With the orchestra & all those voices.
I did enjoy how the put subtle differences in there. Nancy's intro is not quite how Page played it. The guitar solo shows reverence to the original but is slightly different. Ann phrases some lines different than Plant. But, nothing drastic, just little touches of themselves.
One more note: the keyboard being used at the beginning is not a Mellotron. But, it clearly sounds like one. So, that keyboard has a Mellotron flute sample as opposed to using an actual flute sample. (Less wind hears because the Mellotron tapes were all made to sound after the natural attack. We don't hear the bow on strings either.)
That is a really faithful nod
