The most requested song (FM Radio) of all time in America. Page's solo on Stairway is consistently ranked as one of the best solos of all time.

Robert Plant is the vocals. Jimmy Page is the guitarist. John Paul Jones is the bass and keyboards. John Bonham is the beast on drums. Try their song, "Since I've been loving you."

Check out the BBC interview of Stairway to Heaven, narrated by the greatest guitar legend, Jimmy Page. He breaks down the intricate developments to the most requested Rock song of all time. His guitar solo always gives me goosebumps as I reach for the highest volume level on the player. There will never be another band like this. Raw music genius that will forever stand the test of time. Period.

It's the GOAT rock song that ever was and ever will be, by the GOAT rock band and put Page past Hendrix as the GOAT guitarist of all rock and roll.

Great reaction. I suggest you listen to the studio version too. There are some iconic guitar riffs that have never been duplicated live. Also, you can't listen to Zeppelin (or any other band) without headphones. You are missing half of the performances without them. You will not regret getting a pair. Again, thanks for your reactions!

Led zeppelin greatest rock and roll band in the world

I am so glad you are doing live versions, you don't get the extra in the recorded versions.

This was recorded at a run down English mansion called Headingly Grange,the drums were set up at the bottom of a huge stairway,Jimmy played the rough outline to Robert who apparently had the lyrics wrote in literary minutes,genious,John Paul Jones plays mellatron plus a foot pedal bass on this live version,

What makes them the greatest band of all time was their versatility. No song sounds the same. Their creativity was ahead of their time and Jimmy Page (guitarist) was a composing genius!

11:14 That first bend on the solo, to me, is the most satisfying sound in music, Jimmy was a guitar monster.

"Does anybody remember laughter?"

Great song...always enjoyed listening to it. Brings back teenage years and the good times we had back in the day..Thanks....

This live from MSG is unbelievable isn't it? They are the best ever! Jimmy Page...best guitarist to ever grace the planet!

Suggestion: Kennedy Center Honours-Led Zeppelin, brought Robert Plant to tears.

Get it now mate? Probably one of the best rock songs ever!!

Guitarist is just the bands producer. He was a studio guitarist for years before joining the yardbirds who were formed in early 1963. Original yardbirds band members were lead vocalist Keith Relf, lead guitarist Anthony "Top" Topham, rhythm guitarist Chris Dreja, bassist Paul Samwell-Smith and drummer Jim McCarty Eric Clapton joined the band in October, 1963, replacing Topham and voluntarily left in 1965. He recommended Page as his replacement but Page declined and Jeff beck took over. Page eventually did join but as their bassist after Samwell-Smith left the band. Jeff Beck left in 1966, and Page, who had already transitioned to 2nd guitarist, took over as lead guitarist The Yardbirds dissolved within 2 years and the original name of Led Zeppelin was the New Yardbirds Class adjourned .That’s concluded today’s school history lesson.

First time listener. If you’re going on a Zeppelin journey, I’ll tag along. My favorite band. Guitarist Jimmy Page...one of the best rock guitarist in history. A true Rock God. He played with charisma and is famous for his amazing riffs and his ability to improvise on the fly. He also produced ALL the Zeppelin albums. A famous studio musician in London in the sixties before joining The Yardbirds...and then went on to found Zeppelin. Zeppelin in the seventies had the status that The Beatles held in the sixties and were that influential to future rock and metal. They released 10 albums and have sold somewhere between 200-300 million albums worldwide....In the top five artists in sales. Very deep and highly rewarding rabbit hole here, if you want to dig into them. All four outstanding musicians, and their collaboration took them to the very pinnacle of Rock God status at their peak. Famous for their diversity in their music, their incredible stage presence and chemistry onstage, the length of their concerts....usually over three hours....and for the LEGENDS of their rock god life-style while on tour. They wrote the book. If you liked Whole Lotta Love AND you like Stairway, then you will appreciate pretty much everything they did. Saddle up....it’s a long and highly rewarding journey you have ahead.

The Brits and Americans battled musically for years to everyone's great benefit. The Brits picked up on our blues and rock and ran with it for years.

HarriBest..... Zeppelin was an amazing band. Each of the four musicians were the elite of their instruments. Page, Plant, Jones and Bohnam ALL voted in many "Top 10" & "Best Of" lists over the years, each hitting number 1 on more than one occasion. Sad truth is they were so much better together, bringing the best out of each other. When John Bohnam died in 1980, they decided not to continue. As for what to listen to... You must understand (which you've already got a hint of) these guys were always growing/evolving and constantly changing. Suggest you start with "Led Zeppelin 1" the first album. Many here will agree, each album is solid as can be, each album is the quality of a "Best Of" by other groups. Start with the first song on the first album then continue, will be the only way to keep it straight with this journey. Challenge you to try, if wrong and you hit a song that bites, stop! If not continue. The first album changed Rock, has a heavy Blues influence, seriously check it out.. Then you'll be hooked and move on to the 2nd. Cheers!

Robert Plant wrote stairway to heaven; he says it is a song of hope. Although he wrote it,he admits he does not know what the song is about.

One of the Best 10 Songs Ever!!

This shows you the expected traffic doesn’t it. Here is Led Zeppelin only gives you a Starway to Heaven. Where as ACDC gives you a Highway to Hell. This is a terrific song. Love some Zeppelin

No one is making music like this on this planet these days. As for the lyrics, well, I don't think any of us knew what it was about even back then.

Led Zeppelin..... by number of completely FANTASTIC songs all-in-all, is my fave rock band ever. Lead guitarist is Jimmy Page, who always ranks in top 5 best guitarists of ALL TIME. Before Led Zep, he played with Clapton and a 16-yr old Beck in The Yardbirds. Think I commented before that IMO and considerable experience of their concerts, Zeppelin was not at their best live. Yet man oh man, what a great lot of songs they wrote and recorded. Hope you’ll choose to check out sometime, feel as if you’d enjoy.

"Whole Lotta Love" is top 5 hard rock songs of all time. Probably top 3..

You have just begun your journey. Their are much, much more. In my time of dying is a great one!

Since I''ve been loving you, Rain Song and No Quarter from the same concert. Kashmir or Achilles last stand from Knebworth 1979

"Since I've Been Loving You " live, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You ", "Black Dog" live, "Going to California" live at Earlls Court 4+minute version, "Ramble On " studio version to start with. It's a long good ride.

Please do The Song Remains The Same/The Rain Song...unreal! Also No Quarter from MSG too!! Both are live at MSG.

Greatest band ever

So so many, but give Dazed & Confused a listen.

Nice job. When you ask about a good Zeppelin song, it's hard to narrow down. They have a variety of old Mississippi blues and rock. Live they like changing things up and sometimes stretch a song to over 30 minutes. There's a live version of Dazed and Confused from 1975 (I think) that's 42 minutes. Enjoy the Zeppelin journey.

From the first album (Led Zeppelin I 1969) you still have: Good times bad times. Babe i'm gonna leave you. You shook me. Dazed and confused. Your time is gonna come. Black mountain side. Communication breakdown. I can't quit you baby. How many more times. From second album (Led zeppelin II 1969): Whole lotta love. What is and what should never be. The lemon song. Thank you. Heartbreaker. Living loving maid she's just a woman. Ramble on. Moby dick. Bring it on home. From the third album (Led Zeppelin III 1970): Inmigrant song. Friends. Celebration day. Since i've been loving you. Out in the tiles. Gallows pole. Tangerine. That's the way. Bron-Yr-Aur-Stomp. Hats off to (Roy) Harper. From fourt album (Led Zeppelin IV 1971): Black dog. Rock and Roll. The battle of evermore. Stairway to heaven. Misty mountain hop. Four sticks. Going to california. When the levee breaks. From fifth album ( House of the holy 1973): The song remains the same. The rain song. Over the hills and far away. The crunge. Dancing days. D'yer Mak'er. No quarter. The ocean. From the sixth album ( Physical Graffiti 1975): Custard Pie. The rover. In my time of dying. Houses of the holy. Trampled under foot. Kashmir. In the light. Bron-Yr-Aur. Down by the seaside. Ten years gone. Night flight. The wanton song. Boogie with stu. Black country woman. Sick again. From seventh album ( Presance 1976) Achilles last stand. For your life. Royal orleans. Nobody's fault but mine. Candy store rock. Hots on for nowhere. Tea for one. From eighth album ( In through the out door 1979): In the evening. South bound suarez. Fool in the rain. Hot dog. Carouselambra. All my love. I'm gonna crowl. From last album (Coda 1982) : We're gonna groove. I can't quit you baby. Poor tom. Walter's walk. Ozone baby. Darlene. Bonzo's mountreux. Wearing and tearing. Unreleased songs: La La. Travelling riverside blues. The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair. Baby come on home. Sugar mama. Hey hey what i can do. St. Tristan's sword. 10 Ribs & All / Carrot Pod Pod ( Pod). Key to the highway / Trouble in mind. Jennings farm blues. Live only songs: Somethin' else. Sunshine woman. C'mon Everybody. All recommended.

Hey brother, great video. I'm a new sub. I tried for years to understand the meaning to the lyrics to this song as they were so deep and epic sounding. Then recently on YT I heard Jimmy Page talking about it's recording in the studio when it was new. He said, "I can still see Robert Plant sitting on the floor of the studio writing lyrics for it". Almost as if it were scratched together at the last minute. That's when I realized no matter what the lyrics were or might have been, they brought the epic depth to it. Cheers!

You Shook Me, Kashmir, Dazed and Confused, Trampled under foot, Bring it on home to name a few. I am in my mid 60's now and I had the privilege to see Led Zeppelin live back when I was 16 in 1970 here in Winnipeg, Canada and they were brilliant! Watching Robert Plant (the singer) was something else when you a 16yr old female....whoa hot!! Just to let you know back in the day ( late 60's into the 70's) it was the fashion for men to have long hair and tight pants. Much more interesting for us females LOL Robert Plant pulled off the look perfectly! Robert Plant lead singer, harmonic Jimmy Page lead guitarist John Bonham drums John Paul Jones bass guitar and keyboards

Anymore songs of theirs you should check out? Let me tell you... Do you have a lifetime? All of them.

The meaning of the lyrics? I believe it was written with some ambiguity, everyone interprets it their own way. Though I believe there are some direct and prevailing concepts within and a general message. If there is any hint as to what he designed it to mean at the time, in the video to this concert (and he's repeated it in other concerts as well) Robert does provide some hint. Just before this song starts, he states: "I think this is a song of hope". Take that for what you will. Even he has admitted, probably quite honestly; that he isn't even sure what it means anymore. He wrote it as a young man as the band was holed away in a cabin. He wrote the lyrics by the fireplace when the guitarist Jimmy Page played the first few notes. He probably had 1000s words in his head and this was the result. Though I'm sure he understands the general theme he was addressing, some of the opaque, seemingly unrelated or confusing lyrics have taken away from the message. At the same time though, it's created discussion.

Imagine being at this concert and, of course, high.

Lol. “A band called Led Zeppelin.” They have only a few dozen good songs or so. ;) Check out Dazed and Confused or Since I’ve Been Loving you. A couple of great blues pieces. Zeppelin is one of the most musically diverse groups though. So much greatness.

Since Ive Been Loving You live.

Jimmy Page guitarist,Robert Plant lead singer,John Bonham drummer and John Paul Jones doing all the rest! JPJ can play just about any instrument. All masters at their crafts. Keep going down the Zeppelin rabbit hole...you won't be disappointed!

I think you should check out The Rain Song, probably the most beautiful and moving of all the led zep songs.

You were taken on an English folk rock and hard rock drug trip. This performance of their iconic song is from Madison Square Garden in 1973, which is documented in the film The Song Remains the Same (1976).

Robert Plant has said that his lyrics are personal, but also ambiguous because he doesn’t like to reveal too much of himself. He has said that it difficult to explain because it about something “very British”....that you would understand the references more if you were English...he says its about the Spring...life returning anew....(It’s a spring clean for the May Queen). Perhaps the most personal of the lyrics are “There’s a feeling I get, when I look to the West, and my spirit is crying for leaving”. Plant has always has a very restless spirit, and he has looked towards the west and The Sea, when his soul feels the need for leaving...

You should check out Kashmir by them as well... they have a great live orient from Knebworth in 1978... then they did it audible at Celebration Day in 2007 at O2 Arena... this urgency faired the original drummer, John Bonham's son, Jason Bonham playing drums since his father's passing in 1980 ended the band.

Dude if you thought your were in the presence of Rock gods your right! So, you might like Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You - same concert - live at Madison Square Gardens 1973 It's a lesson in how to do blues based rock😉

Great epic song.....Bohemian Rhapsody Inches it out though.....

Just like with the Beatles, you should check out all of Led Zep's songs.

Check out Led Zeppelin's 'Dazed and Confused', it's brilliant..... Trust me...!

Hi Harri. Okay, here you go... Led Zeppelin is: Robert Plant = Lead Vocals Jimmy Page = Lead Guitar John Paul Jones = Bass Guitar, Keyboards, etc. John Bonham = Drummer, Percussion, etc. John Bonham passed away, but there was a "Silver Lining," of sorts to come out of this, in that it was John Bonham's son that took over as their Drummer?! Who'd of thunk it, right?

You should try Thank you by led zeppelin. It's beautiful.

You shook me

LOTR, and a song of hope.

Good Lord you are fit.

Jimmy Page. Listen to Dazed and Confused from same Madison square garden concert. 28 min of pure genius guitar

I think the second part just deals with less material views of the world, alternative ways of seeing the world, though they are a bit vague.

Checkout Led Zepp doing 'In My Time of Dying' live. Thanks for your reactions! Subscribed. Cheers from Australia!

You should react to Heart's tribute to them at The Kennedy Honors...will blow you away!!!!

"If there are any more songs of theirs I should check out...." - well yes sir, there are. ALL of them. Start with...... Ten Years Gone In My Time of Dying (studio and live) Over the Hills and Far Away The Song Remains the Same / The Rain Song (live) Since I've Been Loving You (studio and live) For Your Life The Rover Custard Pie How Many More Times I Can't Quit You Baby No Quarter (live) Kashmir Trampled Underfoot Black Country Woman Hots on for Nowhere In the Evening I'm Gonna Crawl ....just to get started. There are 10 or more others I could easily add just to get started.

That my friends is Mr Jimmy Page. The greatest guitarist to ever grace the stage!!

Meaning? I take it from the last part. Everything turns to gold, all are one and one is all, to be a rock and not to roll...

You're going down a rabbit hole here bruv

Please react to Heart singing stairway to heaven in tribute to Led Zeppelin who is there watching at Kennedy centre...if you don’t know heart maybe react to them first so you recognize all parties. 🖖🏻🇨🇦💥🥰

If you want to get worked up, try "Black Dog" and/or "Immigrant Song". Led Zeppelin goes from blues to ballads to rock your socks off. Huge range of songs.

Hi Harri. Have you heard of The Forbidden Riff? It's from this song and is forbidden to be played in guitar stores everywhere. If you haven't heard of it, you should read about it

Harri , i won't give up . Please react to ( winter rains ) by Demis Roussos . Best wishes .

You wanna hear something good, from this same concert check out the song remains the same followed by the rain song, there made to listen to together, just found your channel here in pensacola florida

U should have not went down that rabbit hole and now you are stuck forever on led zeppelin masters of rock and roll

I'm ko for listen stairway to heaven

This Jimmy Page solo reminds me of "wait...and there is more". The best ever if you think of the tour and drugs and sharks.

All of the ladies are jealous of Mr. Robert's hair.. No one knows what this song is about; they have been asked about many times, U get different answers every week.. At the beginning of the this live version Mr. Robert states "this is a song of hope".. ♠W.G.

Classic...... Jimmy Page on guitar is a guitar god. Listen to Since Ive been Loving You.

Harri I Always admire your intelligent insightful analysis But I think you’re right it isn’t necessary that we actually figure out exactly what things mean That’s a guy thing anyway it’s just that we question things and question things it isn’t always necessary that we have an exact answer… Perhaps the question is more important than the answer….

I.think Hari.you would like Hot Dog, Fool in the Rain and No Quarter, and Hari if you're like me at all Since I Been Lovin' You Live reactors done seem to comment on the awfully screaming agony of this blues Masterpiece She made him her bitch :" you had nerve to tell me you didn't want me no more"

Robert Plant is the singer. Just an awesome combination of 4 very talented musicians. Great band - don't make em like that anymore.

I was just hoping you wouldn’t give up before it got good

Right??!??

This is not my favorite Led Zep song though I think it's a wonderful song. I know Jimmy Page said in an interview that wanted this song to start softly, gradually get louder and louder and then climate. I've always wondered if the Beatles' "A Day In the Life" had any influence on that concept.

Besides Harri that guitar solo didn’t exactly have any meaning did it Ha ha ! It was just magnificent!!

The studio version is 3,000% BETTER!!!!

Singing about a sad young woman and others.. "Though the stores are all closed, with a word she can get what she came for.". Buying drugs. Buying a stairway to Heaven. Don't feel bad. I didn't get it the first time either.

Talking about animals........John Bonham!!!!!!!!

How can you possibly mistake R.P for a girl. Shave off your beard mate and check out your sexy plaits. Girls were dying to meet that guy. How you doing 😁🙄
