Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven*DayOne Reacts*

[@daviddixon6408]

The guitarist is Jimmy Page, one of the greatest of all time. Lead singer is Robert Plant, John Paul Jones bass and keyboards and John Bonham drums. LZ is the greatest rock & roll band of all time hands down. This video was done at Madison Square Garden in 1973.

[@matthawkins8880]

Rolling Stones and the Beatles were pretty good rock & roll bands also.

[@kel5423]

Led Zeppelin is legendary for sure, but Rush is glorious and mythic. ;)

[@tacticapropiedades8298]

The Who is legendary band...!!

[@Wungolioth]

It's funny you did Led Zeppelin and Heart on the same night, because you should check out Heart covering Stairway to Heaven just a few years back when Led Zeppelin were being honored at the Kennedy Center, the surviving members were there, and so were the Obamas, and John Bonham, the late drummer, his son Jason is drumming. It's an amazing performance.

[@1nelsondj]

Agreed, Page was wiping tears away when they were done.

[@marcelmarceau2526]

The guitarist is Mr James ‘Jimmy’ Patrick Page and he’s widely considered to be one of the greatest guitarist to ever walk the Earth.

[@jonlate4581]

The double guitar, in basic terms, is a 6 string and a 12 string. A 12 string gives a nice choral sound because you're playing 2 strings at once. Jimmy Page started using the double neck for Stairwy To Heaven because it was practical. The guitar wasn't used on the song, it was purchased after the fact to help recreate the song live.

[@chaoticneutral3487]

The guitar that Jimmy Page is playing there is called a Gibson EDS-1275 double neck. 12 strings on the top neck, 6 strings on the bottom neck. It's an iconic guitar.

[@henriettaskolnick4445]

Guitarist Jimmy Page formed Led Zeppelin and produced all their albums. One of Jimmy's quotes is "I can communicate far better on a guitar than I can through my mouth." If you want a Zeppelin performance that is all about the guitar, you absolutely must react to Dazed and Confused performed at Madison Square Garden. It is 28 minutes long and is more like an entire concert in one song.

[@CliffinAZ]

The Royal Albert Hall version from 1970 is awesome too-and Robert Plant’s voice sounds great in that version. He’d sustained vocal chord damage and really lost a substantial amount of his range and power by ‘73. Plant was an absolute beast vocally up through 1971 though…

[@tim196868]

And since I've been loving you is another one

[@chrisacer6605]

If you like the band Heart with Ann and Nancy Wilson you really should check out their cover of this song. They were asked to do it for a Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Led Zeppelin, and they performed it in front of Led Zeppelin themselves, President Obama, and a ton of celebrities who are in the audience. Ann's voice is maganificent and the video of it went viral right after it aired in 2015 or sometime around then. Led Zeppelin actually gave Heart their blessing to cover anything in their catalog after that performance, and they actually gave the Wilsons a standing ovation. It's one of the only Led Zeppelin covers that diehard Zeppelin fans (myself included) have blessed. Normally we feel like the Zep catalog is untouchable, but over the years Heart has earned the street cred to sing whatever they want. Anyway, give it a check if you ike Heart.

[@keimahane]

That is one incredible performance, very powerful and touching to watch Ann give her all in tribute.

Led Zeppelin has shown, once more, why they are the greatest rock band to walk the earth. Jimmy Page on guitar, John Paul Jones on keyboards, Jon Bonham on drums and Robert Plant on vocals. Page formed Led Zeppelin, Jones arranged much of their music which Page also produced.

[@joecalderon7410]

Jimmy is playing the Gibson EDS 1275. In the studio version of the song he used a 12 string acoustic, a 6 string acoustic, and a 6 string electric...all overdubs in the studio. For live performances the double neck 1275 was needed to avoid having to switch guitars on stage.

[@rickjohnson3580]

It's always good to watch somebody reacting to Led Zeppelin for the first time. Here are a couple more songs that I think you would like to react to from Led Zeppelin. "The Song Remains the Same/The Rain Song". "Since I've been Loving You" both from 1973 live at Madison Square Garden. Then "In my Time of Dying" 1975 live at Earls Court. There are no bad Led Zeppelin songs only timeless masterpieces.

The best Rock Song done by the best Rock Band.. ♠W.G.

[@34hedgehog]

The guitar is an EDS-1275 Gibson Doubleneck 6/12 string. If you liked the song, you should check out Heart's amazing cover version, from the Kennedy Centre tribute to Led Zeppelin. It's the most extraordinary, and best, cover I've ever heard. If you're watching it, and you notice that the choir at the end are all wearing bowler hats, it's because John Bonham, the original Led Zeppelin drummer, who died in 1980, used to wear one on stage. And the drummer in the tribute band is Jason Bonham, John Bonham's son, who does an incredible job.

[@SevenThunderful]

Yes the Zeppelin rabbit hole is deep indeed. My favorite of theirs is off their magnus opus, physical graffiti, Ten Years Gone. Other great songs off of that are the Rover, In My time of Dying, In the Light and Night Flight.

[@luvbasses5487]

Jim’s guitar here was made by the Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, Mi. It’s simply named the Gibson EDS-1275 Double Neck Guitar. Top neck is 12 string while the bottom one is standard 6 string. It allowed Jimmy to take Stairway to the stage. Another highly famed guitarist used one before Jimmy is John McGlaughlin. John Paul Jones is playing Mellotron keyboard (an 8 second tape loop device) here…and switches over halfway to the Fender Rhodes Synthesized Piano. It gives the song a dreamy feeling and John is just wonderful on it! What you’re watching here my dear…is the finest Rock band the world will ever know. Zeppelin brought forth the world heavyweight champion of Rock drums too. John Bonham.

The lead singer is Robert Plant, and he is still singing and actively touring today, at age 73. Presently touring with Allison Krause (another phenomenal singing voice) supporting their 2'nd duet album Raising the Roof. The guitarist is Jimmie Page. He has had some interesting opinions regarding this song throughout the years. Interesting story about Stairway to Heaven, Jimmie Page first worked out the guitar part of this song and played it for the band to get their opinion. Robert Plant immediately took a pen and paper and went to sit on the floor in the corner of the room and penned the lyrics in about 20 minutes.

Clime into this rabbit hole of Zeppelin and you'll never want to come out of it! Love seeing younger people view the music I grew up with. Nothing has or will surpass the music of the 70's.

[@i_needausername7201]

The guitar player is Jimmy Page. Between him, Hendrix, and Clapton, they were the biggest guitar influences of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. He’s playing a double neck Gibson SG. one neck has 12 strings the other has 6 strings. This song is just one HUGE crescendo for 8 minutes.

[@lionelgarcia2386]

Us older folks take it for granted that younger people should know these songs and artists given they were giants in the music industry. But we forget songs from this era are 40+ years old. When I was young I didn’t listen to songs 40+ years old. In the 1960’s and 70’s I wasn’t listening to songs from 20’s and 30’s. Maybe some from the 1950’s. Given that we are now in the 21st century eventually these songs and artists will be long forgotten as the older people pass away. None of us listen to music from the 1800’s. The same will happen to music from the 20th century. But they were great stuff. Still today this is the main source of my music listening. I appreciate younger people discovering these music treasures. Enjoy and try to keep them relevant among your peers as long as possible.

[@tonym362]

I always search for your comment whenever I watch a reaction to Led Zeppelin. It's kind of become a thing for me.

[@Fez135]

The double-necked guitar is effectively two guitars combined into one body. The bottom guitar is a standard 6-string that's no different to any other. The top guitar is a 12-string guitar. It's most often tuned in the same way that a 6-string is tuned except there are two strings per course instead of one. The lowest 4 courses are tuned in octaves so the low E3 has an E2, the A3 has an A2 etc. Then the highest 2 courses are tuned in pairs. So B3 and B3, and E4 and E4. The benefit of a 12-string is it creates a kind of shimmer effect to the tone of the notes. The two strings playing in unison per course vibrate out of phase with each other so they have a unique sound.

[@andrewmanzi2969]

People listen to this song for years and then realize that the song is a message. You listen to it one time and realize it is a message. I guess you could say it is a story but it is more as a message. When you go in the search box in KZbin and you search how was Stairway to Heaven made there is a interview and the guitar player explains how and why it was made.

They rocked this so hard.
