Strider Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Jack Black did a ok job, but they really could have done better. He's second tier, b-list material. Possible other names, Brian May, Paul Rodgers, Phil Collins, Roger Daltry, all would have been better choices. Phil fucking Collins?!?

imPLANTed Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I agree BUK, it would have been more appropriate for someone more serious to do the speech...certainly someone from the music world, however, I loved what Jack Black said. Have you all seen the extra at the end of the School of Rock DVD where Jack Black begs Zeppelin to use Immigrant Song? So frickin' hilarious! Perhaps instead of Jack Black they should have gotten Jack Bruce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingLovingHeartbreaker Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 ^^^ Do you have any idea when that's going to be aired? Their website and its schedule format is confusing as hell. Sorry I don't know, I'm just going to keep a look out on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidZoso Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I don't know how good a public speaker Stevie Nicks is, but I would have enjoyed hearing that woman give the introduction. I think she would have been good. She has done some good versions of Rock and Roll live and she was at the O2 DVD premier in New York- so she is a fan for sure. I always thought she and Jimmy Page would make a good couple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They clearly enjoyed it! Could have done without Kid Rock though, but thats just my opinion. Overall the entire show was great.

Such a great song, and was the well deserved grand finale. Jack Black was funny introducing Zep, he definitely gets it and is an obvious true Zep fan, like us here..."Best band ever!".

You could see he was fighting it very hard. Very moving to see. Also, Stairway, which has had a complicated relationship with Plant and fans alike over the years was revived as the historic song it is with a very moving performance. Felt real, real good to be reminded of the emotional impact on the culture of that song through the years. Great job by all muscians in giving tribute to the boys.

BINGO !! I ran across this OnStage Magazine article from 2013 today (while looking for something else Zep related). The Real Reason for Robert Plant’s Tears During “Stairway to Heaven” By Chris LeDrew on June 24, 2013 ARTICLE VIEWS: 16,488,334 http://onstagemagazine.com/the-real-reason-for-robert-plants-tears-during-stairway-to-heaven/ Edited February 23, 2018 by The Rover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porgie66 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Old thread here...just brought back a memory of standing in the back of the hall watching the video montage and feeling almost euphoric, until Kid Rock became the turd in the punch bowl. Thankfully Stairway cleansed that stench away. That was a magic night for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Quota Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Been watching this event in reaction videos on occasion as the Heart cover has become a monster in the Zeppelin lore. I was wondering if anyone knows who the two ladies sitting behind the lads were? One is behind and between Jonesy and Robert and the other lady can be seen best when the choir is revealed and she reaches up toward Jimmy from behind Letterman.

The one near Jonesy is his wife Maureen & the one near Letterman that gestures to Jimmy is Letterman's wife Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
