Absolutely killer cover of Stairway to Heaven by Heart at the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors for Led Zeppelin. A string of other fine covers preceded this had already made the Led Zep members emotional. Watch them bring Robert Plant to tears by 6:30 mark. Big kudos to Ann Wilson and awesome choir/arrangement.

Today I received word that one of my professor's from grad school passed away after a year and a half long battle with cancer. During that struggle he left his parting gift to the world in the form of his farewell album. Listening to it within this context is chilling. It's all about his own struggle with mortality.

I knew that this guy was a professional rock musician in a previous career, but didn't realize he would produce something like this.

One of the greatest music videos of all time, "The Weight" by The Band with a little help from The Staples Singers filmed by Martin Scorsese is exceptional high quality for 1978:
Right at the end Mavis Staples whispers, "beautiful!"

Nice to see Willie is still Alive! Because this thread is so dead I'll share a story from 1984. A High school friend's cousin was in Waylon Jennings band, so ended up in Foxboro, Ma at a concert featuring Neil Young, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and The Band. Back stage passes. Pretty uneventful day early, chilling and watching some good music. I was really there for Neil Young, so when he finally came on we headed onto the side of the stage to watch. We watched a great show from up close, and met a woman hanging out on the side of the stage next to us, holding a baby. We watched the whole show with her, and soon we learned that she was Neil's wife, holding his son. Long story short, when Neil went offstage for his encore he came over to his wife, and she introduced my friend and I to him. Then, he fired up a joint, and shared it with us. Great moment for a couple of recent high school graduates. I wish Willie was around to share in the moment. Setlist from Neil
