I’ve listened to the instrumental in question. It’s no Stairway to Heaven.

robertloerzel I met Randy California years ago when Spirit was at Biddy Mulligans in Chicago. He was super nice, and a helluva guitarist.

"Whole Lotta Love" was an early BB King song

The plaintiffs are nothing if not tenacious and greedy

So,good news for Spirit?

Taurus isn't even close. What a joke.

When I saw this trending, I couldn't believe it had anything to with the song. Showed me, I guess. It's like watching a bum and a banker fight over stale bread.

I've listened to both. Don't hear it

Led Zeppelin, the greatest rock cover band ever. So hope they lose as it's completely clear they stole it.

Just listened again to Spirit. What jumped out were 4 successive, very familiar notes, about 6 sec in, prior to chord progression. The exact same notes of the "Ahh ah ahhhh ah" of Immigrant Song. I'm sure tons of others have already heard it, but new to me.

I’ve listen to the two songs multiple times over the past couple years and just listened again. They are not the same and really, not even that similar. The idea that they stole this from spirit is just ridiculous
