Song History

Since the ending of Stairway to Heaven shares a very similar chord progression and rhythm with DMB's version of All Along the Watchtower, the "Stairway" solo has been played periodically during the ending of "Watchtower." We list this song separately when, in addition to Tim or someone else playing the guitar solo, Dave also sings the last verse (or the horns play the vocal melody from the last verse).
