Heart (with Jason Bonham) - Stairway to Heaven (Live at the Kennedy Center Honors)

[ificandream]

What's interesting here, besides their unique arrangement, is the emotional reactions of the band, especially Robert Plant, who is moved to tears.

2. I used to think it would be blasphemy...

... for anyone else to even dare to cover this song. In fact, I once broke a record over my knee in the record store of some thugs that did a disco cover of it.

Then I watched this. I was wrong. They were true to the original, as they should have been.

5. Heart has been covering

Led Zeppelin quite a bit through the years, and very well. But this song, I still don't know how to feel about it. On one hand I love it, and on the other hand, I heard it and Aerosmith's Dream On so freaking often in my HS senior year drawing and painting classes, the teacher and I were both ready to hide the albums. I guess it's safe to say it depends on my mood when I hear it.

6. We had a local band at my senior prom.....

...that seemingly couldn't play anything but Doobie Brothers' songs. To this day I DESPISE the damn doobie brothers!

3. Ann Wilson has the most amazing voice

She's the Queen of Rock.

4. I've watched this several times...

since and still can't quite figure out what Robert Plant might be thinking. His face isn't giving anything away at all. Is he sad and thinking about John, wishing he were there? Is he just tolerating this whole thing? I dunno.
