Long haired guitar player is excellent. Looks like he's straight outta a time machine from 1977.
Hands down the best cover of Stairway To Heaven
that and hearts version too but this one is the most to the album version so it wins
This is an incredibly tough song to cover, need a heart of titanium to go on stage and sing it. Not everyone can do it. Congratulations
[" tough song to cover, need a heart of titanium... Not everyone can do it."] ==> (a) False. Anyone _can_ perform this song; fewer do it _well_ and _enjoyablly_ . (b) False. This is my "Other Go-To" song, after "Blinded by the Light" and "American Pie" (c) False. My heart surgeon uses Stainless Steel, not titanium.
Yep it's an extremely difficult song to pull off live and do a great job of it
Their attention to detail is insane. As a drummer, I can confirm that they have copyed John Bonham's famous snare sound, which is almost impossible. Kudos!
I my honest opinion, i think the snare could use a little more pop, It still sounds good tho.
I completely agree but the vocals just sound a little off like the pace and the tone i don't know just as a lover as the song it makes me cringe
Does anybody remember laughter?!
Papi de la Pants off my guy here is a real led zeppelin fan xD only real fans know that from the live version
Exited out of fullscreen to comment this and turns out it was already the top comment. Haha.
Who in the Hell are these guys!? Every song they do is with respect, attentive to details and absolutely on the money. I can watch and listen all day and night. Wow, just wow!
I have seen them live twice now and they reproduced all the different songs so well some of them probably better than the original artists could the lead guitarist is no longer with them but they have found an American guy who is up to the challenge can’t wait for next year to go and see them again
@@gerardoibarragonzalez7295 it is literally the name of the channel: They are called "The Classik Rock Show" :)
They are the Classic Rock show - currently touring Uk the a few date in Europe then the states. They are even better now with Pete Thorn
the singer was on fire at the end
One thing about stairway to heaven covers, there will always be haters, not to the other musicians in the band, but the singer. People ALWAYS hate the singer. If he’s original you say he’s overacting, if he sings his heart out you’d say he’s trying too hard, if he sings it too relaxed you’d say he has no soul, if he tries to sound like plant you’d say he’s a copycat. He is fine for fucks sake, he sounds great, his performance could be a lot worse you know.
If only more people had this view. A lot of talented people get trashed on because people are nitpicking.
That says more about Plant's voice than anyone other singer's quality to me.
Mustafa Ahmed that wasn’t the point actually, plenty of other songs and singers get the same treatment, one example is freddie mercury and bohemian rhapsody. I am not taking anything away from these singers I truly think they are amazing. but people need to understand that covers are meant to be renditions and not meant to sound exactly like the original. if the cover is done poorly, I understand the hatred, but this cover was not done poorly at all, even vocally. the singer sounds awesome.
Its a cover band .. they're supposed to be playing it how you know it .. the singers ok, he hits the notes, but his phrasing is all wrong .. I like my Zep sung like Percy did it .. something makes me think English is not his 1st language (and no that's not meant to be racist, just an observation). Still, Im looking forward to seeing them on the upcoming tour.
Best Stairway to Heaven cover ever!
Watch the performance on Kennedy Centre Honors ( Ann Wilson - Heart ) in front of LZ members, it is breathtaking
What a cover and what a solo performance,omfg ,it's actually mindblowing
Ladies and gentleman...that is how you cover a song! 🔥
Guitar players salute . Omg what a player
My only complaint is that there was a bit too much distortion on the solo.
Holy moly... 5:50 till the end is something beyond my appreciation...
Yes, aunque la distorsión fue muy repentina y brusca. Saludos leocmen.
This deserves a MUCH bigger applause than what it got. Amazing performance. You guys need to bring your show to South Africa. DO IT!
Audience was very muted, if I were in crowd I’d be going nuts, band deserved better ovation
years later, still the best cover on youtube.
I don't particularly like Led Zep, but I love this song and this version of it. Also, there's a cover by Heart playing it at The Kennedy Centre which is almost as good as this. Well worth a watch.
Anybody having balls enough to perform this on stage, and then be able to pull it off, has my attention. They not only pulled it off, but most likely did the best cover of this iconic hit, that has ever been done. Definitely a thumbs up performance. 5 Star rating.
The band is all great. Special props to the singer, he was able to get on the right spirit to imprint a bit of Plant but still made it his own thing. That's the best anyone can expect.
That was utterly FANTASTIC. The singer was as tremendous as the rest of the musicianship. That really made my day
There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Oh oh oh oh and she's buying a stairway to Heaven
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiving
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who standing looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon, If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow?
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Oh oh oh oh and she's buying a stairway to Heaven
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiving
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get

Ooh, it really makes me wonder

Somebody needs to pin this cause the songs about over by the time I find this in the comments. I just enjoy practicing and knowing the lyrics so it's always nice when someone feels the same and shares. Just needs to be pinned!!!
6:42 explosion of energy! Wow!
Why the hell do they stick ads in the middle of such an epic tune, just to get you to pay for premium i suppose
Bastards
That solo was just on another level of perfection.
This cover reminded me one more time that stairway to heaven is the best song ever written in the world
I love the way he sings "Our shadows taller than our souls" at 6:46
These dude's can play anything rock the guitarist is dangerous.
OMG, that SOLO!!! The guy can shred.
The most reserved clap ever. Don't they know, what they just saw was the best rendition of the masterpiece!
I usually do not have much to say about cover bands but then there is "The Classic Rock Show" and there is no doubt you all are absolutely great.
Check-out 'Leonid & Friends', a band from Ukraine, for some incredible 'Chicago' covers; or, 'Lexington Lab Band', a group from Kentucky, that covers 'Boston', 'Def Leppard' and many others equally well.
@@tombo54 Thanks. So you know I do know about the Lexington Lab Band and I do like them but they are more "Lab" than "Raw" which is good just not great. I grew up in the 60's, also a big Palu Butterfield, John Mayall, Jimmy Hendrick's, Eric Clapton (though not a fan of his stance on Covid issues) Doors and the like. That said, the flavor of "The Classic Rock Show" is more to my taste.
Finally someone who didn't screw up the begining riffs and the tempo
Love the way that the guy with the gibson plays calm like he has everything under control
James Cole plays the Gibson excellently - also musical director.
Howie G plays the twin neck Epiphone and is a genius on guitar
So beautifully done. What a voice! I can't thank enough to the other musicians. You all are equally awesome.
Very good job. There was nothing wrong with that performance. Flawless.
only real "flaw" (and it's not even a flaw really, more of a preference thing) is the lead singer mimicking the slide guitar bits towards the end of the solo. Other than that, performance was bloody astonishing.
@@dammitcarl1082 I noticed that, and after rewinding several times I wound up really liking the way he did that. I had wondered for years how that was really done, and came to terms it is what it is... yet when I heard this I was very pleased
Complete justice to of the legendary led zeppelin number.
Thank god they didn't try anything fancy , love the way this band kept the originality of the song.
This is what you call a Simple and power packed performance. WOW
Tons of good words for all the band members.
Keep rocking
A midroll ad came in right before the solo at 5:50. I've never been so mad at a midroll ad in my life.
That was mind-blowing. Words can't describe how much of a bigger applause this deserves, that performance was truly legendary lads!!!
Why hate on the singer, he hit that note like there was no tomorrow. You are prob pre judging because the way he emotes.
no, he is not powerful enough for this song. singing is more than just hitting notes...
He doesnt have to sound exactly like Robert Plant. After all its a cover and no one can cover a song exactly as it is, specially with classic hits. But still they nailed it.
this was absolutely amazing! From the solo to the end was just incredible! You guys never disappoint!
Sam808T T I remember when Heart did their cover. Everyone was saying it was amazing and when I saw it for the first time I could see why. But this cover is as good or better than Heart. Could even be as good as Led Zeppelin themselves
I'm not familiar with Heart's cover, i'll have to check it out! To be honest i've never really liked this song when it has been done live by Led Zep, only really ever listened to the studio version. So in my books this is the best live version that I've seen.
Sam808T T Heart did a cover when Led Zep were honored at the Kennedy center. The three surviving members of Led Zep were there with John Bonham's son on drums. You should watch it. They did an amazing job.
I watched it last night and it was spectacular. I think both covers are amazing in different ways- hard to chose which is better.
What a vocal !! And the solo was nicely played too
73 years young, wow, ❤️ what a fantastic group 🎸
Best cover of that iconic guitar solo by page I ever heard!
The solo is played so well!! Congrats, yet yet nobody can get the same kinda heat in their playing that JP did!!!
God in heaven the talent is endless. These guys bring me chills every time they play.
Excellent version. All the musicians in the band are fantastic. Special congratulations to the singer and Jimmy Page double guitar player, the sound was awesome. Keep working the Led Zeppelin songs!!!!
I truly believe that all four members of Led Zeppelin would be very proud, Page, Plant, Jones, and Bonham would be clapping.
So that people on planet Earth would not forget the art of rock music and the Geniuses of performers.
The vocas def make this a real treat ! Plus th great guitars and bass, but mainly the vocals, awesome!
i think the reason why people are hating on every singer that's covering stairway to heaven and other led zeppelin songs. Is because there are very few people that have such a great and special voice as robert plant. and that can be hard to beat. such a shame too because all of these people dont deserve the hate. Most of them are great singers.
Best cover ever. Period.
Damn... insane chills at the big drop, from the solo to everything just coming together so perfectly. Incredible job. Mad respect...
This. This is my safe space right here. Everytime I face hardships in live, I always open this particular video on this particular link and listen to it like 3-4 times, and it all just go away. Thank you for providing the greatest entertainment in my life.
Don't get me wrong, I also love the original. But I love this performance better.
That performance...... Holy cow! That deserved a standing ovation!! Incredible!
What are these guys talking about the cover was amazing!
I thought I would never see a band cover this song like Heart did. I was wrong. This band just continues to blow my mind and ears. Thank you for existing. COME TO AMERICA!
É o melhor cover de "Stairway to Heaven"que eu já ouvi a banda The Classic Rock Show merece muitos parabéns pela performance e de outros grande clássicos da música internacional.
Probably the second best cover of this song, first place goes to Heart’s Ann Wilson when she was at the Kennedy Honors for Led Zeppelin.
David McAninch yes totally agree. Hearts was amazing.
This is good too
@Greg Elchert That's a lie. Cited from quora:
Why does Robert Plant hate “Stairway to Heaven”?
He doesn't hate Stairway. He is , simply, tired of Stairway in particular and Zeppelin in general. As a musician, one wants to constantly evolve and grow as opposed to being a jukebox.
5.54, when he hit the bottom guitar........ GOOSEBUMPS. 🤘
I can't stop watching. You guys are all so talented!
When I first heard Stairway in 1971 on the forth album I just knew we would still be listening fifty years later.....This is an excellent performance of this classic and timeless tune....One of, if not the best rendition of Stairway is the one performed by Heart at the Kennedy centre in 2012.
He's not Plant, but as for my acknowledgement he no far behind him... You see, is hard for anyone but the original singer to perform a song as perfect as the original, but to me, this singer has proven himself at the audience clap to him (and the band) stand up in such high spirit!!!
Great cover not to many bands would have the balls to perform Led Zeppelin best song , but it’s a cover not a copy or tribute act , singer did a great job singing it His way
Also listen to Heart version on Kennedy center awards tribute to Led Zeppelin (UA-cam)
Far more than a polished cover or tribute, this absolutely captures the soul of one of the most important, impassioned songs of the last 50 years.
The crowd was asleep. I couldn't believe it. I would've been up by the stage rocking out because you all slayed that. Truly amazing job. I'm still giving a standing ovation and I listened to this 183 hours ago
i think the audience was intimidated or feeling constrained due to the cameras and cranes filming everywhere.
I was like "WHY IS NO ONE GIVING A STANDING OVATION!???"
Its England. Understandable.
I haven't felt like this in a while. Good job to this group. The rendition was minimal and to the tee, yet exerted the energy and feeling that it needed.
4:45 is when the band goes into their groove. Love his voice there.
The lead singer is such a good mixer of Chris Cornell and Steve Perry.
At 5:30 I always give a Breakfast Club type of fist in the air because its the horns of triumph, the horns of glory in those chords of D
I felt the victory, I cried. I felt the chest feeling when they ended. An orgasm of such good music.
Double neck guitarist. 2:10
Keeps it to the T. At the solo, flawless.
4:06 I was waiting for the notes.
Drummer. He does such a good job. Had a thought "Must be an honor to do the exact same motions as the greatest drummer ever.
5:08 Im sure he jumbled the last couple of hits there. Even the acoustic guitarist knows it with the small smirk
Its all good. The drummer has such a good feel for the fill ins.
WOW!!😲 Absolutely loved it! These guys pulled off something that's far from easy to do! 👏👏👏👏👏
Shooting Star outstanding vocals and guitars and drums and keyboards, damn fine musicians 🌟 congratulations guys
I’m out of words to describe how great that version was!!! Such talent!!! Absolutely unbelievable!!
Great performance and great voice.!!!
Guitar solo is perfect and note for note compared to the original studio recording. Cheers!!
Nope, at ~ 6:00 he missed important notes (the slide), I was quite disappointed but beyond that it was excellent.
@@michaelb.4362 Oh for fuck’s sake stop nitpicking. I didn’t even notice he was missing a few notes till you pointed it out.
The greatest song that was ever written. Most bands will avoid this song as it is technically very difficult to play. Kudos to these guys, they are on a hiding to nothing and as a Zeppelin fan of 50 odd years they just about nailed it. The only other cover I will listen to is Anne Wilsons. Great job guys.
I literally have tears in my eyes. My uncle Kenny was hard core country when I was growing up. But his very favorite song was stairway to heaven. He's no longer with us, he gave up the ghost in the late 80's. Stairway to heaven was played at his funeral.
bro this guys voice is literally angelical
I would love to hear Kashmir from you guys
Check out YBR band and Brody Dolyniuk and his Rock Show videos. He is amazing
holy smokes great cover , great vocaaaaaaals , great guitar everything just great
Probably one of the very few and most perfected renditions of an iconic song. Kudos to this band for religiously sticking to the original without changing anything in it. A perfect remake to a perfect masterpiece.
This is one of my favorite songs.
I think this is one of the best songs ever made
Man, that was amazing! especially the climax.. Great solo, very faithful to the original with the just right amount of tweaks.. and that powerful vocals.. Great tribute all in all.. I'm sold!
Love the singer, love the band. Amazing.
One of the best renditions I ever heard....Well done!!!
like countless others I have heard this song more times than probably any other song in my lifetime. As for the lead solo, perhaps I have rewound the tape or moved the needle back on the album to hear this solo over and over and over again to the point of exhaustion. I think it is pretty safe to say that I, like so many others have heard every little nuance of that original lead solo on the album. The way the finger applied pressure on the string behind the fret, the vibrato... the hammer ons/pull-offs.... the technique...
With all that said, this guitarist has captured the original nuances better than anyone I have ever heard play it. As for the rest of the player - just awesome. If I see these guys touring in my area I will absolutely be there
I’m 59 had Zeppelin 4 when i was 15 years old, I can’t believe how good my musical taste was at that age. On Spotify now along with ever Zeppelin album. This cover is Amazing, Band should be called sons of Jimmy, Robert john and john. When this covid crap is under control I’ll be comin to watch you guys, Awesome! ........Rock On!
You guys are incredible. Good Job!!!
Nobody can do Stairway like Zeppelin but these guys come damb close, I'd love to see The Classic Rock Show live! ❤️🤘
Absolutely stunning!
These guys are great. It´s not easy to make a live performance sound 99,9% like the original record.
To: Led Zeppelin From: The Classic Rock Show......... with Love.......from younger artists with older souls gifted with tons of talent ~ kimie
Good God, the guitarist playing the solo was this bands secret weapon. 10/10
Omg the end is just INCREDIBLE! The solo btw
Flawless beginning and an equally chilling solo...!! What a performance...!!
That solo….. the dude was born with that playing on the radio! It’s ingrained in his DNA. Absolutely nailed it
The UK is blessed to have such outstanding musicians. Saffer fan.
I remember watching Rudy sing at Disneyland. He's come a long way.
That solo guitar are pretty good.Good job guys!
I have lost count how many times I have watched or listened to this. Completely stunning and AMAZING.......
one of the very best cover of the decade. the singer is just amazing !!! the guitarist damn feels like he own it ! plus the Epiphone guitar is in his own league !!...good job to the rest of the band member.. love it so much !!
you guys are awsone , keeping shining of gold .keeping alive to all legends. you can have ur own album now
The way the guy played that solo, sounded like he'd been waiting his entire life to do that... fucking shredded it, incredible!
That is the AMAZING Howie G..... The 'G' stands for GOD! ;-)
The guitar enters with a sort of rage or fury, don't you think?! Very "nervous"
hahahahah I have tears in my eyes reading this.... but he nailed it eh ?
you should see Hendrix’s all along the watchtower 🤘🏻🎸🎶🔥
Actually almost Everyone wants to just play those magical notes of stairway to heaven
