Got to give kudos to guitarist Shane Fontayne for having the balls to play that iconic solo in front of Jimmy Page.

I was part of the choir for this show, it was an amazing experience. Dave Grohl was on drums for all the rehearsals, so it was a surprise to everyone when Jason Bonham came out for the final performance. Also, this video has footage both from the dress rehearsal, and the live performance. After the show was over, Stephen Colbert came up to me and 2 of my fellow choir members to tell us that we did a great job, it was surreal.

Choral arrangement was done by Rob Mathes, and our chorus director is Joyce Garrett. Our choir was also at Obama's inauguration, Bruce Springsteen Super Bowl, and every Christmas in Washington performance on TNT, until it was canceled.

We were drawn from a lot of different sources around the DC area, including some former High School choirs after we all graduated, some church choirs, and eventually some University of Maryland choir members.

We rehearsed every day including weekends for about 3 weeks for this, and for most of our performances

Ann Wilson is 62 years old in this video. Think about that for a sec. Easily one of the best female rock vocalist of all time.

Plant said this is the only cover he has ever liked. Heart truly does not get enough love. I also loved all of that choir wearing the bowlers in honor of John.

[homiegali]

For those who don't know, the guy drumming is Jason Bonham. This is john bonham, original drummer, son. That is one reason, admittedly, why Robert plant is on the verge of tears.

Legends honoring legends in a room full of legends... it does not get any better than this.

[clairekane]

Can we take a moment to appreciate Yo-Yo Ma head-banging in the audience 🌻

EVERYONE had huge shoes to fill when remaking this song, but she stood up there like a BOSS and CLOBBERED it. The poise, the utter control and command. Her AUDIENCE!! (No pressure, right??)... She was the one for that role. She was pure platinum here.

[dwerggalago]

This version always makes me close to tears, just because of how absolutely perfect it is.

[garya]

I tear up every time i watch this . Not only was that the late drummers son Jason but he was playing his dads drum set and wearing his dads bowler hat. Thats why the choir was wearing them to. Robert Plant and Jasons dad were close friends and he did not know Jason was gonna be playing One of the best songs ever

[magicbrownie]

Ann Wilson has one of the most sophisticated mic techniques I've ever witnessed. ALWAYS aware of her positioning, and she uses it to her advantage at all times.

[joedirt]

No one knew Jason was going to be playing drums that evening, Robert Plant was moved to tears seeing his best friends son playing that night wearing his dads famous derby hat, and the memories of his dear friend Jon Bonham flowed through Plants eyes as he watched on.. At the after party Robert Plant approached the Wilson sisters and said that was the best version of that song he ever heard.

[Rudromukherjeenerv]

Imagine playing Stairway to Heaven in front of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, then imagine being the guitarist who has to play the solo! No pressure! He nailed it!

[MagetaTheLionHeart]

And for performing a legendary song live to the original performers, I award Heart the brass balls award.

[jmhaces]

Not for nothing, even before this event, the guys from Zeppelin have said that Heart is the only band that has their blessing to cover any of their songs any time.

[rmweidner]

I just wanted to point out how marvelously Ann Wilson has taken care of her voice...because when this tribute occurred in 2012, she was 62 years old and sounded every bit as magnificent as she did in the 1970s and 1980s.

[torijackson]

That's Jason Bonham, John Bonhams son on the drums.. such an iconic performance and watching Led Zeppelin enjoy it so much just brings goose bumps so amazing..

[OGuselessrogue]

When the reactor has to break into chair dancing multiple times throughout the reaction, you know they genuinely love the performance. You can't fake joy dancing.

[joeyeulo]

When you get a standing ovation from the legends themselves, you did their song beautiful justice 😊

[benostiguy]

The looks on Jon, Robert, and Jimmy’s faces make me tear up… they really are soaking up the moment. What an accomplishment.
