NAME THE ONLY TIME IT HAS BEEN PLAYED SINCE. YEAR AND COUNTRY. Page and Plant did an abbreviated acoustic version that appeared on a Japanese TV show hosted by Hiroshi Kume in 1994. Readily available on YouTube -- it's actually pretty good, but no solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve The Lemon Sauer Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I just wrote about that on its anniversary last week. You can read it here and sign up for mailings there while you're at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nirvana Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I doubt you'll hear Stairway at the O2....Robert is pretty firm about not singing it. Jimmy may do an abbreviated solo of S2H like he did a couple of times during the P/P Tours. I'd rather hear Achilles Last Stand anyway.

Steve The Lemon Sauer Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Robert said "...after you sing Stairway to much, it starts to lose its meaning" or something like that. Sure, take that quote at face value. He sang it three times between 1985 and 1994. He sang it zero times in the next period of that length. If he sings it once in 2007, you're telling me that's too much? Every time Led Zeppelin has reunited in front of a paying audience, Stairway was there. Absolutely, it will happen this year.

Honeydripper Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 (edited) I love Stairway to Heaven, he may sing it,knowing so many new fans have not heard it sung by Led Zeppelin. And they never will......the use of the name Led Zeppelin at the 02 arena is homage to Ahmet Ertegun....nothing more. The truth is that it's a reunion of Page, Plant, and JPJ....not Led Zeppelin. No Bonzo = no Zep. Edited November 22, 2007 by Honeydripper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trashbag Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 On the DVD performance, what occured during Jimmy's solo?( you probably wont know this) More specifically, he broke the B string. Even so, Page had that particular mistake fixed up on the DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy may do an abbreviated solo of S2H like he did a couple of times during the P/P Tours. I'd rather hear Achilles Last Stand anyway. I think it's an absolute guarantee that they will play Stairway, especially since it's for charity and the tickets were quite expensive (not to mention travel expenses for many fans going).

The truth is that it's a reunion of Page, Plant, and JPJ....not Led Zeppelin. No Bonzo = no Zep. I agree, with that, Zeppelin ceased to exist the day the greatest rock drummer in history "John Henry Bonham" passed away, however having watched Jason Bonham live with Page in '88' he is the closest they can get!!!

guitarmy Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I have a feeling that is Robert intends to make this his last show with the boys then they will do Stairway one last time. But if they might tour, I think they might hold off for now on Stairway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) I saw on ShowBiz a TV interview of Page recently and the interviewer said there playing Stairway at the O2!! Edited November 30, 2007 by Robby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeZep Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 There is no doubt they will play "Stairway", I'll even bet that RP will come out with "does anybody remember laughter?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
