    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.

      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.

      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 CZcamss. 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.

    It's so humbling an experience to watch Jimmy play those riffs almost effortlessly, and in the end, showing his guitar to everyone in great exultation, as though saying that it is the guitar that did the job, and he is only the medium, and what is true is the opposite of it. Amazing, amazing genius!

      @cherylphelan2422 Před 10 měsíci +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.

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 watched the fire that grew so low, oh

    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

    I never thought it would ever go
    I cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon 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

    This reminds me of my husband. He could play this perfect. He passed away in 2004. We were high school sweet heart's. I miss him every day.

    This is my favorite song. Been playing guitar for 25 years I can play the most technical guitar in the world but none of that means shit compared how this song makes me feel on a warm sunny day in the sand at the Pacific ocean. When I play this on my guitar I truly find peace and love! To me it's the greatest day I've ever had everytime I play this on my acoustic guitar at the beach.

    when 16 million people watch and no dislikes, you understand the meaning of perfection.

    Jimmy Page's guitar playing is flawlessly clean. Been listening to these guys since Junior High School...1972.

    Best rock ballad ever written IMO, and definitely the best recorded version of this song. Page is a musical genius.

    There will never be another 2 that can play music so great as Page & Plant did and I wish I would’ve been born 15 years earlier so I could’ve saw them live in concert .

    Jimmy Page's playing here is unworldly. He is leading an orchestra with a very complex acoustic arrangement and it's ....fucking....mind blowing!!!!

    So, so lovely. I have no words, only emotions. I am 67 years old and this resonates deeply within me and transports me to my younger days. Thank you.

    I wouldn't mind hearing that last little bit at the end -right after he tosses his pick , as I draw my last breath.

    The soft side of Zep, lie down, look at the sky and let this tune take you....the orchestration is superb, it is like a melodic dream sequence, your loved one right next to you....

    Who knows where Page got that tuning from but it's his genius...
    Plants nod to him at the end says it all. He's just a spectator.
