The cover was very controversial.

Steve Winwood and Go Crossing the Line

I graduated from high school in 1973. Stairway to Heaven was our senior song! Still love that song all these years later.

I am pretty sure that Frank was visiting here from another planet.

Kashmir. My all-time favorite “go to” rock song.

No Stairway to Heaven thread is complete without a link to Stairway to Gilligan's Island by Little Roger and the Goosebumps.

If you like Kashmir (and rock trivia), you might like “Innuendo” by Queen, which was dedicated to Kashmir.

Youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpys1c3jCNs

Robert Plant sang a live version of this song with verses from Kashmir at the 1992 Freddie Mercury memorial concert.

Whoops... you beat me to it. Listening to Stairway to Gilligan’s Island is like having a train wreck in my head. :) The story about the pressing of that single, and subsequent destruction of nearly every copy at the behest of Led Zep’s lawyers, is interesting. Quite a collector’s item today.

Was hoping the guys would get back together (with Jason Bonham) after the O2 concert, best rock n roll band ever.

If you're a Jason Bonham and/or Zep fan, you owe it to yourself to check out Black Country Communion (BCC). Best new rock band in a LONG time. Like listening to classic rock, except all new. Many of their songs actually sound Zep-like, plus they do Zep covers like No Quarter on occasion. Best part of all is BCC's lead guitarist Joe Bonamassa. He is quickly becoming my favorite guitarist ever, even supplanting Jimmy Page - which I once thought would never happen (yeah, I've always been a big Zep fan).

I like it too.

It seems like Zep settled down a little. Got a groove going.

“In Through The Out Door” is one of my favorites too. It’s synthier than their other albums but it has some great guitar moments too, like the solo on I’m Gonna Crawl.

I remember seeing them twice at the Chicago stadium when concert prices were affordable. Once I was about 7 rows away from the speakers. That may have contributed to my need for the hearing aids I wear.

Awesome concerts!

I saw Pink Floyds Animal tour from the front row.

It sounded awesome.

What?
