Agree completely. It's amazing watching Jimmy and JP rocking along, while Robert watches and analyzes. I always wonder what was going through Robert's mind as the back up vocals and choir joined in. A haunting addition akin to his STH montage in the movie. And lastly, that sustained final chord carried by all, was spine tingling. Not many ways to finish off one of the best songs ever recorded, but that was one of them.

Just in case those unfamiliar with Led Zeppelin are unaware, their Drummer sadly passed away some time ago, his son is playing the drums here. His signature hat was a bowler hat, thus the bowler hats in the choir. Very very classy tribute.

Jason Bonham, son of the late John Henry "Bonzo" Bonham, shares a fateful coincidence with another son of another drummer. Ringo Starr's eldest Zak had been recruited by Oasis to be their concert drummer before Liam and Noel had their full-blown split. Zak played with Oasis and was also present with other sons of the Beatles when they eventually did a benefit concert covering their fathers' music. Jason Bonham eventually joined Oasis at some point when Zak had left or I could be confusing my timelines as to who joined Oasis first. Both sons of drummers became truly skilled drummers themselves.

Ok, I agree with part of your statement. But why did they leave part of the song out? Why did they need a massive choir to fill in? Because they can't pull the weight of what zeppelin could do even on a night they felt "off". And having them there doesn't change the fact that they needed to fit into time restraints and live up to media expectations. That's why bands like led zeppelin didn't get signed to contracts in the beginning. Because they were a round peg trying to fit into a square hole. Their songs were to long to fit onto album ("vinyl") sides. Where is that rebellious side of rock and roll anymore? It's not alive in the older guys anymore. I want that back, where is that now? Where is that fire? I seriously hope some newer generations find it, or we'll all be generations lost in space.......

I'm also 62 yrs old. ( male ) No one is a bigger fan of Led Zeppelin than I am. I've been playing ( guitar ) & singing this song ( at the same time ) for over 50 years ( as with most of the Zeppelin catalog, along with hundreds of other songs ). And that includes performing on stage for nearly 20 years. They completely cut out/omitted the most intricate & beautiful part of the guitar intro to this song, and jumped right into the lyrics. I would've much rather seen them perform "the Rain Song", which is FAR MORE difficult to play & perform vs Stairway.

Yes, it was because of Jason. The only drummer who could play "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin correctly was the original drummer, Jon Bonham, who was Jason's father. This song requires control, finesse, and complex drum arrangements. Phil Collins attempted to play it during the Live Aid concert in 1985 to help the band get back on tour, but his performance failed terribly, resulting in the band never playing again. Therefore, for Jon Bonham's son to perform flawlessly in front of the band was an incredible sight to see. It was a true tribute to his father in many ways. Rest in peace, Jon Bonham.

He's great about his time in the band, but it was over before he was 30, and I'm sure it's not an easy place to revisit, nor living with the legend he created, which was largely out of his control at the time also, as well as into eternity.
