Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven “Live” (Reaction)

[@davidlongmire2524]

Nobody around today is on the level as Led Zeppelin!!!!!

[@robertcrawford2949]

Led zepplin wasn't just music. It was a 12 year experience.

[@TheFarmanimalfriend]

It’s a recorder, not a flute. Led Zeppelin is the greatest rock band that will ever walk this earth.

[@ikshields]

And at that, it’s John Paul Jones on his Mellotron, imitating recorders/flutes very convincingly.

[@andyallan2909]

Never played the same way twice - the GREAT Led Zeppelin.

[@SimplyKSimone]

Thx ☺️

[@jillhaas578]

No one now comes close to Led Zeppelin. By a million miles

[@jim9661]

I think Jimmy was probably my favorite guitar player when I was a kid. I would spend hours listening to Led Zeppelin. It's great that Simone appreciates Jimmy's playing in his version.

[@hapkrs]

there will never be music like this ever again

[@SimplyKSimone]

Nope

[@gazdenny6594]

No one but no one can emulate this music today, that's why its tmieless

[@SimplyKSimone]

Agreed

[@Scoobydcs]

this is the best band ever doing 1 of the greatest ever versions of 1 of the best songs ever written by anybody EVER!!!

[@Isleofskye]

I pride myself on my powers of observation and I would say, on balance, you are a fan :)

[@PeterTea]

Lol. No one even back then could perform like that. That’s why Zeppelin is at the peak of rock mountain.

[@mervinward256]

the performance alone says it all no contest

[@ronaldsanders9464]

you are just now witnessing the greatest night in rock and roll history just enjoy

[@SimplyKSimone]

I agree

[@Michael-kj3tn]

The "flute" is a mellotron keyboard. It had the flute sound, strings mixed with brass, and a choral effect. It used to overheat easily. This was a time of fighting with your instrruments while playing, especially keyboards. I love that sound too. Goes great with weed.

[@mr.zeppelin9384]

By the way this song by led zeppelin stair to heaven is the number 1 song in the history of rock and roll best band ever case dismissed ❤❤❤❤❤

[@monroegodette6440]

There is nobody from this generation that can compare. What was, and never will be again....Led Zeppelin

[@jeffreygreer]

back when rock ruled america and the world, i can't even name a rock band in america save for metallica who is past their time

[@Chapterhouse86]

And the Song Remains the Same.

[@wgdavis5353]

Stairway to Heaven came out in 1971, this Madison Square Garden show was in 1973, it is great.. I think that was John Paul Jones on the Keyboards making the Flute sound.. ♠W.G.

[@Isleofskye]

100% Correct !

[@adenauerlemos7926]

Correct. The Melatrom. This keyboard was very used those days. Beatles and Beach Boys used a lot.

[@comunicacion8037]

Yes, is him

[@Scoobydcs]

they never played a song the same way twice live, the FELT it every time!!!

[@cindyshawver9986]

Love Robert Plant's singing !!!......not unhappy about the open shirt either, not to mention the gorgeous hair, beautiful face and that awesome voice !!........wow !!

[@andyallan2909]

Not just the music, "The shirt" was never the same twice, as (rumour would have it) it was usually 'donated' by the previous evening's conquest.

[@cindyshawver9986]

@@andyallan2909 i've heard that before too......i don't necessarily believe it.....LOL

[@JU5TINPDX]

No joke, in the last year I have listened to that solo over 100 times... and it still hits me right in the soul EVERY SINGLE TIME. This was 1973 from the concert film called “the song remains the same” filmed at Madison square garden in NYC. Led Zeppelin is widely regarded as the best rock group of all time, they had few peers then, and none at all now. Enjoyed the reaction, do more zeppelin and the views will follow 😉

[@michaelpeach2833]

Me too. And let's not forget how much it was enhanced by Bonzo's drums. I also love Jimmy's solo on No Quarter from that same concert film.

[@Isleofskye]

Expensive to watch live though. I saw them one year after Madison in North West London @ Wembley Arena and the ticket price? 75 PENCE or Just under $1........:)

[@davidsleith7222]

my dad was bonkers about zep, ive been a musician 35 years and this song is so epic in it's simplicity and complexity i'm still hooked on it. timeless.

[@buixrule]

This is the anthem of rock anthems. The bar that all other rock anthems are judged by. No other song fills me up and makes me feel complete the way Stairway to Heaven does. But all Zep is worthy. I had every album at one time and there was no bad zeppelin. They just evolved is all they did.

[@jimmyavsfan24]

Kashmir is an absolute MASTERPIECE. In my opinion Kashmir is the greatest song/masterpiece ever put together from beginning to end every note played every note saying is absolute perfection

[@ryanbarrett4534]

In my time of dying

[@scottharris3611]

When you said “I like guitar” I couldn’t wait to see your reaction to the solo. You didn’t disappoint.

[@jakeenan]

Yeah that solo was something else. You lived that one, girl. He re-arranged and expanded it. The two guys playing behind him maybe knew 80% of what he was going to do.....so to go with him like they did on point all the way was something special too.

[@Darrell98277]

I think a lot of people misunderstand the lyrics. JRR Tolkien, a contemporary of C.S. Lewis, writer of Hobbit, Lord of the Rings... also wrote a book called the silmarillion.. .which talked of the world before those stories... the Piper was God, and music was the power in which he created... the elves, looked to the west with longing, their birthplace.. a lady in the Silmarillion and all of the stories, Galadriel, fell in love with God... I actually believe the song came from this.... in the end,... the 'tune will come to you at last'... the realization there is a creator.... very inspiring song

[@JoeLeo2953]

Also inspired the song Ramble On

[@wesleyartrip6765]

The version of "Since I've Been Loving You" from the same concert is something to behold:)

Jimmy was born to be holding that guitar on the stage.

[@panpdx8919]

This song, this version was for a time carved into our spirit as water carves through the stone.

[@ikshields]

Madison Square Garden, NYC, 1973. This is the sound that us 70’s kids heard any day of the week, blasting out of car radios and our little AM mono-only transistor hand-helds, and packing our record collections at home. And then there was all the other killer music going on - the rise of various fusions of Jazz and Rock, the electrifying sound of Funk at its very best, and more. And those radio stations? The most popular weren’t stuck in one genre, but were called “Middle of the Road” (“MOR”) stations. Yes, they played pretty much every goddamned thing. After “Stairway” got done, you might hear The Jackson 5, or a cut from a terrifying Miles Davis electric album, or Petula Clark singing “Downtown”, or experience a whole Moody Blues LP, while the DJ went out for a smoke or a toke. We got everything thrown at us, whether we chose it or not. No wonder us 70’s kids aren’t impressed by the claustrophobic little hidey-holes music’s stuck in right now, and how, tellingly, nobody seems to know how to really play with each other anymore. Once you’ve lived in the world Music and musicians are capable of, there’s no going back. How do you get us stuffed back into a drum machine box, after we’ve heard Led Zeppelin? 🔥🌪️⚡️

[@dalem8332]

The amazing Led Zeppelin! GREAT performance and great song from Led Zeppelin lV. Jimmy Page is one of the best guitarist ever! Creative innovative phenomenal! ♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦

[@stanleymyrick4068]

Did someone say flute? Jethro Tull, Aqualung!

[@VinE83656]

True, with flute and Jethro Tull. However, I am trying to think if Aqualung actually has a lot of flute in it. It probably does, but not as much as in other Tull songs.

[@kathyjones3940]

Seen Led Zeppelin 2 times, once in 1977 on April 1, 1977 Toronto, at the Maple Leaf Gardens, then on October 17 , 1980 in Montreal, at the Montreal Forum, and my best friend bought tickets for Robert Plant's solo tour on June 10, 1985 at The Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver, BC, Canada!! Led Zeppelin are truly amazing live and so sexy!! Robert Plant during his solo tour was amazing as well and just as sexy , like fine wine he ages so well! Had front row tickets to all 3 shows!! Going to see Robert on Wednesday Aug 14, 2024 at 7:00 PM at The Queen Elizabeth Theatre Vancouver, BC Can't wait!!! ❤️🥰🤘

[@robbiek555]

No many how many bajillion times I’ve listen to these guys, I am blown away every time.

[@nthdegree1269]

Great song...1971...Number 1 on FM RADIO for decades. The song offers two roads people might be on in life. Materialistic or a more Spiritual road. One can always get back on the right road. The metaphors and visionary aspects are abstract and difficult to interpret and each will have their own meaning.

[@leonardcruz6390]

I have seen LED ZEPPELIN live in SAN FRANCISO back in the day. They are the best ROCK AND ROLL EVER. They started hard rock. Different times different eras. Real musicians know electronic b/s start up talent.

[@rickjohnson3580]

1973 concert filmed at Madison square garden. This is a clip from the movie that Zepelín made called ,The Song Remains the Same. The movie is a complete concert with fantasy scenes with the band members. Robert plant, Song was The song Remains the Same/ The Rain. Jimmy Page was Dazed and Confused. Awsume guitar solo and bow work.John Paul Jones, No Quarter.amazing key boards and organs.and last but not least John Bonham with Moby Dick. Unbelievable drum solo. Then there is Rock and Roll.Black Dog, Since I’ve been loving you, Stairway to heaven, and Whole latta love. Every song will blow you away. This movie will forever change the way you think about Rock music. This is pure talent and masterfull musicianship unlike any band you have ever seen. You will understand why they are referred to as The Greatest Band of all time.

[@williamcabell142]

You have entered into another dimension...no it’s not the twilight zone, it’s the rabbit hole of L.Z. This is the Madison Square Garden Concert 1973, I was 21 years old. It’s not a flute it’s JPJ on the key board. If you watch him play the keys, you will notice it’s him. Watch Jimi he plays the two necks at different times. The top is a 12 string, while the bottom is a six! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Scoobydcs]

EVERYTHING from this gig is amazing!!

[@leemcintyre9490]

Yeah. That's how they did it in the 70s. All at the top if their craft. I can just see Robert smoking a cigarette and drinking a JD or something back stage before that 3 to 4 hr vocals performance.

[@rasg]

La manera de tocar es estar conectado interior porque esto es algo magistral y la voz y bateria es increíble guitarra

[@rodciferri9626]

Not a flute - that part was done with a soprano recorder on the studio version of this song. But, in this live video, it was John Paul Jones on the mellotron approximating the bass, tenor and soprano recorders and bass guitar tracks he had recorded for the studio version. It's the only way John Paul Jones could play the four different instruments simultaneously at a live concert.

[@boki1693]

At the start of the video thats the Brooklyn Bridge in the foreground and the World Trade Center buildings in the background. Which obviously are no longer there. :( If no one mentioned it yet, this concert happened in 1973 at Madison Square Garden in NYC. It was released as a film, "the Song Remains the Same, in 1976. A group today that can give a great performance like this? You should check out a group called "Dream Theater." They are the ebst group nobody has ever heard of. They have been around since 1988 and have over a dozen studio albums and around 8 live dvds. They don't have the same raw feeling and emotion of this song but the things this band can do will blow your mind. Every member of this group is just an amazing performer and their music is so complicated it will leave you wondering how they can even play it. But they can also make some very nice ballads too. This is one of their more, Straight forward, main stream less complicated songs. They made this "simpler" song as a protest to the record companies wanting to be more mainstream. And it actually became pretty big hit for them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3rcoHqGhNykgq8&ab_channel=RHINO Check out the guitar solo at 6:14.

[@Malmas7]

Check out the Heart version which was a tribute to Led Zeppelin i think it was at Kennedy center its an amazing version of this beautiful song 🎵 ♥

[@donaldbrunner6250]

That solo which was totally improvised by Jimmy Page is the reason Jimmy Page is one of the top 5 greatest guitarists in history of rock. If you want to see another insane solo by Jimmy watch "Dazed and Confused" from the same concert it's 25 minutes but worth the time. There is no band out there today that could come close to Led Zeppelin live. You have this in one band. Robert Plant- One if the best lead singers ever. Jimmy Page- one of the top 5 guitarists in rock history. John Paul Jones- One of the best bassist in rock. Who just happens to play great keyboards. John "Bonzo" Bonham- the greatest drummer in history. Listen to Heart's cover of Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors program. The show honored Led Zeppelin's contributions to music. Robert Plant says it's the best cover of Stairway to Heaven he's ever heard.
