Robert Plant sings Stairway To Heaven for the first time in 16 years

About this version

Some drum parts make sense on paper and still feel odd under your hands. This version is for closing that gap a bit faster.

Useful for

working on groove and feel

Useful for

cleaning up fills and transitions

Useful for

repeating the section before the section that usually goes wrong

A simple way in

A version for hearing the groove, fills, and transitions more clearly while keeping the shape of the original song intact.

Start with the tricky section, not the whole song. A few good repetitions usually tell you more than one rushed pass from top to bottom.

Once it feels settled, go back to the full arrangement and check whether it still holds together. That is usually where the real answer is.

Notes

The event, which happened at Soho Farmhouse near Chipping Norton, was organised by former Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor, who is currently battling stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer, with all proceeds going to The Cancer Awareness Trust. Robert Plant and Andy Taylor were joined by Whitesnake’s Dino Jelusick, Rod Stewart’s drummer David Palmer, Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets bassist Guy Pratt, former Reef guitarist Kenwyn House, singer Anne Rani, and Andy Taylor’s son Andrew. The performance occurred after an anonymous bidder donated a six-figure-sum to The Cancer Awareness Trust, and requested that Plant perform the iconic Led Zep tune, to which Plant agreed. It marks his first time performing the song in 16 years.
