Carol Haynes:
Better definitive version site http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=17583122

Strangley my downloads from YouTube seem to be working again ??? Very odd.

Renegade:
Brilliant but it isn't as definitive as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy5KjaAS7nY

I'm still speechless... Digeridoo???  :o

Darwin:
I'm with Reneagde - wow! The Rolf Harris version is incredible - he owns STH! I just wish that the whole performance was in that clip - probably available if I looked hard enough. The faux Beatles one is really well done as well...

Carol Haynes:
Darwin look two posts up - that is the whole Rolf version, though a rather stayed studio production.

Here is it again: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=17583122

To be fair, Rolf did say that when someone suggested he should release the song as a single he had never even heard of it (and didn't listen to LZ before going to the studio). He became something of a student cult figure at the time and appeared at numerous rock festivals. He's taken a lot of stick but I think he is a really genuine guy (now in his seventies) who has never taken himself seriously and has amused generation of bewildered UK children with his whaky art work and wobble-board.

Personally I think LZ should have invited him as a guest star at the reunion concert ;)

Target:
some background on this -

it was originally performed on an Australian TV show called The Money or The Gun <see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Money_or_the_Gun>

It was a comedy show in the early to mid 90's and each episode closed with a band or performer doing a cover of Stairway To Heaven (some were more memorable than others...)

There was a video available featuring 25 performances though I believe it may be out of 'print' (?)
