Stairway to Heaven

OK, so i'm not sure how I missed this, but the last month or so I've been obsessed with dmb tagging the end of 'stairway to heaven' in 'all along the watch tower'. i remember hearing 'hey hey my my' when tim came back to the band, and it was like "wow, these guys are a rock band again". they've pretty much continued this, playing harder and heavier with time in the band. they've done a few zep covers, but this one really blows me away.

my question is, which versions of "stairway" include dave singing? i've heard versions where its just tim playing the solo, versions where tim plays the solo and the horns 'sing' the end of it, and versions where dave sings along with the horns. can anyone point to versions where dave sings? thanks, you guys are awesome.

    To give you one, he sings the Stairway lyrics on the Wrigley Watchtower.

    The Brixton version did have it but they cut it out for the DVD. A lot of versions from 2009 have it.

    Look for ones that say "with vocals" or "with lyrics." We may have missed a few, but that's most of them.

    UPDATE:

    do the people who work for dmb read this forum? this is the latest from the 'dmblive' series:

    http://davematthewsband.shop.musicto...755&pc=DMDD125

    according to our friends at dmbalmanac, dave sings "stairway" during this.

    http://dmbalmanac.com/TourShowSet.as...=41&where=1995

    it says its an acoustic show, so i'm not sure if tim does the solo, but i'm excited to hear this since this its the only time they've released any version of 'watchtower' w/ 'stairway' in it. anyone heard it yet?

    Dave just kind of mumbles the lyrics on that dmblive release. Tim didn't guest at that show so no guitar solo.

    The Watchtower from the Wrigley release has a full guitar solo and lyric interpolation.
