Outstanding version of a George Strait classic.

And wrote at least half of Stairway to Heaven and never saw a dime from it either during his life.

Found the video with comparison of the intro’s.

It’s not a note for not rip off - but given the “similarities” of a song that was a. Released just 18 months or so before Stairway was written and b. Played by a band who opened for Zeppelin on several dates - playing this song nightly - the liberties taken with “borrowing” are a little too great to ignore.

Never mind Page has a long history of taking bits and pieces (and more) from long dead musicians, speeding them up a bit and cleaning them up and calling them his own. He knew damn well what he did (even if unknowingly in his subconscious) and should have at least made it right with Randy. But being the ultimate cheapskate, having Peter Grant as a manager and Atlantics legal team at your disposal has its advantages I guess.

I still love Zep and Page and all they did - but this one was blatant theft.

Always liked this song and think Miranda did it justice with her rendition.

Tom Douglas co-wrote it - if you don’t know the name look him up and all the songs he’s written/co-written.

Thank god her ex didn’t get ahold of it - as she did it so much better. Supposedly his manager sent it to him with a packet of songs bought from Douglas - Miranda found it first and “claimed” it. Good career move for her (and Tom).

Zeppelin stole a lot of shit and retarded mother fukkers compare them to the fukkin Stones. Fukkin joke.

Somehow I don't remember anything about this. Love Spirit very underrated too and still love most of Zeppelins stuff. STH is one of my least favorite songs(so overplayed). Same goes for Claptons Layla and even Stones Satisfaction (I know...blasphemy ).
