When I Play Led Zeppelin Stairway To Heaven in Public | Cole Lam

  • Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven is slowly becoming one of my favourite rock anthems to play - "I Have Never Seen Anyone Play Led Zeppelin Like That!" is what the couple says! How cool is that. I think I put in that extra bit of energy in the end, channelling myself through the music into the piano.
    Like I said in my 'Behind the scene of "The Piano"' video - • Behind The Scenes TV "... - if I knew it was being judged for something like Royal Festival Hall, then this is probably what I would have chosen. I love big rock anthems, I connect with them more, and well - I think you can tell I love playing them!

      Cole, the Zeppelin catalog is very varied. Their songs were influenced by blues and oriental sounds. It would be interesting for you to listen and choose. There are fantastic songs like Kashmir, The Rain Song, All My Love (maybe you like this one, Robert Plant wrote it for his son who died at the age of five), there are so many, it’s hard to say. I trust your choice, any Zepp song will be great 😊

      Led Zeppelin was good, but when Rush formed, just brilliant..and I mostly stopped listening to Zep. Especially once Neil Peart (Pea-Yurt) joined, Ohhh...Enki. I didn't like Stairway of Heaven, it was too religious for me. As for the people..and music - most music after 2010 is pure junk, especially with the advent of Auto-Tune and Rap becoming, somehow, more popular. I've heard people playing Rush music using a piano, and I'll tell you, if you come into a song after the person has been playing for a bit, it can be challenging to know *what* the person is playing. I knew from the beginning of this, and I didn't need the title, to know what song he is going to play. But had I been there, or anywhere, after it had gotten started...I wouldn't have been able to tell. With an Electric Guitar, I would have. Drums, I might be able to tell.
      I know he plays well, and that's what I would have been enjoying. Though the piano isn't my favorite instrument I adore listening when people are actually playing *something* rather than using some kind of lame machine doing sampling. Auto-Tune I cannot handle, that's for people who don't sing well, and shouldn't be singing at all. It sounds horrible.
      For a lot of people, if it isn't "Pop" junk they don't know what a song is. I don't listen to Pop, and I know a lot of people, at least around where I am, listen to horrible Rap stuff, and are blowing our their ears with over-done bass, so I don't hear a lot of GOOD music anymore from cars. Once in a while.. It also depends where you are on this Earth, some people know Zed Zeppelin and others...not at all. I love Marvel movies, but was very disappointed that not a single Rush song made it into "Guardians of the Galaxy" movies for being such an influential band.
      I dig his passion, not a song choice I would go with, but...the passion matters and that's why I would have stopped for a little while. Led Zeppelin doesn't really appeal to me much anymore, BUT he didn't sing the lyrics, so...I might have stayed to watch him getting into it because of that.

    WOW! That was INCREDIBLE Cole. Watching from South Texas at 3am! Now I can’t sleep because I’m so jacked up after hearing this genius rendition of Stairway To Heaven! Hope the launches your career into the stratosphere! Well done and stay safe!

    From here in Brazil, I like these street singers and shoping around the world, if you know the talent of the human being, whatever country he or she is from, congratulations to this guy who plays a song by one of the greatest bands in the world and very well on the Piano. Hugs to all.

    So many that just walk past without stopping. We (western society) are all (myself included) just too scheduled and busy to appreciate truly beautiful things like the playing of this song live. How much LIFE is right under our noses that minute by minute we let just pass us by?.
    Beautiful.

    It's amazing how many people simply walk by and not pay attention! If I were there, I sit down on the ground, mesmerized, in awe. I was wondering if Cole could make the piano sing as loud as Robert Plant. As judged by the kid coverage his ears, Cole indeed made the piano scream.

  • @lindaward3156

    I loved music passionately as 15-year-olds do when the original came out and thought it was akin to finding gold/religious experience. I've heard many covers of it over the decades but never one like this. it must be so cool to create music thru your fingertips

  • @marciashiraishi5891

    Oh Cole, this made me smile and cry at the same time. Stairway To Heaven is my anthem, I hear it every day, I've heard it thousands of times and I never get tired of it. A masterpiece, one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded and the most iconic guitar solo of all time. I could almost hear the unmistakable voice of Robert Plant…I wish Jimmy Page could hear that. Your performance was amazing, perfect, worthy of the greatest rock band in the universe. I LOVED! 😍 Thanks a lot 😊

    WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cole, this one was an experience (back in my day we would have called it a trip). Loved the pianist, loved the song selection, loved the energy and passion. You took a true classic, played it as well, or better than anyone could and then blew it out of the water by exploding into it with that Cole Lam genius. I'm glad there's only one of you, I couldn't handle two. All I can say is goodness gracious, great balls of fire, oh, and also, as always, Love ya buddy, stay safe and healthy.❤❤❤👑of🎹👏👏👏

    OMG !!! This was absolutely the most beautifulest piano playing song I have ever heard. It brings back the good old days when I was young. If I were there I probably would have shouted out BRAVO BRAVO! You should get yourself an agent and have agent book you for the performing arts in front of hundreds of people to listen to how you play your piano so so eloquently. Thank you for being on TH-cam. Hope you one day play in concert. Good luck....

    I was mesmerized by this beautiful rendition of Stairway to Heaven! It was so wonderfully personalized and performed! He looked in the zone as they say! I had one year of piano so I have a great respect for anyone that can play much less play so well! It is truly a gift! I have always loved this song since the original was performed in the early 70's. It was a song frequently played at all our school dances. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!

    This song brings tears to my eyes because it reminds me of a time when all my friends were so happy. A few have passed but the rest of us that remain have an breakable bond and this particular song revitalizes a time when life was so innocent and how beautiful life was when we had youth on our side. Life is good, absorb every minute of it.

Incredible...I would have not be able to get close enough to hear the music loud enough even though you was ROCKING that thing man... I freaking loved it and ALL public displays of brilliance like this... It is magical to those who are not deaf...

    Dear Cole, I’ve listened to other piano covers, to me none other captured the force the rich sound and melody and rhythm as yours. Just brilliant! 😊truly captivating. Same feeling triggered as if i was listening to actual led zeppelin live versions. Really there’s Robert singing, the drums, bass, guitar all in you and your playing and now i will also forever hear your piano whenever i listen to them. What a treat!
