Led Zeppelin Stairway To Heaven Poster (full size, rolled)

Following the first performance, "Stairway to Heaven" was performed at almost every Led Zeppelin concert until the band's breakup after drummer John Bonham's death in 1980.

Some sources state that the song was performed at every single show from its debut at Ulster Hall, but this is incorrect.

In their later concert tours, the band chose to perform the song as their final number (before encores), and on rare occasions their concerts were cut short before they could perform the song (as for example at Tampa Stadium in 1977, when a thunderstorm caused the band to leave the stage early).

The band's final performance of the song was in Berlin on July 7, 1980, which was also their last concert for 27 years; the version was also one of the longest, lasting almost fifteen minutes.
