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.

[@tonelok]

I'm just going to pile on and confirm that this is T1 for Best Stairway Cover right next to the Kennedy Center Honors, and that had Heart, Jason Bonham, and made Robert Plant get verklempt.

[@frederickherring2284]

Real Music, by real musicians. what else is there? I know, and no rap

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

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

[@hogcaller]

This band is five steps above any cover band I've seen or heard. Easy to say the best I've ever heard !! Rock on !!!👏👏👏

[@photronic]

Five giant steps!

[@stanleynich]

Robert Plant, Ann Wilson and now Jessica McKenney great job all of you

[@85hokieRock]

well said! - took the thought out of my head and placed it in print!

[@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.

[@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.

[@brucemoore4092]

You are absolutely right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are PERFECTION !!!!!!

[@brianhenry7713]

Every Labor Day these guys have a live concert near Lexington KY. Been 2 years now. They do a great live show!!

[@drwhipit2010]

My favorite thing about excellent covers is hearing the performers passion for the original. It adds a new dimension without disrespecting the original artist.

[@daytonarama]

I have never heard the guitar sound dialed in so perfectly (or played as perfectly) as in that final electric lead....but amazing across the board -- singer, drums, bass, flute and the many guitars.

[@sandstone72]

I can't imagine the amount of work you guys put in and the attention to detail to recreate the original artists sound. Perfection! You guys sound great!

[@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.

[@christinedoane8431]

Wow, what a fantastic cover of this Led Zeppelin classic! One of those songs that send chills through your body as it plays....

[@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.

[@JollyDeacs11]

Heart is the gold standard. This ranks up there and love the authenticity.

[@davepelfrey3958]

Sitting here shaking my head in amazement of how amazing that performance was. I'm 64 and have never heard that song sound so powerful and strong. Bravo 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

Ghost notes on the snare, in service of the pocket, not easy to pull off. This guy does it justice.

[@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.

[@kevinkelley3657]

8 year clarinet player here............the flute feature is awesome, and Jessica as a lead was almost perferct, I mean it.

[@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?

[@bsbabcock]

[@TheAtticradio]

Wow … great idea with female vocals - awesome !! 😎🎸…0n headphone … fantastic !! Rock on !! 😎🎸

[@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.
