George Harrison posed a question to Jimmy, "How come you don't write a ballad, you don't have any" Jimmy responded with this song. plus, he played homage to Harrison's way of writing chord progressions within this composition.
@@leddygee1896actually after a concert Harrison was talking to Bonham, & said one problem is they don’t have a ballad. He was surprised too, that they played for 3 to 4 hours without taking a break. Bonham told Jimmy about the ballad thing, Jimmy’s response, hold my beer.
@@monroegodette6440, you got that right! Between The Fabulous Forum and The Long Beach Arena, l can't tell you how many times l saw them. "LED HEAD" HERE!🤘😝🎶
The Rain Song is my favorite love song by Led Zeppelin. It makes me cry every time. That is a lot of crying since I remember when it first came out. Lol. George Harrison, in his critique of LZ, saying they don’t do ballads, inspired Jimmy Page to write the most incredible song. So thank you George (RIP).
One thing of note about this live version of "The Song Remains The Same" is that Page plays the whole song on the 12 string neck of his doubleneck, including all the lead work; incredible playing. Then following it up on the 6 string neck of his doubleneck with "The Rain Song"; one of the prettiest songs ever written! Incredible song writing and playing!
Amazing band. Over 50 years after this was recorded we are still blown away by their talent. They are my "go to band" for sure. Thank you for your honest reaction.
I used to fall asleep to this album all the time when I was a young kid. It was my older brothers album. We shared a room w bunkbeds. He was 15 I was 10. We wore this entire album OUT
This is why they were the most popular band of the 70's...period. Back in High School as you walked thru the parking lot this was almost all you heard coming from ppl's cars..Zeppelin
Gentlemen another spectacular reaction. Strap your boots on pull up your pants and get ready for mind blowing trip. Wait until you hear Jimmy take you for a space trip with his guitar on Dazed And Confused . Side two is the entire improvised song 26 mins long. Enjoy what you are doing thank you for taking my request…
@@AirplayBeatswith the love of Bonham’s drumming, you really need to watch his 20 minute solo, I think the best version is from Earls Court (1975). It gives the best visuals of him playing, & definitely shows why he’s the greatest drummer. It’s called Moby Dick, he played that solo over 200 times, sometime during a 3 to 4 hour nonstop concert. I hope you check it out.
When I was in high school, every day I’d show up early so I could park my Mustang in “my spot” so I could crank up Zeppelin on my 8-track and blow my Pioneers OUT! The 70s was a GREAT time to be alive for music!
Yes! And we never had competing music! In my 68 Cougar, I didn't have an 8-track, so I parked as close as I could to the person that I knew would have the best music - that was the place to be during lunch! Then, in 1974 ((2 years after graduation) I saw Led Zeppelin in concert and, of course, it was better than anything on tape or radio! Best concert of my life!
@@danacasey8543 I wished had the opportunity to see them live (I’m so jelly). I got to see Robert Plant live for his Now and Zen tour and he was amazing which ultimately only regret never seeing Zeppelin live even more.
It's like the same soul divided into 4 separate beings when incarnating on this earth. You can see why the rumour of doing a deal with the devil is whispered around...
Page and Bonham are at absolute PEAK as a unit in 1973. The Europe leg bootlegs in March are ridiculous. BTW the Rain Song is a damn masterpiece. It’s like listening to a grand symphony. I think with Zeppelin at this time the compositions and arrangements were just unmatched.
These three concerts were for their movie, The Song Remains The Same, so they all were in perfect form. They always tried to give their concerts their all, they loved playing for their fans. On occasion Plants vocals weren’t perfect with some notes, but he would still give it all he could. Their improvisation for each concert, making each one of a kind, is what made them so great. Page would play whatever flowed out of him, & Plant’s vocals would be what’re ever popped in his head. They always had total control over their music, that was a stipulation for signing with Atlantic Records. That’s why too Page produced mixed & edited all their albums, except I believe ITTOD. He’s done all the remastering, though he says not much is needed. He also did all the switching to CD’s, this band & their music is his baby, & he takes care of it.
I've been listening to this since 1978. I'm 60 years old now. The last song I hear in my time on this Earth? THIS recording of "The Rain Song"....and I'm NOT kidding.
The most astute observation of the way the guitar is always with the drums, which is not typical. Most complicated time signatures; and yet its gets pulled together. Any lesser musicians could easily devolve into chaos. Simply the GOAT.
Yes absolutely watch "Dazed and Confused" and "Whole Lotta Love", I want to see the part when your eyes pop out of your head like me and my brother way back when we saw this on VHS
First saw this in 1977, walked in to the Oakland Theatre a Skynyrd fan, walked out a LZ fan till today! Best band EVER! Consider they play their songs, which many are difficult in the studio, and yet blast them into a new experience live!
Yes, 2nd Deck straight back from center of stage, last row. Loudest thing I ever heard. And had to wait over two hours before they came out..Saw Skynyrd same summer!@@steveguth1987
Watch the concert from MSG.Its funny when you mention being mesmerized my son walked in the room as a 5 year old and did not move and watched the entire concert
Btw , in the late 1970’s I went to a cinema and saw this concert , I was 11/12 years old and that was it for me ! I’ve been a huge Zeppelin fan ever since .
Led Zeppelin is incredible LIVE! I saw them at MSG, in 1976! It was something I will never forget! They are the best band ever!!❤️❤️❤️❤️RIP John Bonham!
By far my fav from them As a teen i had to learn this on guitar more than any song they played and at 59 i still play it at least 2 or 3 times a week The ending gets me every time Ita a masterpiece
All of their tunes you hear are great except a couple. The great bands we feel that way stopped after about 10 years. Sabbath with ozzy. The Beatles. The stuff I personally don’t like from the stones or Pink Floyd came after the ten year window. I like some of it but mostly not. The stones had a great 20 year run. After that not stuff I wanted to hear
It's always one hell of a pocket. I've read Bonham was actually following Page . Either way, they were really locked in! These guys really listened & played off each other.---These 2 cuts may be may fav live Zep. Man, they killed it! It was a peak. Also, on the studio recording of TSRTS Page plays may layers of riffs on top of each other. He has to play them individually live, & each one holds up on it's own.
When i hear this album i think of sitting in MSG (1977), being perfectly stoned, and experiencing the magic of Led Zeppelin. To this day (& probably forever) the best concert I've seen.
I was too young, and on the other side of the world, but if I could time travel (and just travel 😂) I’d go back to be at this concert. I’m so jealous of anyone who experienced this live!!
Led Zeppelin is the Monster Jimmy Page put together as a vehicle for his vision. In the doing this, he created and guided them to being immorta. Their music will go on for generations. They are up there with the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and all the music that is like heirlooms to be passed to generations.
You have to understand this concert was to be filmed over 3 nights at MSG in 1973, so that means they are going to bring their A game. LZ, individually shot fantasy sequences that were incorporated with Robert and SRTS/Rsin song, JPJ, No Quarter, Jimmy, Dazed and Confused, and Bonham, Moby Dick. The film sat in the can for 3 years until Robert's car accident then LZ released it that year in 1976.
The Rain Song was inspired by George Harrison daring Jimmy to write a ballad. Boy, did he deliver!!! I think Rain Song is their most underrated song. It is a masterpiece.
The Mighty Zep ❤❤❤ Btw, Page always stood out in live performances. Live, with his studio wizardry stripped away, it was just the man and his guitar - and he was Awesome!
This live version of The Rain Song is so incredible , so moving and so beautiful . I’ve been listening to this for decades and it always brings me to tears but it’s also exhilarating as well . This live version of The Song Remains The Same is also powerful in a different way . They were truly masterful musicians. I don’t think we will come across this level of quality ever again , sadly .
One of my favorite Zeppelin Albums. This was a double album. And the albums rocked! I was in high school in B'ham Al when this live album was released. It was made in 1973, but this album was released 1976 I remember! Legendary Band! RIP Drummer, "John (Bonzo) Bonham!" 👍💯
You guys do a great job of describing what they do musically, and that's why no one else has ever been able to pull this off. The genius of Jimmy Page knowing what he wanted to do and put these guys together is unprecedented. Put your seat belts on for Dazed and Confused! And also the Whole Lotta Love encore!
And to think this stuff is 50 years old. I still enjoy it as much as the first time I ever listened to it. Jimmy Page is probably my all time favorite musician. He said in an interview once that he wanted to make lasting music. Pretty sure he accomplished that.
Love your guys reactions..yeah Page was like MJ or Steph scoring 50+ whenever playing MSG. They understood the ‘bigness’ of the States and of course NYC as our main city. If watch movie you see them in limo from airport to MSG ..riding in like gladiators to Roman coliseum. Guys have to watch movie. All us 70’s-80’s kids grew up on double billing of this movie late night along with usually Floyd’s The Wall..maybe Live at Pompei. Those two groups are our ‘gods’ of rock lol!
Personally, in my opinion: the relationship between Page & Bonham was SO TIGHT and SO SPECIAL - they played off and WITH each other - almost like they were one person playing the drums and the guitar at the same time with four arms!! ....and, that relationship bled over into JPJ and Plant....they were just SUCH a SPECIAL and UNIQUE BAND that will, as far as I'm concerned, NEVER be even CLOSE to being DUPLICATED! :) Makes me happy to listen to ANY of their music!! JUST....SO....GOOD!!! ENJOY, FELLAS!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Bohham brought a gun to a fist fight!" Damn! That says it all! Yes Bonham had two huge timpani drums on the left side of his kit. I remember the day he died. The music world was in shock, and I remember the tributes on the radio. Love your reaction and comments. Thanks
The Song Remains the Same was a feature-length movie they used to show in the theatres at midnight. Sometimes a double feature with Pink Floyd's The Wall. I've watched it a million times and will watch it a million more, it's an amazing performance caught in time as you guys have just said. Thanks for the genuine review, feeling it.
When you guys watch the movie you will see Page turn to Bonzo and give hand signals or a look to let him know where he is going. It is fascinating and mind blowing to watch. They did a lot of improv but it was rehearsed as well. Love watching you two appreciate LZ.
If you've ever watched footage of Zeppelin, Jimmy Page often set himself up directly in front of John Bonham's bass drum. Which is a dangerous place to be, but Page often said he wanted to feel the full force of it when he played and improvised, and Bonzo's foot played into his solo's. Stairway, Sick Again, Achilles, Kashmir. Numerous examples of this.
Great reaction guys!! Live is where Zeppelin really shone - their studio albums are the stuff of legend, but live, they became the Hindenburg and were on fire! Page especially - something about performing, his bottle of Jack Daniels, cigarettes burning away - and he was FREE!! Not that Bonham & Jones were restrained, far from it - but as the rhythm section, they had to reign in Page after his six-string journeys! They knew how to improvise. Cheers!
Bill Graham was the concert promoter for the Oakland San Francisco concerts and MSG . He was a friend of Led Zeppelin. He stated at that time LZ was the only group that was guaranteed to instantly sell out 2 weeks at MSG. He also acknowledged LZ brought out a “dangerous” element in the fans because they were so intense and mostly male. His memoir is excellent with a whole chapter devoted to LZ. He tragically died in a helicopter crash.
@@thewraiths8963 I remember him saying "They were the only Initiation Band..... where their fans were willing to die for them." Only THEY had that power.
Also the actually told bill graham to go kick rocks because they were so big that they didn’t need a promoter anymore. Peter grant and Peter Cole delivered him the message
They were all geniuses in their own right! Like we used to say the gods came together with these four men! You DO have to watch how great they were live! Incredible!
The band was formed, by Page, to showcase how s guitar style. Btw, you dudes are helping me to hear Led Zeppelin for the first time, again, in forty years.
There is an acoustic version of The Rain Song with only Page and Plant and an Orchestra. It’s one of the most beautiful versions I’ve heard. Page kills it on the acoustic guitar.
Great descriptions of what amazing sonic eargasms Led Zeppelin truly creates! You guys are always on point with this incredible band. Keep up the great work.
“In between last time we can and this time, we managed to get an album out called Houses of the Holy and this is something that we decided was an apt title for a thing that's called The Song Remains The Same." Loved the original album without all the remastering. I think I know it note for note!! Happy that other songs released from that amazing show. The Rain Song is one of their wonderful “journey” type songs. Fantastic.
My parents had a prescription to hbo in 1977. This movie played on a loop. I got to watch it 20 times start to finish when I was 12. I was a lucky kid!
This is my favourite version of Rain Song. It's magnificent. When time travel finally gets invented I will sell my literal soul to go back in time and follow them on tour.
Saw them once, whenever I hear live Zep I can see Jimmy on stage in the black jumpsuit standing there playing his double neck guitar, life highlight…..
The Rain Songs is one of the best songs ever written. I shake my head every time I hear this song. So beautiful!!!!!
Right there with you @David-fh4sy, Rain Song is one of my all-time favorites!
I think this song uses a special tuning not used on any other song.
George Harrison posed a question to Jimmy, "How come you don't write a ballad, you don't have any" Jimmy responded with this song. plus, he played homage to Harrison's way of writing chord progressions within this composition.

May I recommend you watch the video of this…. Visually rewarding to see jimmy at work. The guitar playing on this is phenomenal
We are doing that next on our movie channel
Jimmy played this tune with his eyes closed. The ending guitar section, is simply the best, the video is awesome!

La and Che just realized Led Zeppelin is the best live band ever :) Keep it going fellas!
They’ve been climbing Mt. Everest. They’re as high as they can get! They made it to the top!
Zeppelin loved playing in LA also

This is one man playing the guitar. Unreal.
Sometimes even two guitars.
I stand corrected Peter....
Jimmy the Wizard
The Rain Song is my favorite love song by Led Zeppelin. It makes me cry every time. That is a lot of crying since I remember when it first came out. Lol.

It’s rare when a band assembles, fills every gap musically, plays and writes songs like they’ve been together forever.
It's like the same soul divided into 4 separate beings when incarnating on this earth. You can see why the rumour of doing a deal with the devil is whispered around...
Rain Song is immaculate.
You're 💯 about it being Jimmy's night!!! Wait til you hear him tear it up on Dazed & Confused. 💥💥
Oh God yes!
Page and Bonham are at absolute PEAK as a unit in 1973. The Europe leg bootlegs in March are ridiculous. BTW the Rain Song is a damn masterpiece. It’s like listening to a grand symphony. I think with Zeppelin at this time the compositions and arrangements were just unmatched.
Lots of us here that consider Rain Song their favorite LZ song - me too! The chords are angelic, and the lyrics are sublime.

No no no. Zepp is the BEST Band and Group of the 20th Century, period!!!
Totally agree. Unparalleled and unequaled in the annals of music history. Page is the greatest musical pioneer of the 20th century. In my opinion.
@@Ledgar64💯
I appreciate how much respect you give to these exemplary musicians. It’s refreshing. Some of the best music ever recorded
I've been listening to this since 1978. I'm 60 years old now. The last song I hear in my time on this Earth? THIS recording of "The Rain Song"....and I'm NOT kidding.
Zep is Page's band. He leads,Bonham follows,Jones is the gluez Plant is the cherry on top.
Page is the Brain, Bonham the heart, Plant the the Balls and JPJ holds everything together.
Perfectly said
Good description
Best and most versatile band ever. They went from A to Z and back.
The most astute observation of the way the guitar is always with the drums, which is not typical.
Most complicated time signatures; and yet its gets pulled together. Any lesser musicians could easily devolve into chaos.
Simply the GOAT.
These men were all Masters of their art!
I've always maintained that that's what made them the greatest, they were ALL masters of their instruments.
THE BEST...PERIOD.....next.....
Yes absolutely watch "Dazed and Confused" and "Whole Lotta Love", I want to see the part when your eyes pop out of your head like me and my brother way back when we saw this on VHS
I have the DVD and it's still amazing!
First saw this in 1977, walked in to the Oakland Theatre a Skynyrd fan, walked out a LZ fan till today! Best band EVER! Consider they play their songs, which many are difficult in the studio, and yet blast them into a new experience live!
Two of the greatest bands ever.
Next question is did you then go see Zep at Day on Green that summer? Last performance in US due to Plant’s son dying sadly.
Yes, 2nd Deck straight back from center of stage, last row. Loudest thing I ever heard. And had to wait over two hours before they came out..Saw Skynyrd same summer!@@steveguth1987

The Rain Song is still my favorite Zeppelin song...I never, ever, ever Tyre of listening to this song. Even after 40 years...
Jimmi's favorite place on stage was 1 foot in front of Bonzos bass drum.
By far my fav from them As a teen i had to learn this on guitar more than any song they played and at 59 i still play it at least 2 or 3 times a week The ending gets me every time Ita a masterpiece
Hands down,this band is the greatest.Their diverseness and masterful musicianship is unmatched. These two songs prove my point.
All of their tunes you hear are great except a couple. The great bands we feel that way stopped after about 10 years. Sabbath with ozzy. The Beatles. The stuff I personally don’t like from the stones or Pink Floyd came after the ten year window. I like some of it but mostly not. The stones had a great 20 year run.

Also, on the studio recording of TSRTS Page plays may layers of riffs on top of each other. He has to play them individually live, & each one holds up on it's own.
Yeah. Page sets tempo. They are all incredible! The stars aligned when they all got together!
That’s right-Bonzo followed Jimmy and Jonesy played ON TOP of them…
Yes exactly right
When i hear this album i think of sitting in MSG (1977), being perfectly stoned, and experiencing the magic of Led Zeppelin. To this day (& probably forever) the best concert I've seen.
I was too young, and on the other side of the world, but if I could time travel (and just travel 😂) I’d go back to be at this concert. I’m so jealous of anyone who experienced this live!!
Lovely reaction. And yeah man I personally think that jpj shined on this ultimately but they're all so damn good. And I love them all
At the movie theater everyone's jaw dropped during this segment.
And after the movie ended, and the house lights came on, nothing but a huge haze of smoke in the theatre. Lol!😊
Rain song is my favorite ✌️🤟
Led Zeppelin is the Monster Jimmy Page put together as a vehicle for his vision. In the doing this, he created and guided them to being immorta. Their music will go on for generations. They are up there with the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and all the music that is like heirlooms to be passed to generations.
I think they are the best out of the four you mentioned. Black Sabbath does it for me as well
One of the greatest performances ever.

The Rain Song is a gate to my soul! Just beautiful.
Rain song live from msg. It's stunningly beautiful!!
The live version of "No Quarter" from the same concert is mandatory listening.
two of the best live songs ever heard, zep in there prime. jimmy page epic guitar hero..
You haven’t seen Jimmy play guitar until you watch “Dazed and Confused” from the same Concert.
They are so tight. Incredible
The Rain Song was inspired by George Harrison daring Jimmy to write a ballad. Boy, did he deliver!!! I think Rain Song is their most underrated song. It is a masterpiece.
The Mighty Zep ❤❤❤ Btw, Page always stood out in live performances. Live, with his studio wizardry stripped away, it was just the man and his guitar - and he was Awesome!
As great as Bonham and Page are, JPJ brings it
all together on the organ. Best band, best group
best songs, best musicians
This live version of The Rain Song is so incredible , so moving and so beautiful . I’ve been listening to this for decades and it always brings me to tears but it’s also exhilarating as well . This live version of The Song Remains The Same is also powerful in a different way . They were truly masterful musicians. I don’t think we will come across this level of quality ever again , sadly .

What an era to grow up in. I was so blessed.
One of the more moving songs in rock history.
YAY two of the **Best** songs EVER!!! **Luvit**
Greatest segue of all time
Watching this movie will blow you away as you really see and feel the masterful musicianship of each one of the band members.
Im a big tough unit. 25 yrs in the force yet this tune turns me into a blubbering wreck. So beautiful
And to think this stuff is 50 years old. I still enjoy it as much as the first time I ever listened to it. Jimmy Page is probably my all time favorite musician. He said in an interview once that he wanted to make lasting music. Pretty sure he accomplished that.
When you watch the movie you'll see when Page takes off on them & JP & John look at each other and John just shrugs
Lol😂 “page ain’t passin the ball tonight”
Yeah, That was awesome!
Guys should check out their performance at the 02 arena in 2007.older n still rockin with jason bonham on drums
Thank you for complimenting them!!! Exactly how I feel everytime I hear the album!!!!!
You guys really, really need to watch this live. There are little mini movies going on behind the scenes and shit. It's a trip
These two songs together are amazing...what a trip and you SHOULD watch it...incredible
Love your guys reactions..yeah Page was like MJ or Steph scoring 50+ whenever playing MSG. They understood the ‘bigness’ of the States and of course NYC as our main city. If watch movie you see them in limo from airport to MSG ..riding in like gladiators to Roman coliseum. Guys have to watch movie. All us 70’s-80’s kids grew up on double billing of this movie late night along with usually Floyd’s The Wall..maybe Live at Pompei. Those two groups are our ‘gods’ of rock lol!

Personally, in my opinion: the relationship between Page & Bonham was SO TIGHT and SO SPECIAL - they played off and WITH each other - almost like they were one person playing the drums and the guitar at the same time with four arms!! ....and, that relationship bled over into JPJ and Plant....they were just SUCH a SPECIAL and UNIQUE BAND that will, as far as I'm concerned, NEVER be even CLOSE to being DUPLICATED! :) Makes me happy to listen to ANY of their music!!

The greatest to ever do it. Never heard anything better…and I’ve tried, trust me.
Just absolutely magical!
You guys are the best I’ve said it before. Love your reactions but yes on this album Led Zeppelin made their already great songs that much better.
One of the best live performances of all time IMO.
At the end of the rain song Jimmy plays the beautiful improv outro with his eyes shut!!!
The Song Remains the Same was a feature-length movie they used to show in the theatres at midnight. Sometimes a double feature with Pink Floyd's The Wall. I've watched it a million times and will watch it a million more, it's an amazing performance caught in time as you guys have just said. Thanks for the genuine review, feeling it.
Most of the movie was not at MSG, it was recorded on a soundstage in England, to the soundtrack from MSG.
When you guys watch the movie you will see Page turn to Bonzo and give hand signals or a look to let him know where he is going. It is fascinating and mind blowing to watch. They did a lot of improv but it was rehearsed as well. Love watching you two appreciate LZ.
Best part the album.. absolute 🔥, love’73 versions of TsRTS -tight, fluid, and smackless ..
So I have always thought Rain Song live is one of Roberts best performances. Love you guys. I think youve won over many Ld Zeppelin fans.
When we were young you always saw every great concert at MSG it was the best place ever to see any great play!!❤️
If you've ever watched footage of Zeppelin, Jimmy Page often set himself up directly in front of John Bonham's bass drum. Which is a dangerous place to be, but Page often said he wanted to feel the full force of it when he played and improvised, and Bonzo's foot played into his solo's. Stairway, Sick Again, Achilles, Kashmir. Numerous examples of this.
Great reaction guys!! Live is where Zeppelin really shone - their studio albums are the stuff of legend, but live, they became the Hindenburg and were on fire! Page especially - something about performing, his bottle of Jack Daniels, cigarettes burning away - and he was FREE!! Not that Bonham & Jones were restrained, far from it - but as the rhythm section, they had to reign in Page after his six-string journeys! They knew how to improvise.
Cheers!
6:35 that guitar riff and bass elicited the rare stank face! 🙃These two songs back-to-back encapsulate the light and shade of Zep
Watch No Quarter dvd, Page and Plant do this beautifully, and as always, Jimmy drops his pic on the floor to finger pick the ending! Beautiful!❤️
Bill Graham was the concert promoter for the Oakland San Francisco concerts and MSG . He was a friend of Led Zeppelin. He stated at that time LZ was the only group that was guaranteed to instantly sell out 2 weeks at MSG. He also acknowledged LZ brought out a “dangerous” element in the fans because they were so intense and mostly male. His memoir is excellent with a whole chapter devoted to LZ. He tragically died in a helicopter crash.
@@thewraiths8963 I remember him saying "They were the only Initiation Band..... where their fans were willing to die for them."
Only THEY had that power.
Also the actually told bill graham to go kick rocks because they were so big that they didn’t need a promoter anymore. Peter grant and Peter Cole delivered him the message
They were all geniuses in their own right! Like we used to say the gods came together with these four men! You DO have to watch how great they were live! Incredible!
A true masterpiece performed masterfully.
The band was formed, by Page, to showcase how s guitar style.
Btw, you dudes are helping me to hear Led Zeppelin for the first time, again, in forty years.
The Rain Song 🌧️🙌🏽
There is an acoustic version of The Rain Song with only Page and Plant and an Orchestra. It’s one of the most beautiful versions I’ve heard. Page kills it on the acoustic guitar.
I always loved Zep but this is best I ever heard. Genius
Great descriptions of what amazing sonic eargasms Led Zeppelin truly creates! You guys are always on point with this incredible band. Keep up the great work.
Total EARGASM! 🎸🎹🎼🥁
“In between last time we can and this time, we managed to get an album out called Houses of the Holy and this is something that we decided was an apt title for a thing that's called The Song Remains The Same."
Loved the original album without all the remastering. I think I know it note for note!! Happy that other songs released from that amazing show.
The Rain Song is one of their wonderful “journey” type songs. Fantastic.
Love it, I know those words by heart too. Started smiling as soon as I started reading it! ☮️
My parents had a prescription to hbo in 1977. This movie played on a loop. I got to watch it 20 times start to finish when I was 12. I was a lucky kid!
This is my favourite version of Rain Song. It's magnificent. When time travel finally gets invented I will sell my literal soul to go back in time and follow them on tour.
Mind blown. Just staggering.
That Rain song live was amazing!
Saw them once, whenever I hear live Zep I can see Jimmy on stage in the black jumpsuit standing there playing his double neck guitar, life highlight…..
I am so happy to see you do this concert guys! How the west was won is also fucking fire. The reunion at 02 arena is magical.
So good
