Dweezil Zappa - Stairway To Heaven download song

The whole song was a set-up for the horns to do a note-for-note harmony iteration of Jimmy Page's solo. It's actually an homage to Jimmy Page.

and even Jimmy Page said it was a "Brilliant arrangement" 

Frank Zappa was so ahead of everything back in performing days, can you imagine the things he could have accomplished had he lived into the millenium with all today's technological gains? The man was a genius and will always be a legend. RIP Frank Zappa!

I like the dog barking . Should have been in the original.

OMFG, the horn section playing the guitar solo...that was brilliant.

He made fun of it and respected it at the same time by doing it technically perfect.

Frank was the best! I met Dwezle and he was so cool and down to earth after show with Zappa does Zappa. He come out front for meet and greet. Has the most piercing blue eyes I ever seen and has all Frank's licks perfect. If you ever have chance He is a must see!

Was listening to this and thinking: I'm listening to Stairway to Heaven with all its epicness, played by amazing artists, and laughing my ass off at the same time because these guys are so damn funny, pretty awesome imo :) hehe

Only Zappa can get away with it and get kudos.....the dude is a genius

I live near Zeppelin and Zappa streets in Austin, TX.  And I've seen them both live. I guess that makes me cool. 

So this could be Led Zappalin?

After 40 years of listening to Zappa, I always find something that I didn't know about. Thanks for the post.

ok, line up from right to left: Ike Willis, Steve Vai (i think, it's so hard to see) Zappa, Scott Thunes; Backstage: the horn section of that time usually consisted of: Bruce Fowler, Walt Fowler, Kurt McGettrick, Albert Wing and Paul Carmen. Chad Wackerman is the drummer and Ed Mann on percussion. hope it helps some.....

to cicliste c; this version isn t made to please you or anyone. you need to understand point of view of zappa. his sense of respect is a bit different from the sens of respect of the queen of england, still he respect most music he interpret from johnny cash to the beatles, but also he can see the ridicule in rock and like to mock at what he probably respect the most " music" zappa is one of the greatest composer of or time , and i don t think america fully recognise this genius ' maybe one day they will and his text and song will be analyse in english litterrature, even in philosophy.

Try not to over-think things. This is beautiful.

The horn section doing the guitar solo was brilliant! We miss you, Frank.

Ike. There is a reason He stayed with Frank as a constant through so many iterations of the band. Drummers, guitarists, bassists, horn sections came and went but Ike Willis stayed. One of the greatest voices to grace any genre of music.
