEVER receiving a Grammy for their monumental work when the band was active.
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.
Music nowadays just don't compare to the music we grew up on.
This is not music anymore. This is spiritual. Under your skin, inside your bone. Deep inside your soul.
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
❤❤❤❤
this is not an exaggeration this is one of THE BEST performances of all time
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 "???

Absolute goosebumps when that choir kicks in
Ann and Nancy really rocked that song 🎵Amazing show. 😢 not a dry eye. So glad we grew up with this music. Beautiful. 70s were the best times of our lives. Thank you ROCKERS. ♥️
December 2023. Still coming back to this performance. Just magnificent. Brings tears to my eyes.
same.
same
me too
You, me, Robert....beauty takes us all, it's undeniable.
Ditto. :-) Merry Christmas.
When that choir comes in hard, if you're not feeling this song deep in your bones, you're not human. Just incredible
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 think Plant was tearing up there at the end. Truly an epic tribute. Arguably the best rendition of the song ever.. Certain parts of that song play into Ann WIlson's strengths as a vocalist, and she takes full advantage.. A choir of angels doesn't hurt ever.
You could feel the love between Jason Bonham and the 3 surviving members of Led Zeppelin.
Fancy playing the greatest guitar rift of all time in front of its creator that takes some nerve and he did it flawlessly. still watching in 2024
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 don’t know if anyone could have done this with the same amount of grace and power that Heart did it with. Those ladies ROCK
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
My daughter is only 2,5 years old and it’s her favorite song. She asks me every day to listen this performance
My son is just over 2 and he likes singing/humming to Like a Stone from Audioslave. These songs hit different than todays music.
Blasting this song on the back of the bus in the 80s I can watch this video twice a day . Thank you for making this happen.
Watching Robert Plant trying to hold back his tears is whole another level of feels man. Dare I say that this might be one of the best live performances of all time.
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!!!!!
Can you imagine being so good that you bring Robert Plant to tears singing his own song?
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!
Absolute best cover EVER, HEART just Delivered......give it up Rock Fans,! Who could of , or has Done it better?
The best thing I have heard in YEARS!!! I needed this song more than I knew.
Led Zeppelin are notorious for not exactly loving it when people cover their songs. So the fact that they’re smiling like this, and Robert Plant actually cries, just goes to show you how incredible this arrangement of the song really is.
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.
It takes balls of steel to play that guitar solo in front of Jimmy Page
The smile on his face...
It sure as hell does!
And he LOVED it. It doesn’t get any better.
Not realty, have a word.
@@karlbaker9153 Who is the guitarist?
Hands down, the best Kennedy Center Honors performance EVER!!
I've been listening to this every day for weeks just to feed my soul with this performance of perfection.
The Wilson sisters KILLED it! BEAUTIFUL! Robert Plant and Jimmy Page were in TEARS! BEAUTIFUL!!!
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
That guitarist had to play one of the most legendary guitar solos in history directly to the man who wrote it. No pressure god damn
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 god that brought a tear to my eye. Especially when the choir jumped in!!! That is definitely rock and roll!!!! Bravo Heart!!!
Watched this video 100x over the last few years. Powerful.
Robert really looked like he was reliving the best and worst memories of his life as those lyrics were sang so beautifully back to him.
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
Plant looks like he’s only just realised how momentous this piece of music they put out into the world is.
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.
Friendly reminder: Legendary rockstars are still only human. And no, I'm not crying along with them.
Brought chills down my spine. Always loved this song. Heart and all the singers did a wonderful job. I loved seeing Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones looking clean cut and handsome.❤
I don’t think it’s hyperbole to call this one of the greatest live performances of all time.
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!
I know that's a zeppelin song but Ann Wilson made that song hers that night. Much respect.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Totally missing this era with a decent president, and not so much divide in this country.
No matter how many years have passed, no matter how many times I see it, I'm moved by it. This is the best video.
Seeing their faces during the song, I could only imagine the memories that were going through their minds, it brought a tear to my eyes.
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;-)
This arrangement with the choir and trumpet will never fail to give me goosebumps
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.
My dob is 01/03/1958........I'll watch this 'till the Great One calls me to his side. Great to recognise the Great rock groups of the past & some of them still alive. Long Live KZhead❤
Plant's tears are my tears. So beautiful.
Anyone else shed some tears while watching this? So powerful, so beautiful watching Robert Plant so excited. OMG, so beautiful performance.
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.
I read an interview he cried because John Bonhams son was on drums and he thought how proud John would be
5:00 gets me every time. To be a rock and not to roll and then seeing Robert's face. Ann Wilson absolutely nails it.
@garykudalis1548he sheds a tear and smiles multiple times. What did u want out of him?
It gives me goosebumps and lump in my throat every time. I saw Heart about 15 years ago and they played a Led Zeppelin cover. My favorite is their cover of The Battle of Ev’more under the band The Love Mongers.
Can you imagine, Jason Bonham covering one of the most iconic songs of his dad’s career and being watched by his dad’s former bandmates. How much emotion must have been running through his veins.
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
Led Zeppelin changed my life. No group had such an impact on me in my early youth.
Jimmy was reliving it. I saw it in his smile. ❤
This is one of the most impressive live performances I’ve ever seen.
Imagine how much better it would have sounded ACTUALLY live 🥹
Didn't you mean THE most impressive as opposed to "one of the..."?? This is truly spectacular.
@@stevepittman2412 Not if you saw them in the early 70's...
@@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
No one could ever sing Starway to Heaven as good as Led Zeppelin, except for Ann Wilson from Heart. Beautiful just Beautiful.
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 😭😭😭😭
This song goes down in history! She / they, did a beautiful job with it. Not an easy task.
2024 and still gives me goosebumps. Forever a legendary band
So proud of Ann Wilson. As if I couldn’t love her more, she totally knocked it out of the park on this one. BEST tribute ever!!!
Hi bbst pues " ni se jua.jua.jua" solo analizo "the charly"???
Yes beautiful donde el autor se emberraque y no le trame jua.jua.jua hay tirraria era caja my mismo" ji.ji.ji " the charly" bay me diga huy me desfiguraste el tema jua.juajua"???
Actually, I think that Ann, as powerful as she tried to portray, was no where near the power of this song. It is the song itself, and the backup singers in the hats. She was.....OK in it. There were 1,000 singers who could do it. Not trying to take away from her effort....but she did not MAKE this song.
Yes beautiful pal que valora el esfuerzo pal que no grave " cada persona hace lo del" the charly " thank you"???
@@marcblaser3770 hmmm. She’s 75 years old dude…I’d say it was pretty FING phenomenal.
Nancy Wilson is truly an underrated top flight guitarist. super crisp playing.
She is way past amazing!
Wholeheartedly agree
Yea that family oooozeeess talent.
And who else but Ann could do this song justice? This was awesome, great to have this one pop up.
@@wenmar3837 I can’t think of anyone
Literally the world's greatest band! They changed music for the better❤
Nancy and Ann are the only ones who can do justice to this song!!
I love how Jimmy page can’t help but just rock with it.
U know he was air guitaring it but didn't show lol
I was thinking the same thing. His smile so cool.
Well, he’s Jimmy Page 😉
Too
hahahaha yeah theres a second that he is singing the solo and you can read his lips what exactly the guitar is saying "cuecuenhoooin inhowwwn"
Life is very challenging right now, but these 6 minutes and 56 seconds have cleansed my soul.
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
🔥🎵👍🏼😥
The hats. It's the bowler hats that always get me teary-eyed. What a lovely touch to honor Bonzo.
I can hear 1000s times, and still, I never have enough. We were lucky to have the chance to live in the songs of the late 70s and 80s. Forever rock & roll.
The fact that the drummer is John Bonham's son makes this tribute more magical.
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
Omg the fact that John Bonham's ( deceased drummer of Led Zeppelin) son played the drums made it even more meaningful. Such an emotional tribute!
So true. ❤
Absolutely! ❤
Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
I think he was crying at the end too!!
And the way Plant stood up and pointed at him is respect. Bonham was the only band member who went to the funeral when Plant's young son died. Page and Jones were off on their binges but Bonzo stood by his side. Jason is his mates son and you could tell Plant is proud of him.
This is sublime, profound, pure brilliance, more than music...crying - yes, but ''not all tears are evil'' 😢😥😍
Definition of a song: Words AND Music. Perfection!
Imagine being young. Full of live. Becoming one of the largest and most influential bands ever, growing old, losing your band mates, then to hear your lifes work being just completely honored by these people. Truly amazing.
They’re the most popular band not named The Beatles or The Stones
Stopping probably at a time where they here as hot as ever! I can only imagine what could’ve been
Props to the guitarist for his courage, and for nailing it in front of Jimmy
True courage.. holy crap!!
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.

@@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.
This was my dad's favourite song, he would always listen to it, every morning he played it. Naively I knew this would be his funeral song one day, in a long time I hoped. After a 5 year battle with cancer, last month, as i've always imagined, we played it during his funeral. This tribute song will always hold the biggest place in my heart as I will always feel his presence when listening to it. I love you dad, can't wait to listen to it together one day.
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.
Love is forever! When you hear this song think of him and smile! For you will be with him again✝️
So sorry for your loss ❤️🌺❤️
Beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. Robert is so touched by it!
This has been one of the songs that has gotten me through so many of life's hiccups. Lost loves, life's issues that kick you in the head. My beloved Mother died a few months ago and this amazing version has brought me some solace. Thank you ladies for your amazing performance.
Why does this rendition of the song bring a 63 year old grown man to tears. Perhaps it's the greatest song ever written, and to see it being performed in such a magnificent way and watch the originators enjoy it so.
And tears to this 72 year old grown as well.
It's that choir. Phenomenal. And their reactions at the end when the large choir comes out is great, they were like little kids. It was so cool to watch.
Ann said Robert Plant told her she made him love the song again in that moment. That alone would bring him to tears.
I would imagine seeing his deceased bandmates son perform in the drums contributed to it.
I’m 25 and seeing this for my first time… tears this way too!!
Imagine being the guitarist, having to nail that solo in front of the Man himself. No pressure at all...
You only have one moment in life to do that and he nailed it.
@@samuelhaggard7458 I can't imagine what that must have felt like, before during and after
This guy plays Segovia on a Tuesday brunch. While I am sure he was aware of the magnitude of the moment, it wasn't a particularly difficult solo for him.
@@jamesfoodie2738 Okay, but does he play Segovia for Segovia while Segovia is being honoured at an invites-only ceremony by celebrities and past and present world leaders?
@@jamesfoodie2738 I've been a professional musician for over 20 years. Trust me, if was given the chance of playing the solo to stairway in front of jimmy page... my arse would be twitching like a rabbits nose in winter.
I'm hard core Black Sabbath but Zeppelin really had something special too. I respect the way Jason Bonham did his own thing to honour that beautiful performance. That really was amazing.😢
4/12/2024 Wow. Nobody covers Zeppelin in front of Zeppelin, let alone have Robert Plant get emotional, and the band give a standing O at the end. This is incredible.
Robert Plant, just fighting the tears back. Says everything about this performance.
Yes!
And Yo Yo Ma rocking out in the audience!
Agree!! amazing
and says everything about his humbleness...
Old man eyes, not tears
I’m 87 yrs and know I’ve listened to “Stairway” at least 100 times. I hope when I climb that glorious Stairway to heaven I find the angels playing Zeppelin music on their harps. Wouldn’t that be paradise 🎼🪗🥁🎷🎲🎸🎻
Be a rock and don't roll, your song will be in the air.
Bob , Im "only" 32, but I also listened Stairway at least 100 times, so I think we are on the same wave and the age doesnt matter :)
Only a hundred times?! I'm 60 and I've probably listened to it 1000 times!
Just 100 times...???? I listen it 100 times BY YEAR, hhahaha...!!!!
You've made my day sir.
As a grieving mom, my tears just flowing down my face thinking of my dearest son in MATT in heaven 😭🙏🙏🙏
