    The comment about Jason Bonham perhaps being the source of Plant's tears is very astute and probably very accurate.
    Plant has made his general indifference towards Stairway well known, and the song itself probably wouldn't have inspired that much emotion in him. The sight of his friend's son being part of a performance like that however, well, that would have.
