We need to get an old fashioned 1960's orgy going with this playing in the background!

@Roy1968Wood and silversurfer250...yes,that is sooo true about the plagiarism,years later Led Zep had to pay back some of those Blues Artists they stole from..The onset of all that was in early 1969,Spirit and Led Zeppelin were on tour together,so Page and co. had plenty of first hand information...Randy California was using a theremin,Page liked that and was soon using one,too...lol..not just the music was copied

To Silversurfer: You are correct about Page plagiarizing Randy California's guitar riffs. In fact, Page and Co. plagiarized everything they recorded. Page was a gifted studio guitarist relying heavily on overdubs, while California was a great guitar player, period.

"...it is now widely accepted that Page lifted the descending guitar figure from Spirit's instrumental "Taurus" for Led Zeppelin's signature tune "Stairway To Heaven"." https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Spirit_%28band%29
