Robert Plant in Tears at Kennedy Center Honors, 2012

Ann and Nancy Wilson, Heart, do what everyone thought could not be done. They did an excellent job performing "Stairway to Heaven" when the Kennedy Center Honors paid tribute to Led Zeppelin in late 2012. The Washington Post commented that at the after-party, the "grizzled Englishmen were the friendliest rock gods the event has seen in years." The website antimusic.com noted that Robert Plant was "humbled" by the honors.

Watch his face. Watch his eyes. Watch his hand at his face. At the same time, Jimmy Page seems totally happy and content, and John Paul Jones is smiling.

The choir in the black bowler hats is quite marvelous, and Ann Wilson succeeds.
