They do the best Zep covers . They are heavily influenced by Led Zepplin They are paying respect and tribute to an act they grew up idolizing. I have no doubt if Page and Plant see this they would watch it with a smile on their face. Thanks for posting it MikeEE.. Always loved these two ladies.. they rock. Period.

[MikeEE12246]

@TheBdriver  Yeah I was lucky in getting this video and my camera did the focus in by itself, one of my best videos, thanks, MikeEE

[barkingspider403]

Nancy's voice may have been better than Ann's, but not nearly as dynamic or exciting. Man could she play. Her guitar is even more awesome. Oh by the way, she was a knockout too!

[lupocephalic]

Woulda been nice if they had learned the lyrics.

[rubbersole79]

the fucking god awful scream at the beginning was nice........FUCK !

[MURRA1]

Its a great song and I'm sure that Jimmy would approve and Robert !

[ApollosPlace]

Excellent job on this classic Zep tune.

[steveb391]

These woman do the best cover of the Battle of Evermore I've ever heard.

[SgtFagan76]

"Flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes..." I always have loved that line. 

[baronvanhaughten]

of course i love zepplin's version better but this is great. good for Heart. they rocked it out.

[zackster98]

look, these were 20 yr old musical phenoms that were playing with tolkiens writings its nothing against god you fucking freaks-led zep!!!heart!!metallica!! and war eagle!!!

[morgzlucas]

Great cover of an awesome song! Led Zeppelin are truly amazing. Everyone should just shut the FUCK up and respect the people playing and the video uploader, they brang you a great cover and a great video so the least you can do is comment on something relevant. People dont upload videos so others can have irrelevant arguements about "Lord of the Rings" and what not.

[bbrae1990]

anns voice is flippin awesome and nancy is just a friggin bad ass on the guitar and mandolin!! rock goddesses all the way

[Bongingon]

yea man fuck religion this is alll lord of the rings

[redraidr12]

"Good thing I dont listen to Led Zep anymore."

Your huge loss bud. BTW, don't be a hypocrite, make sure you don't listen to any Heart either, or anything remotely good.

BTW, lol, it's all Tolkien stuff, not Christian. But sure, be our guest and label it blasphemy.

[9drtr]

But it is Christian. JRRT was a Christian, and his LotR is rich with his beliefs.

[redraidr12]

No, the Lord of the Rings isn't a Christian story. Not directly at least. Yes, JRRT was Christian, and there are plenty of parallels. That doesn't make it a strictly Christian story..

Regardless, that is all debatable.

The real post I was trying to make is wondering how you could label it as Satanic.

[9drtr]

There is a subculture in Christianity that responds badly to imagination in general and imaginative fiction in particular. Which is a convoluted way of saying "ignorance."

I am a Christian, and I've loved Zepp - and Heart - for many years.

[mrdiscus66]

@9drtr There is no god. Get over it.

[9drtr]

@mrdiscus66 There is a God. Get close to Him.

[mrdiscus66]

@9drtr If there are gods they're just superior beings from Outer Space. Some of them might come and start eating us. I hope they get the Christians first.

[PeopleSmoks]

modernserf is dead on. It's about the fight AGAINST darkness. "At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,

With flames from the dragon of darkness

The sunlight blinds his eyes." In the end, the light wins.

[comazzi07]

This song is soooo mesmarizing, but sooo Satanic! Dang it! I never looked up the lyrics until tonight, but DANG! Good thing I dont listen to Led Zep anymore. This stuff is sorta scary when looking at how precise and methodical they are at their lyrics, chords, bridges, and content....while at the same time describing occultic stuff. God have mercy!

[InKa4484]

god is dead zeppelin is eternal.

[modernserf]

Comazzi07 - The Battle of Evermore is the continuing saga of man and war! Did you every read Tolkiens trilogy? Yes its dark! Where in the hell did you get Satan though? Thats a Christian thing. This is Middle Earth and its Sauron and the Nazgul ( ring- wriaths )against Man & all manner of beings, flora and fauna of Middle Earth. Where is my bow? I shall shoot straighter then before.

[skipmendler]

"Satanic"? Hey, you got the Prince of Peace right there, what's the problem? ;*)

[cropuless]

god have mercy indeed. good thing that fool ain't real.

[originaldivinylsfan]

The Wilson sisters prove their worth, yet again. Better than LZep by far.

[theladywriter]

Such a wonderful rendition of this beautiful, trippy song by the warrior queens of rock!

[babyj1996]

ANN WILSON IS A GODDESS!!!

[InKa4484]

Nancy is the Goddess.

[amccann7]

love what Heart does with this song!

[eilismaireg]

brilliant and beautiful!

[ritzel95]

heart is one of my favorite bands

specially cuz ann has an awesome voice

and the guitarist is BADASS with the guitar AND mandolin =]

[Mayflower1357]

Stop talking about weight, fuck. STOP IT!

[MikeEE12246]

Then please do.

[MikeEE12246]

I could use a bacon double cheeseburger combo meal, should that distract from the talent of Heart or the Wilson sisters. If so go back to watching Milli Vanilli.

[PlatinumJester]

Led Zep were shit at this live cos JPJ was on back up vocals and he sucked (sorry Jonesy but stick to bass/piano). The Page/Plant version was one of their better songs.

[rimboTHEbad]

Not keen on Heart as a band, but this cover rocks. Did the original proud.

[einarabelc5]

Excerpt from the Song Remains the Same Movie:

?v=N9i2fqxSjTI

Actually what I feel was never bested is the version of Dazed And Confused you have, but in the album, in the Movie they mix several versions and it sucks!!!

And then theres the video with the added Solo on The VIKING SONG!!!

I meant Immigrant...A little piece of hidden knowledge when Robert wrote it, the Vikings the third American Immigrants...From the Land of ICE AND SNOW!!

[jim543212]

The vikings were the third immigrants? Let me get this straight. Are you counting Saint Brendan as the second?

[einarabelc5]

Omg, Before the clovis there were neaderthals who orginally lived in what is known now as Central France. Thanks for the sarcasm, it goes to prove what do you know and how do you think, which is very common. Peace.

[jim543212]

Wow. Thanks for the enlightenment. Can you direct me to the place with the proof of Neanderthals in America? You know the other day I was sitting in class at the local Community College and I learned that aliens landed in the USA in 1948 and gave us all our current technology just before the USSR and the USA built a wall across the entire country of Germany in 1945. Go figure.

[einarabelc5]

Lol. Jimmy, go do something useful.

[Ledhead323]

Jimmy would puke.

[MikeEE12246]

I think that since Heart is playing this Jimmy has approve that they sing it. And I am sure that Heart is paying LZ for the privilege to play this song. How about just enjoy it and if you don't like don't listen to it. I just thought it was a great video.

[IsaaAl]

some people feel free to judge

as if they were such a great musicians

don't pay attention dude

it's a great video..

[MikeEE12246]

Thanks I think that is true, but who am I to judge. Thanks for the compliment. Later.

[NHfiddle]

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and mine is that Heart does a great job with Zep tunes. Ann Wilson might be getting older, but she still has the voice.

[einarabelc5]

YEAH SURE!!! You're absolutely right on the spot...That's why they were the opening band for Led Zeps songs, and thats why John Paul Jones played with them several times, who do you think did the mandolin? Go learn who Led Zeppellin really are and then get to know Heart. Any other way and you are only bathing in the excrement of your own putrefacid thoughts.

[kaybee1702]

this is so much better then the original

[MythicDude]

Great cover! one of my favs being coverd by another legend!

[smithdsmit]

ann is just a victem of genes that make her retain weight. back in the cave man days those traites were desirable because there wasnt as much food. she is still pretty and still incredibly talented. Heart was a great band and there current line is pretty good too

[einarabelc5]

I don't know but what about when she was young?

I dont think it was menopuase, sho what else could had been? Don't know if she was a little overweighted when she was a growing up either. But who cares she makes you feel great when she sings. Nice Four instruments there!!! Wow I'm just listening to the birng it part...there she goes to comfirm it.

[Kilooscarromeo]

What the fuck happened to Ann,how the fuck can someone of such beauty get like she is now, I'm thinking she must have a medical problem or she made herself look like this, because of all the men that most likely were hitting on her .What do you think?

[einarabelc5]

Dude I think you dont have a clue about how women feel, react or think. You better go get a friend lady and ask her. Women can get around wussies all the time, no woman would damage herself because of that. Even more a person like Ann. I don't believe she actually cares what other think or like/dislike about her. Hence she wouldn't put her own and sacrifice to accomodate for others.

[buhbuhray13]

I would only wanna see this version of this song. zeps original recording is much better live by these talented woman that zep could have ever done live

[MikeEE12246]

I am sorry I love Heart and I love this song but Led Zepplin's live is hard to beat. Check out the movie, The Song Remains the Same. The best thing that Heart has over Led Zepplin is time. I think that their performances over the 10 years are outstanding. See them if you can.

[einarabelc5]

Umm I have it, they are not so much. Go check Pictures from an exibition from ELP,and then you have the many releases of Dream Theater where you actually cant distinguish live from record.And then of course theres VAI who has improved amazingly over the years.I can tell that's much certain cause I was there!!!

Led Zep suck LIVE, If you want to compare apples to apples then you have the original Deep Purple who would toy around with Ledzeps performances.And let me tell you LZ was my # 1

[jim543212]

I never saw zep live, but saw DP many times. DP was usually really good till Blackmore threw a fit cause Gillian was drunk. Want to see a band live that sounds as good as the record, think of earth Wind and fire or Chicago in their old days...

[InKa4484]

Horrible sound quality and that's a shame cause i love heart and zeppelin.

[tallulah2]

Wonderful!  Thanks so much!

[lostonbroadway]

Niiiiiiiice. They are so suited for Zep tunes! Thanks for sharing, man.

[AdIgnorantiam]

This was amaaaaaaaazing. Their folk roots really come out. I think this most definitely lives up to the original. Their voices are just as pure as ever.

[lovesheart]

Look forward to their return to their other home..

Van B.C.

[billiondollarbabys]

Anns untouchable :]

[lztenyearsgonelz]

ok wow u guys have never listened to zeppelin ever because that guitar was nothing compared to page.... and the vocals no just no

[MikeEE12246]

I have nothing against Led Zepplin, I wish they were still around. But since they are not touring (and probably will never tour again, I enjoy something in its place, and I think Ann does a fair job of it.

[CEBREESE]

Heart should STOP trying to do LZ songs - they've never gotten it right - the timing is way off!

[darrin924]

timing is 'way off'?...lmao..umm, do u even KNOW what 'timing' is?

the 'TIMING' was fine...u may have been referring to the 'cadence' with the drums , which r non existant in the original...or the SLIGHT variations in vocal tempos , which are nonetheless STILL in 'TIME'

please KNOW what yer narkin about BEFORE u snarl, mmm kay?

thiswas AMAZING

[einarabelc5]

Use your feet or clap gentleman.

[mediacritic]

"Heart should STOP trying to do LZ songs"

Heart is one of the few bands that could (and can) do Zep songs justice. LZ has said as much, and Plant said "Barracuda" was the song he's wanted to write his whole life. Get real.

[rushrobot]

Absolutely Awesome

[Mayflower1357]

Thank you for posting this great video!

[edude203]

BEUTIFULL

[borashen]

thank you!

[Mayflower1357]

Great ladies!!! Thank you for this great video!

[loverules4ever]

Just came across this! Thank You Mike! The ladies are awesome, as usual. I could watch Nancy wail on that mando all day long.
