By 1975 , the song had a regular place as the finale of every Led Zeppelin concert . However , after their concert tour of the United States in 1977 , Plant began to tire of " Stairway to Heaven " : " There 's only so many times you can sing it and mean it ... It just became sanctimonious . " The song was played again by the surviving members of Led Zeppelin at the Live Aid concert in 1985 ; at the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert in 1988 , with Jason Bonham on drums ; and by Jimmy Page as an instrumental version on his solo tours
