Led Zeppelin Honored At The 35th Annual Kennedy Center Honors. December 26, 2012.

0. Documentary
1. Foo Fighters – Rock and Roll
2. Kid Rock – Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, Ramble On
3. Lenny Kravitz – Whole Lotta Love
4. Heart (with Jason Bohnam) – Stairway to Heaven

The 35th-annual Kennedy Center Honors aired last night, December 26, on CBS, shining a massive spotlight on the rock powerhouse that is Led Zeppelin, who were among the event’s honorees.

The special, which was recorded in Washington, DC, on December 2, also honored venerable blues guitarist Buddy Guy and featured Led Zeppelin-centric performances by Foo Fighters, Lenny Kravitz and Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, who performed with Jason Bonham.

Guy received tributes from Gary Clark Jr., Tracy Chapman and Bonnie Raitt, and Jeff Beck performed “I’d Rather Go Blind” with singer Beth Hart in Guy’s honor.

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama were in attendance.

“There was this singer with a mane like a lion and a voice like a banshee,” Obama said during a speech honoring the band, “a guitar prodigy who left people’s jaws on the floor, a versatile bassist who was equally at home on the keyboards, a drummer who played like his life depended on it. It’s been said that a generation of young people survived teenage angst with a pair of headphones and a Zeppelin album, and a generation of parents wondered what that noise was all about.”

The 90-minute awards show, which also recognized Dustin Hoffman, David Letterman and ballerina Natalia Makarova, drew more than 8 million viewers last night.

Although official clips haven’t been released just yet, you can check out some of the show’s highlights below, including Foo Fighters (with Taylor Hawkins on vocals) performing “Rock and Roll,” Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart (with Jason Bonham on drums) performing “Stairway to Heaven” and Lenny Kravitz digging into “Whole Lotta Love.”

That moment when you realise Old Man Jimmy Page could pick up a chick with
more ease than you’ll ever be… No? Try Young Page… Thought so…

Yes,BETTER than the Beatles. The Beatles were pussies.

grubslekcin says:

Right at the end of Stairway, when the camera goes to Jason and you can see
him breaking down, you know that he is thinking about his father and the
three men who have been there for him all his adult life is truly moving.

When Jason looks up for his father, he must have saw him looking down
telling him “I’m proud of you.”

Michael Ferry says:

January 4, 2015 – NSA HEADQUARTERS – Austin, Texas – Dear Kidd, I love you
but you must possess Christaline upper tones to cover Robert Plant
respectfully. Still, the Heart was there so we’ll accept this performance
as one of Heart not tribute. Therefore, it ROCKS!!! Let’s get fucked up at
your earliest convenience. Now works for me. Peace/Love/Healing. Arthur
Now, as for the sisters. I adore you and Robert wishes He could cover
Himself like that these days. Thank God We have the recordings…right?
Peace/Love/Healing. Me

KillertoneLabs says:

Is it just me… Or is Jimmy Page slowly morphing into president Bill
Clinton? Maybe he used his Satanic powers to shape shift into the POTUS…
And we never even detected it! 

Dirk Ruiter says:
