Could you sing Hotel California in front of the Eagles?
How about Hey Jude or Eleanor Rigby in front of Lennon, McCartney and the rest of the Beatles?
Maybe you'd rather try Bob Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man or Just Like a Woman?
It happened at the Kennedy Center Honors recently. The Foo Fighters, Kid Rock, Lenny Kravitz and Heart (Ann & Nancy Wilson) along with Jason Bonham (Zeppelin Drummer Jon Bonham's son) performed legendary Zeppelin music as John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant looked on with approval.
The tribute performance was rockin':
By the time Kravitz was finished and Heart had started "Stairway", I was off my chair and kneeling on the floor in front of the TV . . . damn near overcome with emotions of joy and appreciation.
If you're a Zeppelin fan like me . . . Watch the video . . . And "CRANK IT UP."
It's a once in a lifetime moment. Enjoy.
The Full Story
Buddy Guy, Dustin Hoffman, David Letterman, Natalia Makarova, and Led Zeppelin received the (2012) 35th Annual Kennedy Center Honors
The Honors recipients were recognized for their lifetime contributions to American culture through the performing arts-whether in music, dance, theater, opera, motion pictures, or television.
They are selected by the Center's Board of Trustees.
The primary criterion in the selection process is excellence.
Buddy Guy is a titan of the blues and has been a tremendous influence on virtually everyone who has picked up an electric guitar in the last half century;
Dustin Hoffman's unyielding commitment to the wide variety of roles he plays has made him one of the most versatile and iconoclastic actors of this or any other generation;
David Letterman is one of the most influential personalities in the history of television, entertaining an entire generation of late-night viewers with his unconventional wit and charm;
Natalia Makarova's profound artistry has ignited the stages of the world's greatest ballet companies and continues to pass the torch to the next generation of dancers;
and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant transformed the sound of rock and roll with their lyricism and innovative song structures, infusing blues into the sound of rock and roll and laying the foundation for countless rock bands.
