This is not only the most beautiful song by Led Zeppelin, it is also one of the most beautiful songs by anybody.
as the legend goes....george harrison said to jimmy...zeppelin should have a ballad in its repertoire...jimmy went on to write the rain song.....
Harrison may have said it.......but it still makes no sense, because by the time this song was written, Plant & Page had already written AT LEAST SEVERAL ballads. Here ya go: Led Zeppelin 1: "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", Led Zeppelin ll: "Thank You", "What Is and What Should Never Be", AND "Ramble On". Led Zeppelin lll: "Tangerine", and "That's the Way" ..........ALL of these songs clearly qualify as ballads, and that's just off of their first 3 studio albums. There may be yet a couple more that I can't think of at the moment, and be that as it may, "The Rain Song" finally appeared on their FIFTH studio album: "Houses of the Holy". So even if the story is true about Harrison telling Page "You should have a ballad in your repertoire"........it still makes no sense. It's like telling Henry Ford after decades of Ford auto production that included the Model T and Model A: "You should build a car that most people can afford". ( Henry Ford was perhaps THE VERY FIRST American auto maker to build models on an assembly line that didn't cost a King's ransom. Before that, most if not all automobiles produced in America were very expensive, and only the rich could afford them.)@@davidgreene7676
@@howabouthetruth2157 Harrison was a bit of an A-hole,sometimes(rest his soul)..............perfect response by Page .He wrote it with a descending chromatic progression as did ''Something'' by the Beatles.I believe ,though, Harrison said'' You should write a proper ballad''.I may be wrong.
Saw them in 1973 at the forum . I was 14 my early birthday present-4th row back. It was and still is best birthday present ever…!!!
LUCKY
Blessed be the lucky ones for they shall see the stairway to heaven 🙏
Sold out the fabulous Forum 7 nights in a row.
It was a great musical era, real musicians not computers
These two men kept me sane during the most trying times in my life. How do you thank your heroes?
I think you just did 🤙
Theres 2 more men that made up led zeppelin, they were equally as talented and without them none of Led Zeppelins catalog of songs wouldve existed.
By spreading the word. We, the listeners, make music historically important and nothing could possibly make Jimmy and Robert happier than that.
You can say thank you by keeping them and the music close to your heart, and being grateful that we still have them…
HOW??? pass it on to any & everyone !
when you reach your 7th decade and have amassed thousands of listened songs it feels strange that the song you fell in love back in the early 70s is still number 1 😊
Im just ten years behind and feel the exact same way !
Tengo 69 años, crecí y viví la mejor época del rock, y ésto me remonta a mis años jóvenes, los que nunca volverán con esa magia y esa calidad de composición. La magia de aquella época las nuevas generaciones no tendrán ni la más mínima noción...qué pena...
68 here... this takes me waaaayyyyyy back.... it felt good
It never gets old......it’s timeless 😀
Just electrifying. Timeless.
I'm damn near 60 yrs old, and I can still tell you all about the exact day and time I heard this song for the very first time. And every time I hear it I'm taken back to that day and time......great memories!
Me too... it was released the day after i arrived at boot camp in 1973, can't help on the time tho... I'm about a decade older than you so my time back then might be a little blurrier...agree on the memories.
The 70s was the best decade for the best music ever made.❤
There are ZERO people that can now or will ever match Jimmy Page's phrasing. UN-TOUCHABLE ! I've been playing guitar my whole life, been a guitar instructor for 16 years, also had a decent music career and still write song now, but never will I be able to come close to the master. NO ONE ever will. Jimmy Page is a legend, and will never be matched. Ever. He was my favourite guitar player when I was 5 years old, and he's still my favourite guitar player to this day. I wish I could write like that. Learning one of Jimmy's songs is one thing... but to have written it shows what a musical genius he really is. Page and Plant were a magical force, backed up my more magic from John P. Jones and Bonzo . all Masters and legends.
They also plagiarised a dozen songs!
@@EdBenji None of those songs as recorded would have sold anything when Zep recorded them... Jimmy turned them into classic Blues/Rock classics, and they considered some as "classics" not requiring credits.
@@michael52250 But that's not the point!
@@EdBenji Excuse me?
It certainly is my point...
@@michael52250 Explain that to those original artists that ZEP ripped off..
There are periods in time when some music and some musicians are truly magical. The 70's was one of those periods.
black magic maybe?
Many artists of the 70's were tasting LSD
thats probably why such creative music & lyric's were formed in that era
folk just seemed to have so much to say in their music
America are another good example, the lyric's in some of their songs are bizarre to say the least. Jim Morrison & Co were the same. Maybe the free & easy innocent lifestyle back then contributed allot as well, definitely a most memorable era in music. allot of famous artists of the 70's also had pretty good bible knowledge, & it subtlety showed in their lyric's. Iron Maiden are one example.
But wut about Lil Pump Jim?
i like air supply
Jim Getten Knebworth '79 !!
one of the best and most beautiful songs ever written.
Truly an acostic guitar masterpiece. Zeppelins music was so versatile, creative and ahead of its time.
Ahead of all times.
There's nothing like listening to this for the first time
Some 10 years ago I was so enamored of this song I figured out the tuning and learned to play the guitar part. It is not only a real handful to play completely but a fascinating song. It is for me Jimmy Page’s finest writing and playing along with Black Mountain Side for many similar reasons. No other instrument could make these sounds harmonically and rhythmically. They are uniquely guitar pieces and uniquely Jimmy Page.
Well Jimmy and Bert Jansch anyway
ABSOLUTELY!!
Me too Brother. Only I learned this song back around 1989 ( in the correct open tuning ) and I play and sing it at the same time. You are correct when you say "it's a handful to play".........and even harder to sing it at the same time. But I've been nailing it for years now, vocals and all. With a high quality acoustic guitar, this song is downright majestic. Back when I was professionally gigging all over east/central Florida, I used to mesmerize my audiences with this one ( and others as well, but this was the mac daddy of em all. ) To this day, I've never seen anyone else play AND sing this song at the same time.
Much like Brian May he had a guitar specialist for him..
I learned it too, I can only play it, no WAY I'm trying to sing it too😂😂😂😅😅😅
This song belongs to one of the best contributions to the history of music, and this performance is perfectly beautiful. Led Zeppelin is one of the best bands ever.
I miss real music. I was lucky to grow up in the 70's when you could turn on the rock station on the FM radio and 90% of the songs were great! It was before rap and hip hop ruined the music industry.
Man I got goose bumps. Watching Jimmy in his element, no electric guitar, no distortion just crisp note playing with Robert's smooth voice. Just wow!
Great accopello. 👍
Most of the time, when Jimmy plays live, he plays sloppy. This is one of the few times that he shows his craftsmanship during a live performance.
@@fernandovega5722 Huh?
@@user-ie5rr7mj9u Sloppy????? One of the best live guitar players EVER!!!!!!
An absolute masterpiece. Beautifully written and arranged, and exquisitely performed.
Wow - Page and Plant at their absolute best , just how Jimmy was meant to play as a lead - the orchestra was phenomenal...but add that stand up base player who was spot on and the drummer - who had to know he was being judged at the level of Bonham, he nailed it...what a great performance
There is no band like this - nor will there ever be one like this again. Awesome job guys!
Ah, Jimmy Page, pure genius! Beautiful, exquisite simplicity of perfection. ❤
Outmost PERFECTION❤❤!!!!!!!
I know of no other song like this. Such an original yet natural and fluid composition
Bohemian Rhapsody is a good but different one.
@@fernandovega5722 I agree, but it’s originality is perhaps more of a stylistic and structural one. Each section has more of a direct association with a specific genre, so it’s just easier for me to pin down (speaking as a lifelong queen devotee). This is not detracting from bohemian which was unquestioningly revolutionary, and probably much more impactful on the industry. Led Zeppelin just every once in a while go places where I am not sure where they ever came from. Rain song is a true, holistic and raw vibe. It really is what it proposes to be and it creates the space that it’s more formally about, without straying from the primal experience of it.
I cannot stop listening to this. One of the most dynamic, and beautiful pieces of ever written.
Yes,yes,DIVINE,DIVINE!!!
it took an entire orchestra to replace John Paul Jones
And still they didn't get it right
Can never be duplicated. A flawless historical music moment. Its priceless that it was so well recorded. A masterpiece!
I’m so glad I grew up in 60 70 & 80s with all the great bands that played great music, my favourite Pink Floyd.
Me tool love you whoever you are!
Me TOO!
Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Robert Johnson, Dylan…and Led Zeppelin. In a thousand years people might not be listening to much from these times, but I bet they will still be listening to this song. Glorious.
This song makes me weep with joy ❤️
My love of this song is unexplainable. It brings me to tears. No I mean it.
Jimmy you are so unbelievable at your craft. I can't explain all the emotions this song brings up in me. With Bobby's voice and the violins. .
I've Always adored the acoustic guitar with the finger picking. Beautiful riffs.
Thank you for what you have adorned my life with.
Love, Julie
Yes Julie. It's Is Beautiful. And I Feel You. 🙂
You speak truth, Julie. For some of us, it is that magical.
Aaaahh...Julie, it's not 'Bobby', it is "Robert" lmao
Jimmy Page is inspired and gifted, that is for sure.
He was also a heroin addict at the time of being 'inspired' to come up with this composition.
Do you really think he would have this tune if not for the drug induced dream state and the 'inspiration' that goes with it?
He was also practicing Occult craft . . . I'll say no more.
Agreed 100
I feel the same way. When I first heard this song, I experienced feelings and imagery like never before. Every time I hear it, the same exact experience repeats. I could never explain it to anyone, except to say that it is transporting. I absolutely fell in love with it from day one, and to this day it is still my number one Zeppelin tune.
These group of guys mean so much to me as I grew up and matured in my 66+ years.
I am blown back still and I feel great that I shall be able to hang out with them as they are believers in the Lord.
Outstanding !
I haven't listened to this in many years and I am reminded of the great art in this piece. They are far more than nasty rockers, druggers--they have created performance art worthy of anyone's respect/admiration.
Plus they had 1000s of chick's along the way
Absolutely!
I listen to this song often. One of my very favorites in the world.
This song is so beautiful. Its a trip through time and space that reaches to the deepest emotion. It says so much. Almost describing a life cycle.
Brilliant performance of a powerful and majestic song.
The audio and video quality are both fantastic, as well as the performance. Whoever arranged this was a master.
whoever...is jimmy (audio) with the live performance arangement
The most beautiful song. People who write songs like that are inherently good.
I keep returning to this. I am at a loss of words to describe how much I value this version of “The Rain Song.”
There is a reason they are rock legends and this video tells you everything you need to know. Thanks for stirring my memories.
My father just passed away.91.This is inspirational.
My God..
this song is SO serene and perfect.
O. M.. G.... There is no other band that can do this. Like a portal to a better dimension.
MASTERPIECE in Every sense of the word, ⭐️🌞❤️👍🏻
Fantastic! I love Jimmy when he sticks closer to the original score, like this. The greatest studio guitarist! Countless perfect phrases, licks, riffs and compositions on vinyl! The live catalogue is testament to years playing roulette with his health and living on the edge; I don’t enjoy the notorious sloppiness consistently, though it must have been phenomenal in the audience. But recorded, and in tight examples such as this, Page was one of our eras greatest composers!!❤❤❤
Jimmy Page was a musical genius, Robert Plant was the poet.
Seems that your forgot to mention John Paul Jones the arranger that glued and tied the band together during 12 years. Such a nice, humble, lovely, humorous ans all-encompassing human being.
It's as much a joy watching Jimmy's face as he plays as it is listening to Robert Plant's voice. This song is a masterwork. Page may not be a graceful or technically dazzling guitarist, but he is one damned GREAT one. He and Plant are like magic together.
It's amazing the greater power in the cosmos can bring different people together and have them craft timeless music like this; (think of bands like The Beatles, Rush, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Earth, Wind, & Fire, to name a few). As I grow older, this music only ages like fine wine.
Oh, my god! That is absolutely beautiful. From Jimmy's playing that guitar that sounds like a 12-string, to Robert's beautiful voice and that amazing arrangement with the orchestra for backup.Fine drumming too. Just 200% all the way. Liked how at the end Jimmy throws down the pick and softens the guitar by firnger picking it.
One of the most beautiful songs.
Great drum sound!! RIP Michael Lee...
Yea, I sound like the old man that I mocked when I was young. But this was a magical time for music. All had a unique sound and feeling. True originality. Music being produced now does not come close to the true talent on display here. I feel sorry for today's generation. Because most don't even want to know.
I am not a Led Zeppelin die hard fan. I clicked because of the era of music. I was not disappointed. Witnessed real talent that I had been missing.
Wow! Greatest rock band of all time.
Jimmy Page and his musical genius at work with Robert Plants voice created some of the best music I have ever listened to!
Hello thanks for watching and commenting on my RUclips channel God bless you 🙏, hope you don’t stop with your love and support💛 ,kindly drop your email address below for more details about my upcoming album, concert or Tour 🎹🇺🇸
Man this one is RIGHT THERE with the album recording! I don't think I've ever heard a live song equal to the original recording like this one does.
People will be listening to this hundreds of years from now, if we are still here.
Can you imagine being on stage with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant! What an honor that would be in its self!
One of the BEST songs ever written!
Music Mom nonsense
Back when this came out on VHS…before RUclips etc I learned to play this song by watching him play here. Play, rewind, play, rewind, play, rewind.
In my opinion, this is where Page really shines. His compositions a wonderful and I think he is better on acoustic guitar than electric.
I hear you, but I respectfully disagree. everything he does is intentional. he plays loose on the electric, tight on the acoustic. he means to do that.
these guys will be remembered forever in time , true artists
Powerful, stunning, the pure emotion of this song. Never will there be music of this class again, nothing comes even remotely close.. Led Zeppelin was a gift to humanity.
Such an awesome band! Saw them live one time in Dallas, Texas in the early ‘70’s which is hard to believe now when I think about it! Incredible!
There will never be music like this again
I just want to say the orchestra should be very proud and wow what a memory for them,to look back at a video and say you played with these two legends of our music world and what a job you did !
yeah it put John Paul Jones out of a job. He has always been a professional string arranger since he was just a little 16 year old child. A STRING ARRANGER!
Katfish Jak John Paul Jones was just as important as any one of the other three for Led Zeppelin's sound. Bass players just don't get the same amount of love as the others
He also arranged strings for the tracks, "Drive", "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite", "Everybody Hurts", and "Nightswimming" on REM's album, "Automatic For The People."
I agree beautiful
Michael Lee , honestly played some great drums.....may his soul rest in everlasting ☮️ peace.....
he did such a great job with the lads,,,,big shoes to fill and he did
oh, the upside down broken cross symbolism supposedly a symbol of 'peace'.
Think again.
@@munter10😂
Truly magical! Loving my teen age years...wonderful musical era...Yes!
Rock on, girl 👍🌹🌹💕
A masterpiece.
incredible. The power and energy of this song. The crescendos.
My God, that is some absolutely beautiful rock 'n roll! Long live the Zepp!
Jimmy is conducting a master class in acoustic guitar with this song. Wish we would have had RUclips 50 years ago when I was learning how to play guitar. I would have watched this video a hundred times to get this song.
Outstanding Performance by some very talented musicians. Thank you.
Ive commented here before. I love Led Zeppelin since I'm a kid when they were still around. if this song doesn't make you sit with a tilted head , getting goose bumps and needing to breath deep you have no feeling for music as some do . This song is just astonishingly put together and executed here. Thank you !
They are so awesome, amazing and You have got to see them Live-nothing like it. John Bonham on drums to die for. I love them. Seen them live is never enough.
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing,😘😱;-)
love how john paul jones is represented by over 10 people - beautifully by the way. This was top notch.
Yesss! JPJ is missing, but not forgotten.
Brought a tear to my eyes, fantastic song and so well executed 👍
Wow, what a awesome performance , fortunate to see them couple times, the sound of acoustic guitar just incredible , Jimmy page badass
goosebumps everytime...this never fails to deliver
Really, I fell asleep
@@cirrus1964. Only a true dick would post a comment like you did.
@@cirrus1964 your loss
Seems you can't distinguish emotions one has with music, and the real quality. There is mo "loss for me whatsoever" you are just a person, and there are many, who can stand if someone gives not their opinion.@@TheDeecue
@@cirrus1964 okee dokee...
Got to see them 2x during the No Quarter tour. Beyond amazing. Page is simply genius here.
Man seen AC/Dc 6 times seen them in Jax the page plant tour
I love this song, but right at about 7:20, the smiles between Plant and Page is the essence of the old Zeppelin. My favorite of all time 🎸
Plants look of gratitude, approval - nothing needs to be said.
I can imagine Jimmy sitting on his porch with his guitar picking this song out of thin air during a rain shower. Sweet as hearing rain splash on the garden leaves. cheers
Im so blessed I grew up in the 70s as a teenager and got to see so many bands at concerts and listen to all my favorites on vinyl .....and going to all the parties where all the local bands would cover all this great music .... went to 80 or more concerts in those days and I can remember for as little as $5.00 to $12.00 to see and listen to all the legends ! Zepplin of course and they were one and my favorites.....thanks for the upload and time machine ,,,,cheers
The most Sensational rock and roll songs in history in my opinion
You haven't lived if you have never heard these songs. So glad to have lived in this era of music ,such good bands thanks to all involved in the making of these amazing songs
Jimmy's smile at the end says it all.
Simon Hawkins ...and Robert's approval nod afterwards is classic.
He has such a beautiful smile :)
and he did nail it!!!!
Simon Hawkin
Frank Piot Art is always about self interpretation... There's a line in it around the end that says something, "upon us all, upon us all, a little rain must fall." My thoughts, it's about the sad and not so good times that we all have to go through. It's a beautiful song because it's not meant to be sad. It's a reminder that even though we go through the hard times, there will always be times we cherish. The line, "But I know, that I love you so," says it all... I mean it's just a little rain 😏
The rain song by Plant and Page is phenomenal. Couldn't get any better than this!
Hmm… maybe, but Thank you
It was so awesome to grow up in the 70's. We did have the BEST music 🎶 in history. Jimmy plays this song easier than most people tie their shoes. The notes just easily flow from his fingers to the strings. I close my eyes 👀 relax and listen to wipe away the stress of the day😌. The kids today don't understand, even if we are 55, 60, 65, or even 70 plus we know how to ROCK. They didn't invent rock n' roll, it's an entity all in itself that lives on through generations 😍
Donna Rupert! v
😮😑😑😬😮
Sorry Donna, kids today understand and continue to write and play music, different but not less beautiful. And neither did you Donna invent rock’n’roll… humans were rocking in different parts of the world long, long before you were born ;-)
@@philippeb1507But it sucks. Short attention spans and overly focused on visuals.
@@spacejockey4746
I’m not sure about this conversation, but it seems to me that some here have a problem with the new generation and live in the past. But who gave birth to this generation ? Who educated them. Who where by their side to convey the good values. Who protected them against the furious predation of their attention by the big names of the Silicon Valley. More, who created those social platforms and meticulously studied how to grab and maintain hold on the kid’s attention. A young generation is nothing less than the product of the preceding generation now grown adults.
As to the attention span, especially in the practice of music I see no less capacity for concentration in the young than in the adults (modulo the age difference). But I don’t see what those subjects have to do with rock’n’roll…
Subsidiary questions: how many of you shut down their phone or tablet or tv two hours before going to bed and grab a book ? How many of you read more than 10 books a year front to back ? How many of you spend less than 2 hours (which is about 1/5th of the free time) on phone/tablet/computer during their free time ?
Absolutely !
WOW…what a song, what a performance!!!
The most beautiful song I've ever heard in my lifetime, congratulations to whom it may concern! The Rain Song...
Bonita Distefano They (Plant and Page) co-wrote this song.
Bonita Distefano . It's a mess .
Bonita Distefano ♥
Bonita Distefano also like thank you just about the same!
Bonita Distefano Absolutely !!!! Cheers Zep is the best !!!
What's there to say? Lol, the mighty, MIGHTY Zeppelin!!!! That is sheer genius. I remember when I first heard that song, I was around fifteen or sixteen and I was on a plane heading to the Caribbean the skies were so blue and my God this sound came in and I literally wept from the beauty that I was experiencing. That music, the blue so beautiful of the sky the clouds and the rays of the sun. I was in Nirvana at that moment in time. I always wonder what would it be like to watch Mozart sit down right in the front row of that stage while theyre doing this song like this, what would be his emotions? What would he think? It would be so interesting to me to know. This song is gorgeous one of their absolute best in my opinion
Chanson magique et intemporelle.
The magic these two have created is a fireball of creativity and wonder!

@@matthewclarke1926 You’re correct 4, but I was specifically saying two because that’s who’s on stage lol 😂
Woooow absolutely amazing! It seemed like robert got swept away in his emotions at the end, sooooooo powerful! Put aside their mischievous past as we all do dumb things when we’re young (Especially young and with alot of money) this song is a musical masterpiece! I wonder what the emotions of the orchestra were like on this spectacular evening…
NEVER GETS OLD !!!!
This Song is just so freaking Beautiful...and it's from the 70s.I think it's the Best Rock Ballad Ever
Just amazing ,never gets old , love Led Zeppelin
Watching Jimmy Page flow through that piece earned my everlasting respect as a guitar player. Combined with Robert Plant and the orchestra, an inspired performance.
Amazingly, Beautiful 😊❤!!Robert And Jimmy Are Magical!! 😊
It was that rainy afternoon late in November when I think of listening to this back in the late 70s. Such a dreamy beautiful song.
Jimmy Page - truly one of the greatest guitarist of a generation
There is something which is sublime about this song,and this performance.
They have always been exceptional!
I’m so glad I was born when I was, I would’ve missed all of this! Thank you, mom and dad!
LYRICS:
It is the springtime of my loving
The second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I've felt before
It isn't hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low, oh
It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me, keepers of the gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you, I give this tune
Ain't so hard to recognize, oh
These things are clear to all from time to time, ooh
Oh, oh
Oh
Talk, talk, talk, talk
Hey, I felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us
But I know that I love you so
Oh, but I know
That I love you so
These are the seasons of emotion
And like the wind, they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch
We all must hold
This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient
Upon us all, upon us all, a little rain must fall
Just a little rain, oh, yeah
Oh, ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah

Thank You!💞👍
A smile from Jimmy and a nod n'a wink from Robert , then Plant waves his arm at Page to say, "ahhh genius", and it was.
Don't let anyone ever try and tell you that LED ZEPPELIN, does does not sit firmly at the very top of Rock n' Roll.
The song Rock and Roll, it's very best song.
PERIOD !!
