Damn shame they didn't invite him for this. I'd be a little bitter too if I were JPJ. He would have lit this stage up. Tragedy not having him there for this in my opinion!!
A beautiful song which we used at our wedding 3 years ago after being together 17 years. It made me cry, my husband is very unwell at the moment and has been in hospital for nearly 3 months so I guess that little bit of rain has fallen on our lives now but this brought back some memories of the happiest day of my life, the day I married my darling husband ❤️
I'm reading this 8 days after your comment. I pray things are better. When my husband and I were 48, in 2005, I lost him to a completely unexpected heart attack. Sitting in his chair reading a book, I got home from work, said hello, and a couple of sentences later, he was gone in the blink of an eye. I'm sure you are/were terrified, and I understand. Sure hope things work out. 🙏
I watch tons of reaction vids ( its worth saying that I am 62 yrs old ) and my favorite ones are like this one ! Young folks that truly love the music I grew up with and realize that us old farts had a better way of seeing things than the way things are today. There was a true brotherhood among people that existed thru music. Just look at this young lady's beautiful smile and the way her face lights up listening to a timeless classic that quite honestly , you wouldnt think she would give two squats to judging by her age . It truely warms my heart to see this kind of reaction in the younger generation and gives me hope for our future.......You go Nostalgic I love you girl !!!
The Rain Song is probably my favorite Led Zeppelin song. I used to play it on the piano, and I had quite a few friends ask me to play it for them, because they just really enjoyed it. Those...I guess you would call them glissandos?...are beautiful.
Jimmy Page is the master! Such a beautiful song. Robert Plant, himself a beautiful soul, and this song, straight out of Middle-Earth. But to be the critic, Plant can't sing like he used to, he had to go to the lower note. But still he did the best he could.
OK? Listen to the Celebration Day album. Those guys could still rock and Plant's vocals were, if anything better than many of his live performances back in the day on that. And that was a good few years after this recording.
Back when music was made with actual properly trained musicians, and the subtle variations in vocal range are appreciable. Me thinks autotuned music ought to have a warning label saying this music may cause cancer to your ears.
The song actually by Led Zeppelin! It may be Jimmy and Robert here but they sang it with Zeppelin first! Love that you did this song ! There’s a reason Led Zeppelin is the number one band of all time .Robert Plant is the number one singer off all time and Jimmy Page number one guitarist..vote number one off all time year after year! 🤟🏽🙋♀️😎🙏😘👍😍
I learned how to play this song on guitar, the live version (Song Remains the Same), the studio version is tuned lower, took me quite a while and different tuning from standard, when I finished learning it, I played along with the recording one final time, and never played it again, it required a lot of practice, but it was totally worth it, such a beautiful song and one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs.
If you want a different view of Led Zeppelin, my suggestion would be to check out the "No Quarter" album, recorded with a "Middle Eastern" vibe. If you want a good song from that album, try "Kashmir."
the live version from "the song remains the same"movie, is a mind blowing, life changing performance.they were truely masters of their craft on top of their game.CRAZY GOOD!!!
Find and watch the 1973 version. It’ll make you cry it’s so beautiful. John Paul Jones (who wrote these string arrangements) is present and just the BEST.
Girl you very nearly clouded up as we all did the first time we ever heard this Led Zepplin Master piece and tour de force of Page/Plant/Jones/Bonham. It just doesn't get any better.
You can't beat led Zeppelin they changed the sound of music just like the Beatles musicians are still trying to sound like Zeppelin and can't do it 😅😅😅
My first time to your channel. For your information there is NO bad Led Zeppelin music, none!!! This song is beautiful. Jimmy's guitar work is unreal. Per his usual Robert's voice is great. And that head of hair!!!! ?the women swoon over him. Led Zeppelin's, Pink Floyd's, and the Moody Blues music ALL goes so well with an orchestra!!! Perfect!!! Jimmy is rated in the TOP five of rock guitarist. Watch near the end he discards his pick and finger strums it.... You were smiling & beaming the entire song!!!! Did you love it?? This is a good example as to why Led Zeppelin has sold over 350 million albums worldwide. Back in the day (1980's) I got to see Plant perform as a solo artist. The man can still sing really well. I never got to see Zeppelin in concert other than these videos and films. A hint for you young lady their acoustic work is very special. VERY!!! They have put their spin on a lot of traditional folk style music. I urge you to locate and review as much of it you as you can... You will NOT be sorry!! Hangman is a good one and the Rain Song!!!
This a is a beautiful guitar song! I have heard many people try to play it but most come up short. When he plays this song it matters VERY much weather you strum down or up! You can hold the same chord, strum up and then down and get two different sounds! The result was nothing but amazing! Look up the album "Rite of Strings" by DiMeola, Clarke and Ponté. Amazing violin work by Jon Luke Ponté.
If you want to have more subscribers etc. I suggest you play more Led Zeppelin the band from the 70’s. They have a huge diehard following, & have for 50 plus years. The greatest band to ever ROCK the world.
You are a very beautiful lady, also this song came to be by George Harrison from the Beatles commented to Jimmy Page , quote yall meaning Led Zeppelin are good but you don’t write any ballads end quote! Now we have the greatest rock ballad of all time! I encourage you to watch the live version of this song ‘73 MSG show, that one is the best version imho!!!❤
Can never beat Led Zeppelin. That was music the way it ought to be made. The sounds jimmy page creates 0n the guitar is amazing. As a guitarist, I should know.
Hello beautiful Vivian.❤❤❤❤ The Rain Song is from the album Houses of the Holy from 1973. Notice the background noise is gone. You love violin because of your classic music background. Maybe the next video? The Bee Gees with Be Who You Are. The intro starts with violins. It gives me the chills. Love you much❤❤💕💗 Leon.
It was summertime and we were going up to the mountains of New Hampshire camping. It felt like it hadn’t rained in weeks and was so hot. I was waiting for my now husband to finish getting ready to go and I had nothing much to do so I sat down in front of our jeep and painted Rain Song on a piece of cardboard and put it on the front of the jeep. It must’ve been an omen because by the time we got to our campsite it was raining but it felt great. Now Rain Song is in my email address. And I’m Zep to my friends. I’m five days younger than Robert Plant. My husband has the same initials JP and birthday (not year tho) as Jimmy Page and my Dad died 9/25/80, same day John Bonham did.😔 My favorite song of theirs. I’ve seen Robert at the Orpheum & Harbor Lights in Boston, with Jimmy in the Unledded tour at Boston Garden, before it was ripped down, and Robert at the Worcester Centrum and Great Woods in Mansfield, Ma.
my older sister had tickets to led zeppelin at the boston gardens in 1975... which got cancelled because they let a bunch of kids waiting outside in the rain the night before for tickets stay inside.....bad idea... seats got torn up...fires set...sinks and toilets smashed so they not only cancelled the show.... but zeppelin was banned from playing there for years.... like it was their fault 😡
This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song to play on my acoustic.The Rain Song,and Pink Floyd’s Wish You We’re Here are great acoustic songs I love to play.Stairway To Heaven is for my electric guitar.🎸🔥😍✌️
A beautiful woman, with an obviously epic soul, ( as she knows when to listen, instead of speaking when we need to listen) fully immersed in a beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. Good deal
Some context, Jimmy uses a very special, obscure tuning for this song, Robert puts his esoteric lyrics and vocals in and you have one of the most beautiful songs ever. I learned to play this song on guitar and I still marvel at how Jimmy could even come up with it. A true musical virtuoso, Jimmy is.
Before I knew it was an alternate tuning I learned it in standard tuning. It's HARD to play that way. Now it's too late because all my muscle memory is for standard tuning.
That's somewhat of an exaggeration to say "years and years" as he only did part-time session work whilst as a student at art school from late 1962 to mid 1964. It was when he left art school in mid 1964 that he became a full-time session musician and was booked as the #3 choice behind Big Jim Sullivan and Vic Flick. He did that for two years before joining the Yardbirds in mid 1966.
This is my first time seeing your channel and I just Love your reaction to this awesome song. I noticed that you intently wanted to close your eyes to take in the complete harmony and melody of this song. I was actually thrilled to be able to gaze upon your beauty while enjoying this song for the millionth time. I am a baby boomer totally mesmerized by this great Rock group known as Led Zepellin. They will go down in the annals of history as classical Rock and Roll. 200, to 300 years from now their music will be looked upon as does Mozart, Beethoven and the other greats except that they will be a thousand percent more popular. There never has been 4 great, magically talented musicians whose music changed the world like Led Zepellin has. They lasted 10 years and when they lost their drummer, the remaining 3 members agreed they could not continue. You are a very beautiful women and I pray God bless you and your life with health, joy and goodness...God Bless !
Rain Song was on zeps 5th album. A couple tracks well one track Over the Hills and Far Away is an iconic rock song. The whole album is good though not as remarkable as a few other Zep albums. We used to call it a "come down" album; one we listened to when the party was over or even the next morning. The idea that 45 years later i would be watching zep perform with an orchestra and someone "reacting" on a yt video - well it wasnt even conceivable. Yet here we are. Over the Hills and Far Away is worthchecking out from the album itself. Summer 1978.
I was a child when this song came out, as an adult i still love it! Seriously, it makes me really happy that the younger generation appreciates it too! What a wonderful song it is!
It was a damn shame that they didn't invite John Paul Jones for this. It's an absolute tragedy he's not there for this. He would have lit that stage up! Hard to replace a player like JPJ. Also, LOVED your video!! THAT's how you make a video. Chill and enjoy the song!!!
I seen them with Jason B in the 90's with the USC orchestra at the Greek theater. Oh what chills this brings back all them kids that played with them I bet are still talking about it.
Page and Plant with Jason B? Do you mean Jason Bonham? Page and Plant played the Forum with Michael Lee on drums and a local orchestra as well as an Egyptian ensamble.
I totally love that so many people are getting into the RU-vid world these days but I truly believe when they use a zeppelin platform they just know it will be instant success because they were so great. Saying that most of these posts from the posties have no clue what they are even posting other then knowing a lot of people dug this iconic band. Please don’t rip these guys off.
It's almost hard to imagine that a lovely song like this was created by by a group that ALSO created Communication Breakdown. Both great songs, 180 degrees different. This is an incredible work that I loved the first time I ever heard it, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, in the early 1970's. I always considered this a far greater song than Stairway, for the reason that the music is as wonderful or better, and the lyrics apply to all of us, wherever we happen to be in life.
Good morning! Since you said you "love strings", I suggest that you find any artist oon RU-vid that plays a harp guitar. It takes some to play it, and they just look fantastic as a piece of architecture. I also suggest any hurdy-gurdy artists. yes, really, hurdy gurdy!
"The Rain Song" is my all-time favorite guitar chord progression. This song charms me on so many different levels, I simply cannot explain it. But . . . I do remember it was about the third time I listened to it carefully. I realized that I absolutely "had to" learn how to play it for myself. I spent an entire summer learning the chords and the rhythm. IT IS NOT AN EASY SONG! And ever since then, I have had a special bond with the music itself, as well as the lyrics which are phrased more deeply than anything of its time, including up to current days. There is more going on inside this song, as well as outside the framework of what one may say is "just a song". But no, this song is a true masterpiece. I want this song to be played at my funeral . . . whenever that may be. Thank you for presenting this song to your audience. God Bless!
IAM 67 years old I think I was like 17 when I seen them live ,what a time for music,this was a song for making out ,wow what memories,todays music IAM sorry to say does not have that,timeless classic LED Zeppelin ❤by the way you are so beautiful ❤️
Loved this bands from day one best ever. Under rated better than Beatles, Pink Floyd, and they were really good bands. if I was on an island and can only have one band to listen to it would be Led Zeppelin
hiya, i was about your age when this album came out and well into zeppelin. Me and my girlfriend had recently met and she bought me the album for my birthday. well it was perfect chemistry and we fell in love and moved in together. a few years later we were married, had kids and lived a life. Through all of that, this was our song. Its so nice to hear this recording. Thank you. Were both pensioners now and still dancing, LIve long and prosper sweetheart.
I submitted for two reasons. One, was the Bee Gees Too Much Heaven and the second was The Rain Song, quite possibly the second greatest performance ever recorded live. Lynyrd Skynyrd Freebird would be the first.
One of my favorite songs. I had a couple of live shows on CD from Zeppelin. When my daughter was 3-5 she used to ask me to play the The Rain Song from the Song Remains The Same. She’s now 26 & is still a fan
