"Stairway to Heaven" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released in late 1971. It's widely regarded as one of the greatest rock songs of all time and a seminal piece of music in the rock genre. Here's some information about it:
Composition: The song was written by the band's guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant. Page composed the music, while Plant penned the lyrics. It features a dynamic arrangement that progresses from a gentle acoustic introduction to a powerful rock climax.
Release: "Stairway to Heaven" was released as the opening track on Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth studio album, commonly referred to as Led Zeppelin IV. The album was a massive commercial success, reaching the top of the charts in several countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom.
Length: The song is known for its length, running for over eight minutes. This was unusual for radio play at the time, but "Stairway to Heaven" gained widespread popularity despite its length.
Lyrics: The lyrics of "Stairway to Heaven" are often interpreted as allegorical, with various interpretations offered by listeners over the years. The song's themes include spirituality, morality, and the search for meaning. Some have speculated that the lyrics contain references to literature, mythology, and occult symbolism.
Guitar Solo: Jimmy Page's guitar solo in "Stairway to Heaven" is legendary and is often cited as one of the greatest guitar solos in rock history. The solo builds gradually, starting with subtle, melodic phrases before climaxing in a flurry of fast-paced licks and runs.
Cultural Impact: "Stairway to Heaven" has had a significant cultural impact since its release. It has been covered by numerous artists and featured in various films, TV shows, and commercials. The song's popularity endures to this day, and it is a staple of classic rock radio playlists.
Controversies: Despite its acclaim, the song has also faced criticism and controversy. In the 1980s, there were allegations of backward masking, with some claiming that hidden Satanic messages could be heard when the song was played backward. Led Zeppelin denied these allegations, and they were largely dismissed as urban legends.
Overall, "Stairway to Heaven" remains a timeless classic and a defining work in the rock music canon. Its enduring popularity and cultural significance have cemented its place in music history. - เพลง
One of the reasons I like you guys is because you’re honest. I know you’re never gonna lie about liking a song. I appreciate that.
wow thanks
I'm 66 and will be forever grateful to have lived through a time when talent was what got you to the top 🎉❤
We 66 ers know what younger peeps are missing, sad they do not know
It was easier for Jimmy Page to plagiarize music in the days before the internet and social media
But it's always been this way, brother. One artist or band will have talent, and ride it to the top..... then 10,000 talentless hacks and industry plants will follow on their coat-tails just chasing that dollar. If you think it wasn't that way in the 60s, 70s and 80s, you're wearing rose-colored glasses. The reason people think things used to be better, is that 30, 40, or 50 years later we only remember the good ones.
Everyone remembers The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Iron Maiden, but not the hundreds of lesser bands that tried to sound just like those legends. It's the filter of time. Separates the wheat from the chaff. Only difference today is there's more chaff, there's still good wheat in there though.
Agree, so much incredible music!
Same here
If J.R.R. Tolkien was a band it would be Led Zeppelin
🤣🤣🤣
Led Zeppelin 50% sex, 20% hobbits, 20% Vikings, 10% other
If Tolkien is Zeppelin, what band is Robert E Howard?
@@pulsarlights2825
Dio….?
@@johncondon4081 I can live with that, I wasn't even thinking RJD
Why would anyone not want to listen to all types of music, that's just mind-blowing to me! It's one of the luxuries the rich haven't taken away from us yet!
For so many decades, Stairway to Heaven was considered the #1 rock song of all time. I'm blown away that you hadn't heard it before, but it truly is an epic song.
A song continually thought of as a top 10 rock song that includes what is considered a top-10 guitar solo, played by musicians who individually make the top 10 in their respective categories. Doesn't get much better, unless it is a live performance!
I'm not surprised. Remember, white culture wasn't as inclusive in America back then. Black radio played Cool and The Gang and we heard this. I'm proud music has transferred past that divide. Another wall down
@@bryanbradshaw4257 Radio was and still is available to everyone.
I'm blown away that you believe them
Well, there's only 2 sides to a coin and only 1 truth so maybe I niave. Lol. I just took their word for it. Wouldn't be polite for me to really say they lying. Plus doesn't really matter to me if they are. I do stand by what I said in post though. Just way things were.
Fifty years later, gentlemen!
Fifty years! and people are still "WOW!"
The Kennedy Center Honors performance of this song brings Led Zeppelin to tears.
MOST REQUESTED SONG IN FM RADIO HISTORY!
Case Closed.
You had to have grown up in the 70's listening to this to understand the impact it had !!!
YES,YES,YES!
You're absolutely right! This song and Freebird were always the top two songs back then!!
now you know why when rock radio stations have a vote for the top rock songs of all time, this comes in at #1 every year.
I've been listening to multiple rock radio stations in Europe, and mainly UK, for over 40 years, doing their top 100 and top 500 annually. This epic song is always in the top 5, but is not always no.1. It's usually a comp between this and Bohemian Rhapsody and these two often are cited as the best of all time. But also in the top 5 or top 10 other classic epics always feature: Hey Jude, Bat Out Of Hell, Freebird, Riders On The Storm, Hotel California, etc.
We can't say any one of these songs including LZ's and Queen's are THE greatest rock song of all time, all we can say if they are among the greatest. Lucky us!
Maybe in America, or wherever you're from.
I've never heard of it being voted No1 here in the UK.
@@MikePhillips-pl6ov you should stop listening to Capital Radio 💚
@@jeremymerrifield219ha ha no never done that one! Radio Caroline for some decades had the best top 500 around new year. And they played all the long songs in their entirety
No free bird blows it away in American polls always.
The way this song builds is epic. It truly blows my mind that you had never heard it. I’ve heard it at least a million times, and it never ever gets old.
I’m 69 years old . I remember hearing
This masterpiece for the first time , I was in high school. It was epic . Then again we all were accustomed to good music . In those days music wasn’t secular. We listened to and / or knew various genres. I knew country, Motown, the classics and rock . Music rocked , inspired and drove us Baby Boomers. We were educated in culture and music .
They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band.
Beatles ain't got shit on Zeppelin... And I was a fan of the Beatles before Zeppelin even came out!!
I first heard this recording in 1972, in my lonely teenage bedroom. All these years later, it still touches me.
That must have been amazing to experience that in real time. Like WTF is this??????? I got into Zeppelin literally the year Bonzo died when I was 11.
My brother had the album so I would sneak into his room and play it.
I'll be 60 in August. I remember hearing this as a kid for the first time. Seeing someone hearing this for the first time is amazing. Among the best rock songs ever recorded.
Probably the most talented four musicians ever put together in a band! Led Zeppelin was known as the most known band in the world!
thanks
IDK my dude. Dead Milkmen are damn talented. They just don’t take things seriously
Bullshit
@@shaynewest8757 You lack musical education kid
@@rabbyte3824 Unlike you I stated facts, not opinions! Dead Milkmen doesn't even appeal with most people, they're not in the same class as Led Zeppelin
Zep has so many great songs! Kashmir, The ocean, BlackDog, In The Light, The Rain Song, In MyTime of Dying, 10 Years Gone,………
Misty Mountain Hop
"Bon Yar Stomp" is a jug band song. D'yer Maker ('Jamaica' in a Cockney accent) is a reggae song.
The more you listen to it the more you will like it. Thousands of times over 53 yrs and I still love it. Live at MSG in 73 for the real feel.
In the live version, Jimmy Page lead guitarist plays his double neck, 6 & 12 string electric guitar. He had it especially made for this song, so in the middle of playing live, he wouldn’t need to switch guitars. Highly recommend the live version at Madison Square Garden (1973).
Phenomenal!! Love Zep
The Gibson double neck (EDS 1275) came out in 1963. A few years before this.
@@rickb.4168 but he had the one he uses, made for him, to play this song. I know he wasn’t the first to use one, more then likely, the person who made it more well known though.
@@sicotshit7068 but that’s the point of a double necked guitar. That it can be changed mid song.
@@rickb.4168 yes I know, in the studio version, it starts with acoustic then switches to electric. Do you really have that much trouble with reading comprehension. The reactor mentions the acoustic guitar, I’m explaining that in the live, he doesn’t use an acoustic & why.
Dang it..Robert Plant was 23 years old. Clean voice perfect pitch
Starway to Heaven has been ranked in the top 5 rock songs ever made for 50 years. Most of that time is was ranked #1
I think you're ready to hear "When the Levee Breaks" now. It should be played at "11."
They already did When The Levee Breaks about a year ago!
Once you’ve heard it, you never forget it. Led Zeppelin blows everyone away. I remember the first time I heard this on FM radio. I had to buy the album.
For decades you couldnt turn on the radio without hearing this song at some point.
Like an undefeated champion boxer they lull you into a beautiful trance and then hit you with the greatest drop in all of rock history… then you’re❤ knocked out.
According to Robert Plant, the song is about a woman trying to buy her way into heaven with all of the glitter and gold of this life. But ultimately, any song is about what it means to the listener. Whatever it means to you, it is one of the greatest rock ballads ever written. And in my mind, Zepp will always be the greatest rock band ever. "Give me Led till I'm dead!"
Musical genius. Don’t stop your Led Zeppelin journey please, you will not be disappointed.
Nobody is able to figure out the meaning of this song. So I wouldn't waste my time. The way it is meant to be listened to (and the way we did for all songs back in the day when we didn't have the tech to offer explanations or provide lyrics--usually just listening to it on the radio) was to sit back and just listen to it. The few words you might make out start your imagination flowing and you end up creating your own meanings. In doing so, it becomes your personal song. And rarely were people even asked back in the day what they thought about the lyrics. Somehow it maybe just seemed too personal. And frankly, the imagery that I've created around the songs many times is richer than what the lyrics would suggest. I've got a library of these images that pop into my head every time I hear a song I know and love.
Thank you, you have put into words what I've always thought, but could not articulate.
Nonsense, the lyrics were frequently on the album sleeves opposite the liner notes -- we read them, memorized them, studied them, analyzed them. debated them with our siblings and friends.
@@Cosmo-Kramer That's if you had the album. And the lyrics only occasionally were included. Nobody I knew had the money to shell out for many albums to begin with. As I recall they were $10 each. That's a lot of money in the late 1970s for a kid to cough up. We were very selective in the albums we bought. If I had to guess, I would say the average high school senior had fewer than 20 albums that covered over a decade of music. What neighborhood did you live in? Sometimes you would have a friend who had an album and you could listen to it then. But I certainly don't remember debates being held in my high school over the meaning of the lyrics (and I hung out with the nerds).
Easy way to check. Just ask somebody today who grew up in the 70s to recite the lyrics to any given song. And then ask them to discern the band's intended meaning. Good luck. I can't tell you what your experience was, but I don't think it was common.
@@caracoidwren944 Families usually had multiple kids and between those kids spaced 2 to 10 years apart roughly, the cumulative number of rock/pop albums a kid had access to in his home was probably 50 or more. Sometimes much more. You needn't have bought them on your own. But we did buy plenty on our own, albums were around $7, or $12 for the rare double LP, in the '70s, and $7 was nothing. Sounds like you were not only poor, but non-industrious. I had a paper route for years before I got working papers at 14, and then at 14 I got a summer job washing dishes and bussing tables. Not to mention all the money I made cutting lawns, raking leaves, and shoveling snow around the neighborhood. And as for song lyrics on album sleeves, it was quite common. And yes, the lyrics to, *"Stairway To Heaven",* were on the album sleeve. Why you mentioned you were a nerd is odd. I was a jock and my jock friends and I frequently talked about the meanings of our favorite songs, it was a very common and natural thing to do, regardless off whether someone was an athlete or a mathlete (I was both).
@@Cosmo-Kramer This conversation has become obsessive. I'll bow out here but feel free to tell us about your entire life story below.
Page's intent was a slow progression. Keep layering and building up to the crescendo and then bam, then Plant closes with a solo.
Heart honors LZ with this song with an entire room full of VIPs and celebs, strongly recommended as a follow-up. Kennedy Center Honors 2012, pretty impressive.
Immigrant Song is stellar, so no shame, it's my fav!!
It's so hard for me to believe that you've never heard this song. It got such airplay for decades. It's a great song, the most requested song ever.
I recommend that you guys react to Stairway to Gillgan's Island. It's great in a different way.
The MOST requested rock song in FM radio history.
The fact that not one of you basically said a word(besides a hell yeah here and there) throughout this song speaks volumes to your musical knowledge, and also to the beauty of this song
So glad you did not stop to comment. That is really how a review should be done.❤
I remember going to the theater at midnight to watch The Song Remains the Same over and over when I was a teenager. Led Zeppelin was one of my favorite bands.
It indeed sounds strange to hear someone say that they have never heard 'Stairway To Heaven'....now you know what the fuss is about. A legendary song.
One thing I realized growing up is that you don’t “listen” to the music of bands like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, you “experience” it. It’s the kind of music you sit back, close your eyes and just let it take you where it will. Not many others I can apply that to, but definitely those two.
If you’ve not listened to Zeppelins Kashmir, you really should. It’s like a magic carpet ride to me. I’ll have to check your playlists for it.
Agree these clearly are the top 2, Electric Light Orchestra is way underrated im my opinion
@@georgejfunderburk7645 Agreed. Have you heard Kacey Chambers cover of Eminem’s Lose Yourself? If you have, you know why I ask. If you haven’t, you owe it to yourself to check it out. Even if you don’t like rap, or Eminem, seriously a phenomenal cover. She stole the song and made it her own.
@@jeanine6328 Wow thank you for introducing me to Kacey I never heard of her before. I just watched her "LIVE @ Civic Theatre, Newcastle AU" wish I could have witnessed this live. She definitely made it her own, great vocals and the band really "brings it", I see the progression as done in Stairway but quite different from Eminem who like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Queen, Elvis, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, The Bee Gees & many others simply cannot be outdone. With modern tech we get to enjoy ALL OF THEM!
Experience and feel it. Pink Floyd is another that I 'feel ' 😌👌
The Kennedy Center Honors with Heart doing a Tribute performance of Stairway with John Bonhams son playing drums is essential watching. It brought Robert Plant to tear.
I saw Robert Plant with Alison Krauss last year in Taos. He still has the swagger.
After 40 years of loving Zep, it becomes more and more clear to me, that BONZO is like 75% of the "Led Zeppelin Sound".
The drum solo, 🤌.
His son's drumming kicks butt too ❤️
I was born in 1969. I first heard this song in 1974. I remember teenagers laughing at me shaking my head along with the music when I was 5 years old. I have loved Led zeppelin and so many bands that played music during the late 60s to early 70s. I still play this stuff on guitar and bass.
THE greatest rock song of all time!
And I thought it was I WILL FOLLOW HIM
Number 1 song of all time…period. It is heavenly.
Zep put the ANTHEM in "Rock Anthem" with this one. Seems like yesterday when I first heard it, I can still remember it vividly. Fifty years ago... DAYUM!!!
I'll be 60 this year, and I'm guessing by the white in the beards that the two older gentlemen are close to my age. I'm amazed that anyone from that era has never heard this song. I grew up listening to a wide range of music, including rock, soul, funk, classical, etc and later, even Rap. My favorite rock genre growing progressive rock, but hard rock/ metal was a close second. I'm glad you enjoyed this.
They started counting record sales after Zeppelin started there career. It's estimated that they sold well over 300 million albums worldwide.
One of a kind classic masterpiece!! Been a Led fan for 50 years!! It will go down in history along with all 70's music 🎶 And also guys love love 💝 your channel!!
Never gets old …. I first heard this I was 8 years old … still love it at 61 ! Happy you enjoyed it !!
Love your reactions! "Since I've Been Loving You" -- the studio version -- shows off Led Zeppelin's incredible BLUES musicianship as well as Robert Plant's amazing voice. It'll blow you away.
Led Zeppelin - Kashmir - Rock n Roll - All of my Love - Black Dog - Thank You - The Ocean - D'yer Maker - When the Levee Breaks - Going to California......and many many more!
Also check out Robert Plant on his own after Zeppelin - Tall Cool One - 29 Palms - Big Log - Ship of Fools - Heaven Knows - Sea of Love
The G.O.A.T. of rock songs from the G.O.A.T.s of rock.
Back in the day every teenagers favorite school waltz song!
According to lead singer Robert Plant, who wrote the lyrics, the lady in the song is the United States. :)
The Beatles started the concept of the rock song as concerto or symphony, with movements and themes. They released "A Day in the Life" and it blew everyone's minds. Then every big band had to have their answer to it. The Beach Boys had "Good Vibrations", Led Zep had "Stairway", Queen had "Bohemian Rhapsody". It spawned a whole genre of prog rock, where bands started recording longer and longer and more complex songs, until we ended up with albums like Yes's "Relayer", where one entire side was single song. (Queen's second album was like that, too, an enormous opera of opposing forces in a fantasy world, just brilliant stuff.)
Thank you for listening to the English band that wanted to be just a blues band. Please explore their music.
I'd like to sit with Corey and listen to his reactions to the favorites from his collection. Seems like a good guy to chill with.
As great a Blues-Rock band as there were and ever will be. All 4 showed why each were at the top of the game in the late 60s through the 70s.
A magical, must watch!
Robert Plant & Jimmy Page - The Rain Song (live)
Zeppelin, man!! What a great song holds up after all decades. What a great band!. Now you know why we still wear the shirts . Zepathon!
20 years ago Zeppelin released a live album, which was from a couple of shows in 1972.
High School and College students in 2004 thought they had just discovered a new band, and they were totally stoked!
It's incredible that the music is so enduring. ROCK ON! 🤙😎
BTW, the album is called "How the West Was Won", and it totally kicks ass! 🔥🔥🔥
What this guy says is true! 👍
really excited-your first Led Zeppelin reaction is one of my favorites. I have watched it many times. Now you must react to Heart doing Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Led Zeppelin in 2012. Incredible!!! Also, the live version at MSQ is just fantastic.
Led Zeppelin is the King of views for many good reasons.
Best BAND ever, ever!
I love seeing and hearing the reactions of people who have never heard this song before! Thank you!
The sign said “FIRE HAZARD! Because the song is 🔥😃
I would also recommend the live version of this song from 1973 their performance at Madison Square Garden. Jimmy Page's extended guitar solo is so amazing, he plays a double neck electric guitar. I think Ollie might like that live version better. They have so many great songs I would suggest reacting to but a few are: "Heartbreaker", "Black Dog", "Kashmir", "Rock and Roll", "Dazed and Confused" and "Since I've been Loving You" the 1973 live version at Madison Square Garden.
Its like the studio version is missing his SCREAMING aspect of the Live version that is Iconic yes the 73 version..... even at the end of this studio version and it abruptly ended.... I missed that scream of the Live version LOL. Once you see and hear it that is unforgettable.
True! I don't wanna listen if it isn't LIVE! The MSG 73 concerts were THE BEST. They should watch it!
LIVE VERSION FROM MADISON SQUARE GARDEN IN '73..... The song - Black Dog is a good one also.
Simply one of the greatest rock songs ever recorded. Never ever ever gets old.
You need to see the live concert video version. - love grandma ✌️
It's absolutely littered with souns and moments that take me straight back to my childhood and how growing up in the 70's really felt like. Kind of how a smell or a flavour can transport you back in time in a really shocking way. It's not what they were saying, it was the sounds they made.
LZ were always a cross between Delta Blues and English folk music.
Great description. Never thought of it that way.
You need to watch the live version from Madison Square garden. It's so much better!!! Thumbs-up so they can see it.
This is a great song, one of my most favorite. You really need to watch the live version. It's amazing!
Now time for the Heart cover of this. So EPIC and will blow your minds. Watching Led Zepplin get emotional during it and son of Jon Bonham playing drums as a surprise to them. Amazing !,
I was truly blessed back in the day to be able to see them in concert in Oakland, California Coliseum back in the day before John Bodeum died. Awesome concert. Thank you for exploring and expanding your musical mines. It’s appreciated. Please take care and be safe.❤️🫶🏻🤠
Wasn’t that a day on the green? I remember when they came to Oakland, regret not going
It makes me cry every time!!
100% need to watch the Heart tribute from Kennedy Center Honors. Great reaction guys!
Those sisters butchered the song, cutting out a whole verse and nearly a minute of the original song. Disgraceful.
Thank you for playing Zeppelin. Please do another Zeppelin song every 2 weeks or so. Watch the response...
If you like this, you should cover Hearts tribute to Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center show. They killed it. Brought Robert Plant to tears.
The night I got to see Robert Plant and his band open up for The Who in Chicago. Led Zep and The Who on the same bill! It was bliss!
@soniadenison I agree! They did a great job.
Yes; but after Zeppelins live version.
Especially with John's son on the drums.
Yet ANOTHER iconic British band.
Must be something in the water over here.
Yes, there was it was called American Blues !
@@tonyaristide2582 well why didn’t Americans do it then?
@@TheCornishCockney we were busy in Vietnam!
@@tonyaristide2582 good point.
I'm an American but yes, there is something in the water there.
Corey Roy was jammin'! His head-bobbing is exactly what I do every time I listen to Stairway.
Led Zeppelin "No Quarter"..Nuff Said. 🔥❤️🔥
The live version though
@@MJEvermore853 Only AFTER the studio first.
As the song itself notes, “Sometimes words have two meanings.” “Stairway” is a song about the inevitability of death that’s really a song about fear but actually a song about greed… or something… Plant sings "Ooooooo, It makes me wonder".
It's just so sad music 🎵 is not the same at all anymore 😞 and I always say to younger people I feel Soooo Sad for you younger people that will never experience concerts and music from the 70's!! In person that is, but I'm very happy you listen now and keeping the best music ever the 70's!!!! I was in my young and older teens then, and was the best time in my life!! Music keeps your mind and soul alive even at my age now 62!!! Keep jamming and keeping the music 🎵 alive.. Thanks guy's love 💖 your channel...😊
As long as it gets people's attention that's all that matters. 😊❤
Led Zeppelin is such an iconic band, who influenced so many popular bands that came after them. Pure talent and had their drummer not passed away, I can only imagine how much more incredible music they would have brought to us. Thank you for your reactions. There is a killer live version of this song with a great video.
Jimmy's solos at the end are perfect. Every one.
Led Zeppelin ❤
As a huge Zeppelin fan, who heard this when it was released, hearing a fresh reaction is great!
i absolutely recommend their live version of ‘Since I’ve Been Loving You’ Live 1973 at Madison Square Garden - the guitar from jimmy is a masterpiece and the vocals from robert are perfection!!
That's one HELL of a sonic journey!!!!! This never gets old!
This song was not #1 on most rock lists for more than 30 years, for no reason.
I've been sick of this song for years. It's brand new to me! Thanks guys.
I love how jazzy Bonham's drums are and how well they fit this folky, fairy-taley, power ballad.
The MASTERPIECE….The piece d’ resistance’…….
Great music transcends race, colour or creed. It lifts the souls of all who hear it. I watched a blind girl play Chopin on the piano. A sorceress who transported me to the higher realms. I’ve heard Chopin many times but never in the way she played it. Flawless perfection. Gravitas!
When the Levee Breaks, Bring it in Home, The Wanton Song, The Lemon Song, The Rover, Achilles Last Stand, Thank You, …
Loved seeing Corey Roy enjoying this classic!
Probably the best rock song of all time.
Whole lot of love
eveything is felt.
I'm genuinely surprised that none of the three of you have just run across this song accidentally. I'm pretty much the same age as you and this song has just kind of been floating around in the ether my whole life. I don't think I've ever gone out of my way to listen to it, my parents didn't own it, but it just pops up randomly in the world. I thought it was one of those songs that everyone recognized, even if they didn't really know it well.
I whole heartedly agree with you.. ANYONE, no matter age, ethnicity, etc, if you're a music buff how can you have never heard, possibly, the greatest song of ALL TIME??? Something in the same realm as Free Bird or Foreplay/Long TIME for example, just mystified me.... 👍👍👍
@@bryemartin6368 People put their own experiences onto other people. These dudes didn't run in the same circles that you did. If they didn't listen to top 40 back in the day ,or classic rock since, they could have missed it. If you asked me to name one song on today's top 40, i'd whiff completely. I can't name one Drake or Taylor Swift song. Is Drake even a current reference? I don't know. When I'm driving, I'm listening to Sirius XM. 70s, 80s, 90s, new wave, classic vinyl. When i was a kid in the 70s, we had top 40 or country where I lived, so I got Carpenters, Zep, and Gladys Knight and the Spinners. What do today's "urban" kids listen to? Where are they going to hear hard rock?
They have...let's get real. Its part of the act.
@@neilmccomsey9550 Let me guess - you're white?
@@neilmccomsey9550 They admit it when they recognize it. They've done so on many songs. That's why I was surprised that at least one of them didn't say "Oh, it's this song."
Now you need to watch them perform this live in concert.
I'm shocked Stairway came out in 71! This song was played at our high school dances in the early 80s and we knew it was old but not that old. It also served as a litmus test...you would save it to dance with your best girl because it was so long. It was the easy way to know who 'liked' you cus you were to scared to ask. lol
Considered by many as the best song in the history of music
53 years of my favorite song wow! It's rock n roll guys! No folk, no blues, just classic rock
