The joy of this exchange is that I KNOW you will all hopefully be as old as me one day AND hopefully enjoying life just as much.:good:

And I hope you are correct, but we will not have to own up to some of the things that you have admitted to enjoying!:w00t:

I have a rare bootleg recording of Led Zep playing "Suffolks Greatest Gig" at St Matthews Baths Ipswich in 1971. They boarded over the swimming pool. One of the first times they played stairway to heaven live.    NB

Interesting rendition of Stairway to Heaven with Jason Bonham (John's son) on the drums.....

 

I'm a bit of a Led Zep purist so it was a difficult listen/watch at first, especially because the composition rushed through and omitted some of the transitions and fills - like when you hear someone sing a song to themselves and they don't leave enough beats between bars but rush on to the next line...

However the talent involved can't be called in to question!  A very emotional performance and, as a piece in its own right, excellent.  The orchestra and choir certainly added a new dimension.

When the crescendo of the lead guitar part kicked in I could see Jimmy Page wishing he was down there on stage to boot that guy out of the way and light the amps up!!
