This is the best band ever! Trust me they don't make a bad song...the 4 best musicians to ever grace the planet!

I've probably heard this 1000 times or more and it never gets old.

I've been playing guitar most of my life. 50 years or so. And I can tell you, Jimmy is in a dimension of his own. If there's a fifth dimension, then Page is likely coming from it.

Zeppelin were famous for extending many songs in concert and for their spontaneous jams. It allowed them to expand and come up with new ideas off the cuff. While you may have wished the solo was shorter, it is an exercise in guitar ecstasy and emotion. Every note, speaks

Too long? I wish that solo would go on forever. ❤️

I just love all the extra little licks jimmy plays on the 12 string makes this version the best

IMO, you heard the best guitar solo ever put on a record. Other people might not agree, but that's just the way I see it!

Monumental guitar solo, epic song, best group in history of rock! 👍🏻🤟🏻

First time I’ve ever heard someone being bored listening to Jimmy Page rock out on a great solo.

The long guitar solos are well suited for live audiences, who really don't want them to end - ever! For home listening, the studio version may suit you better. And the solo on that is absolutely definitive.

Probably one of the greatest live improvised solos ever recorded on film. And Robert Plant was amazing.

Rebeka, Jimmy Page does extend the solo live, yes. The original, studio version of this legendary song is shorter, more concise. Both versions are brilliant but this live version...my friend, what you are hearing and seeing here is PASSION. This live solo is not scripted, nor pre-planned note-for-note. It has a general structure and has some linkage with the original version but most of this is improvised on the spot, in the moment. You need to understand that Jimmy's fingers and his soul were on FIRE during this performance. He laid it all out there and he let, honestly, the GODS guide his playing! He is an artist of the highest order and he put all of himself into this solo so, yes, it was a bit more lengthy than the original. And it was all the better for it. Peace and love!

His long solo was giving LOVE to all!!! It was the best of him at that time!!!

The best voice in rock music, one of the greatest guitarists of all time, one of the three greatest drummers and one of the three greatest bass players, all in one band. No other group can match that. The result of course is timeless excellence. As the old saying goes, "They don't make them like that anymore". As for the length of the guitar solo, in the 60's/70's they were meant to be long, Page, Clapton, Beck, Gilmour, Hendrix etc live could produce solos of 15-20 minutes.

My Dad has every record of led zepplin, he grew up on the band since a teen

This performance is from Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1973, which is documented in the concert film The Song Remains the Same (1976).

I'm 59 years old and grew up listening to Led Zep, and I have to recommend listening to "Dazed and Confuzed" by them. It's perfect for your listening pleasure.

The visual of the Twin Towers in the background...when Robert Plant says “this is a song of hope”.....

Hello Rebeka. Thank you for reacting to Lead Zepplin Stairway to Heaven. Its such an iconic song. That everyone should hear at least once in there lifetime. Its both mesmerising & heavy rocky that it covers all taste.

Known them for 40yrs and I'm still going WOW!!

This is a rock masterpiece that will never be equalled.

Zep at their peak are magical, what a superb band they were

Honestly, watching you rock out is one of life’s pleasures

desde CHILE un beso ...que hermosa...bellisima y LED ZEPPELIN son aparte ...no son de este mundo...son dioses ..otro nivel totalmente maravilloso...inigualable

I agree they could have tightened it up a bit. But it was a live show, and JImmy Page, the lead guitarist, is a legend. A lot of fans love those long solos.

Simply the best rock band ever ! I'm from the era and loved this song back then, now it brings tears as I listen to there power of the band. This powerful music is not made much anymore. Its defines my generation.

If this solo was too long for you I wouldn't recommend listening to any other live stuff by Zep. It's not for you.

You have too lose someone really close to you to appreciate this song!!! We lost are 24 year old daughter almost 6 years ago ... Still hurts too this day and always will...

Watching her reaction [Rebeka's] to paint drying on a wall Would be equally enjoyable as well Thank you for letting us be part of the beauty that rarely graces one's path in a life time

Beautiful woman reacts to the beautiful music. Greetings from Slovakia.

As a kid in high school I had THE poster of Robert Plant and Jimmy Page from this concert hanging on my bedroom wall. For a deeper dive into Zeppelin check out "Dazed and Confused" from this same concert, Live at Madison Square Garden 1973. This was also used in their movie "The Song Remains the Same", grab a snack and a cold beverage because it's over 28 minutes long. Also another great one is "Kashmir".

He is singing all through this. Led Zep is by far one of the greatest rock'n'roll bands ever, and Stairway to Heaven is one of the greatest songs every. However, they have a masterpiece, Kashmir. If you haven't already listened to that one, it's a must. Every song Zep ever put out was great! :D

This song build slowly and it’s all part of the act. They do stretch it out live. I saw them in ‘77 they played for 4 1/2 hours! Great to see a reaction from a new generation listening to Led Zeppelin. I’ve really enjoyed your reactions!

If you thought the guitar solo was too long then you might try listening to something else. Unbelievable

Thanks for the Led Zeppelin ❤

'The solo destroyed it for me'....LOLOLOL! Literally, One of the best live solos of all time. This person doesn't know music. Good grief.

He's singing the whole song through, just at different tempo and volume. The guitar intro is hugely famous.

Hey sweetie.....you give this old man so much joy in seeing your reactions to my youth...4 Brits....multi talented...CAN NOT BE CATEGORIZED IN ANY GENRE....REPEAT...CAN NOT BE CATEGORIZED....MUSICALLY LIMITLESS...

The best guitar solo ever !

Jimmys solo is absolutey perfect and not one second too long. I would suggest you listen again.

This song is an excellent 'gateway drug' to the addiction that is Led Zeppelin ;)

"Stairway To Heaven" is more than THE antheme of the whole rock history, it's THE revelation at all.Now you havegiven them your soul and they will never give it you back.

Best hard rock band ever LZ, best band ever Beatles, Best rock band The Who.

Led Zeppelin, the greatest band of all time! Arguably the deepest and most consistent catalog of music in any era and any genre! Enjoy your trip down the rabbit hole. Wonderful reaction 🙂

Beautiful! You and your reaction!

glad to see u felt the drummer as well

Great reaction! Started following you! I was at this show when I was 14 years old!

Best Rock and roll band ever

Greatest ever genius on every level masters of there craft. To be as big as they where from not releasing a single just album speaks volumes how great led was

There was only one Led Zeppelin and one Stairway to Heaven, Amazing.

Watched an interview with plant in the seventies. He said he developed his stage presence emulating marilyn monroe and Tina turner.

Bono in the back ground is just amazing

"Whole Lotta Love" from Zeppelin.... You Won't regret it! Great reaction... Keep' em coming! Peace....

There are two paths you can go by, but in the long run there's still time to change the road you're on..... One of my favorite lyrics ever..... So true... Life is about the choices we make... Led Zeppelin... the greatest rock band ever to grace the stage... Period.....

This is the best rendition of this song ,Jimmy page is on fire here ,the longer the guitar solo the better ,must of been the best experience ever if you were in that crowd ,,I was only six damn it 😂

My God your stunning well flawless actually lol and you love ledd zeppelin is there anything better lol this performance is electrifying powerful and zepp at the world class best a song that will live for eternity the rock anthem absolutely brilliant

You have now entered the ream of music Gods Led Zep are the best band to ever walk this planet they are truly the Music Gods!

Icons,legends don't do this band justice greatest band ever. Musicality,masters of there craft. The band stopped when the drummer john died cause ya can't replace perfection.

That guitar is screaming!!! he's burning it!

Led zeppelin - dazed & confused ( heavy for 1970 ) awesome track

One of the best songs, by one of the best bands, in the history of Rock & Roll !

I am sure that this has been said many times here. This has been and continues to be ranked either one or two as the best song ever. Interchange with this Apr hey Jude by the Beatles

The best... in the pantheon of Rock and Roll.... Together with Pink Floyd i would say... Rebecca you are a goddess.....A friend from Rio de Janeiro Brazil..

every girl (well, every cool girl) in my high school had the same look on her face listening to zep as you did watching this.

Pagey owes me a menthol cigarette he bummed from me back with The Yardbirds, back in 1967. I think I will let it pass. LOL Peace and Love ,Pagey!

It's so great that you pick live performances! Thanks Rebeka!

I think Page goes long on live solos because he wants to leave a memory for those fans & ticket buyers that came & wants to give them something. I saw them in 1969 in Boston & still remember how awesome they were live & they only had 3 or 4 albums out at that point. 😄

👍🇬🇧❤BEYOND PRECIOUS 🎸BEST BAND EVER !!!!!!.....PERFECT AMAZING GUITAR SOLO 👍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

I love this live version. It was during the 1973 tour. Robert is missing teeth. lol. He is still trying to create a place for himself in the band and loves the drama. With the lighting behind him, he really looks every inch of the Golden God. Jimmy is starting to be at the top of his game during this time and for the next two years. He has created some of the most well known riffs in rock n roll. JPJ and Bonzo round out the band so that each person contributes equally. It is an amazing stroke of luck that these 4 people got together and created music for us that is still being listened to and discovered by a new generation today!

best version ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thant you for giving Zeppelin another chance. You definitely will not regret it. Their songs are all unique and no 2 songs really sound the same. That is why you can’t say that they are a Rock band because they do rock but then they groove like a blues band. Or a folk band, some songs sound country, or soul,R&B even a little punk and reggae. And a little heavy metal so what kind of band are they? They are in their own league that cannot be compared to any other band. That is why they are the greatest band to grace the stage

One of my favorites.

Late to the party, amazing live performance, I understand your reaction and to the solo, it’s your perspective and that’s awesome, but for pure LZ fans and guitar fans it’s never enough when it’s this good, it’s not just the sound, it is appreciating the skill to be able to do what Jimi does live or in any environment. Along with that though live performances concerts aren’t about just the music I’m sure you understand it’s a experience and in our era this era, through the 80s, 90s esp with no cell phones people actually were present in the moment, you were part of the music it wasn’t about pure sound quality voice or instrumentals though as many others have said this era usually delivered it all esp 70s and 80s the talent the skills was so high, not to be one of those guys compared to today, so live performances you have to almost transform yourself to what it was like at that time, close your eyes imagine there’s no mobile devices, imagine these no people, no countries, no war, no economic issues, you are part of the crowd sweaty heaving to the beat of the band on stage and just flowing like water, rather than trying to run upstream, when you are there in this time, solos like that are next level, as is was that whole performance that they and others were known for. Also so much else happens in the crowd from tops coming off to you think of it it happens or did back when, I saw my fair share of shit, ya never forget that. But respect your opinion reaction, just trying to show another angle to the Live vibe for reaction.

I saw their last ever live performance in Aug 1979 at Knebworth (UK).. I was 17 at the time. It was my first ever live concert.

It's good to note that Rock Concerts are usually an exercise in jams and emotion, often extending parts of the song according to what the band artistically is feeling that day. Many unexperienced to this era of live shows are expecting to hear the polished cut versions of recorded albums usually mastered for radio play at the time. Many bands felt that studio recordings are condensed versions of what they Really want to play. Record producers and record companies usually makes this decision. Also Live shows are sometimes influenced in mental states, if you know what I mean, with audiences and performers both in a mutual vibe. When I first saw this particular performance (this video) I also kind of thought the same thing as you but that was my mind comparing the studio version, but once I put that out of my mind and closed my eyes, it was perfect... different but perfect as a live "rendition" It's all about how you approach it I guess.

I saw them at the Capital Centre in Maryland most epic Concert I ever saw

Robert is the singer and lyricist. Jimmy is the lead guitarist and principle songwriter (music)

BEST . BAND . EVER .

Rebuka youknow buity can be deceiving cold be a snake in the grass the music is buitiful the end kicks ...❤ take care God will bring peace to this earth

It's live. If you want the short and sweet solo, listen to the studio version.

As the years progressed, Zeppelin shows got longer. From 2 hours to 5 or 6 hours. They didn't want to omit any songs from their song list, so as more material came about the longer the shows became.I had a bootleg titled Montreal "75" and Robert said something to the point of "hey brother we've been known to play for 8 hours." Today to see a top name band you would spend over $100 a ticket and would be lucky if they actually sang and if they played longer than 46 minutes. Zeppelin gave the people what they wanted. There I'd none equal or greater than the mighty Led Zeppelin

Greatest Rock and Roll Band....EVER!

What u see is what u get,why are smiling,Rebeka?✌✌✌

Your reactions to led Zeppelin genuinely make me smile

Old Jimbob can sure make that Double-necked Gibson talk. LOL! I threw one over my shoulder at Guitar Center and got a shoulder ache. That thing weighs a ton. I bet Jimmy had a backache after every concert he played. Cool guitar, awesome player. Zeppo rules!

You’re not the first music reviewer to be a little less impressed by the live version, but as with him once you review the Studio version you will change your mind 100%. I’d love to see you listen to the studio version. It’s a Masterpiece for All Time❤

GREATEST rock band EVER. 👍👍👍😎

greatest solo ever

What are the odds that right at the beginning of rock music The Beatles and Led Zeppelin arrived with the talent in both. That Jimmy Page, an absolutely great guitarist, and Robert Plant landed in one band is phenomenal. Plants voice is ethereal and mesmerizingly suited for rock.

The look on his face says it all he gave his best!!!

Check out Since I've Been Loving You live from 1973! Mind blowing performance.

It build & builds as the instruments & tempo increase.

Maybe the solo was a little long, but, look at it from the concert goers view - they got to see a legend at work, and, they also got their moneys worth of a show.

Listen the wilson's sisters cover, at the tribute of honour to led Zeppelin and see the reactions of Robert, Jimmy and John.. THE BEST COVER and THE BEST REACTIONS , specially ROBERT PLANT, please girl go to your school...

Великолепная балада!

Love the minimal make-up look, best band ever period.

Hint: Led Zeppelin is not singing, Robert Plant is. Zeppelin is not one guy. Or was not one guy.

The extended solos were a thing of the 70s guitar heroes. A guitarist then, like the other members of the band, were all judged by their solo performances. Something you will never see today's music.

Smooth and Classic overtones 🎵🎶 Beautiful. Thanks 😊

Hi Ms. R., The best rock song by the best rock band.. Are U jealous of Mr. Robert's hair.. ☺ On the Studio version Mr. Jimmy's solo is about 1/3 the length of this one.. ♠W.G.
