I'm 72. Years ago, I told my wife, "when I'm on my deathbed and near the end, put Stairway to Heaven on my headphones and let me go". I meant it then and I mean it today.
When I told her, she was insulted that I wouldn't want to say my goodbyes and express my eternal love for her at the end. I told her, I'll do that before she puts Stairway on! I also have to come up with some memorable final last words. Maybe, I'll say "Led Zep Forever" OR. "The Stairway is Calling Me"
I was 16 and sitting with a friend who was playing this on his guitar when he said, "I want this song played at my funeral". A month later he died using inhalants. I couldn't listen to this song there after. I'm 63 now and just stumbled across this on You Tube. I've watched it 6 times in a row now. I'm crying, for several reasons, I can't explain it. I'm just glad I found it and am okay with leaving the ON SWITCH on.
Man I feel you and I'm 34. My Girlfriend, and my future wife died in a car accident when I was 27. I get the same way with music from our generation. May God bless your friends soul.
My mum is passed away today. Her stairway to heaven is open now. Mum Have you the new life with my dad and all the family in the sign of the music you loved : rock and roll and other.
This performance will be 50 years old this July and still nothing beats it. The pinnacle of rock and roll. The Mighty Led Zeppelin. Eternal now and forever.

@@exoplanet11 it seems like yesterday, Chris. I remember that was the first concert I ever saw a mirror ball used. They lit it up during "Stairway to Heaven" everyone went crazy!
I was 15 when I had the pleasure to see them in concert....total audience silence when Stairway was performed. 50 years later and this is still my favorite song...long live Led Zeppelin!
I live close to Rob in Worcestershire with the same DY12 postcode. Best song ever by the best band,. At 18 I dreamt I would marry Jimmy. I also love the battle of evermore with the late Sandy Denny. Awesome group that knocks every other band out the park
Me too..I saw everyone! Growing up in New York in the late 60’s and 70’s I was fortunate enough to see ALL the gods of music. Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Janis Joplin, JIMI HENDRIX, Rod Stewart (when he was actually good) The Rolling Stones, Queen, PINK FLOYD, Yes, The WHO, Aerosmith, The Allman Brothers, The Doors, Crosby Stills Nash and Young , Neil Young ( on his own), Jethro Tull, King Crimson, and more I can’t recall right now - and oh yes, I WAS AT WOODSTOCK. Hitchhiked there. WHAT AN AMAZING TIME TO BE ALIVE. I feel sorry for todays youth
Played it at my dad’s funeral today.. weird how this song and guitar solo comforted me through some tough moments and made me feel very calm inside.. this song gained new meaning today for me! Enjoy life everyone!
Im sorry for your loss, I played it at my mom’s funeral last year June , she was 2 months away of being 70. She introduced me to this band when I was a kiddo. Still the best rock group ever. She was a hippie in the 70s , loved life, cared 1000% for my brother and me . Good and bad times she was always there. Supporting and understanding even when life situations didn’t made sense. I would go steal bill gates all his money if this would just make me able to just have a phone call with her. Keep it strong man. The music helps grieving. Have a good day wherever you are in the world.
I'm 61 And I Saw Them In Concert Live At The Madison Garden!!!! And I Have The Ticket Stub!!!! Imagine Being 12 Years Old And This Is The 1st Concert I Saw!!!! :-)
If you ever feel sad, just think that Earth is million years old and somehow you managed to live in a period where you can listen to this masterpiece every time you want.
Earth is not millions of years old. In fact earth is about 7000 years old. That’s a fact. The age of the earth according to science was determined by using carbon dating as well as layering in soil as well as assumptions on the creation and time needed to fossilise certain things like for example oil or the “creation” of diamonds. Carbon dating is inherently flawed because in order for it to work you need certain conditions that cannot change. As science has no way of knowing what the atmosphere was like even 200 years ago, the decay of neutrons is immeasurable in the same way. Anyway, done get lied to!
@@AK-dw8jo and we can make some judgements on earths atmosphere due to fossils, and general knowledge of how the earth formed of up to 2million years ago
Fifty years ago today (8th November 1971) Stairway to Heaven was released and 50-years on, it remains still one of the greatest rock songs ever released. Here's to Led Zeppelin on this special day
My father passed away three days ago, it was the first song he saw me playing when I was kid, today I'm playing this song in front of our old house and hoping that his soul is here with me listening too.
I hadn't caught up with Zep, yet, unfortunately, or I coulda been there. A HS friend finally played "Whole Lotta Love" for me in '77, when most of my musical mind was on sex, drugs, and dancing at Studio 54 to Donna Summer between sitting inside the massive woofers on the dance floor in the days of cocaine and quaaludes, seriously in love with dance expression, and, being 16, newly 6'2", and not bad looking, having a ton of fun (and a WHOLE lotta love :) ), but not exactly the right place to hear Zep. ;) :D
Howard Stern was there. Back when Metallica did S&M at MSG he said that that was the best show he had ever seen second only to this one in ‘73. I was at S&M. Unfortunately they’d have to create a time machine for me to go back in time to see this.
I am only 16 years old but despite the hindrance of generations, I can still admire their music. I listen to Led Zeppelin every week for about 2 hours and it fills me with happiness and hope.
C 15 лет эта композиция стояла на звонке телефона. Мой отец всегда прививал мне вкус к музыке. Он умер в 2012 году. Но его наследие, его наставления остались до сих пор. Сейчас мне 32 года. И я очень горда, что я выросла с правильным вкусом к музыке. У меня есть книги о Led Zeppelin, книги о той эпохе. Спасибо, что я отличаюсь от всех. Спасибо музыкантам за то волшебство, что вы творили. За этот драйв, за бессмертную музыку, которая осталась на века. Храни вас Бог!

the way hes playing it and looking at it seems different than so many others. like hes trying to just barely control a massive beast and just guiding it and not leading it, like the guitar is playing him
My son passed in 2013 from cancer at 32 years old played this at his memorial service. This past weekend my daughter gave me a beautiful gift of the words to this song done on wood shaped like a electric guitar! Priceless
Sad to hear you son's untimely death its a great memory to have a song like this at your son's final journey. Not too people can remember what Hymns or Songs where played at the close relatives final journal but that song is a nice memory especially when you play it
I think it's one of the two best solos of all time but he has better performances than this, he looks coked out of his fucking mind lol and it's so out of time for parts
Page cheats though, he overdubbed every performance he ever on this did to remove the sloppy notes, watch him solo and it’s not even the same part of the neck as the sound the guitar is making
@@christopherchuauhang4829 Highly doubt there was any studio correction (in terms of autotune, or pitch-correction - not things like equalization, etc., which of course they did), and everything looks perfectly in sync (so in terms of potential overdubs).
Solo? What solo? You mean the instrumental part. "If you listen very hard", this is a brilliant symbiosis of guitar, drums, bass and keyboard. Without wanting to devalue Jimmy's performance, but only all together created these unforgettable 3 minutes.
@@udooffermann9783 the iconic guitar solo at 6:40 that is one of the if not the best parts of the song. though the drums and bass accompany it its definitely the solo that the commenter and many people appreciate
dude, clearly the intention and result was a guitar solo...expected by the audience because thats the way the band performed this song...plus it is easily recognized as a solo by the ear...so stop pretending you have a point@@udooffermann9783
I was wondering what it was that caused this partiicular song to stand out as possibly the greatest song of the modern era- I think your comment answered that for me.
I suggest listening to White Queen live Hammersmith Odeon 1975 the instrumental section is one of the most emotional and amazing guitar/piano solos I've ever heard
My dad died last October. I watched this show so many times in the week leading up to his death. We used to watch this on an old VHS he had, growing up I always liked this song the best. I guess it’s their most popular. Every time I rewatch this I takes me back to the last day i got to see him alive. My dad was my best friend and he loved Led Zeppelin, and thanks to them he’s still alive in a way.

My father is a classical music lover. He is 88 years old. I have 600 CDs at home. This is the only song he likes in my entire collection. Who is stupid enough not to like that song.
@@EllisAnimalDefender it's kinda sloppy solo, people who don't play guitar never understand and when they hear solo they automatically think it's perfect
@@moi-ev3pi I completely understand the “sloppiness” if this where a classical music recital he would definitely get some points off for not staying true to the original, but this is rock and roll, if you wanna hear perfect and neat listen to the studio version, you call it sloppiness I call it improvisation, and it’s truly is improv he comes up with these licks on spot every time they are unique, I’d rather listen to a his playing style than a person playing not per note, he plays with amazing dynamics, if it where sloppy then there would be 5,000 jimmy pages in the world but it’s not, there’s only one jimmy page
Back in July 1980 my friend Barry said he wants this song played at his funeral. August 12th we were in a bad car accident... be died at only 17 yrs old. I couldn't play this at his funeral, that bothers me still. So Barry . . . . This is for you man.. Sorry its 44 years late, Rest in Peace
First I'm so sorry for your loss. Going to his funeral must of been the hardest day. I probably wouldn't had played it either. I bet the sadness look over. But please don't blame yourself. You did what you could do on that day. Forgive yourself. I know your friend does in heaven.
I’m a 24 year old who is lucky to have had parents who grew up with this music and passed the love to me. Zeppelin will live on for generations and will never be forgotten! ❤️
I cannot count how many times I come back to this video just to listen to Jimmy's solo at 5:55. A masterpiece that will live forever as one of the greatest guitar solos ever composed.
@@rv6205 *_"better question is why arent songs made like this any more"_* No one would ever sign a band like Zeppelin today, much less let them make four albums. People like crappy music now. {:-:-:}
@@anthonydixon452 I remember telling my mom and grandparents I didn’t want to go to the 2007 show, and that will forever be the biggest L I will ever take😔
Those who talk about Page's guitar and solo are right, they are incredible. But imagine this song without Plant's voice! Impossible! The voice creates the mystique, it is unique
The only vocal performance that ever did this song justice other than Robert Plant himself was Ann Wilson at the award ceremony for Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center 2012
@crixus2871 that’s why God created opinions. Of course Robert is king having written the lyrics and sang the original. Nothing can ever beat the original. I don’t care if someone plays Eddie Van Halen‘s eruption than him. Still second place at best… but Ann at Kennedy is a hell of a second place. Says enough to me that I’ve listened to it about 200 times already and come to think of it haven’t listen to original stairway more than twice in that time. Of course, I’m catching up with the 25,000 times I’ve listened to the original stairway, but nevertheless. Ann definitely comes pretty damn close especially in context of the overall experience of living Led watching her, all the layers that are added in sequence from strings to microphone choir to horns to full force army choir - all with Bonham’s bowler cap on, come on man.
@@DrTomMD the whole performance is great but well tbh Ann is no where near Robert though... I agreed that she's the best female cover. But she's like 1 on the scale when compared to Robert 100.
When the world is falling apart, there's Led Zeppelin reminding us that art and beauty still exist. I'll be here in the 70's rockin' out when catastrophe hits.
My Dad was a massive music fan and we grew up listening to all the great bands coming out of the UK and USA and in his final weeks we played literally every song we could think of for him to listen to. One morning we all remembered we haven't played him Stairway to Heaven and just as Robert Plant sings the first line, Dad draws his final breath. Almost like he had waited for us to play it.
@@ultimatesin3544 You can say the same exact thing about rap though. When was the last time you saw an ugly woman in a rapper's music video? They've all got big asses and tits so big you can feel their gravity. However, I agree that people are more willing to get outraged at white people for doing the exact same things that black people do. I think the problem is that young kids aren't really inspired to play instruments anymore, as the majority of popular music nowadays is either electronic or just singing to a shitty tune. That, and the fact that record labels are more hesitant to sign instrumentalists nowadays. They prefer to play it safe.
I was fortunate enough to see them live the night of April 12, 1977 in Bloomington MN. They were extremely late getting in that evening from Chicago due to weather and the crowd was getting restless. No warm up band of course and they played a full 3 hour set. Just an amazing point in time to be alive.
😮Wow very good like você viu ao vivo essa maravilha, cara meu sonho ver Jimmy Page solando essa guitarra monstra de dois braços e John Bonham dando esse espetáculo com uma bateria simples wow very good!
Saw them in the iconic MSG a few years after this was filmed in MSG. I was too young to appreciate the experience, but I enjoyed the music nonetheless!
Monday 22 February 1988, played this song as we buried my brother. I discovered Led Zeppelin at the age of 13 when I 'inherited' my brothers cassettes, the day he died. Playing them, we discovered Stairway to Heaven. RIP Patrick John Grant
Brigette Hohepa I hope you went out and got the vinyl right away after hearing it, cassettes didn't do any music justice, just a scam to make more money by record companies, can produce 100 cassettes for ...price of one lp, cheap cheap cheap
He has the name of Jimmy Page (James Patrick Page), John Paul Jones and John Bonham, and Peter Grant (their manager). Amazing and may he rock in peace.
My brother died last week and we had this song playing at his funeral he asked for it before he pased, it will always remind me of him he was only 56 ❤
While teaching online during Covid I remember playing this on a constant loop for hours and hours... Kept me sane while sat there, ploughing painfully though exam marking and writing student reports ...Thank you Led Zeppelin 🙏 🙏 🙏
My absolute favorite version. The extras Robert throws in are gems and I love Jimmy’s face when he plays. This song is magic. The forests will echo with laughter ... that’s us, folks💜
Agreed, this version is so pure. Love the extras, love Jimmy's face, love this performance and the fact that they could stay focused enough to play is a testament to their pure talent!
@@temanah6571 He hadn't slept for five days, or something like that. That they could perform with so much energy and passion even when strung out on so much drugs and so little sleep is just incredible. This is also my favorite version of Stairway, by a long shot!
Could you imagine being at this show? Those people in the audience probably didn't even realize they were witnessing a masterpiece that would live on for decades
Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven", played backwards sounds VERY CLEARLY as "Oh... here's to my sweet S@t@n...the one whose little path will make me sad...whose power is s@t@n...he'll give you... give you 666" I can tell you where to find the video of it being played backwards, ask
LYRICS There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to Heaven When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to Heaven There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, makes me wonder There's a feeling I get when I look to the West And my spirit is crying for leaving In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees And the voices of those who stand looking Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, really makes me wonder And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter Oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now It's just a spring clean for the May queen Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on And it makes me wonder Ohh, whoa Your head is humming, and it won't go, in case you don't know The piper's calling you to join him Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind? And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last When all are one, and one is all To be a rock and not to roll And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
I suppose it’s rather simple, really? Having a deeper understanding of life before it’s your time, before most of us “get it”. However, that’s nothing more than an opinion, and like assholes, we all have opinions. 😉
Disagree. It’s obviously off tempo if you have half an ear to hear. Rob tries to make it work in the beginning but it definitely takes a while for it to come together. The definitive version is definitely the studio recording.
@@samislegend89Thank you! Live versions have their charm, and rarely they are the definitive version, but this is not one of those cases. Bob Seger and The Who are the kings of “live is the definitive version” in my opinion.
Robert Plant's voice is like the striking light from Zeus. Jesus. Page is a magical Sorcerer on the guitar. While Bonham is The Hulk on the drums. Jones is a Beast on the bass and keyboard. I'm so grateful for this band.
My bay . My daughter told me - because she knows this is my favorite song of all time - that when I'm gone - she will get a tattoo on her heart " Stairway to heaven " just for me . I can now die a happy man :)

Wow, guess I might have missed something :D@@reillymoore3257

Idk someone was just saying that about the Eagles
If you ever feel sad, just think that Earth is million years old and somehow you managed to live in a period where you can listen to this masterpiece every time you want.
Поддерживаю друже.
Earth is not millions of years old. In fact earth is about 7000 years old. That’s a fact. The age of the earth according to science was determined by using carbon dating as well as layering in soil as well as assumptions on the creation and time needed to fossilise certain things like for example oil or the “creation” of diamonds. Carbon dating is inherently flawed because in order for it to work you need certain conditions that cannot change. As science has no way of knowing what the atmosphere was like even 200 years ago, the decay of neutrons is immeasurable in the same way. Anyway, done get lied to!

Well obviously
Fifty years ago today (8th November 1971) Stairway to Heaven was released and 50-years on, it remains still one of the greatest rock songs ever released. Here's to Led Zeppelin on this special day
It's only a tad older than me(4-20-72).
How beautiful
I was just thinking about this… I remember when I used to think Zeppelin was a band from 30 years ago… Now it’s 50 already…
Yeeee HHHAAAAA
Mozart's "Kleine Nachtmusik" was completed 234 (!) Years ago and the song is still known today. It will be the same with "Stairway to Heaven".
Jimmy looks like he goes into another world when he is playing that solo.
Yeah, he is too high for this world 😂
trust me he’s already in that world🤣🤣
He certainly was not on this planet...
He wrote the lyrics... Maybe it's a personal message?
Sorry, I was talking about Robert Plant... Jimmy and him made a masterpiece... They transport us in their sublime interpretation...
My father passed away three days ago, it was the first song he saw me playing when I was kid, today I'm playing this song in front of our old house and hoping that his soul is here with me listening too.
The people at this concert were the luckiest in the world.
I hadn't caught up with Zep, yet, unfortunately, or I coulda been there. A HS friend finally played "Whole Lotta Love" for me in '77, when most of my musical mind was on sex, drugs, and dancing at Studio 54 to Donna Summer between sitting inside the massive woofers on the dance floor in the days of cocaine and quaaludes, seriously in love with dance expression, and, being 16, newly 6'2", and not bad looking, having a ton of fun (and a WHOLE lotta love :) ), but not exactly the right place to hear Zep. ;) :D
im sooooo jealous
that lucky?
No faltó quien fue obligado jeje
Howard Stern was there. Back when Metallica did S&M at MSG he said that that was the best show he had ever seen second only to this one in ‘73.
I was at S&M. Unfortunately they’d have to create a time machine for me to go back in time to see this.

Solo? What solo? You mean the instrumental part. "If you listen very hard", this is a brilliant symbiosis of guitar, drums, bass and keyboard. Without wanting to devalue Jimmy's performance, but only all together created these unforgettable 3 minutes.

That Jimmy Page guitar solo might actually be the coolest thing any human has ever done

Those who talk about Page's guitar and solo are right, they are incredible. But imagine this song without Plant's voice! Impossible! The voice creates the mystique, it is unique
The only vocal performance that ever did this song justice other than Robert Plant himself was Ann Wilson at the award ceremony for Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center 2012
@crixus2871 that’s why God created opinions. Of course Robert is king having written the lyrics and sang the original. Nothing can ever beat the original. I don’t care if someone plays Eddie Van Halen‘s eruption than him. Still second place at best… but Ann at Kennedy is a hell of a second place. Says enough to me that I’ve listened to it about 200 times already and come to think of it haven’t listen to original stairway more than twice in that time. Of course, I’m catching up with the 25,000 times I’ve listened to the original stairway, but nevertheless. Ann definitely comes pretty damn close especially in context of the overall experience of living Led watching her, all the layers that are added in sequence from strings to microphone choir to horns to full force army choir - all with Bonham’s bowler cap on, come on man.
@@DrTomMD this performance was the only time that robert plant sang it perfectly, and he was the only one who could take it to this level
@@DrTomMD the whole performance is great but well tbh Ann is no where near Robert though... I agreed that she's the best female cover. But she's like 1 on the scale when compared to Robert 100.

@@ultimatesin3544 You can say the same exact thing about rap though. When was the last time you saw an ugly woman in a rapper's music video? They've all got big asses and tits so big you can feel their gravity. However, I agree that people are more willing to get outraged at white people for doing the exact same things that black people do. I think the problem is that young kids aren't really inspired to play instruments anymore, as the majority of popular music nowadays is either electronic or just singing to a shitty tune. That, and the fact that record labels are more hesitant to sign instrumentalists nowadays. They prefer to play it safe.
Over-Saturation. Every genre that gets popular suffers from this.
I was fortunate enough to see them live the night of April 12, 1977 in Bloomington MN. They were extremely late getting in that evening from Chicago due to weather and the crowd was getting restless. No warm up band of course and they played a full 3 hour set. Just an amazing point in time to be alive.

Still one of the greatest songs ever. In 2024
Amen
that's for sure
or always...
Absolutely
@@kevinmcdonnell1193yes, ALWAYS!
LYRICS
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to Heaven
There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get when I look to the West
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, really makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
Oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder
Ohh, whoa
Your head is humming, and it won't go, in case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one, and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
Plant and Page were 22 and 26 years old respectively when they wrote this.
Let that sink in for a moment.
thats fucking crazy. I also cannot figure out how Axl Rose wrote November Rain, with virtually no education. It's a gift
I suppose it’s rather simple, really? Having a deeper understanding of life before it’s your time, before most of us “get it”. However, that’s nothing more than an opinion, and like assholes, we all have opinions. 😉
Goodamn you make me feel like garbage 😁
Well Jimmy Page fucked a 14 year old when he was in his 20s as well so swings and roundabouts I guess
Lachlan Jansen Alright, so stairway to heaven is average
Holy shit you're stupid
This is THE definitive version of Stairway. Absolutely flawless.
Disagree. It’s obviously off tempo if you have half an ear to hear. Rob tries to make it work in the beginning but it definitely takes a while for it to come together. The definitive version is definitely the studio recording.
Actually the Earls Court performance in 1975 is perfect. It's super tight.
@@samislegend89Thank you! Live versions have their charm, and rarely they are the definitive version, but this is not one of those cases. Bob Seger and The Who are the kings of “live is the definitive version” in my opinion.
@@samislegend89 Thank you. Finally someone says it. This is off tempo and it sounds like they have no idea what they're doing.
@@jskypercussionwhere is this? Maddison sq garden?
Robert Plant's voice is like the striking light from Zeus. Jesus. Page is a magical Sorcerer on the guitar. While Bonham is The Hulk on the drums. Jones is a Beast on the bass and keyboard. I'm so grateful for this band.
Sabbath was my band to go with after starting out with Zeppelin.
But without a doubt, Zeppelin was the most talented band ever assembled, by far.
Yes. Where is this magic now? Simon Cowell just doesn't know what X Factor means.
For where two or three gather together in my name the piper is their in the midst of them.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Makes me WONDER!😁🎶🎶🎶🕊🕊❤❤🌎🌎🖖
You sound demonically possessed.
You can listen to Stairway to Heaven a million times,it remains a unique,inimitable,wonderful song,until my end.
Totally agree legend
Melhor música
It has to be this version LIVE!
My late Wife loved them, period, no other band.. sail on (Nancy). Lol.
@@williampayne5584 Dear William. I'm Sorry for tour wife, She Is definitly in Heaven. A hug from Italy.
What a privilege to still listen to this legendary song after 52 years. A half century and no song will beat this one even for a millennium
It can never be beat
Agree
it took 4 years for kashmir to beat it...
It’s certainly up there… Pink Floyds Comfortably Numb would equal it!
@@rwags6848 no
“All the stores are closed”
Never been more true lyrics
Hahahha
Yeah but those were simpler times. Today everything is chaos.
I think Turner may have just topped that: “No one’s on the streets, We moved it online as of March
Sonzera...do meu tempo...uma das maravilhas da humanidade....
The correct lyric: If the stores are all closed,
The best live version of stairway to heaven.
They play as if this is the last day in the history of mankind.
really man. they are as if celebrating the last day of mankind.
This comment is beautiful
Right now I play this mix for my mother, as it is that I had earlier this morning, again realized with joyous revival, the fact that it is the end.
My bay . My daughter told me - because she knows this is my favorite song of all time - that when I'm gone - she will get a tattoo on her heart " Stairway to heaven " just for me . I can now die a happy man :)
My baby girl I meant....
