Honoring One Of The Greatest Rock Song Ever Composed, Brought Everyone To Tears

He Wrote One Of The Most Well Known Songs Of All Time. This Rendition Brought Even Him To Tears.

Even the most unlikely fans were moved to tears during this incredible performance. Honoring Led Zeppelin, and one of the most brilliantly composed songs ever written, Heart covers the classic “Stairway To Heaven”. Heart’s performance is unlike any other performance you have ever seen in their rendition of this memorable song. Watching it will not only give you goosebumps but it will also be extremely moving.

Ann and Nancy honored the band and the song by pairing it with a brilliant orchestra and choir in the background as the song intensified in beat. This song was originally released in 1971 and composed by guitarist Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. Many have called it the greatest rock song of all time. It has been voted number three on the list of 100 Greatest Rock Songs.

It is estimated to have over 2.8 million radio station plays which played back to back would run for 44 years straight. Seeing Robert Plant himself being brought to tears over this rendition makes it all the more incredibly moving. What a tremendous performance!

The_Piper wrote:I never read anything about it and don't know the politics of the band, but David Gilmour was wrong. They were good enough for The Final Cut. What great Floyd albums came after it? I never got into their later stuff or their early stuff, I like Roger Waters.

Good enough for Roger Waters but not for David Gilmore. The trouble was that Waters got into a rut and only wanted Pink Floyd to do his music which if you listen to The Wall, The Final Cut, and Waters' first solo effort The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking was becoming more than just repetitive. The Wall was a masterpiece but you can only milk that kind of success for so long, and Pink Floyd being Pink Floyd repetition was not what was expected nor was it appreciated.

Roger Waters only wanted to do his own songs and then threatened to sue Richard Wright for not contributing creatively to the band enough so he quit. Then Waters cut David Gilmour out of the production of The Final Cut and then after ruining Pink Floyd himself declared that Pink Floyd was spent creatively.

I'm not a fan of Roger Waters after his ego took over and he began considering himself Pink Floyd.

That's interesting. I've never heard "Pros and Cons", I never heard anything about the internal strife of the band, I just know that I like The Final Cut. Those are good songs.
Didn't they have another couple of albums after The Final Cut? The one with Learning to Fly and I thought there was another one.
