"Heart" plays 'Stairway to Heaven', Robert Plant cries

[BeyondTheNow]

This is old, but friend just passed in on to me. Probably one of THE best renditions/tributes I've ever heard.

Heart plays Led Zeppelin’s Stairway To Heaven, makes Robert Plant cry (video)
December 27, 2012. 4:30 pm • Section: Awesome Sound


"There have been some mighty horrible renditions of Led Zeppelin‘s Stairway To Heaven, but when Nancy and Ann Wilson of Heart performed the song in front of the three remaining members of the legendary British rock band at the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony on Dec. 2, it made Robert Plant cry tears of joy.

(The band was being honoured by President Barack Obama alongside David Letterman and Dustin Hoffman.)

Watch it and understand why. When the choir kicks in and Ann Wilson wails Plant’s famous “And as we wind on down the road…” you might shed a tear or two yourself."

Awesome. :nod:

Really good rendition.  Not too surprising that Heart would do such a good job, as they were for years referred to as the "Female Led Zeppelin"

I never heard that.

Can you point to a reference?

I had heard that too. There used to be a show on A&E Sunday mornings sort of like Biography but it was for musical groups. They had Ann and Nancy in the studio and that reference came up then too. One of the people interviewed for the segment was Robert Plant and I am pretty sure he too used it.

That's the best I can come up with at the moment...I had heard it somewhere and it just stuck with me.
