The arrangement was superb and it took Zeppelin trio by surprise. At one stage you could notice Robert Plant was visibly moved by the whole set up.
Fucking great song it is !

Led Zepplin, FREE, Deep Purple, Bad company, Humble Pie...I wonder if Heart will ever record " Stairway to heaven:..I would certainly buy that single, if they follow the same arrangement they did on stage.

If not mistaken, the big sized drummer who performed live together with Heart on this Stairway to Heaven cover, is the son of the late Led Zep drummer..

Yes, Jason Bonham, son of John Bonham.
Strange, Keith Moon, The Who's drummer, also died rather young.

I don't think they cut the album on Stairway...stage performances and unreleased demos maybe.
If the one they did at the White House is made into disc, I will definitely go for it.

They have all migrated to US, the land of opportunity.

Read Led Zep autobiography when I was a student.. They were a really colourful outfit when young, lived a typical rock star lifestyle.. Booze, birds. drugs.. John Bonham choked on his own vomit that caused his death..:(

I remember reading of Metallica band members saying that their main musical influence when young was Black Sabbath.. Another legendary British rockers..
