I've been listening to this song for over 40 years and I never tire of it. It's a shame that today's music has lost its roots.
Most of today’s music has no connection to those roots. That’s why it sucks so bad!
I got to tell you...it really moves me to hear all your comments about Led Zeppelin. You see I'm 72 years old. And when I first heard them ..you know away back then; I recall saying to myself these guys are something else and they are special. Little did I know. I was into a lot of great music back then, but I knew something was different about these guys.
So it feels really really good to hear your comments. I know some of you are very young and into Zep. I find that really kewl. I know some of you wish you were born in my generation; and I know some of you were willing to lose a testicle if you could have seen them.
I was a lucky lucky man. Zeppelin was the first concert I ever saw. It was their first tour. When I recall that performance even today; I shake my head in disbelief because it was sooo unbelievable. I was so powerful, that two of my friends actually left somewhere in the middle of the show. They said they literaly crawled out of the Montreal Fourm on hands and knees because they couldn't take it anymore. It was just too much for them.
Well my luck didn't run out. I saw Led Zeppelin 3 more times after that. Man... I wish you guys could have been there. Your lucky to have video and amazing stereos. I know it isn't the same...but it's the best your gonna get. What a group. 72 and I love them as much and more today as I did back then. Nice to have the company guys.
Jorge Arturo Naranjo Hidalgo Thanks bud
+Robert Worth In what sense was it too much for them? I mean if you like something, why would you walk away from it? And why crawl? That's slower than walking :).
+Fyloeu They said it was too overwhelming and they couldn't handle the performance any more. It was just too powerful. They told me the literly crawled out of the Montreal Forum on hands and knees. I didn't even realize they had left. that was back in 1970 and I have not seen them since that time period. I wish I could see them and ask about the experience.
+Robert Worth It's not that hard to make a contact these days if you want, eh? ;) Thanks for the story.
+Robert Worth ....I first came to Led Zep in the mid 80s, long after they had disbanded, and as a youth, and discovered the best band on earth. LZ are simply the best band ever. No other band comes close!
Perfect example of how great the writing team of Page (music)/Plant (lyrics) are. Their performance live is second to none. This is real music!
This is probably one of the best live acoustic performances ever! Jimmy Page is excellent!
Page is always excellent on acoustic guitar even on his worst years .
"Stairway To Heaven" is a classic, a masterpiece, and deservedly. But "Rain Song" is also a work of genius, and perhaps their best song in terms of structure, phrase, mood, and sophistication.
I listen every evening before going to bed. I'm 68 but still love this song
I could not agree more when an incredible genius masterpiece that is so underrated I like it better than stairway it’s the best melodically lyrically all love it absolute genius I love the lyrics to all of my love that’s an incredible piece of poetry but the music not so much…
I listen to "The Rain Song" every morning and evening. Although I am only 63, iam healing from a fall and learning to walk again. Before I die I must learn to play this. Turning all the 90 year olds on to Led Zeppelin. I love you Jimmy Page---- lose the girlfriend please. Debra
We are truly gifted by the musical love expressed by these persons!
Tune your guitar to DGCGCD and all will be right with the world.
A true musical masterpiece , and that is why after 60 or 70 years people of all ages are still listening to them , the demand for their last "Celebration days" concert exceeded 20 million , now if that does not prove how great they are.....then nothing will , their greatness will live for ever more.....
I was 14 years, when I listened the first time to "The rain song". Now I´m 64 and "The rain song" is my companion at least five times a week - Jimmy you´re a genius. I´m still looking for a green silk shirt with double-knobs on it, the one you wore impressed me so much ;-)
I honestly think music today has lost a lot of passion and its creativity. Nobody today can exert the energy and time needed to create the beautiful sound on an acoustic guitar like jimmy page. He is probably one of the most illustrious guitarist that has ever walked this planet. I Absolutely hope one day music like this returns to continue to make my ears and heart rise to crescendo.
How did Jimmy create such an amazing piece of music? This song just takes my breath away! A masterpiece of songwriting , and a testament to Page's talent as a composer.
The day only begins officialy when someone hears this song somewhere on earth.
+Danilo Almeida I agree completely … 💥
+Danilo Almeida I Felt it right now at this very moment, and speaking of which i feel like i am in heavens!
that's poetic.
That made me smile :)
I listen to some version of this song at least once per day.
Such a beautiful song. One of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs. Jimmy Page is such a great guitarist. Led Zepp rules!!!
My question is why am I just hearing this incredible version for the first time?! Maybe because I’ve worked so hard to take care of those I love and haven’t had much time for myself. But now I’m retired and do have time to listen and enjoy, and this sure was enjoyable! Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were/are superstars for a reason. Their music will last for centuries to come.
How in the heck have you never heard Led Zep’s back catalog after 40 years? Yea, the taking care of Family sounds so noble and “like” able on your part….but luckily, you just randomly stumbled onto this video and just heard this for the “first time”….congratulations Sir !?!
This is exactly the kind of music video I expected a cable channel with the title Music Television (MTV) to play, but it never happened. I enjoy music and watching those that create it and it has taken far too long to make videos like this easily accessible for those with busy lives.
I wouldn’t call sacrificing some of lives simple pleasures noble though, just responsible, and well worth it. As they say, sacrifice when you’re young so the future you can have an easier time of it.
it amazes me how jimmy comes up with these amazing riffs and pieces. especially coming up with tone and the tuning. he truly masterd the guitar.
It took a small village of talented Men and Women to make this beautiful SOUND, as ppl always did. Ppl working together for Beauty not Ugly.
People working together in concert to make this Sound a BEAUTIFUL Sound.
The Rain Song is a musical masterpiece! The sheer musical genius of Jimmy Page and the lyrical brilliance of Robert Plant is unsurpassed. John Paul Jones wrote the orchestral arrangement to this song. The world has been graced by the diverse musical catalogue of LED Zeppelin! We should all be grateful for their profound musical talent and their contribution to modern music. They were and will always be the greatest band ever!
Well said...100%👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘
Exactly...
All their songs are stolen covers.
@@Sammusg even if that were a true statement, could you play the guitar part for the entire song? That is what talent is.
@@davidpeterson9647 yes, I can. Lots of people can, it isn't that hard. Google how to learn it... And it is true, look it up.
Look at how many musicians it takes to "replace" John Paul Jones on stage !
JohnBindon
Soooooo right! Dont forget Bonzo.
+JohnBindon Samuel L. Jackson voice>>> "Interesting point!"
+JohnBindon Regardless, although they did a great job, no one can replace Jonesy, and let's not forget the late Bonzo!
ahahahaahaah, nice one!
Legendary. Epic. Unparalleled. Absolutely peerless. Best. Band. Ever.
no catch phrases...no repeating chorus....just pure and beautiful story telling.
In '73, I returned back to the U.S. after my time in the Vietnam War. Houses of the Holy was the first album I bought... well actually it was an 8-Track tape. I remember lying back with my headphones on and listening to The Rain Song and thinking, "Waooo, this is different". I fell in love with the song and 44 years later, I'm still here for more. The music helped me to heal after what I'd been through, though it took a long long time.
NEVER tire of this....Jimmy at his best.
jimmy's smile and robert's look at the end are priceless! So great music...
I was 13 when the Beatles did Ed Sullivan....it was 1st wave British Invasion and was a wonderful ride through my mid-teen years.....
Things started to heat up by summer 67.... SO much music ! We were drowning in it ! All the bands that broke out at Monterey Pop....Hendrix...Janis.....
But when The Zeppellin landed it took us all by surprise....Cream had been incredibly heavy but this was a whole new level.
I just cant explain how it all seemed to happen at once and how it all went away .
It was the best of times.
One of my all time favorite songs ever, I used to go to sleep with this song everynight when I was 17......a long time ago indeed, but I have never stopped listening to it. I LOVE this version. What a gift!
I know the Beatles had a million hits, but listening to this I am hard pressed to say the Beatles are better. Even after listening to these guys all my life I am still amazed.
Timeless beauty that never fades... it still shines as brilliantly as the day it was released.. and in 20 more years if I haven't left this earthly existence I will still say the same again.
THE 1 SONG THAT BRINGS TEARS, SIMPLY BECAUSE ITS SO SO BEAUTIFUL,.THANKS GUYS ,....
George Harrison suggested they wright a ballad, and this is what they came up with. This has always been my favorite Zep song and this particular recording , I think, is one of the very best. So glad I grew up in this time period. This is one you're gonna want to listen to more than once. So good!🛸
One of Led's best guitar compositions!
One of the greatest musical performances ever. Page and Plant have graced the world with unparalleled artistry. Thank you, gentlemen. Your work will last forever.
Wow... I was 16 in 1978, I found an 8 track on the ground broken. It was " The Song Remains the Same" Live. Geez... I spent some time splicing the tracks together.... I LOVED that album.... My youth, I miss those days so much. Thanks. Led Zep.;););)
もう、最高。美し過ぎる。
ザ・ビートルズの『サムシング』も美しいけど、ジョージ・ハリスンに馬鹿にされて作った『レイン・ソング』は、同じコード進行でそれ以上の作品。ジョン・ポール・ジョーンズのシンセサイザーも良かったけど、ボンゾのドラムスも、この曲では本当に見事な叩きっぷりだった。４人の力で、神の領域へ到達。遠い宇宙のどこかでも、雨が降ってる場所があるような気にさせる曲。『レッド・ツェッペリン』よ永遠に。

Jimmy gave me the incentive to enter the school of music at kent state in ohio and study classical guitar. my life trajectory would have been stuck in a blue collar community that in no way would have ever evolved..............thanks james
I never tire of playing this song, such a pleasure. Slow upward stroke on the opening note. HEAVEN
Agreed!
Everyone here is trying but there really aren't words to adequately describe how incredible this is. There is music written today that is enjoyable, but nothing like this. There should be a different word for this because it really is in a league of it's own.
С каждым годом все лучше,как старое вино!Спасибо.
согласна ❤
I love the small grins that Plant and Page share at the of the song-they knew they had nailed it-a great performance of a beautiful song
Thousands of words are spoken when Robert looks over to Jimmy and gives him that little nod after the solo at the end.
Steve Simpson....the look of knowing, the look of loving, the look of respect and admiration...one for the other....
Steve Simpson I can see them very happy here. My favorite Led Zeppelin song; great with the morning coffee, and such a friend late at night.
Chills man. Pure chills.
I thought I was the only one who noticed.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Rain Song written by Mr. Jimmy Page. Genius. Robert kicking some major vocal ass as usual.
I wish I would be there.Jimmy Page you are the God of rock history according to me.I am proud of myself cos I met and chat you and Robert Plant,Michael Lee (RİP) after your concert in İSTANBUL in 1998.I keep the record cover (Led Zeppelin 3) which I boughht in İtaly in 1980 and signed all of you.Sorry for poor English.
+Emin Kurnaz Your English is fantastic. Better than most Americans ;)
+Elizabeth Kindred thank you,it's kind of you and made me happy.
@@elizabethkindred6806 lolz
The man is undeniably "The Lord of the Strings "
This song will always remind me of one perfect summer night.
The last embers in the fire ring, cloudless sky with just a sliver of a moon. The sun's warmth still lingering on our skin.
No fear, no hesitation, just the promise of the moment.
I can’t even comprehend playing the acoustic guitar for that long and not screwing up any number of times.
There are many people who dont understand Led Zeppelin I am truly blessed to have been there to enjoy the 70's the best decade of my life , except for 1984 when my daughter was born........ there is a 10yrs maybe 12 yrs between us age wise and once i bought my first album Houses of the Holy I knew I found my main genre of music , I enjoyed a few others such as Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and Audioslave , Tom Petty, but what Zepplin had that very few other bands had was endurance , the ability to play a 9or 10 min song and kill it , do it justice and that is was Jimmy wanted , i recently read in an interview me and my group of friends could always enjoy our RP and JP to the end and never be tired , as Jimmy said in an interview and I quote how can you be tired of something you put your heart into and that you love so much, I have been on my own since 45 + yrs and that is true my stepfather put me out on the streets when i was 14 , I remember because I had to get a job and the law was a parent had to sign a work slip to get the job , it was hard beyond belief and now I also knew it was illegal but i had my music LED ZEPPELIN, I wish I could have been in that small exclusive group of people who got to see all they had to give and know what they were experiencing in that intimate setting in Denmark truly musical geniuses
난 가끔 반복되는 일상의 퇴근길에 이곡을 찾아 듣는다. 비가 오는것의 여부와 상관없이. . . 어쿠스틱한 지미의 멜로디와 로버트의 읆조리는 듯한 보이스가 조금 다급해졌던 심박수를 늦춰주며 편안함으로 온몸을 적신다.
220 + thumbed this down when all I heard was perfection.
This song sustains me, lifts me and brings me to the very core of my soul as I wander through the emotional journey of spending the final weeks of my husband's life. ....just loving him.
He loved you so much hon.
Thank you muddavugger for your kind words.........
Susan Schroedel simply beautiful words. As i listen to this my heart bleeds for you but also beats for your beauty and bravery x
This song prevented me from taking my own life a number of years ago when I was going thru a very difficult time. I would listen to it hours on end. It really, really saved me.
Beautifully said. This song does amazing things to the people it affects. All the best to you.
One of my all time favorite LZ song, if not my best. Jimmy Page is so talented. There will never be music like this again. Today's rock music sucks. There will never be a band out there that could hold LZ's jock strap. Sad to see these guys get old. Simply the best.
the rain song is a most beautiful thing happened to an acoustic guitar.
I totally agree on that... ✌💗✌
Battle of Evermore pretty solid
@Deeep 999,
dann haben Sie aber in Ihrem Leben nur wenig mit Acoustic-Gitarre gehört.
@@Sandra-Sarinya Richtig!
and also Jimmy is a beautiful thing to happen to an acoustic guitar.
When i was a kid, i couldn't wrap my head around it. I was listening to KISS, Rush and UFO...this was too much for my musical palate to adsorb and comprehend. As i got older, it finally started getting in...now it's just unreal that Jimmy Page sat around playing guitar one day and THIS is what came out. One of the most stellar pieces of guitar composing in this century. Not even many of the greats can make that claim.
Nothing wrong with Rush
This tune brings many a tear to my eyes ..... I remember it well .... 1973 ... beautiful memories of myself, a young gal, and the love of my life who is now deceased 💕💕💕
What else can you say absolutely one of the best melodies ever!
Simply beautiful.... Been a Zepplin fan since 1969.. But this song stands out.. Very special.. Beautiful... What a gift to be able to play music like this!
Page's acoustic on this is nothing less than awesome!
Beautiful little song.
. . . truly takes you there.
This should be required viewing for all kids. That will enable them to put into perspective the soulless rubbish of today's rock/pop
My parents said something similar to me back in 1965 about their music. Let's face it, every generation thinks theirs was the best.
Yes but when I see all the music of today I wonder how I could tell my children that my generation is the best
Jim Rodgers I don't won't to act like that one edgy kid, but I don't think my generation's music is the best. I think it's awful. Late sixties to before 2000s rock is the best, especially 70s. So I guess every generation thinks their's is the best isn't completely true, but to be fair, I'm the only person I know in my school that loves Zeppelin, that even knows about the band for that matter.
You are wise. Please educate your classmates.
Frostbyte if u look at my wardrobe it's all classic rock shirts
I started loving zeppelin in 1993 I was 14. heard stairway was hooked. Had to listen to everything zeppelin had on offer. In Those times we didn’t have the internet so we had to buy cds. Best band ever!
Love Jimmi Page acoustic in this song..also Going to California..I was in my early 20’s when they came out and I so loved them..I’m 71 now and still listening...
I wish I could play like he does , but most of all I wish people appreciated this kind of music
+Robert worth ,,, you, my friend , saw something special that connects millions of people around the world even today and will always remain relevant because they are timeless.. Peacelovemusic
Thank you Robert Plant and Jimmy Page for your endless creativity. You inspire all!!
Jimmy with a pick and three fingers for optimum excellence, the beast!
How good? 50 plus years I wish I could hear it for the first time again!
No whammy bars and special effects needed. Legendary
When Jimmy got that lip, you know that he is enjoying himself. 1:09
I have to see this on the daily , it’s my medicine.
Goodness gracious... sheer marvel... Page as the casual Master, Plant the enchanter, scored to perfection in this laid back masterpiece.
There is no doubt that Jimmy Page is one of the Top 5 EVER guitarist. He also ALWAYS looks like he's enjoying his craft which makes the audience feel connected. I've seen him twice in my life and both times were almost a spiritual experience. Further, this is the best version of the Rain Song.
I'm from St. Louis, lived in a small enclave called Lake St. Louis, next to Wentzville. Wentzville was the home of Chuck Berry. Every summer Chuck had a bar-b-que that I attended more than twice. Once I asked Chuck; "in your opinion, who are the greatest guitar players in modern rock". He said "the two Jimmy's".....Jimmy Hendrix, and Jimmy Page.
I still don't understand how Page came up with parts and structures as amazing as he did.. I never thought he was a magnificent guitarist (very good), but musically he just had it back then. No one has come close to things like this.
It's a little scary, isn't it though? Amazing. Phucking amazing.
I agree. All the back and forth about whether page was the best or not, and his slightly sloppy technique misses the point. His gift was the combination of skill with an unparalleled ability to come up with unexpected riffs and amazing and beautiful composition like this one. The fact that most of them are actually fairly easy to play is, in my opinion, a testament to their quality. If the compositions were burdened by virtuosity they wouldn't anywhere near as effective.
Page was a fantastic guitarist. The drugs and booze took him away from his talent many times. He was on heroine and Jack Daniels during many of the famous concerts that were recorded and are some of his worst performances set in stone. I've seen many great techincal guitarists that can't put art and tech together, the dynamics are the marriage of both.
Kevin Griffin Well said. Stunning guitar work....
***** Still IS a fantastic guitarst, lol, In my opinion...
My dad saw them live in 1969. That would have been an incredible experience.
Does he recall it😆☮️🤡
This tune is just perfect...! Nothing to blame,only the time that is unforgivable with us all...All I can say is thanks Led Zepp...
Saw these guys 3 times
Beyound words
They saved me in so many ways
God Bless you all Zep
I love that part at 7:03 when Jimmy just flicks the pick away as if to say :"I got this!" Perfection!
Beautiful guitar playing. Thank you Jimmy. Makes me smile every time I watch it.
Brilliant in its simplicity. One of if not the best LZ song! Plant is unparalleled with the lyrics on this one. Page is unsurpassed with his axe. Orchestra puts it over the top. Sometimes a little rain must fall, down my face as I ride along with the Rain Song, Beautiful!
Ok Jimmy Page... somebody give me a word! If I could play only one song as good as him, it would be this one.
Practice
Quite easy to play..
Check the online lessons at a site called 'Shutupandplay'. Google it. The Rain Song is there with many others. The RS lesson shows you the proper tuning, licks within the song, etc. The best guitar 'how to' available anywhere me thinks. Enjoy!
@@stephenlennartz3466 ty!
The ending on this makes me melt. Just a masterpiece
The best acoustic guitarist to ever come from England..
Greatest English guitarist.
Greatest guitarist
I remember the first time I hears this song, when their album «Houses of the Holy» was released in Mars 1973. It felt like being on a long journey full of mystery. «The Rain Song» is such a musical masterpiece in all it’s simplicity and beauty, and Robert Plant is at his best, too in this live version!
The thing about Led Zeppelin is that people from ages 10 - 100 can enjoy the music because it's all beautiful. LZ for ever
Anyone else just love how fucking mental the drummer goes when he kicks in with the stciks haha Just brilliant.
He was a talented musician, RIP, Michael Lee.
Yes. You just cracked me up. I love that...wish we got to see more of that mental shit...was a great observation, Duncan. Thank you.
It was his turn to be heard... BOOM!
To a drummer this is the absolute pinnacle opportunity to "give it everything you got". I mean, nobody could ever fill the immense abyss of Bonham;s shoes but ,if there's ever a chance to try, this would be it. No matter how wild and pounding, nobody can upstage or overdo it. :)
That's what Bonham would do - go nuts in every song !
What a masterful guitarist Jimmy Page is...his mastery of smooth and mellow sounds, and yet burn up the neck with blistering heavy sounds as well....
I'm my humble opinion, this is one of the best musically written song ever. Actually brilliant. How many times I sat with my headphones on in the 70's traveling to other worlds while listening to this perfect song.
I saw them ( page n plant ) during this nineties rehash and it was great but I would have given an arm to experience them in their pomp and glory of the mid seventies... just so many AWESOME songs !!
GODDAMMIT! How are these guys so good?! The guitar in this song is so soft and beautiful, like gentle summer rain. And those vocals, like northern lights speaking to the mountains of iceland as the snow starts to melt away and a new age begins.
***** What?
inglishbulldog I never thought of it like that, but now that i think about it you are
right... That song always soothes me, but it is more than a song is a
master piece. Is love, faith, death, beginning, hope, forgiveness, all
in one song... You forgot to mention that the violins that sound in the
back are like trees moving gently in the breeze, while the piano and
mellotron make the clouds, and rain drops...
Maricel Kidd You nailed it! I ALWAYS think of that sound, as the sound of trees. Even when it was just Jones playing the mellotron live back in the 70's, its like a wave of sound, released by the trees, that washes over you, and paints the canvas in wide strokes.
inglishbulldog the are legends ,Led Zeppelin !!!! name is enough to give goosebumps !!!!
inglishbulldog dang great minds think alike i guess
This song is why I picked up a guitar at age 10 and it happened to be a 12 string. Now I’m almost 28 and can still put to shame any man who thinks he can “play”. I sit quietly until I can retune it for Going to Cali or this one and just play the shit out of it usually ending with bron yr stomp or aur. Still their reactions and looks on their faces are priceless, yes I’m a girl who just put u to shame.
One of my all time favorite songs, and LOVE this version! AWESOME!!!
Page and Plant...Lennon and McCartney and Harrison...Led Zeppelin and the Beatles...if I were to choose two bands to listen to on a lonely island for the rest of my life...there are no other choices! I know there are others...musical geniuses...why couldn't I be born one? Enjoy the ones that are here.
" ... Talk, talk, talk, talk - I've 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. But I know that I love you so ...."
Bah gawd they brought out the 30 piece philharmonic. The song commands that much respect
What a beautiful song, it's my favorite one out of all that they have
I learned a lot and started creating music just by listening to led ,Jimmy Page.Now putting songs on the internet the first short song went to the top.......Headricke Easton
What is amazing is that when Zep were in their prime, nobody knew how timeless this music was. The reason that so many kids (18-25) get into this band, is because their sound still holds up so well over 40 years later.
18? I didn't think there was a minimal age. I'm 15 years old now and have been obsessed with this band (Led Zeppelin actually, not Page and Plant) for over 2 years. And I got my niece who's only 5 into them. Black Dog comes on the radio and she sings along and does the air guitar.
Just amazing. Page and Plant. Fantastic version.
RIP Michael Lee. You weren't a Bonham but by God you were great.
What an amazing arrangement and performance of this song! This is an iconic composition that will stand the test of time. Bravo.
just a fantastic song,,,,realy showed of jimmy's chops on the axe,,,and that understated nod from plant at the very end speaks volumes,,,thanks for the music guys....led zep will live on for a long long time to come,,,,still seeing tribute bands even now,,,,rock on evryone
I saw them in Indianapolis in the mid 70's then again as Plant and Page years later. Seeing them live was epic to say the least.
I saw them a couple times in the 70's also. Unfortunately they were fairly wasted and sloppy, and I thought them boring quite frankly. Which is a shame since they had at least four quintessential rock albums. This clip tops anything from zep I've ever seen live.
A little rain must fall........perfectly written song!
Didn't appreciate many artists including Zeppelin until I started playing the guitar in 1980 . Then I found out !
I'm in my mid 50, I wonder if I make to 90 would I still be listing to Rock&Roll? Great Song! My generation 60s 70s 80s and early 90s music 🎵😎
