In case you missed it: Heart performance for Led Zeppelin @ Kennedy Center

[Fritzo]

Actually brought Robert Plant (and myself) to tears. Fantastic!

What's most touching about this is Robert, Jimmy, and John are probably the most modest musicians ever, and I think this finally made it sink in as to what they gave the world.

Page is beaming with pride.

Love it!

They are the gold standard of Rock and Roll without a doubt. Thanks for the link that was awesome.

 

[EvilYoda]

That was fantastic, thanks OP...time to track down a recording of the entire event!

 

[stargazr]

Thanks, I've been meaning to track this down.

 

[Crono]

I love that song and I heart Ann Wilson.

 

[KMFJD]

Great find, kinda surprised at Plant's reaction always heard that he hated to sing that song

Heart plays that song better than Zeppelin played it in 77 when I saw em...

 

[SeaSerpent]

Very nice job by Heart!

 

[lupi]

sucks that I missed the honors on tv this year.

 

[Squisher]

You gotta have balls to play that in front of Plant, Page, and Jones.

I saw Heart in '81 (IIRC) at the Toledo Motor Speedway 🙂 They did a whole set of Led Zep.

Heart is the greatest female rock band, group, duo, whatever you want to call them, EVER! Eeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvveeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Yup, I saw them in 2008 on the Journey, Cheap Trick, Heart tour, and I thought most people would be there for Journey, but way more people enjoyed Heart, and their set was much better.

Thanks for the link. Love Heart 🙂

 

[Miramonti]

Awesome. The other artists sang tribute, but Ann and Nancy Wilson honored them.

wow that was so bad... they should have had Nickelback and Avril Lavigne sing it. I guess they can't afford the real talent. :hmm:

[theprodigalrebel]

Just saw this. Pretty good stuff.

Interestingly, Kid Rock also performed Ramble On (my favorite LZ song). I thought it got weird at the end but Plant and Page seemed pretty impressed. And Jimmy Kimmel gave it the most serious standing ovation. 😛

 

[Markbnj]

Got a huge kick out of that. Was great watching Jimmy Page getting into it. Glad to see Nancy still has it vocally. One of the greatest female rock voices of all time, surely. Think I need to put on Dreamboat Annie.

Your taste in all things is now suspect.

 

[mrrman]

that was great

 

[Born2bwire]

Wow, she's been eating.

 

[OCNewbie]

I'll admit that I'm not familiar with the original song (other than the name, sorry!), but that was an awesome performance! I loved seeing the crowd reaction at the end (with all the famous faces).

Lenny Kravitz did a real good job also, i thought.

 

[OCNewbie]

I knew I'd get shocked reactions. I'm quite familiar with the song title, but don't think I've heard the song enough (if ever) to recognize it.
