LOS ANGELES — Guitarist Jimmy Page testified Thursday he couldn’t identify the musical elements of the sheet music for the Spirit song “Taurus” that he is accused of lifting for the intro to Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven.”

The estate of Spirit’s founder, the late Randy Wolfe, claims Led Zeppelin violated the song’s copyright.

Page was also played “Chim Chim Cher-ee” from the movie “Mary Poppins” and was asked if it was the inspiration for “Stairway.”

He smiled as it was played and said he was familiar with the ditty but it wasn’t his inspiration.

“I think I have said that the chord sequence is very similar because that chord sequence has been around forever,” he said.

In testimony Wednesday, Page said early in Led Zeppelin’s career the band played a medley that borrowed a riff from Spirit.

“Fresh Garbage” from Spirit’s debut album was woven into the jam, “As Long as I Have You,” with its cycle of notes repeated again and again.

“We played it from day one,” Page testified. “That was part of a staple diet.”

While the minor hit for Spirit found its way into the band’s early set list, Page said he was unaware of an instrumental from the same album that he is now accused of lifting for the intro to Led Zeppelin’s 1971 hit, “Stairway to Heaven.”

The estate of Randy Wolfe, also known as Randy California, contends the famous descending-chord progression that softly begins the crescendo-building “Stairway” was lifted from Wolfe’s “Taurus,” which was released a few years earlier.
