[@JackWareingFilms]

[@danielsgirl0nLy]

This song was never performed live because the group didn't think the sound came off well. The piano was quite necessary in the song, but with John Paul Jones on piano there could be no bass, and the bass is very important in this one. There is also a twelve-string line at one point in the song and the guitar solo that has to be pulled off. The middle section was another issue.

[@roxxanedtroyt1744]

+Stephanie Broadwater robert plant plated it live with pearl jam for katrina benefit.

[@kylebrown7531]

+Stephanie Broadwater That's really interesting. But I'd think finding a bass and twelve string musicians would be fairly easy. Jimi Hendrix, for example, had Dave Mason play twelve string for All Along the Watchtower. But then again that was studio. Hendrix performed this song live without Mason. Hendrix was a force of nature, to quote Jack Bruce. Thanks for your information.

[@kevin4324]

I’m fairly sure that to play LZ songs you need every instrument twice to get it right if you’re not the originals... evolving/changing tact, speed... not to mention the solos etc

3:44 His best studio lead of all time, IMO. From the offbeat, unexpected moment he starts it off to the melodic way he wonderfully fits in rapid fire and beautifully pieced together notes into Jones's rhythmic piano playing and Bonham's samba style drumming; then ends it at just the perfect moment - a brilliantly arranged (and produced) song by James Patrick Page.

[@markjtapply]

Not to mention the use of an early octave multiplier effect. Page got all the coolest effects before almost anyone else.

You hit the nail on the head. They played off each other and had a chemistry unmatched by any other band. That's why when Bonham passed away, they decided to simply quit cause they "could not continue as we were." Not only was he the best drummer alive, he could never be replaced because of that chemistry they all had with each other.

The group may not believe it, but this song musically, socially, real world should be a song that is looked to over stairway to heaven. Musically it's a fun, but complicated masterpiece. Plants lyrics paint a picture that everyone deals with with emotions of hope and loss in a relationship. It just sounds fresh everytime I listen. The drums get all the credit, but Jones and page are at their best. There's alot always going on with this track. Most importantly it just sounds wonderful and it works incredibly well. It was a look at what zeppelin may have been for the future. It's a little pop but is definitely led zeppelin. Page and plant should talk about this song more vs why plant hates stairway and page will put out another solo lp. Which I don't think he can play anymore due to age which he'll never admit.
