Re: stairway to heaven

I have a CD from a show broadcast here a few years back (1990 ish) called The Money or the Gun where there was a guest band each week; the difference was that they were only allowed one song - Stairway to Heaven.

Brilliant idea which came up with some wonderful versions - as examples:





It revived Rolf Harris's career too with his version (perhaps not a good thing)

Yes, great. Only criticism would have been to have a longer guitar solo with a different guitarist who could have nailed it.

I didn’t like it, for me it has to be Led Zeppelin always.

I understand. But as a tribute I thought it was pretty powerful.... hell, even Jonesy cracked a smile! Robert was clearly moved as was Pagey. Ann has a lot of soul and strength. And Nancy, well, she just has to smile for me !

Re: stairway to heaven

It's always a good thing to celebrate a classic recording. Rolf Harris ruined it of course.

This is a 'hair metal' version of the song from 1985. A big hit in that year featuring members of Toto and Foreigner amongst others.

Wow, very interesting. I think my fave part was Bobby singing the last verse. He was incredible in Toto.
