Nailed it. I think it's safe to say that any guitar player who aspires to be in a band would want that group to sound like this. Great job and thank you for sharing this.

[@ggelfer3]

HOW DO YOU SPELL PERFECT? Go no further than LLB. Stairway To Heaven is impossible to cover, but LLB does it with ease and a lot of class!

[@TC-eo5eb]

The Wilson sisters did an equally out of the ballpark rendition of this song.

Someone tell me why this group isn't the most popular thing on KZbin because this was nothing short of amazing!

[@LexingtonLabBand]

Very kind of you, thank you!!

[@lindabergman3127]

Agreed100

[@patrickclune3600]

I’ve said that too over and over and over again. This band gives the younger generation who are interested in our era of music a chance to see and hear what our music sounded like when we saw the original artists performing their material. The LLB is the only band that’s covers it ALL with perfection in every single aspect, note and beat. Instead of looking up the original artists to cover a song or just listen, I lookup these guys instead. What more can I tell you ?

[@allanmoral3867]

Makes me wonder... Haaahh...

[@musicman257]

I know right they should be

[@SantiagoRiberal]

Pretty Damn Good!! in-fact....No-one-else does it better!! You guys/Gals are the best Cover Band ever!! Please keep cranking 'them out.....

[@nathanfrisby3133]

I must confess! I’m addicted to LLB ! There , I have said it! One cover leads to another and another. Your tight musical performances and execution of vocals that I have never heard from any other cover band just blows my 67 year old mind.

[@davidwilliamgay4821]

I realise this is over 3 years old. but i have just discovered this absolute masterpiece. Wow words cannot explain just how good this is. First time i have ever heard a female singing Led Zep, and boy you killed it. This is simply superb

[@zeppelinmexicano]

This ranks up there with the Heart version at the Kennedy Center. When it's done with the right passion, its genius comes through.

[@mdogg1604]

Yes indeed! Did you see the expression on Robert Plant's face as Heart performed? I'm sure he would be just as awestruck at this performance.

[@rsparham]

I was thinking exactly the same. In fact, right after this, I went to the Heart version. The choir at the end of the Heart version was the difference maker.

[@xyzct]

Better than ...

[@robertdillon9989]

I thought your guitars were better than the Heart version!!!!

[@rigelmoon9030]

We're comparing apples to oranges, here. It all depends on your particular definition of a cover. If want the cover artists to add their own personalities to the song with some changes in the arrangement, that's one thing. If you want the cover to be as close to the studio version as possible, that's another. I speak for many who feel the LLB's philosophy of covers is the latter. Why? I can only speak for myself: I'm very disappointed when I see most artists unable to reproduce their own studio versions. That's why I come here: to see how live versions should be done

[@calbo4051]

The haunting beauty of Jessica's voice is mesmerizing.

[@bubbagump2372]

Nicely done ✅

[@eriklindhurst5793]

I think her voice is better than Robert Plant's.

[@DoahnKea_Tuber]

Agreed! And, as such, still think the vocals level needs to be increased. Am I the only one who feels that way?

[@gregchapek969]

Agree, Jessica’s voice need a little more in the mix volume. I thoroughly enjoy watching Jessica totally immersed in the music to her very soul. I think I actually enjoy llb version more than the lz original. Certainly better acoustic quality.

[@89smokey]

From now on… Anytime someone wants to cover Stairway to Heaven, THIS IS HOW YOU COVER IT!!! Excellent finger-picked acoustic, Vandee; loved the flutes; Randy’s bass was perfection, and Ryan was making Bonzo smile down on him, but Roger REALLY upped his game with that blistering solo with Jim backing him on the 12/6! But Jessica… oh Jessica, Ann Wilson has never sounded better when she sings this! (Not to leave Austin out, but JPJ never got the credit he deserved on keyboards, either). Whew! Did I miss anyone?

[@garywatson3778]

she needs to be higher in the mix - she is a little lost under the backing music, particularly the flutes. Also closed-captions, PLEASE. Like to 'read' the lyrics with bad ears...

[@charbon2004]

LAB Zeppelin or is it LEX Zeppelin? WOW!!! Unbelievable, yet not surprising...Leave it to Jessica to bring it to Life to perfection... Between her singing, the flutes, guitars, keyboard and Ryan "Bonham", I think their version would have made it to Number 1 on the Charts had they been the original performers...KUDOS to each and every one of you.

[@Gettingeven20012000]

The level of musical talent in these videos is unbelieveable. I wish they toured more... some of the best music I have ever heard.

[@MrBillmechanic]

I must strongly disagree regarding LLB and touring. LLB , in my opinion, will always do the best for themselves and for their ever increasing following, by staying right where they are there in Kentucky, working out of their newly built facility within their own local territory. THe Lexington Lab Band is one of a kind on this planet. If you study them closely, you will understand that they are unique, unlike any other band that ever has been, is, or likely, ever will be. Just my opinion.

[@stanleynich]

[@85hokieRock]

Dang…guitar riff gave me a chill…Jessica on the high part is exceptional….drums …flutes….as always ….loved to listen LLB…

[@TheBent139]

A song many of us have heard thousands of times. A song that cannot really be reinterpreted because it is so iconic (although it's been done). Every time I see you post a new video I realize it must be such a challenge, because you have done such stellar work in the past. Jessica steals the show again, with a vocal on the level of Ann Wilson. But the rest is perfection as well. You stayed very faithful to the studio version and covered the sound of those endless overlays by Page with ease. Great opening, the flutes sounded great. Another remarkable achievement. Everyone associated with this group over the years should be very proud. Never a weak link.

[@scorch33]

"with a vocal on the level of Ann Wilson" ahahaha AHAHAHAHAHAhahahaha no.

[@TheBent139]

@@scorch33 That's your opinion pal. Everybody has got one. Not saying anyone is ever going to top Ann's Lincoln Center performance of this song in front of LZ (they won't), but I dig Jessica's performances on the LZ set and her Heart tribute with LLB. As well as a bunch of great backing vocals on this channel. Whatever, she does outstanding work, so I give Jessica the highest possible. compliment. An A+, a 4.0, 10/10 or just compare her to a rock goddess like Ann Wilson. Not going to laugh back at you.

[@rigelmoon9030]

Hey..This is exactly what the cream of cover bands do: keep it as close to the original as possible. The LLB dissects each song and reveals how perfect the songs really are.
