LED.

Se empiezan a oír los primeros acordes de una canción que promete llevarnos al cielo a través de una enorme escalera mientras el humo provocado por la combustión del hielo seco llena el escenario. De la nada, aparece una Gibson SG de doble mástil perfectamente dominada por un hombre vestido con un chaleco y unos pantalones de cuero, lleva el pelo rizado, por debajo de los hombres, de pronto, una luz apunta al fondo del escenario, de donde aparece otro hombre vestido prácticamente igual que el primero y que presta su maravillosa voz a lo que promete ser, una de las mejores canciones jamás compuestas.
Cuando la cosa parece animarse, aparece un potente bajo que acompaña a los dos mástiles de ese genio de la guitarra, poco a poco, parece que el ritmo comienza a volverse más rápido y un redoble en la caja anuncia la entrada de la batería dándole a la canción un aire más ROCK.
De pronto, ese ritmo se para y comienza otro completamente diferente que abre paso a uno de los, sin lugar a dudas, mejores solos de guitarra de la historia de la música, cuando el solo acaba, el ritmo de la canción ha incrementado notablemente y ya es algo completamente diferente a lo que sonaba al principio. Poco a poco, el ritmo va decayendo y el cantante se queda solo en el escenario volviendo al ritmo qque daba comienzo a la canción.. "And she's buying the stairway to.. heaven"


There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have
Two meanings

In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are
Misgiven

Ooh, it makes me wonder

Ooh, it makes me wonder

There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying
For leaving

In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those
Who stand looking

Ooh, it makes me wonder

Ooh, it really makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason

And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will
Echo with laughter

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, ooh, whoa, oh

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean
For the May queen

Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change
The road you're on

And it makes me wonder

Aw, uh, oh

Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow?
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

(Solo)

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The truth will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll

And she's buying a stairway
To heaven...

Stairway to heaven - Led Zeppelin
