DaveO Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Stairway to Heaven, generally acclaimed as one of the great rock and roll songs of all time; a rousing anthem. In this 2012 rendition at the Kennedy Center, we see it performed by Heart. A rousing version. Watch for the Obama's and Yo Yo Ma as they rock out!!!

Al Dente Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yup, STH is overplayed to death right along with Freebird and a bunch of other classics. But it's a classic for a reason-- fuckin' awesome from beginning to end. Cool lyrics, beautiful guitar work, and a final stanza that sends chills down my spine: And as we wind on down the roadOur shadows taller than our soulsThere walks a lady we all knowWho shines white light and wants to showHow everything still turns to goldAnd if you listen very hardThe tune will come to you at lastWhen all are one and one is all, yeahTo be a rock and not to rollOoooooooooooh You can't see Led Zep live anymore (duh), but if you get the chance, go see Robert Plant. I saw him last year at WolfTrap and easily half the show was the old stuff. You could tell how much he enjoys performing, and the Sensational Space Shifters rocked out. It was one of the best live shows I've seen in quite some time. Rock out with your cock out, Al 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Found some other groovy covers! Pat Boone (someone please jab icepicks in my ears) Dolly Parton (actually not half bad) Frank Zappalin Dread Zeppelin (elvisonian reggae) And finally the great Little Roger and the Goosebumps (from the 3-hour tour) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
