Det var låten 'Taurus' med en grupp som hette Spirit jag tänkte på.
Hörde det i det eminenta musikprogrammet Delta i p2 har jag för mig.
Det var en blandning av besvikelse o aha-upplevelse att höra. 🙂
Åh fanken,jag har lyssnat på Spirit men missat denna låt från deras första LP 1968.
Googlade och vips hittade jag detta:
"And, of course, there's 'Taurus'. All of you certainly know this song even if you have never heard it before. How? Simple. After a brief, gentle strings and Mellotron introduction, Randy California picks up his acoustic and plays a melody that was... yeah, sit up straight: almost perfectly, note-by-note nicked off by Jimmy Page for the main acoustic riff of 'Stairway To Heaven'. Okay, so he changed a couple of chords to make it impossible for Randy to sue him, but that doesn't change the essence - and since it is historically documented that Led Zeppelin once used to open the show for Spirit and Page took a particular interest in 'Taurus', the fact may be considered proved. Now do you understand why I only gave Led Zeppelin a band rating of three? Not that 'Taurus' is really better than 'Stairway To Heaven' - but it's just different, a short, moody instrumental, with none of 'Stairway's epic magnificence, but also with none of its banal pretentions."
-som saxats härifrån!
Måste kollas upp... 😄
