Prior to this post, the only one I heard was Far Incorporation's version and that was in a bar during the '80's. The DJ had gotten a verbal chewing out by me for ever playing this tune. I'm all for radical changes in cover tunes, but some things are just not meant to be messed with...like chocolate chip cookies.

That being said, finding the best live version of Zeppelin's "Stairway" can be fun. My picks would be from their 1975 Earl Court show in London (the May 18th show specifically) and their final concert with Bonzo in Berlin on 7/7/1980.
