i would like to point out that Page used a 12 string during the intro part. Just saying... still good though.
@@davidmiller9485 yeah, everyone knows that - but no one cares. This was terrific.
POWER
@@davidmiller9485 Page did not used a 12 string for the intro part.
I've heard countless versions of this song and this is the best by a mile, well done guys and gals!!👍🇺🇲🏴🏴🎸
I'm 70 and I'm flipping out over their musicianship and perfection ! I would pay money to see these guys over and over !
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Brilliantly done. Not and easy song to perform.
I’m “only” 65. But, to watch and listen to the music I grew up listening to by such talented musicians and artists is such fun!! Love you guys!
I’m 63 when and where will you be playing
I’m with you bro!!
Someone tell me why this group isn't the most popular thing on KZhead because this was nothing short of amazing!
Very kind of you, thank you!!
Agreed100
I’ve said that too over and over and over again. This band gives the younger generation who are interested in our era of music a chance to see and hear what our music sounded like when we saw the original artists performing their material. The LLB is the only band that’s covers it ALL with perfection in every single aspect, note and beat. Instead of looking up the original artists to cover a song or just listen, I lookup these guys instead. What more can I tell you ?
Hey KZhead….. it’s 2023 for GOD sakes…… put a damn LOVE button ❤ on here!! Like is not good enough for these guys!!!
❤
This band is five steps above any cover band I've seen or heard. Easy to say the best I've ever heard !! Rock on !!!👏👏👏
Five giant steps!
Robert Plant, Ann Wilson and now Jessica McKenney great job all of you
well said! - took the thought out of my head and placed it in print!
Just when I think LLB can’t get more badarse…you go and get more badarse!
I am 62,I am not a musician but I am a music lover and you sound so amazing so tight just fantastic!
That song is better than most of today’s new music.
HOW DO YOU SPELL PERFECT? Go no further than LLB. Stairway To Heaven is impossible to cover, but LLB does it with ease and a lot of class!
Sometimes I don't understand how you guys don't have millions subscriber.... Amazing content you have here, very talented musicians...hands down..
This ranks up there with the Heart version at the Kennedy Center. When it's done with the right passion, its genius comes through.
Yes indeed! Did you see the expression on Robert Plant's face as Heart performed? I'm sure he would be just as awestruck at this performance.
I was thinking exactly the same. In fact, right after this, I went to the Heart version. The choir at the end of the Heart version was the difference maker.
You are absolutely right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are PERFECTION !!!!!!
Better than ...
I thought your guitars were better than the Heart version!!!!
Just listened to this for the umpteenth time and it just struck me how good Jessica really is. The inflections are right on as well as the pitch. No autotune here just pure talent
You guys have a TRUE GEM, Don't let her get away!! Keep having fun Jessica!!
I am blown away. Close my eyes and its almost Robert plant
I agree. Jessica you have a awesome voice.
She may be great just not for this song 🤷🏻♂️
I must confess! I’m addicted to LLB ! There , I have said it! One cover leads to another and another. Your tight musical performances and execution of vocals that I have never heard from any other cover band just blows my 67 year old mind.
It doesn't get any better than this! The guitar riffs, the flutes , the drums , the solo......you guys are awesome!!!!!
And the 12-string SG!
I feel something special from my soul with this play
@@odysseynz you sound great and she has beautiful voice
And female voice of course. Fits perfectly. Just awesome.
Perfection !!!! They nailed it !!! Gives me goosebumps !!!!!
I've heard this tune a thousand times. This was like hearing it for the first time.
Jessica's LZ vocals are straight from her soul. You can hear and feel the passion in her voice.
POWER
she needs to be higher in the mix - she is a little lost under the backing music, particularly the flutes. Also closed-captions, PLEASE. Like to 'read' the lyrics with bad ears...
The vocalist brought tears to my eyes. Amazing!!!
From now on… Anytime someone wants to cover Stairway to Heaven, THIS IS HOW YOU COVER IT!!! Excellent finger-picked acoustic, Vandee; loved the flutes; Randy’s bass was perfection, and Ryan was making Bonzo smile down on him, but Roger REALLY upped his game with that blistering solo with Jim backing him on the 12/6! But Jessica… oh Jessica, Ann Wilson has never sounded better when she sings this! (Not to leave Austin out, but JPJ never got the credit he deserved on keyboards, either). Whew! Did I miss anyone?
Sitting here shaking my head in amazement of how amazing that performance was. I'm 64 and have never heard that song sound so powerful and strong. Bravo 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Check out the Anne Wilson cover at Kennedy Center.
The haunting beauty of Jessica's voice is mesmerizing.
Nicely done ✅
I think her voice is better than Robert Plant's.
Agreed! And, as such, still think the vocals level needs to be increased. Am I the only one who feels that way?
Agree, Jessica’s voice need a little more in the mix volume. I thoroughly enjoy watching Jessica totally immersed in the music to her very soul. I think I actually enjoy llb version more than the lz original. Certainly better acoustic quality.
@@eriklindhurst5793...yes easily.
This should have 10 million views. Stellar performance from everyone!
It’s nice to see the younger generation play this music; and do it so well.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You ALL nailed it! Jessica, WOW!
For this song, this is the most precision cover I've ever heard. Absolutely stunning.
from 6:44 her vocal kicked in. I cried with tears which was same as when I listened the original song for the first time.
I’m speechless.. this was an off the scale brilliant take on a brilliant song . Each and every band member here were note perfect and the vocals totally outstanding . Take a bow guys 👏👏👏👏👏🎶🎵👏👌👌❤️🙏
This is up there with Ann Wilson's!!! Thanks!!! This band rocks 😈😈😈
Whenever I see Roger in the lineup, I know we are going to get a flawless solo. The flutes are a nice detail. And of course Jessica's vocals are fantastic.
Vocalist sent chills down my spine. Entire band was superb! I’m a better person after experiencing this cover. Thanks.
I have never heard the guitar sound dialed in so perfectly (or played as perfectly) as in that final electric lead....but amazing across the board -- singer, drums, bass, flute and the many guitars.
That lead guitar tone!!! That's some face-melting awesomeness right there.
WOW. Totally amazing. What a tribute of a legend. My hats off to you all. I'm in awe
Dang…guitar riff gave me a chill…Jessica on the high part is exceptional….drums …flutes….as always ….loved to listen LLB…
My favorite thing about excellent covers is hearing the performers passion for the original. It adds a new dimension without disrespecting the original artist.
Wow, what a fantastic cover of this Led Zeppelin classic! One of those songs that send chills through your body as it plays....
Think of all the money spent on albums we could have saved by waiting for LLB. This one is spectacular!
Her voice is second to none......awesome voice ❤❤❤
Wow! Superb vocal, beautiful guitar playing. LLB scored bigtime on this cover.
You know the part, at the Kennedy Center Honors, when Robert started to cry? Yeah, that's when it happened here.
I'd like to hear Jessica perform "The great Gig in the Sky" by Pink Floyd. What a voice !
Every time I play this - EVERY TIME - I wind up putting down whatever I'm doing and just sit back and take it in. And it changes my day. There's magic here that I do not have words for. Other than THANK YOU LLB.
2 years late to the party but I’m celebrating having found this incredible band. Brilliant just brilliant
The level of musical talent in these videos is unbelieveable. I wish they toured more... some of the best music I have ever heard.
I must strongly disagree regarding LLB and touring. LLB , in my opinion, will always do the best for themselves and for their ever increasing following, by staying right where they are there in Kentucky, working out of their newly built facility within their own local territory. THe Lexington Lab Band is one of a kind on this planet. If you study them closely, you will understand that they are unique, unlike any other band that ever has been, is, or likely, ever will be. Just my opinion.
I can't imagine the amount of work you guys put in and the attention to detail to recreate the original artists sound. Perfection! You guys sound great!
Jessica is spot on with the vocals----amazing!!! LLB rocks!!!!
I appreciate the dedication you displayed in having actual flutes instead of someone playing a Mellotron. :)
After watching several of your covers, i would prefer to see you guys in a full concert ahead of any other band today! Absolutely Fantastic!
I'm amazed that you guys went that extra mile and got the flutes for the beginning of the song, unlike other cover bands that I've heard do this song
Agreed. All FOUR of them, including a bass flute! Attention to detail to excel in their music - that's LLB!
When she opens those pipes I got goose bumps!
There's a shocker!!! Jessica killing it AGAIN!!!!!
She is so good.
I'm not the biggest Zepplin fan, but you all absolutely crushed this! Your channel makes me happy.
Jessica might be one of the few women on this planet who can take on Robert Plant's role and do justice to one of the most difficult and awesome rock anthems in history. The musicians make this "so called" cover a real treasure just like the original.
She Absolutely Rocks this song
Ann Wilson
She stepped into that role and had the talent and confidence to "nail it"! Amazing.
Jessica, you nailed that vocal again. Magical. I am reminded once again that Robert Plant was a once in a lifetime talent. Thanks for covering this GREAT song LLB.
The thing about LLB is that they cover iconic songs and are faithful to the original studio versions using modern recording technology, so the end result is way better than the original version recorded with 60s - 90s technology, plus I LOVE watching musicians perform and seeing them in HD video! This version of Stairway to Heaven is PURE GOLD!!! Thanks, LLB!!!
I've never seen an assortment of talent put so much effort to perform the best songs of modern times so flawlessly... and they do. A lot of dedication and love of music goes into this and I cannot stop listening. I love you guys...
One word - AWESOME!
Her high power range is her pocket. That was delightful!
Words fail me ... for how outstanding this is musically, vocally & mixing. Just woah!!! 😊😎💯
I am stunned. Genuine. Authentic. Down to the sound of the 1275 12-string. And after Heart's Kennedy Center performance, you really WANT a female singer!
One of the best covers of one of the best songs ever written. That young lady captured the moodiness of the piece without sacrificing its teeth in the song's climax. She's a true artist, as are you all. Brilliant job, truly.
Brilliant, you guys are awesome, best wishes from Wales
She's got great pipes!! Lots of emotion and power. Backing musicians all excellent. Just super.
WOW! You guys knocked it out of the park once again. Excellent performance from Jessica!
That grove that comes in after the guitar solo gave me chills.
the groove too 😁
Haves me shivers all the way through. Wonderful And yet again my favourite drummer. All the drummers you ever use are stellar but this guy is so so solid and on the money
It’s a mix that melts together, it’s professionals I realize it, but it’s so amazingly extravagant, absolutely leaves me speechless
The playing and singing put me in a zone that was out of this world. It was mesmerizing and uplifting. The quality of sound, timing and hitting/accenting the notes was outstanding!
Rock is a state of mind rather than simply age of the listener.
You can see and feel the joy in playing this song with all musicians in this band.
This is magical, every part of the production is on point. Bravo LLB!
It does not get better than this! Amazing.
I'm liking all of this stuff; I'm particularly digging the drummer, whose left hand creates a very satisfying thwack. And he's always deeply in the pocket.
Jessica's voice is so beautiful
Gave me a flash back . Even the part when the add cut the song off . Felt like the 70’s when my 8 track would change tracks ! Awesome Job LLB 😂😂😂😂
What a fantastic version of this classic song!
Finest American Cover Band or Collective. Just doesn't get any better than this. Cover Bands, listen and weep.
Dang she can belt out some Zeppelin, so awesome! I listen to a whole big ole playlist of yours quite often. The range, variety and tightness of your playing is just top shelf stuff. Keep em comin'!
Impressive. She is a very talented singer. The musicians are on the money too.
Yes a standing ovation is appropriate here you got chills hearing this. This is probably one of the greatest songs for bands to play. The adrenaline must of been off the charts that day.
Hard to emulate Mr Plant. The stronger she belted it out at the top end the better it got
Go look for their Heart covers from a few years back. So good! She’s incredible
@@kimmie-kat I have seen their Heart covers. She is a very talented singer. Mike is amazing as well. His musicianship and production makes everyone sound their best. I've watched most all the videos. And rewatch them daily.
@@daveflanagan4213 6:48
Lexington Lab must have an endless "stable" of extremely talented musicians/singers/artists. This rendition was Perfecto!!
Led Zeppelin couldn’t have done it better!! Bravo bravo!!!!
BEST VERSION YET....HELL YEAH!!!
Gulp! Absolutely fantastic! One of the best you guys have done, which is saying a lot. Nice work to all of you and thanks for sharing your talents with all of us!
Denied Stairway, NOT! This is a superb performance of Stairway that we've all heard several hundred times. Thank you from this Zeppelin fan of more than 50 years.
I think this is the first cover where I've see actual flute players playing.
Starting with the flutes was brilliant! Kudos to the lovely young lady lead who really pulled it off! Love when she finally lets loose!! ❤❤❤Great job
Loved the guitar solo. Perfect. Flutes fantastic. LLB is always quality. I did feel the song was pitched a little low for the singer.
I'm a floutist ( flute player) and this touched a place un my soul I'd long forgotten about. So so beautiful!
Vande great arrangement and Ryan you own them drums. And to steal a line from Jackson Brown "that girl could sing".
These folks have mad talent!
My favorite cover of this song.
I'm sitting here crying listening to this rendition that leaves me with no adjectives to describe the performance!!!!!! Absolutely tragic that music today has lost its soul and character, but fabulous that LLB keeps it alive with its amazing and glorious covers!!!! Thank you so much!
Wowwww! Heard a MILLION covers.... this was the best. True and reverent and ethereal! Bravo!!!
Real Music, by real musicians. what else is there? I know, and no rap
Hands down one of the best covers of this iconic song EVER.!
Wow. Just wow. What a band. And I have to give a shout to the drummer. He is fantastic. I am a hobbyist drummer and wish I could play this song 1/10th as good. I mean wow. Covering the icon John Bonham must be an honor.
Aint no lyin no denying..... one of the best ever rock songs and done very well.... !!!! Bravo !!
"...does anybody remember laughter??" Excellent cover!!
You guys do so many great songs and it's great to hear them done so perfectly, a blast from the past, everybody does a great job singing, drumming, guitar , Keyboard , Thanks for giving 110% +
It’s great to see this song played well with all of the people involved. It’s fun watching all of the instruments getting played and it sounds just like the original song played and sung!
Guitar tone on that solo is spot on to Page’s. Amazing
