Original version of Stairway to Heaven
    #7777003 -

Ask a thousand people chosen at random to name a Led Zeppelin song and odds are you'll get more people answering "Stairway to Heaven" than any other. It's a little known fact, though, that the song most people would recognize as having been performed by Led Zeppelin was actually a Beatles tune. Led Zep's cover of the song is the one that most people are familiar with, though.

Here's the Beatnix (a Beatles tribute band) performing the song as it was originally written, before those heavy metal hooligans wreaked their Zeppelinish havoc on it --

Stairway to Heaven is a Beatle's Song? Did I read that right? A Lennon/McCartney spiel? The Beatle's wrote it, but never recorded it? Sources?

YOU MAY HAVE BLEW MY MIND FOR THE WEEK, AND I DROPPED ACID YESTERDAY.

:lol:

Very cool post. Very cool.

Yeah I'm really scratching my head here... that's quite a shocker if that's not a fake. Zeppelin's is sooooooo much better.

Zeppelin wrote the song, not the Beatles.

"This comes from the Australian TV comedy show “the Money or the Gun” hosted by a funny bloke called Andrew Denton.

Each week he closed the show with a cover of stairway to heaven in a different genre by many of the popular artists at the time, about 25 all told."

The Beatnix were just one of many bands who played this song on the show.

I was gonna say! Mind reconstituted, just add water! Anyway, this moment reminded me the speech Q gave Picard on "All Good Things...", the last episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. For a split second my mind was open to all possibilities, all paradoxes.

Thanks, Phred!

Shroomery, keep on blowing my mind-dick!:thumbup:

I prefer this version:
