Stairway to Heaven - 38 years ago right here...

Can you guys realize that Led Zeppelin may have played their "Stairway to Heaven" for the first time on the American continent right here in Vancouver? They kicked out their tour at Vancouver's Pacific Coliseum on August 19, 1971. After recording it in early 1971, they could have played it in Europe (Italy, UK, Denmark) and came to Canada while having it on their list of pieces to perform in North America. So, what the heck, why it's not 35 or even 40 years ago..., it doesn't matter. Let's get together in the middle of August and sing or play along something that will never be obsolete and the piece of music itself will never be duplicated or otherwise repeated the way they played it right here. Let's show the entire North America that this song was played on this continent right here, in our city.

Thank you!

You were teaching me colours and showed me grass for the first time. You told me about some distant worlds when the world within the eyesight was enormously huge. You took me once under a tree and told me we could do a lot of things together. Thank you for leaving me once on the street and you watching me if I was able to find my way back home, all by myself.
Now I am far away, sitting on hot chairs but thanks to you I am never lost, not only in the Amazon jungle but also in my life.

I remember our last walk on slashy snow and soon after your last heartbeat. I wanted to talk to you but the graves don't talk back.
I wanted to see you in my dreams but you have never shown up. I wanted to ask you a few questions but it was not you who was coming to my dreams. I apologized for bad things I had done to you - did you hear that?
Come here and see me, I am waiting, still waiting and hoping not to consume your time while you're busy traveling in other worlds than the ones you were telling me about. I'll wait tonight too although it's hard to fall asleep with my fingers crossed.
