I'm just going to pile on and confirm that this is T1 for Best Stairway Cover right next to the Kennedy Center Honors, and that had Heart, Jason Bonham, and made Robert Plant get verklempt.
Nailed it. I think it's safe to say that any guitar player who aspires to be in a band would want that group to sound like this. Great job and thank you for sharing this.
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 ?
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.
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.
LAB Zeppelin or is it LEX Zeppelin? WOW!!! Unbelievable, yet not surprising...Leave it to Jessica to bring it to Life to perfection... Between her singing, the flutes, guitars, keyboard and Ryan "Bonham", I think their version would have made it to Number 1 on the Charts had they been the original performers...KUDOS to each and every one of you.
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
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.
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?
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 👏👏👏👏👏🎶🎵👏👌👌❤️🙏
My favorite thing about excellent covers is hearing the performers passion for the original. It adds a new dimension without disrespecting the original artist.
WHAT AN EXCELLENT JOB!!! Only know two bands that we can compare ya'll with. Led Zeppelin themselves and Heart. Bet, Ann Wilson would Love to hear your rendition!!! You Go Girl!!!
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!
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.
I realise this is over 3 years old. but i have just discovered this absolute masterpiece. Wow words cannot explain just how good this is. First time i have ever heard a female singing Led Zep, and boy you killed it. This is simply superb
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...
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 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
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.
MooseMan here, dedicated LLB follower. I've heard so many versions of this song, most of them not very successful, it's a tough song...you folks did it well, fantastic effort from all of you. You should be proud of the work you did here!
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!
Jessica in her own right has performed as well as Anne Wilson on this track. All the musicians are incredible. I’m just blown away by the vocals on this one. 🤘🏼
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...
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.
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.
This band is like a rock super group.note for note perfect I once said that heart are the only band worthy of zep cover but once again you prove me wrong .
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.
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
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! I don't know why I'm so continuously impressed. I've been following LLB long enough to know y'all can cover just about anything as well as the original artist. I absolutely love your work!!!
A song many of us have heard thousands of times. A song that cannot really be reinterpreted because it is so iconic (although it's been done). Every time I see you post a new video I realize it must be such a challenge, because you have done such stellar work in the past. Jessica steals the show again, with a vocal on the level of Ann Wilson. But the rest is perfection as well. You stayed very faithful to the studio version and covered the sound of those endless overlays by Page with ease. Great opening, the flutes sounded great. Another remarkable achievement. Everyone associated with this group over the years should be very proud. Never a weak link.
@@scorch33 That's your opinion pal. Everybody has got one. Not saying anyone is ever going to top Ann's Lincoln Center performance of this song in front of LZ (they won't), but I dig Jessica's performances on the LZ set and her Heart tribute with LLB. As well as a bunch of great backing vocals on this channel. Whatever, she does outstanding work, so I give Jessica the highest possible. compliment. An A+, a 4.0, 10/10 or just compare her to a rock goddess like Ann Wilson. Not going to laugh back at you.
Hey..This is exactly what the cream of cover bands do: keep it as close to the original as possible. The LLB dissects each song and reveals how perfect the songs really are.
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.
@@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.

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!!
I'm just going to pile on and confirm that this is T1 for Best Stairway Cover right next to the Kennedy Center Honors, and that had Heart, Jason Bonham, and made Robert Plant get verklempt.
Nailed it.
I think it's safe to say that any guitar player who aspires to be in a band would want that group to sound like this.
Great job and thank you for sharing this.
just wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
The Wilson sisters did an equally out of the ballpark rendition of this song.
Pretty Damn Good!! in-fact....No-one-else does it better!! You guys/Gals are the best Cover Band ever!! Please keep cranking 'them out.....
Someone tell me why this group isn't the most popular thing on RUclips because this was nothing short of amazing!
Very kind of you, thank you!!

Makes me wonder... Haaahh...
I know right they should be
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!
Real Music, by real musicians. what else is there? I know, and no rap
Hey RUclips….. it’s 2023 for GOD sakes…… put a damn LOVE button ❤ on here!! Like is not good enough for these guys!!!
❤
❤
End of 2024 and still no LOVE button. Sigh.
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.
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.
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!
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!!!!
That lead guitar tone!!! That's some face-melting awesomeness right there.
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 think this is the first cover where I've see actual flute players playing.
Just when I think LLB can’t get more badarse…you go and get more badarse!
LAB Zeppelin or is it LEX Zeppelin? WOW!!! Unbelievable, yet not surprising...Leave it to Jessica to bring it to Life to perfection... Between her singing, the flutes, guitars, keyboard and Ryan "Bonham", I think their version would have made it to Number 1 on the Charts had they been the original performers...KUDOS to each and every one of you.
I've heard this tune a thousand times. This was like hearing it for the first time.
The vocalist brought tears to my eyes. Amazing!!!
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 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.

Goosebumps just listening to this cover... brilliant!!!
For this song, this is the most precision cover I've ever heard. Absolutely stunning.
I'm speechless.. Seriously speechless.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You ALL nailed it! Jessica, WOW!
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 👏👏👏👏👏🎶🎵👏👌👌❤️🙏
Thank you for your time & dedication to getting it right. Pride & patience & practice.
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 … great idea with female vocals - awesome !! 😎🎸…0n headphone … fantastic !! Rock on !! 😎🎸
This should have 10 million views. Stellar performance from everyone!
WHAT AN EXCELLENT JOB!!! Only know two bands that we can compare ya'll with. Led Zeppelin themselves and Heart. Bet, Ann Wilson would Love to hear your rendition!!! You Go Girl!!!
Vocalist sent chills down my spine. Entire band was superb! I’m a better person after experiencing this cover. Thanks.
Such a talented and BEAUTIFUL Lady the Brunette singing!!.. Great job guys.
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!
Can never get enough of that. So we'll dine, again.
It’s nice to see the younger generation play this music; and do it so well.
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.
Wow, what a fantastic cover of this Led Zeppelin classic! One of those songs that send chills through your body as it plays....
I realise this is over 3 years old. but i have just discovered this absolute masterpiece. Wow words cannot explain just how good this is. First time i have ever heard a female singing Led Zep, and boy you killed it. This is simply superb
Her voice is second to none......awesome voice ❤❤❤
Hail LLB. Nailed it!!
This is up there with Ann Wilson's!!! Thanks!!! This band rocks 😈😈😈
Zeppelin, the best
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...
Jessica's rendition near the end is better than the orginal!
WOW. Totally amazing. What a tribute of a legend. My hats off to you all. I'm in awe
Chills ...nothing but chills.
Hands down one of the best covers of this iconic song EVER.!
Many have tried, few have succeeded!!!
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.
I'd pay good money to watch you guys play the whole album. Really
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.

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!
That was Flat Out RIGHTEOUS
I appreciate the dedication you displayed in having actual flutes instead of someone playing a Mellotron. :)
They were actually recorders on the studio track
8 year clarinet player here............the flute feature is awesome, and Jessica as a lead was almost perferct, I mean it.
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.
Jessica in her own right has performed as well as Anne Wilson on this track. All the musicians are incredible. I’m just blown away by the vocals on this one. 🤘🏼

Absolutely Phenomenal, have been a Life long Fan of Zeppelin....Yall Nailed it😢 brought Tears to this ole Man's Soul..
Simply Stunning😊
Excellent, just bloody excellent !!!
Wow! Superb vocal, beautiful guitar playing. LLB scored bigtime on this cover.
Aint no lyin no denying..... one of the best ever rock songs and done very well.... !!!! Bravo !!
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.

Top shelf , deluxe , love these musicians .
Ann Wilson would be very impressed. Magnificent job ,as usual.
LLB. ❤️🔥 ...hey, yer Music helpt me over this sheit Corona lockdown.
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.
Always a brave shout to try this but totally justified - into my list of favourites it goes
Words fail me ... for how outstanding this is musically, vocally & mixing. Just woah!!! 😊😎💯
Great cover band who can play anything.
Dang…guitar riff gave me a chill…Jessica on the high part is exceptional….drums …flutes….as always ….loved to listen LLB…
This band is like a rock super group.note for note perfect I once said that heart are the only band worthy of zep cover but once again you prove me wrong .
You can see and feel the joy in playing this song with all musicians in this band.
I don't want it to stop !!!!!!!!!!
Jessica is spot on with the vocals----amazing!!! LLB rocks!!!!
Heart is the gold standard. This ranks up there and love the authenticity.
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.
Ghost notes on the snare, in service of the pocket, not easy to pull off. This guy does it justice.
Ryan McQuerry is a great drummer - he has played on several of LLB's covers.
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
