  • Wow!!!!!Shit what great voices, the best voices, they do this song such credit! They almost piss over Robert Plants voice and I LOVE his voice. Wow.

  • it's a very nice version..they still got the magic

  • i could listen to this song for the rest of my life. Nancy's voice is gorgeous and im obsessed. Ann's voice is spectactular as usual but i'm totally in love with Nancy's mandelin playing!!! and i love Ann's guitar. Nancy used to play it in the 70s. always been my favorite!

  • I can only imagine artists getting their work covered like this have to be so proud

  • They were so fine.Still are.talent like you just don't see.Maybe it's from not having all the crap trappings of our modern society

  • Heart they are great..

  • They can open for the Hall but still aren't members. I guess they're just the help. What a shame.

  • Wow, i respect them immensely for this.

  • maybe im getting old but wasnt music better then, instead of the xfactor rubbish

  • @wetukman

    Keep your mind open, cause your parents/grandparents thought that way about the Beatles.....there's still a lot of talent yet to be discovered, but I relish these girls like you wouldn't believe.

  • Another great version by Ann & Nancy is here (search on YouTube):

    MTV Singles Premiere Party Pt1

  • pure magic....

  • This song is down right amazing

  • Woah!!!!! I had to sit quietly for a minute or two after hearing these epic ladies and watching this performance for the first time! Power and musicianship! OMG!

    I need to hear more! :¬)

  • MAGIC

  • Ann & Nancy Wilson of Heart fame? Unbelievable!

  • Thanks for posting this. I forgot how talented Heart is/was. Amazing cover.

    

  • @giantsquidstudio they still are amazing, i got the pleasure of seeing them live, and believe me no live show is better

  • fucking So Awesome. my bud sez this is on display at RnRHall o' Fame

  • Ann and Nancy are the real deal

  • Did that just happen? Those vocal slides...in PERFECT HARMONY!!!!!!! Freaking awesome!

  • great 

  • i am flying 1200 kilometers this october just to see these wonderful gals do there first ever australian concerts on the same bill with def leppard and i am willing to put up with the leppard only to see Ann and nancy weave there magic , great rock chicks

  • nancy wilson has some wicked strumming rhythm.

  • Great musicians, ann is very underrated as a vocalist

  • i am blown away!

  • Heart : The only band I know that can pull it off. The rest of the Zep covers are absolutely lame (Read: Mary J Blige cover of Stairway).

  • Ann and Nancy are the only people who truly understand Zep well enough to do them justice. This is an awesome performance.

    

  • Dare I say it's vocally a bit better than the original? If only the girls could have done it with Led Zep...

  • Any comments? Other than Ann & Nancy Wilson, who can pull your chain with the best of Led Zep? I can't think of anyone else.

  • Oh yes! Really good version of Led Zeppelin song.

  • Comment removed

  • they sound Awesome!

  • Very nice (perfect?) live performance from my favorite and very talented ladies. Ann has the perfect voice for this. Nancy kicks major ass on the mandolin and harmonies. I'm a Zep fan but I like this much better.

  • I can listen to this video over and over. Watching and listening to these two lovely, talented ladies is very very addicting. They totally exploit their talent in this song.

  • I can listen to this video over and over. Watching and listening to these two lovely, talented ladies is very very addicting.

  • Every time I listen this it gives me goose bumps. Only Ann & Nancy could pull this one off as well as Led Zepplin.

  • I don't think I have seen these ladies perform together where they did not give it 110%.

  • they r awesome balls or not

  • not as good as Led, but nobody can come as close a second as they do. 

  • These girls never fail to "Trip Me." Great stuff

  • Heart has been my favorite band since 1977....first concert I ever went to was Heart!

    They always did great covers of Zep.

  • seeing them two singing and strummin man...

  • Thanks ! something here that was missing in my life & I never knew !

  • i thought this was a joke at first, i'm impressed

  • excellent stuff, love these girls....

  • Hehe...a little insight for all of you who are watching Heart for maybe the first time....

    Ann and Nancy grew up HUGE zep fans. You can hear it on almost all their albums...that subtle influence. But it is especially prominent on the album Jupiter's Darling. By far their best album ever as far as pure rock music goes!

  • Super ladies ! Heart is forever !!

  • It takes a lot of balls to cover Led Zeppelin ....Oh Wait!

  • @zadok327 its called ovarian fortitude ~ ;)

  • Supernatural. Better than Zeppelin... It brakes my heart... Still - Pure bestness.

  • This was so incredible I wanted to cry

  • q hijas de puta

  • Sends chills down my spine! INCREDIBLE!!!

  • gave me goose bumps......vocals were passionate & full-on. I've watched it 4 times now....... the vocal bits are just full of guts. these ladys rock...too good! I doubt if any pop singers could do this without any studio help

  • @kristinsuzanne, WTF indeed.

  • Nancy can play some strings man!!

  • A W E S O M E ! ! ! !

  • Covering Zepplin in the 90's really took balls. They did a pretty good job too.

  • UNTOUCHABLE!!!!

  • These women are magical...amazing, the best!

  • Wilson sister's still can rock

  • @longfootbuddy WTF! Why must every asshole out there mention Ann's body weight? What about the Music??

  • their parents must be aweome!

  • I was there in 1995 - and it was awesome! 6 hour, 40 minute rock and roll concert? AMAZING to have been there!

  • i've said it before, I'll say it again: Holy Shit. listen to the crowd at the end; just had their minds/ears Melted! Thank God for this

  • God damn these two were great. Nancy's mandolin was crazy good, and I think her guitar was even better.

  • Awsome talent

  • too bad zep didnt have nancy to sing back up on this tune in 77!! you know what i take that back! we would have never heard the song!!

  • I am simply in love with Ann and Nancy, alway have been and always will be. They did an amazing job with this cover, and they are the only one who could pull it off as good as or somewhat better than Zeppelin. Don't get me wrong, Im a huge Zep fan, but Nancy is way hotter than Jimmy, and Even on the thick side, i'd do Ann over Robert any day!

  • @jerywilliams she is not "on the thick side". She is fat. And she is awesome.

  • Yes, yes, yes, this is the way it's suppose to be. Heart and soul. They have always been excellent live and still continue to be today. Your children should be very proud of you for paving the way for many women today. Two of the most powerful ladies ever!

  • Pure, just pure muscial talent, no gimmicks, no over produced auto tuning harmonizing engineers, nada, just two rock godettes. Name some female singer that can pull this off today.....not with their contrived fake r & b riffs that all sound the same like some disney stars, or whoever, name one.......................no, I didnt think so.

  • YAY for Heart. Some of the best for Zep covers and of course, their own songs, from my city Bellevue WA

  • They left out the verse with my favorite line

    "The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath

    The drums will shake the castle wall, the Ringwraiths ride in black" (ride on)

  • don't stop ladies, you're a beautiful and awesome inspiration to this new generation. I thank God for you - I point to you when I'm encouraging my daughters 14 and 17.

  • yes they are amikee69....I've worked with them...it's hard to explain how much they loved Led Zeppelin...but of course it has always come out in their music...we always called them "Led Zeppelin Jr" ...lol

  • These are the Women Goddesses of Zep music.

  • No autotune,no stupid dancers or costume changes-just 2 awesomely talented musicians.

  • Just awesome!!!!!!

  • thank you very much for the vid.....awsome

  • As a die hard Zepplin fan, these girls played at my high school and just blew me away. They are the only musicians that can do a cover of Zepplin..plus they just kick ass...way ahead of the curve and blazed a lot of trails for females in the industry. Keep on rockin ladies!

  • Really really impressive. Those women are talented.

  • The inception of The Lovemongers -- great version!

  • Undoubtedly the greatest female voices in rock...and can pull off Zeppelin...WOW! Nobody else that I can think of can do that. I'm 52, so grew up with them, but unfortunately, never got a chance to see them. To this day, they put others to shame.

  • nothing more attractive than a musically talented woman

  • That deserves a replay !

  • o my god nancy is the best roberplant impersonator in the world AND she is a girl

  • INCEDIBLE!!

  • Comment removed

  • these ladies RULE!!!!!! rock on with dem vocals and instrumental genius!!!!! irie : )

  • The Wilson sisters have always ...well...pretty much worshipped Zeppelin...check out their version of "Black Dog'''...it is truly amazing....

  • What a pair of voices, amazing. I agree you cant autotune perfection like this.

  • Amazing. Such talent.

  • magnificent 

  • The fact that Robert Plant and the Wilson sisters sing it in the same octave is amazing. It says something about both musicians really.

  • @TheReighnart

    brilliant observation!  i love these women so much!!

  • Little Led Zep does it again!!!!!!

  • @mycroft51 on this performance ann wilson does robert plant better than he was doing it by then, he's phenomenal lead singer but he's started pissing me off when he was accusing every one who came out in the mid-eighties to early nineties of imitating him like he was the only voice out before them

  • Little Led Zep does it again!!!!!!

  • Absolutely spot on rendition. There isn't a better voice in Rock& Roll than Ann Wilson.(except for maybe her sister after hearing this!) So much fucking talent between the 2 it's almost scary

  • Chills....chills Damn I get chills!

  • incredible.

  • Brings back memories of Port Coquitlam Sr. Sec. High School and the Poco Wilson Rec. Centre dances, where they first played this song. Making me all maudlin...

  • impresionantes, las antiguas wilsons-philips?

  • fucking incredible

  • Shivers and tears. Amazing.

  • All Heart Fans know how great Nancy is.

  • I can't stop watching this. It gives me faith that auto tuners and the hacks that use them will fade away and be exposed for the fakes that they are. These two are truly talented.

  • @jdtiff Fade away in the blinding light of true music...

  • @jdtiff FUCKIN A

  • @jdtiff

    OH HELL YEAH

  • Beautiful song Sung by fit women !

  • Beautiful song

  • dAM THIS IS GREAT

  • They are in the rock and roll hall of fame in our hearts! Screw the people who pick who gets in. This is one of the worlds greatests bands ever. Ann and Nancy have great voices, Nancy can jam better than the big boys, Ann can out sing the big boys.

  • I LUV u Wilson Sisters, queens of Rock N Roll.

  • I didn't know Nancy had that kind of a voice in her

  • eat your Heart out, Led Zeppelin.

  • wow.....!!!!!!!!!!

  • Brilliant cover of a very hard song to cover brillantly !

  • this is beautiful!

  • It's as if this song was written for them. A perfect version of another Classic Zep song :)

  • Heart will definitely own a piece of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Trust me, Just give it a few more short years.

  • This is just an amazing cover of a Zep song. This may be the best!

  • I am so madly in love!!! There are no other voices in the whole world like these two gals!

  • @ 4:00 into this thing, my hair stood straight up on my arms. They are truly amazing.

  • @jdtiff oh snap, same here but a bit earlier.

  • To the Lady gaga and katy perry heads>>>>>> THIS is talent!!!

  • get the chills every time i watch this, especially at the end of the song. i never knew Nancy could sing so incredibly too.....love these 2 musical goddesses.

  • @drjimmy73 oh yeah, nancy actually sings these dreams.

  • @drjimmy73 You've never heard "These Dreams" by Heart? Nancy Wilson did the lead vocals on that song, and I believe that was the only Heart song that made it to number one on the charts.

  • @drjimmy73 for chills check out their cover of Rock and Roll, Doc !!! its here on youtube "heart-rock and roll live"

  • I just happened to know, before I ever clicked.

    nancy on mandolin and annie on guitar.

    sit in the basement. lock the doors. headphones.

    enjoy. then play their next.

  • robert plant is rolling in his grave...well, he would be were he dead..lol/

  • @rowdymax1 Ahhh They(surviving members) have given their blessings for doing the covers, yes coverS, Heart has covered MANY Led Zeppelin tunes. They have even stated that they really like their versions.

  • Wow

  • I cant stop watching this. Only a true Zep fan will ever understand what happened here. There is noway the surviving members of Led Zeppelin have not seen this.

  • These sisters can flat out sing this song. Wonderful, better harmony singing than the Zep original, and why not? hey, they are sisters who have sung together for decades. And even better sounding live version by the Wilson's is on the Bridge School Concert, Volume 1, which is a compilation of best performances from the Neil Young-produced annual charity concerts for the Bridge School. All proceeds go to charity, by the way.

  • Hey Zep fans like me this is truely awesome yes. But also check out a band who does Led Zeppelin covers who are the only band besides heart who do them justice. Their called GRUHAK. I promise youll freak oout at NIGHT FLIGHT. Not one bad comment on them

  • I past comment here halfway through the song. By the end as a Led Zeppelin for 30 years now. By the end I had tears of amazment. I am in shock and awesome. You can just hear the crowd seriously freak out with thier applause at the end of this

  • Yes, yes , yes brilliant.  I am sure the boys have seen this xx

  • tres belle reprise !!!

  • It's not an exaggeration when I say I'm in love with Nancy Wilson. Cameron Crowe's got it made.

  • With a gift like her voice- she doesn't need to do anything else----

  • These ladies are truly a gift to us. They sing this song so good it brings tears to my eyes. If there is any justice they will be inducted into the RnR Hall of Fame. It's criminal they're not there now. I mean Jesus, listen to them.

  • EXCELLENT COVER!

  • Plant & Page would've been very proud

  • lol Nancy is Robert Plant and Ann is jimmy page xD

  • So, so great, thank you for posting. Heart, from right here in Seattle. I have seen many videos of Ann playing guitar.

  • Best live version ive heard yet. I dont think even Robert Plant can hit those high notes like that anymore.

  • Best live version ive heard yet. I dont think even Robert Plant can hit those high notes like that anymore.

  • Man, Their voices are the best! Thats a Beast Mandolin too.

  • AMAZING!!

  • its funny how woman are generally the only ones that can do Plants voice justice

  • ann has played terrific mount of instrumemts on heart studio albums,drums,bas,mandolin,pian­o,the girl is a multi instrumentalist as well as a fantastic vocalist.

  • ""...but they could never write anything like this thats why they only paid homage to the true masters! "" Those first two Zep albums were paying homage to people like Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf,and Willie Dixon etc etc,the orig "true masters", lifting riff after riff,and stealing some songs altogether while giving themselves the writting credit on the album jacket.Apparently Page/Plant could never write anything like "dazed and confused" for example,they stole it.You need to chill with that.

  • @martinishot True masters my ass ya ok the first 2 albums may have been paying homage to WIllie and Muddy but the 3rd album, Physical Graffiti and Presence are there best albums that top Dixon, Waters, and Wolf by far the riffs alone in those albums blow anything out of the water before them

  • @HuntingAwaller Thats right TRUE MASTERS. Everybody from Page/Plant to Clapton to Jagger/Richards etc recognises them as the men who inspired them.You think anything they heard in England during the 50's growing up inspired them like that? All those people seeing those early Zep shows in the fall of 68 spreading the word of mouth about the amazing new songs they just heard were totally ignorant and had never looked in the R&B section of the record store.Had they looked ,no Zep stardom in 68-69.

  • @HuntingAwaller Have any examples of The Who,Stones,Clapton,Heart,etc lifting riff after riff and plagerizing songsaltogether with no credit for the original writer to give me? Good luck,better have a lot of free time. Zeppelin belongs in the HOF no question,but the legacy is tarnished.Stop living in denile.The posting was dissing Ann and Nancy,meanwhile Zep themselves owe a dept to those before them.What Dixon got in the plagerism suit for "whole lotta love" was a joke compared to Page/Plant.

  • @martinishot Ya i agree Whole Lotta Love is basically Dixons song not Led Zeppelins, and Plant and Page know it, Page told him to change the lyrics yet he didn't. Although i don't really agree with them plagerizing more then 3 or 4 riffs, Jimmy Page is inventive enough to contrive his own because he is the best guitar riff inventor in history.

  • @HuntingAwaller Blackmore might disagree with that last sentence.

  • @martinishot

    led zeppelin's early material and some of their later blues numbers where lyrically almost identically alike to traditional blues songs, which is not really stealing. blues covers are very common. although they did not give them credit i think their versions were amazing. i also love zeppelins completely original material, listen to 'achilles last stand', 'in the light' and other mindblowing zeppelin tunes

  • @mistad00m Today Jake Holmes,writer of "Dazed and Confused" filed a plagerism suit. If the current owner of the cataloge has to pay him off, in or out of court, it will be another blemish.Some people with endless time and a bug up their ass(who knows maybe Stones fans) have actualy been pieceing together I and II almost completey from old pre 1968 songs.One of them has been uploadeding it on UTube.Don't mind me though,continue with your damage control.

  • @martinishot

    a blemish? music isnt a competition

    or about points man. the original version of that song

    sounds NOTHING like zeppelins version except for the first line.

    again i disagree with zeppelin for not giving any credit to the original songwriters but they didnt really steal it. they just made it something else,

    like the when the who did summertime blues.

  • @mistad00m No but it is a business or did you think Page and Plant got pennies for the catalog and publishing? Sounds nothing like? Not quite. The slow brooding part makes up at least half the song,with Pages chords interrupting it several times.If some guy shows up with his old 1965 published recording of "a day in the life" ,does McCartney respond "yeah well I wrote the bouncy piano part in the middle,F off" ?The Who made Summertime Blues their own at Leeds,but no Townsend on the album jacket.

  • @mistad00m Maybe someday old songs will turn up that sound like "gimmie shelter" and "Baba O Riley" You can always hope.

  • Mistral Wind. Check it out if you think A &N can't keep up in the songwriting department. And seeing BOE performed live by A & N was phenomenal. Yet the fact that any discussion on this particular topic (songwriting) would include "hotness" of anyone in these bands undermines any credibility the poster may have had, which is a shame. These can be invigorating discussions and I have listened to music and changed formerly held opinions when presented with intelligent information.

  • fucking brilliant !.they were always influenced by Zeppelin..there's even footage of them playing this tune unplugged with john paul jones himself.. !

  • A true tribute to their favorite band. This is a great performance.

    thank you.

  • Outstanding...tremendous cover of an old personal favorite.

  • can't get enough of this

  • Best Performance Ever since The original version!

  • Ann Wilson plays many instruments as the comments mention above/below. However, her greatest talent is the use of her amazing voice. Dreamboat Annie was one of the best albums Heart ever released. Mr. Robert Plant I'm sure is honored that these two amazing artists sing one of his best songs as good, if not better than he ever did. One phrase comes to mind hearing this awesome rendition of the Battle of Evermore: Rock On, Ladies!! !! !!
