Why they (or CBS) don’t make these things available puzzles me.<br /><br />I’m not a Led Zeppelin fan, but I’ll watch to see that.Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-76165995233879206882015-12-31T19:40:43.121-06:002015-12-31T19:40:43.121-06:00Someone commented that those cuts to people's ...Someone commented that those cuts to people's reactions are edited iater, so you don't know who bawled first. :) (Not sure that's true. Someone was complaining about Carole King.)<br /><br />This could be an official account. https://www.youtube.com/user/TheKennedyCenter<br /><br />The National Park Service had one, then for reasons I didn't understand, moved, so I have two accounts to switch between (the one for older stuff).<br /><br />There's a version of Heart where there's a reveal of the drummer, and everyone gasps because it's Jason Bonham, who bears a good resemblance to his dad, especially in the hat. There's a theory that's what made Plante cry.Slywyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01424323662407341123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-14745795188930738492015-12-31T18:58:43.199-06:002015-12-31T18:58:43.199-06:00I had tears in my eyes watching, and before Obama ...I had tears in my eyes watching, and before Obama did. :) Or at least before the camera went to him.<br /><br />The same YouTuber who shared this clip posted <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JK_DOJa99oo" rel="nofollow">Heart</a> three years ago. (Why is there no official Kennedy Center YouTube account?)<br /><br />I’m wondering if anyone will identify the backup singers online.

By the end of the first chorus...Wow, what a woman!<br /><br />By the end of the first chorus, I was on my feet, singing (well, that's what I call it) along with her, swaying and crying. I saved it to my favorites, then went back to listen again. Thanks for the link, Michael.<br /><br />(Then I got lost in the tribute to the Almighty Bruuuuce, located in the sidebar.)<br /><br />Going back for more Aretha. Listening to good r&b, good rock and roll is a great way to bring in the new year; a lovely, raucous way to lay the old year to rest.The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846997590157958766noreply@blogger.com
