kinkymacwhirter Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Stairway was announced the UKs favourite rock song on some poll so that's nice! Here's one: the song's been done live countless times but what show dyou think was the pinnacle of a live performance of stairway? http://www.geeks.co.uk/20722-stairway-tops-uk-rock-favourites-poll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowinman Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Probably too obvious an answer, but The Song Remains the Same version will always be my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pblaster Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 The one from the BBC Sessions (4/1/71) is one of my faves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetredwine Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Probably too obvious an answer, but The Song Remains the Same version will always be my favorite. yeah, that must be my cousin's favorite too, because after I made two consecutive posts to this forum Buon Anniversario a tutti dalla "Santa Maria del Terzo Millennio alle Tre Fontane" ! she wrote "Buonanotte a tutti con Starway to Heaven" on her Facebook page ... and she hasn't written anything more since that day! some people just don't like change, I guess ...

tom kid Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Well I am going to start off here by dissecting the song.... But, one of Jimmy's best solos for this song was IMO from the otherwise mostly dismal Seattle '77 show. I'm also quite partial to '75 versions of the song, although Robert's vocals can be a little rough. 2-12-75 springs to mind, as well as 3-14-75.

tom kid Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 AGREED. TOTALLY UNDERRATED. I wouldn't say that this version was underrated by any stretch of the imagination. I'd imagine most Zeppelin fans who are yet to discover bootlegs would name this as their top version of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunacy Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 1. BBC Sessions 2. HTWWW 3. The Song Remains The Same 4. Earls Court 75' (Didn't like how Robert sang the last verse) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea41 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 The best STH live solo for me is indeed the "The Song Remains The Same" version. Page is just so fluid and tasty, totally improvising like a madman, almost inhuman (same with all Page's solos on TSRTS live, he was at his peak in 1973). Another really great and unique STH solo is the one from Knebworth 11/4/79 (the good night, not the 11th). The BBC Sessions STH solo is also really good but very short.

tom kid Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 4. Earls Court 75' (Didn't like how Robert sang the last verse) I have no idea why Jimmy didn't pick the 24th for the DVD, far superior to the 25th and he doesn't break a string at the end like he did on the 25th.

namregoob Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 TSRTS. Persy was still in good vocal health. Try holding a high C for eight seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lead ballon Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 This is a cover version, but I can't help but post this here. This is a topic for versions of Stairway after all. Just so happens that this version isn't by Led Zeppelin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
