Professor Of Rock has released the video below, along with the following message:
"How does one try to break down the Led Zeppelin standard 'Stairway To Heaven?' It’s the constitution of rock! It’s been talked about a million times. People have been trying to figure out what it means for ages. A forbidden riff, an unknowable song... it'sunparalleled. The track every rock song is judged against.
Jimmy Page came up with the chords, Robert Plant was inspired to write the mystical lyrics not long after. John Paul Jones and John Bonham’s contributions take it to a whole other level. And although it was never released as a single, incredibly, it is the most-played song on Classic Rock radio... ever. From its inception in the early '70s, it has captured the imagination of generations. Every person who has even a passing interest in rock has a special connection to it. From the glorious '70s classic Led Zeppelin IV, this is the story of the Holy Grail of music."
