Dave Matthews Band - The Central Park Concert
Next, one of my long time favorite bands - SPIRIT - featuring Randy California - not many live recordings of them floating around but here's one you should enjoy -
Spirit
- the link to the show is below but this link will take you to Amazon and Spirit's first album - check it out! There were many classic albums that came out of L.A. in the 60's and this is certainly one of them. One of the greatest opening songs for a band's career has to be "Fresh Garbage". A "green" song that was about 35 years ahead of its time, no less. "Uncle Jack" has a vocal that really sticks with you for awhile. Then the "Mechanical World". Great vocals, great guitar from Randy California, moody and strange song. Typical Spirit. This song leads directly into a beautiful Randy piece entitled "Taurus". If it sounds vaguely like "Stairway to Heaven" it should considering that Led Zep toured with Spirit in 1968 (as the opening act!) and Page essentially ripped off the main chords. I prefer "Taurus" to "Stairway". The opening string section with the cello and flute is beautiful. The variety on the entire album is awesome. Spirit - My Father's Place - Roslyn, NY - October 31, 1975 - there is also a show from 1987 at www.VitalVibes.com
Finally, a show from another talented artist Sinéad O'Connor - Paradise Theater - Boston, MA. - March 31, 1988
Here's a good sampler of Ms. O'Connor So Far: Best of Sinead O'Connor

I'm sorry, but Stairway to Heaven was not ripped off from Taurus. The part that is similar is an A minor arpeggio scale that has been around for a very long time. Listen to Davy Graham's "Cry Me A River" on youtube, which predated Taurus by several years. You will hear it.
