FIRST TIME HEARING 'Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven (LIVE AT EARLS COURT 1975)' | GENUINE REACTION

[@jacobhgjensen2888]

This is one of the most iconic songs ever made.. frontman Robert Plant is an amazing performer. 1975!! No autotune, no crazy production techniques no bullshit.. guitarist Jimmy Page is an nutcracking performer. This double neck guitar is awesome and is so difficult to play due to its size. The solo is a chapter for it self. Pure improvisation every time it’s played. Page could improvise his solo for several hours if not stopped.. this is amazing.

[@Pahdopony]

No worries about pausing, we have heard this before. For those who are upset, they can go listen to the entire song without a reaction. The rest of us are here for a reaction to the music we love.

[@jasonregister3494]

As far as background goes, I can tell you that the drummer is John Bonham…. He passed away very young….. his child then took over drumming for the band….

[@williamcabell142]

The drummer is only the greatest blues/rock drummer ever!

[@Soniccee]

also Robert Plant is best vocalist ever so..

Neal Peart may disagree and so do I.

@@MBGolferrolling stone has Bonham ranked higher than Neil. Seen them both live. Both great. And Neil can’t talk now. So who cares

Although I never saw Led Zeppelin Live, I did see Jefferson Airplane and Starship, Turtles, BTO, America, Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Frank Zappa, Skynyrd twice in 12 months, and many many more. Keep listening, kid.. there is a lot to go

There were 20 million tickets requests for 9,000 seats at the O2 arena. It'll blow your mind how good they sounded 30 years later (without drummer John Bonham, who had passed on, but his son Jason in his place). Great reaction!

Enjoy it however. You do you 👊🏻🫡

[@LoriLynch-bt8tj]

Stairway to Heaven is considered not just the best ROCK song ever written but it might be the best song EVER written...period. There were people in the 70's, mostly parents, that thought the band had sold their souls to the devil in return for being given this masterpiece (seriously!!). There were radio stations and record stores that refused to play or sell that song/album because they they didn't want their children to listen to it because they thought something bad might happen to them because they thought the song was cursed by the devil. Mainly southern states (highly religious region of America). I loved it when it came out, but I still think "Kashmir" is their best song.

I won't argue again the overall greatness of the band and Jimmy Page (that would just be crazy talk), but I must be honest and say that I haven't seen/heard a single live performance where I felt that Robert Plant did a decent job. Even when he sound's fine, he doesn't replicate the coolest moments of the studio versions. I'm all for embellishments and ad libs but only on top of the studio version's moments.

This was absolutely the best choice for a first Led Zep song to listen to.
