Of course “Barracuda” was a blatant rip-off of “Achilles’ Last Stand”.

Not a bad cover as far as covers go. But its definitely not as good as Led Zeppelin’s.

It is interesting to listen to how singers from past eras adapt to changed ability levels, such as in the cases of Steve Perry and Art Garfunkel.

One of the finest songs ever.

Not sure I want to hear heart’s version though, currently listening to this one.

Working at a little AM/FM radio station in Illinois in the 70’s, I met Heart after the release of their first album.

They were signing albums at grand openings of Pamida/Gibson stores.

Total jerks.

I like Bellanova's jazz cover of Stairway to Heaven.

The only thing better than Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven is Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir

Heart does an outstanding cover of “Battle of Evermore” at the ‘95 Rock ‘n Roll HOF. While nothing can ever replace the marvelous duet performance of Sandy Denny and Robert Plant on the original, Heart’s version beats any live performance Led Zep ever did.

Unfortunately, the Heart video has been pulled for copyright reasons.

Jimmy liked the solo and Robert was crying ... very nice -> was that JPJ on the left? Unfortunately Obama was there faking like he got it. That guy’s face can ruin anything ... but not ruined. John Bonham couldn’t come down the stairway for breakfast cause he foreshadowed all the Spinal Tab drummers. Thanks for posting!

The Wilson sisters really do a great job of that one, but when it comes to chicks covering Zeppelin, they all must bow down to Zeparella, and the phenomenal Gretchen Menn’s guiltar work and Anna Kristina’s vocals and harp work that Robert Plant would die for:

“Stairway to Heaven” is one of the worst songs ever.

Even the kids in Led Zeppelin hat that song.

Thank you.

This was an amazing rendition and the response by the members of Led Zeppelin moved me very much, and even brought a tear to my eye.

Great cover of the song. The three Zeps in the audience liked it. Unfortunately Obama and Michelle were in the audience.

As far as I'm concerned, this is the one and only Stairway to Heaven. There may be other songs with that title., but none can hold a candle to the original.

Interestingly there is a complete different R&B song and Bluegrass tune with same name.
