if you don't hear the intro to Stairway at all about a minute into this clip from 6 years before LZ4 you really need to get your hearing checked. |
I wasnt aware of this, but then again im not that much of a Zeppelin fan. I will, however, check Spirit out further, cause if they were good enough to influence a musician such as Robert Plant, they can't be bad.
