Rick Beato does a brand new break down of "what makes this song great" featuring Stairway to Heaven
Although I consider this an overplayed song, I enjoyed listening to the different tracks of it and how it was created.

OP, that is really cool, and I had no clue there was an electric piano in there.

^^^^^^^^ When I was much younger in college, I thought it was a mellotron, had no idea it was a Fender Rhodes that was layered with the guitars. Genius.
I always liked Stairway to Heaven, but it was not my favorite song on the IV album- When the Levee Breaks was king of that album, along with Black Dog and Misty Mountain Hop.
"I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965
Those of us who lived through those years remember well the stir this album - and in particular, this song created. As often happened back then, “Stairway” was overplayed on the radio, as were so many from the Eagles. Rick Beato, in breaking down the recording and the recording engineering mastery of Andy Johns, helped me understand WHY the song is so loved and important in in rock history. I appreciate that. This album is one that I purchased in the last 4 or 5 years on 180 gram vinyl. I guess I need to listen again.
