Tonight's version of Stairway comes from the historic Tampa show when Zep broke an attendance record and turned Tampa upside down for a day or two. The jury started day 1 of deliberations today, I say this ends with Zep the victor.....The Horror!!
Jury begins deliberations in Led Zeppelin case
LOS ANGELES - A key chapter of rock 'n' roll history could be rewritten by a jury that began deliberating Wednesday over whether Led Zeppelin ripped off a riff for its epic Stairway to Heaven.
Led Zeppelin's 10 Boldest Rip-Offs
Reasonable people can disagree on whether (and how heavily) Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" filches from Spirit's "Taurus" - that's why there's a court case in progress. But the reason many people aren't extending Led Zeppelin the benefit of the doubt on "Stairway" is because they have an extensive history of swiping songs from other people and giving credit only under duress.
THE HORROR!!
