Led Zeppelin to receive Kennedy Center Honor

I just pray they don't edit any of the performances for Led Zeppelin. If I'm not mistaken the performers were: Lenny Kravitz, Kid Rock, Dave Grohl et. al, and then the grand finale with the Wilson sisters/Jason/Choir, correct??

You will be disappointed. One song more than likely it would be Stairway. Two songs tops would be my guess.

Show is magnificent so far.

We might be lucky and they keep everything. It's just ten - an hour left and it's only David Letterman's tribute (shouldn't take too long) and then our boys!

...well darn commercials in-between.

The Buddy Guy segment was spectacular. And Jimmy seemed to be enjoying it so much! It was beautiful.

[Percys_Plant]

Haha. So much joy and giddiness, it's infectious. Must be a trip having your best buddy on stage as well.

Paying homage to the great Buddy Guy,master of the Blues. I also think Jeff Beck will be involved with honoring the mighty Led Zeppelin.

I might be wrong. They gave Buddy Guy a pretty decent spot. We may get a few tunes after all.

I love Dave

[Percys_Plant]

Yes! At least 30 minutes of Zeppelin!

You shouldn't be so sceptical. The KC people are pros...

Great show, as always.

[Percys_Plant]

All right. I'm done. I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep now. Now THAT was a tribute. Just...beautiful. Urgh.

[Led Dirigible]

That was awesome. Stairway to Heaven was amazing, I wish they wouldn't have edited it!

[Walter]

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Had a tear in my eye the entire 'Stairway'. I am so proud to be a Zeppelin fan tonight!

[ebk]

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire evening.

So wish I'd given them my other phone number...then I would have been there!

[ZEPFAN17]

Wasn't that awesome!? It was great seeing the guys reactions, which was something I couldn't see at the show. The edited out Black Dog by Foo Fighters and BIGLY by Kid Rock. Still, it was a fantastic tribute!

The show was very well done, really enjoyed it. Loved Lenny and "Stairway". The presentation built as the song builds. So good. I think the band was even impressed. I was teary eyed right along with Robert.

[LivingLovingHeartbreaker]

It was really great! and the looks on their faces, they were touched. (as was i) WLL & STH were my favorite parts.

[zepscoda]

That was really something, Stairway was done magnificently.....

[Patrizia]

Just finished watching it on CBS and what an awesome tribute to Led Zeppelin. I was so touched by Robert Plant's tears, it brought tears to my own eyes. I have no words really to describe how this band has touched me as a teen and to this day, still one, if not, the only rock band in the world that brings me to heaven every time I listen to them. Congratulations Led Zeppelin. You are the reason God gave us ears!

[kaiser]

I was already teary eyed prior to the performances but when Jason came out wearing his father's hat... & then the entire choir wearing a version as well... then Jason looking up at the end of "Stairway"... it was a subtle tribute only a Zeppelin fan would get. I cried my eyes out. And then the whole house turning to Jones, Page, & Plant... it was the greatest of tributes. I am extremely proud to be a Led Zeppelin fan tonight. At long last, the proper acknowledgement & respect for the genius of what those men were & represented. The love in the house for them... beautiful is the only word.

Its nights like tonight that make me feel proud that during the past 32 years out of my 43 years of life, I've woven Led Zeppelin into my existence.
