Los Angeles – Lawyers have appealed a jury decision that cleared Led Zeppelin of accusations it lifted a riff from an obscure 1960s instrumental for the intro to its classic rock anthem “Stairway to Heaven.”
At attorney for the trust of the late Randy Wolfe filed a notice of appeal last week in Los Angeles federal court.
The trust for Wolfe, better known as Randy California, failed to convince a jury last month that the British band swiped a passage to “Stairway” from a short work he recorded with his band Spirit in 1968.
The filing does not provide legal arguments for why the case should be reconsidered.
