Kennedy Center Honors Led Zeppelin

Post by PHATJ »

For those that haven't seen this, take 22 minutes and watch the whole thing. It's well worth the time. At the VERY LEAST listen to Heart's version of Stairway To Heaven (it starts at 13:50), it's likely the best cover of the song ever performed. Enjoy!

Yeah, cheers indeed. That was awesome. Stairway bought a tear to my eye when Jason Bonham looked skywards at the end there.

Very cool indeedy.

It moved me when I saw it as well. I still can't believe Heart pulled off such a transcendent performance of that song. It was also cool to see Zeppelin moved by it.

Was Taylor Hawkins any worse than Grohl's drumming?
Kid Rock was better than expected, but the end when he started being Kid Rock it took most of the good he did away.
Kravitz was cool!!

Heart was great. Jason Bonham playing was cool, but the bowler hats on the choir seemed like they were trying too hard.

Grohl is awesome, but Taylor is that kind of guy I want to punch in the face.
The band presentation was okay.

I dunno, they seem like pretty much the same person and Grohl's drumming on Zeppelin tunes is pretty embarrassing for someone with Bonzo's symbol tattooed on him. Especially for such a badass drummer.

I see Taylor as that annoying friend that you have that tries the best to immitate you in anyway, but just end up being boring and stupid. God. Hate this guy.
