One of the best versions of Stairway To Heaven ever. Which reminds of the first time I head the song: The same station where I first heard Grand Funk’s Closer To Home and The Allman Brothers Band live version of Whipping Post. Classic rock did not exist at the time, but WRPI in Troy did.
This is an absolutely incredible version of this song — and you can see it on the faces of the members of Led Zeppelin.
That’s pretty intense. Robert Plant gets teary by the end. Barack and Michelle are rocking out at 3:40. Can’t wait to see Ann and Nancy tonight!
