I'm SO glad you did the original version and NOT the live. I think besides myself, there's a guy in Peoria, Ill, and some guy in Sweden, and we are probably the only ones who almost always prefer the studio versions over live. If I was going to introduce someone like yourself to "new old" music, I would NEVER go for a live version first. That's fine for later, after you've heard some of the choicest tunes from the original albums of a certain artist, and you're a bit seasoned to their music. This is not to diss anyone on here who thinks otherwise, if u prefer live, you have my blessings! Thanks for doing this great song, pretty lady!

One of the good things about days past, when you heard a song you really liked, such as Stairway to Heaven, on the radio, even though it was usually the short version, you would buy the album and be introduced to a world of music you loved that was NOT payed on the radio. One of my favorite memories connected with this song was when I was a young man, about 20, and working in an import shop. My manager let me play tapes instead of listening to Muzak all the time and one day I had Zeppelin playing. A man and his wife came in, he stopped at the register to ask if I was playing the music, or if it was piped in. Then we talked a bit. He was a Vietnam vet. He got drafted in 70, or 71. Before that he had only listened to country music. In Vietnam he was introduced to rock, and he admitted he felt one reason he loved it so much over there, when he really hated it at home, was the fact in Vietnam he started listneing to rock while under the influence of Thai stick. As the song was coming up to the guitar solo on Stair Way to Heaven his wife comes up to the register to pay out. The husband says, "Figures, the best guitar solo in rock, and she is ready to leave". She responded by saying, "Well, you listen, I'll go spend more money" and off she went.

@@jppage3292 Both Page and Plant, in keeping with the times, were readers of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Plant has commented lightly on the possibility of lyrical allusions to LOTR in his music, and even gone so far as to say that he and Jimmy Page would "play music and write songs about the Lord of the Rings." He can even be quoted as saying "After reading Tolkien, I knew I had to move to the country," thus proving how deep an impact the trilogy made on him, as it has to many of us. In his lyrics, particularly those for "Ramble On" and "Battle of Evermore," Plant uses Tolkien-specific terms such as Gollum, Ringwraiths and Mordor. Other, more indirect allusions may be found elsewhere throughout their repertoir. link www.ledtolkien.com/
