    This song means so much to me. I played it for my great grandma while she was passing to calm her. It was one of the hardest things i’ve ever done. The last thing she said to me was “beautiful music”. I’ll never forget that and every time I hear this song I get emotional. Love you Mamo R.I.P.
    Thank you all for your kind words. It has been hard without her but I have all of you to thank for helping me get through this. All of your comments mean so much to me and I am truly grateful for all of the thoughtful things you all have said. Thank you.

      Listening to special music transcends our mortal fears. I sing to my dad now and then. Though now maybe he is in another life. Prayers open like orange lights and guide them in the dark valley. Your granma felt her soul for special music does that and that will preserve her conciousness and keep her senses tuned to the bigger world.

    I've known this song since l was 16. I'm now 63 and a retired pro guitarist. I've never seen this version before. I'm in tears. Plant and page are mesmerising as is the backing ensemble. I'm watching it for the third time now. They'll never be another band like Zeppelin.

      Yeah, for me Tool and everything with Josh Homme is great.
      (and many other Stoner Rock and Math Rock bands)
      Glad to hear a young feller appreciating one of my favorites. I'll be 58 this year and for me, it was so cool to hear this the way I remember it. Check out whatever older versions you find here on the RUclipss. Watching this today with a 62 year old friend and we were trying to guess the year. The description says 2011, but they look too young.
      We figured it was maybe sometime in the 90s.

      No not really. I was a dyed in the wool Led Zepplin fan while everyone else was listening to motown and soul. Then, soon after came *gag* disco. (sorry, I puked in my mouth). The rockers listened to Iron Maiden, Iron Butterfly, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Jimi. The Led Zepplin songs that got air time was The Crunge, Whole Lotta Love, and Black Dog. Stairway to Heaven of course. But Rain Song? Nope. Just us small minority of devoted fans who had all the albums appreciated this and other great works of art by this awesome band.

    Such an amazing song.
    I know that everyone gets a hard on over stairway to heaven (and yes; it’s a great song) but The Rain Song is without question the greatest musical achievement of Led Zeppelin, this song; more than anything else I have ever listened to, is a fundamental emotional touch stone for me. Beautiful; eldritch, transcendent. People will be playing this a thousand years from now (assuming we make it that far)

    • @cherylphelan2422
      @cherylphelan2422 10 месяцев назад +1

      My father died the same day John Bonham died…September 25,1980.
      My Husband’s initials are JP and he was born on Jimmy Page’s birthday, January 9.
      I was born five days after Robert Plant was born. 8/25/1948 and 8/20/1948
      I’ve had dreams about Robert Plant and he was so real.
      Once I prayed so hard to God that I could have a chance to tell him I loved him, though it seemed impossible it could ever happen. Within a year we had gotten front row seats to the 2000 seating Orpheum theater in Boston. A few things happened during the concert. A guy ran down to the front row. Robert Plant was looking down & never saw him and the guy hopped up on stage and rushed to hug him…immediately someone from off stage grabbed the guy and took him off the other side of the stage without Robert Plant even seeing him. He must have felt him though he looked up directly at me and I said it’s OK and he just went on with the show. After his last encore as he walked off, he looked right at me and grinned. I turned and gestured to the audience and said “we love you” and looked back at him and he was still grinning. It was magical and God had answered my prayer.

Amazing, amazing genius!

I missed a chance to see the tour but a buddy of mine did see them. 26 years later he still talks about it. He is quite the guitar player himself, so you can imagine how much he enjoyed the Plant/ Page tour. We used to get stoned when my friend was learning guitar. I would be at the turntable trying to drop the needle at just the right spot of a LZ album so he could try and learn a Page riff. Good times- old school guitar learning.

      Yes it's true, he asked Bonzo and Bonzo told Jimmy, then Jimmy said "I will give him a ballad"
      That's why Jimmy Page quoted "Something" in the first two chords of this song in a sweet nod to George Harrison❤️

      @crakatini - I saw Led Zeppelin once in concert in a large stadium in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1978. Toward the end, they performed this magical musical masterpiece, followed by their equally magical "Kashmir" - the set list had "The Rain Song" and "Kashmir" in sequence because of the Jimmy Page-inspired open tuning on his Gibson SG double neck electric guitar. I swear that half way through "Kashmir", the stadium rose from ground level a few feet and into the 4th Dimension. And... no - I was completely sober (... 😇) which was known as a good idea when attending an LZ concert in the late 1970's because... the experience was LOUD, VISUALLY INTENSE [their light shows were intense] and the 4 members musicality (the singing voice of Robert Plant is akin to a musical instrument) left most in attendance awe-struck.

      Check out the video with young children listening to LZ and 99% love it. But there's one kid who states, "I don't like music with musical instruments." LOL!!! Well, it's not music then, is it?
