3 senior gents, moved to tears by their own song

I'm no Zeppelin fan but credit where credit is due that is a great, timeless song.
Ann & Nancy Wilson are a class act.
Must have been especially poignant for Robert, Jimmy & John to have Jason Bonham on stage playing his fathers old kit too.

Even a cynical old sod like me got a bit misty eyed watching that.

Anne's still got some pipes on her but I wish she'd have taken her coat off, looked like she had a bus to catch or something ;) On another note, is it just me or is Plant starting to look a bit like the bloke who was Hitler in 'Downfall' ?

Sometimes liking a particular bit of music just doesn't matter. This video is worth watching just to see the connection that music can make between people.

You my friend have the whole thing in a big ol bag. That is EXACTLY what it's all about. Perfectly put. Salut.

Amazing version. Never seen that clip before, thanks.
I don't get why people don't like Stairway, Led Zep have done dozens of amazing songs, and I think Stairway is up there with the best. I can only assume its because its been heard so many times and become a bit stereotypical of air guitar rock, but if you forget about all that and listen to it intensely it is a beautiful song..

Just superb.

It takes a lot of courage to perform such an iconic song in front of the masters themselves and to see all three of them touched in such a way speaks volumes. A job well done by all involved.

Thanks for posting.

I'll be the dissenter, then. :)

I've watched it a few times. Yeah, the display of emotion is nice, but I just don't like the arrangement. It's too overblown.

Oh, and if the Led Zeppelins - or anyone who covers this song - is reading this... FINISH THE SONG ON THE SOLO VOCAL!

It doesn't need the usual tag on the end. I wish people wouldn't do it. Yes, even you, Led Zeppelins.

+1, thought it was great and took real guts to do it.
