So right !!
Check out Heart’s cover of stairway to heaven live at Led Zeppelin’s Kennedy honors. It is from a few years back now, but one of the few covers that lives up to the original.
check out since Ive been loving you by Led Zeppelin live. to see them in action. Its gonna blow your mind
Such a shame you didn't do the LIVE version at Madison Square Gardens 1973
Performing live (waaay before electronic wizardry you get to see Plant with the audience and not to be outdone Page does the joint best rock guitar solo of all time while JPJ and Bonzo conjure up the Led Zepp magic spell😉
In my Time of Dying by Led Zeppelin.
Presence album.
Drastically different from Stairway to Heaven...
This song is considered by a lot of people to be the greatest rock song of all time. Personally, I think that label fits just fine.
Truth!
It certainly is a work of art, and very accessible to people not familiar with their catalog. I love the song, definitely worth the recognition. I am a massive Led Zeppelin fan, having listened to them for 40 years. Personally songs like Kashmir, The Rain Song, and Ten Years Gone are way better.
I do love live version of Stairway to Heaven.
That's a crazy call but I concur lol
In the 80’s it was put out that this song was played on one radio station or another around the world every 12 minutes. Given the length of the song, that is pretty much continuously.
It's my all time favorite
And the song is only 51 years old 😏 Still holds up today as a masterpiece 😉
Played this song at my 49yo wife's funeral. We were high school sweethearts, married for 27 years.
Cry every time
Zeppelin is 4 men who were masters of their craft that the stars somehow aligned and let them come together. Nobody does it better.
And this song and album are from when they were arguably at the top of their powers. Absolutely epic songcraft and musicianship.
Yep, best rock album ever! 🎸😎👍
The Beatles, Queen and Pantera were likely the same, four masters and destiny wanted them to be together
One word "TOOL"
70's were the peak of instrumental confluence.
The fact that Stairway builds musically and increases in tempo was integral to the original concept. It's even clearer on a relisten. Led Zeppelin music is usually more complex that it seems on first hearing it -- they were masterful!
I turned you off because you insisted on singing over Robert!!! These reactions are supposed to be about what you're supposedly reacting to and NOT YOU!!!! Sorry, I found you obnoxious and I won't be tuning in again. ✌️
Why do people not articulate comments
The fact that and as a ...
Are all people seem too say these days
@@EnglishSaxons yeah that's something one's supposed to add to the conversation, right?
I WOULD SAY THIS IS A SLIGHTLY GREEK NAME 😁
way more complex
Yes indeed. The entire song is one slow building ascent upwards.... up the stairway if you will.... it's simply marvelous. Truly a musical treat for the soul :)
The gradual increase in tempo represents climbing a 'Stairway To Heaven". A perfect song at every level. Absolute 'masterpiece'.
It still sounds as fresh as it did the first time I heard it! Timeless classic!
I'm 65 and it's nice to see a trained vocalist appreciate the music I love :-) Gonna look for more Of Maggie's reviews.
👍💟🌹
I heard it a million times but that guitar solo still bring tears to my eyes
The live version is even better!!
Never cried to a song before this. It truly is an absolutely beautiful song.
Same, since the early 70's 🤘
Not only the greatest rock song of all time, I consider it " The National Anthem of Rock," period 🙂
I think it's only real competition for best rock song is Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.
@@stefanlaskowski6660 nice pick 😉
Maybe, maybe not. I suppose it depends on my mood but I will also suggest Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall. Then there are dark horses - Hotel California by the Eagles and ZZ Top's Sharp Dressed Man. My current mood states definitively that the greatest rock song is that classic by the Doors - Riders on the Storm.
@@Walker_Bulldog There's a boat load
of songs that can claim the title " rock anthem. " I realize that now
@@daimionhollins528 Isn't it wonderful to have such good music to select from?
This is the masterpiece of the greatest rock band ever.
This was perhaps Led Zeppelin's most popular tune. Robert Plant has one of the greatest voices in rock music history.
Vocally speaking, Stairway is probably the LEAST vocally challenging song in the entire Zeppelin catalog. She needs to hear 20 year old Plant doing live stuff... back before he trashed his voice.
@@Mr.Ekshin Correct, for example Honolulu Sep 6 1970, there is THE VOICE!!!
@@Mr.Ekshin 100% !!!
the greasted
This is the Gold Standard of rock music. :-) :-)
The true genius of this song is that from the first note to the last, the tempo continually speeds up, but it is so subtle, you don't notice it until you are completely enveloped in the journey. It's brilliant.
Yes, this is the greatest song of all time.
It’s got everything you want to hear in a rock song, and it’s perfectly executed.
Now you need to see the tribute to Led Zeplin at the Kennedy Center, Stairway to Heaven. If you do the drummer is John Bonhams son. It also is a great performance.
I agree I think you would enjoy Anne Wilson’s tribute.
Not to mention the background singing and the addition of a huge choir!
It's a truly amazing tribute !
Pleaseeee pleaseeee doooo it, You won't regret it, watch Jimi, John Paul and Robert cry about the performance is great, and the introducción by Jack Black is a thing to remember... You got to do it Magie, You are the best 🤘🤘🤘🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥🔥
She almost recreated the background singers while listening lol. This is a must :)
I mean no matter how much I like other bands and songs this truly deserves it's long label as the GOAT of all rock songs , so hard to deny no matter what💯
Stairway to Heaven has been a number one rock song for years
When I saw Led Zep in concert, Stairway to Heaven lasted for over 15 minutes--incredible experience. Totally riveting performance by the entire band.
Part of the draw of the song when it first came out for Led Zep fans was knowing what a powerhouse Robert Plant and the band as a whole were. That quiet, contemplative opening was like the itsy-bitsy spark quietly burning down a cord that you just knew was going to lead to a big explosion, you just didn't know when. By the time it came, you were wound up tighter than an E string about to snap with anticipation.
Would love to hear the 15 minute version!
I think it takes a few hundred listens before you're not distracted by everything else in the song to start realizing what an insanely great arrangement it is. So subtle up to the drum drop, then it really takes off. Little doubt in my mind why people love this song so much even if they can't articulate why.
Renee please coment MUSE next and after t zevenhonderd time you still cant compliment the Zeppelin
How about jefferson airplane white rabbit could you please put a reaction to this please
The number one song of our era. Zeppelin ruled. It was a great time for music. So many great bands back then.
... and that is why Stairway to Heaven has been one of the most well known tracks of classical rock for more than 45 years. No AutoTunes, drum synths, etc. All done with pure talent, skill.
👍
No comment says "I'm a dumb old fart" quite like feeling the need to add that there was no autotune, etc. Just talent.
@@jacksavage2205 Ah, a butthurt little kiddie without talent, are ya?
No comment says "I am an opinionated young twerp" quite like "No comment says "I'm a dumb old fart" quite like feeling the need to add that there was no autotune, etc... (blah, blah, blah)".
Just saying. Maggie obviously gets it.
I've been listening to STH for a good 45 years. Thousands of times probably. Never once did it feel old. I still love when JP's guitar solo kicks off.
This was the song that my wife wanted playing at her funeral. So you can imagine that now I have very mixed emotions when I listen to it - the joy of such a beautiful song and the memory of the worst day of my life. A powerful remembrance of this music and the sunlight blazing through the stained glass windows of the church onto her wicker coffin.
I would have wanted "Turn of the Century" by Yes for her so now I have two wonderful songs that reduce me to tears whenever I hear them :rueful smile:
Here we go ... the solo begins and suddenly I can't see.
EDIT: On a rather less 'heavy' emotional note, why has it taken this long for me to connect the Maggie Renee, whose album "Craziest Feelings" I have on my phone, to the opera singer whose reaction channel I like so much?
the greatest rock and roll band of all time. He also joined up with Allison Krause and recorded two albums, with their first 1 winning 2 grammy awards. incredible range, and a great frontman
*SO* true! "Raising Sand" is literally my favorite album of the last 20 years.
These are the true Gods of Rock and Roll
You HAD to be a teenager at a dance to appreciate the fact that this was THE "slow" and that the most important thing in your life was to find the right person to dance to this song with because it was always played at the end of the night and you know...
@Maggie:
Robert Plant: Lyrics, vocals, occasional harmonica
Jimmy Page: Electric and acoustic guitar (occasionally with a cello bow), along with occasional mandolin and theremin, also composer/producer/engineer (they did have an outside producer/engineer, but Page was inextricably involved in every aspect)
'
John Paul Jones: Bass guitar, bass pedals, organ, piano, mellotron, synthesizer, mandolin (plus many others not used in the band), secondary composer
John Bonham: Drums, drums, and more drums.
Peace.
This is the song that tenacious d's song tribute is about
One of the best Rock songs ever!
There's a great photograph of Robert Plant from back in the day. Zep was in the middle of a performance, and earlier that day there had been a wedding or something nearby where they had released doves as part of the ceremony. While The band was playing live to thousands of people, a photographer backstage snapped a pic of Robert Plant reaching out a hand, and the dove landed on it.
Dove in one hand, bottle of beer in the other, looking happy. Kezar Stadium
If this is the Greatest Rock Band Ever, then this song is Greatest Rock Song Ever! JIMMY PAGE FOREVER!!!!
I was 15 years old when this song Hit the radio. I had the privilege to grow up during the greatest music of all time. the music today is absolutely garbage
Kinda don’t know how you’d follow up the music that came out in that era. Brilliant musicians were seemingly everywhere. Occasionally, they combined and approached the genius that was Alex Zeppelin. By the time Bonham had died, bands pretty much gave up on being masters of their instruments and settled for quick-cash pop music.
Try bands like Tool, and other MJKeenan bands he fronts like Pucifer. They are good and I am old and still like them.
When gas was 35 cents a gallon and a steak dinner $2 and bach pad rent $40 a month, you could afford to chase your dream. The retailers and lessors figured that out by the 90s.
@@RideAcrossTheRiver I lived out in the country then. One time we were in my friends car, 1/2 way home and running low on fuel in a snow storm. after a night on the town. The three of us were able to scrape up 52 cents, emptying our pockets and searching on the floor of the car. The station attendant asked: “52 cents of gas, how far is that going to get you?
My friend (the driver) replied: “ 52 cents closer to home.”
Fortunately. We made it.
@@joewestern6387 Great art needs time and freedom.
The Kennedy Center Honors of 2012, which honored Led Zeppelin (among others) is a real must see. The highlight was Ann and Nancy Wilson performing a very unique version of 'Stairway to Heaven,' with a small orchestra (and chorus), which received a standing ovation from the remaining Led Zeppelin members, as well as the entire audience. I hope you make time Maggie, to view and react to it, it is a real treat.
Well said, mate!
John bonham's son played the drums that night as well. From what I understand the drum set he played on that night as well as his hat were his dad's. Ann and Nancy were always great with Heart but their cover of Stairway to Heaven brings a tear to my eye every time I watch the video
The Greatest Song of all time.
Robert Plant is still singing (marvelously, I might add). He's done two CDs with Alison Krauss.
He was heavily influenced (as were many singers of his era) by Blues.
Interesting duo but it works incredibly well. Two wonderful singers. Raising Sand is a great album, haven't heard the new one yet
@@ajlangdon78 I haven't heard the new one yet (I own the first one) either.
And won 4 Grammys!!!
Oh, as far as Blues go, I highly suggest you listen to the studio version of a Led Zeppelin song called Since I've Been Loving You.
@@JohnSmith-pn1kq sines I been loving you and dazed and confused is so underrated man
The magic of Led Zeppelin is in the ebb and flow of energy that’s like a musical roller coaster. Their ability to change direction can catch you by surprise like a judo master throwing you on your back.
I've watched many reactions to LZ's songs and that has been a regular comment by most, that they change things mid song alot, like 2 songs in one.
Well said
Sometimes Song's shouldn't end.
And should going on forever and forever and never stop
This truly is one of them....
GREATEST ROCK SONG EVER for ME!!!!! 🤯🎸🔥🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐😍😁
Great English hard rock band from the late 60's-80's. "Stairway To Heaven" is their most famous song but they have a huge library of hits such as "Good Times Bad Times", "Dazed & Confused", "Communication Breakdown", "Ramble On", "Whole Lotta Love", "Immigrant Song", "Black Dog", "Rock & Roll", "The Ocean", "Over the Hills & Far Away", "The Rain Song", "Trampled Under Foot", "Kashmir" etc.
Describing Led Zeppelin as merely a " hard rock band" is quite the understatement! Few, if any, artists/groups can come close to matching LZ's diversity of style and genre, while maintaining a signature Led Zeppelin "sound" throughout their work. More than just a rock band -- Timeless music. Timeless talent.
no "since I've been loving you"?
@@ferpiovani6837 -- I would ALWAYS include Since I've Been Loving You in any list of LZ greata!
@@debbystasinopoulou4696 no Babe I am gonna leave you? or Tangerine?
Heart tribute "Stairway to Heaven" honoring remaining members Plant, Page and JPJ, Jason Bonham on drums (surprise guest performance), Kennedy Center Honors 2012.
Phenomenal...enjoy.
This was fabulous!! ❤👍🏽
Was Amazing!!
Led Zeplin is the height of music. The goat! Please listen to more
Thank you I loved this. I bought my first album Led Zeppelin-2 when I was 14 years old back in 1969. At 67 years I'm still a big Zeppelin fan. Also, Semper Fidelis from an old Marine Corps Sergeant.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@kathymc1569 thank you, I always tell people the same thing. It was an honor to serve our great Nation and beloved Marine Corps. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.
Greatest Rock band ever.
You should react to more Led Zeppelin these dudes are genius. Next gotta be "Whole Lotta Love", "Kashmir", "Since I’ve Been Loving You", "Black Dog", "Immigrant Song", "Over The Hills and Far Away" and so many others
I want to see her react to immigrant song. I think at least part of it she'll have heard somewhere. And it will be an "oh I had no idea this was that song" moment. I love it when she realizes those moments, they always make me smile.
Four Sticks and Communication Breakdown too
❤❤🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️love me some Led Zeppelin! Legendary
The most amazing thing about Stairway is how it creeps up on you from beginning to the lead break, then grows in intensity to its peak, then just drops to the end -- leaving you HIGH and INTENSE ... going WTF!?!?
Have you seen HEART do this at The Kennedy Center Honoring LED Zepplin...? AMAZING
John's son Jason plays drums with them.
Not only does Jason play drums he plays his dad's drum kit and wears his dad's Derby hat at the Kennedy honors.
@@kurtsaxton823 bowler hat!
You REALLY need to listen to the "Battle of Evermore!"
The lyrics will shed light on the influence LOTR had on the band.
Jimmy Page should have been the music director.
Also, "Ramble On."
despite what Plant says Stairway to Heaven is also about the LOTR
Yes it’s the companion song that leads into stairway on the album
Led Zeppelin Song Baby I’m gonna leave you is a must listen 😮
Fun reaction because I'm 63. I was a teenager when this came out; so throughout the whole intro, I knew what was coming. All good wishes.
This song is so complex and unique and that's why it's one of the greatest rock songs of all time. These guys were firing on all cylinders when this came out in 71.
Maggie,.if you want to hear Plant's vocals on "Since I been Loving You", LIVE at MSG.
Jaw dropping.
The work of genius is what got you here!
The tempo changes are part of what makes this possibly the greatest rock song of all time.
Heart did this song for them at the Kennedy Center and brought a tear to Robert Plants eye and Jimmy Page was smiling ear to ear...A definite must see...In fact I am gonna go watch it now.
yes it was epic!
Oh, the hours I spent as a teen in my room listening to this song.........
I have watched and listened to about 10 'reactions' videos to Stairway to Heaven. This is the song I would take with me. It is so complex, the musicality is so good, the voice, the guitar riff, change in cadence. It is just genius performed by highly talented muscians - it make me tear up every time I listen to it. And I love watching others react - usually with awe....To really appreciate it you need a nice soft chair, a dark warm room and silence. Close your eyes - and just listen with the volume a little too high......
Stairway to Heaven, isn't a deep song like people think. Plant and Page were sitting in the back of an old castle Page had bought. They were getting stoned and realized that the spiral staircase in the back was broken and just went up in the air. They said it's a stairway to Heaven. They laughed and they could hear their echo in the forest behind the castle. Basically it was written while they were high and put works together to express their thoughts while being stoned. The part about the lady. It was Plants girlfriend. She was underage, that's where the phrase the may queen was put in. Which is a phrase used for a girl hitting puberty.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. The guitar is legendary. Many, many of us grew up playing "air guitar" to this one.Thank you for listening!
This is a master piece of all the times. One of many…
WOW... found by accident and NOW after watching how you dig your 1st Led Zeppelin i MUST now go watch where you're going to hear Whole Lotta Love!!!
This is why I can say I am lucky that have grown up during the 60's/70's immersed in the best music in human history.
I'm a led zep fan but the best music in history have been written 300 years ago and it's called Johannes Sebastian Bach
@@winterwinds808 Not the greatest outside that genre.
@@protonneutron9046 Bach created western music. He is called the father of music. Jazz bands learn Bach, the Beatles and all major modern bands try to learn 1% of Bach. For the fun, just listen to toccata and fugue by Bach played in 1700s. It's rock and roll :). Je mastered everything in music. Bach is not only considere as the greatest composer of all time but as the greatest mind known in western history.
@@winterwinds808 Actually the Gregorian chant was the beginning. But keep practicing with Google. But a formal education is superior to using Google. Also first is not equal to best. Nice Straw man attempt though
@@protonneutron9046 don't understand what you try to say.about education. I listen to ledzep since kid and Bach since some years now. The only Google I see here is your answer. You said nothing but talking about Gregorian chants. It is as empty as a key word you put on search bar. You should read more. All source of knowledge is good as soon as you have the intellectual ability to process it.
Omg, you gotta listen to since I’ve been loving you off Led Zeppelin 3 . You’ll see what kind of range he has. It’s amazing
Jimmy Page one of the very very best guitarists who ever lived👍👍👍.and this great song one of the very very best songs ever too🎵👍👍👍
My 6th grade (and 7th and 8th grade) choir teacher (in the 70s) was a hippie and one of songs we did was Stairway. She never played the zep version to us.
So funny when I went home and my older sisters (high school)friends were shocked a 6th grade knew all the words (and they didnt).
The most played song on radio right through the 70's and 80's....for good reason! 🤘
Led Zeppelin is a group of my youth and to me personally, the favorite ever. The legendary Robert Plant and Jimmy Page took us straight to heaven. This time, my favorite commentator, Maggie Renee, helped them with that. Thanks Maggie, I wish there was more of that in the future. It is worth recalling these legends.
It’s a joy to see new reactions to very old songs like this. It was recorded Springtime 1971 and released November that year, when I was 17 years old. I can’t believe it’s over 50 years ago!! Thank you Maggie. Please do more Zeppelin when you can. Best Wishes from 🏴 England.
Back in the day, we listened to music differently. Because you all have a 24/7 mind where everything floods in, you don’t seem to have as much imagination. We literally dissolved into what we were listening to! And a sort of fantasy film went on in our minds, not really a film, but we were much more involved in the music, than you seem to be today.
Keep in mind, a huge chunk of your audience has heard that song 100 to 500 times.
Check out the best tribute ever when Ann and Nancy Wilson (Heart) performed this live at the Kennedy Center Honors for Led Zeppelin, and they performed it in front of the band. You will be amazed :)
@Maggie Reneé you should check out the cover of this song that the band Heart did at the Kennedy center Honors in 2012, it's an amazing cover.
It was an amazing tribute. There is a difference.
Absolutely! I was skeptical even with the Wilson sisters talent but it turned out to be one of my fave covers if not my #1 fave.
It was a truly amazing tribute. The Wilson sisters really knocked it out of the park. It was a fantastic cover tribute to Led Zeppelin.
Would love to hear you react to Heart's cover.
@@wallyran it's completely disrespecting Heart and Zeppelin calling it a cover. A cover is when one artist puts another artist song on their album. This is a tribute, seeing that the original artist is sitting in the audience being honored for their body of work. Heart calls it a tribute, Zeppelin takes it as a tribute. Call it what it is because anything less is just a slap in the face.
There is so much Led Zeppelin out there for you to learn about.
It will certainly open your eyes.
"To be a rock and not to roll." Wow. Wisdom of the ages. Nearly as deep as, "Inna-gadda-da-vida, baby."
The greatest song ever recorded. All apologies to Tenacious D's "Tribute", of course.
To be fair, theirs was not the greatest song in the world, it was just a tribute. It might have been Stairway they played for all we or they know
"The greatest song in the world's tribute" is precisely tribute to Stairway... - the greatest song.
Hey, don't dis Tribute. Now that was a truly awesome song. The awesomest in history.
I love how you can't decide if you are playing air guitar, air piano, or air drums
so very, very nice to be able to share this amazing music with someone who's never heard it before.!!
I was 14 when this was released in the final version in 1973 began to play on Top 40. It totally blew me away. This is such a masterly crafted an enveloping song, I thought this must the greatest rock composition/execution of all time. I still feel that way when I'm listening almost 50 years later!
Oh Jeeez! THOSE were the DAYZ!!
I remember hearing Robert Plant thinks the studio version of Since I’ve Been Loving You is his best vocal performance.
"Never change the tempo" just doesn't apply to this piece. There's so much going on with it that it's useless to even try to point it out. I will only say one thing about John Bonham's drumming in this piece - the piece goes nowhere without his power and timing. Just fabulous. It's no wonder they could not continue on without him.
Bonzo, the Hammer of the Gods!
Love your name!
The anthem of my generation.
The first time I heard Stairway I was in a park with a girl we listened to it on the radio it is a memory I will never forget.
The girl I would like to forget! LOL
Bless your heart. You have a long way to go to understanding the fullness of the actual music of this song, the lyrics, and the vocal symphony. It's on another level of anything you can comprehend at this time. Keep rising and learning!
Now you need to SEE from Kennedy center Heart's rendition (with Bohnam's son on drums) - which is great not only as a new arrangement and performance but also for the living Led Zeps' reactions to it. Jimmy Page had grown to hate the song over the years (understandable reasons though not shared the sentiment) but said Anne Wilson made him like it again.
you should do more zeppelin, they were all MASTERFUL musicians
I cant believe you'd react after one verse..this song elevates young lady..
Hey Maggie! You have a deep appreciation for one of the UKs best bands.
Maggie, live versions of "Stairway to Heaven" are much longer. The one from "The Song Remains the Same" is the one most reactors pick.
As others have said, the Heart cover of "Stairway to Heaven" for the Kennedy Center is worth checking out. It's one of the best covers ever done. Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart are both huge Led Zeppelin fans. They would cover some of Led Zeppelin's songs in concert.
"Does anyone remember laughter?"
Unfortunately the live version from Song Remains the Same isn’t very good. Jimmy fumbles the solo and Robert fumbles the song’s end completely destroying the vibe.
One of the many aspects of this song that I love is, there's no chorus. 🔥🤘🏽
The live concert versions really are the best they really go off, so good
"How did we get here?" THAT is exactly why this song is a classic and so loved, for the journey it takes it you on.
Hello from New Hampshire Beautiful young lady!! I know that you would enjoy Heart's version of this song!! 😎🤘❤🔥🎸🎧🎙.. Great Reaction!!!
Hey Maggie, given your recent Tenacious D reaction, "...the peculiar thing is this my friends, the song we sang on that fateful night, it didn't actually sound anything like this song!"
Because many think it was actually _this_ song they sang, considered by many to be the truly greatest song in the world, for which the other song was "just a tribute." 😎
Your reaction about when did we get here(the end) from the quiet start is funny, because this song does build up from the start. First it's simple, then guitars kick in, then drums kick in, then things start to rock. I think, especially on a first listen all the way through, that it almost happens subliminally. It all adds up before you realize how much is being added.
Mission complete... "Wait, how did we get HERE from 'there's a lady who shows...'"
You hit it on the head!
Totally want to see you react to the live version now. Gotta see the swagger and flair Robert brings live.
Recorders :) This song came out about the same time that fantasy became widely popular with English-speaking youth: Tolkien's Ring trilogy and The Hobbit, Roger Zelazny, and when Dungeon's and Dragons became more mainstream. The use of Medieval/Renaissance textures in music of the early 70s, was a part of the fantasy-themes music. Check out early Jethro Tull: Thick as a Brick, Aqualung ("up to me"), or Minstrel in the Gallery (Ian Anderson's costuming in live shows). The entire song is an extended creascendo. THink of it as an extemded "Mannheim Roller." :) Thanks for the reaction!
That reaction is why this is one of 5e most well known rock songs ever made!
