Heart – Stairway to Heaven – Live 2012

“Heart – “Stairway to Heaven” – Live 2012″ refers to a remarkable live performance of the iconic Led Zeppelin song “Stairway to Heaven” by the American rock band Heart. This memorable rendition took place during the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony in December 2012, where Led Zeppelin was being honored for their contributions to music and culture.

Ann Wilson, the lead vocalist of Heart, delivered a stunning and powerful performance of “Stairway to Heaven,” accompanied by her sister Nancy Wilson on guitar and a full orchestra. Ann’s vocals captured the essence of the original song while adding her own unique emotional depth and range. The heartfelt and soulful interpretation received a standing ovation from the audience, including members of Led Zeppelin themselves.

The performance was a touching tribute to Led Zeppelin, highlighting the enduring impact of their music. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones, the surviving members of Led Zeppelin, were visibly moved by Heart’s rendition, and it was a fitting and emotional moment during the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony. The live 2012 version of “Stairway to Heaven” by Heart is a testament to the timelessness of the song and its ability to resonate with audiences across generations, making it one of the most celebrated and enduring rock compositions in music history.
