    I can't watch the video because I am at work, but I have seen several videos of Heart covering Led Zeppelin and I have been impressed every time.

    Heart said they started out doing covers of Zep from day one and that Zep inspired them to get into music.

    In the early 70's it seems every bar band in the U.S. was doing Zep covers.

    Yep.

    Now they have 30 years practice doing Zep covers as encores for their regular shows.

    I like Heart, and I like hearing bands do covers, and that one was fun to listen to.

    But I've seen Zeppelin play STH live twice, and it's the difference between professionally performing music in an entertaining manner, and wielding musical wonderment and awe.

    "Bring It On Home" - the first section is an uncredited cover of the Willie Dixon tune (as performed by the imposter Sonny Boy Williamson).

    IT's funny; that's how huge the song sounded to me the first time, y'know. I can see why it blew them away... they finally got to hear it the way we heard it in our heads at 14.

    They really seemed to enjoy it.

    Here is the full Kennedy Center Honors segment on Led Zepplin. There are some interesting covers.
