The Seasons

- My original idea for the opening tracks for ‘Houses of the Holy’ was that a short overture would be a rousing instrumental introduction with layered electric guitars that would segue in to ’The Seasons’, later to be titled ‘The Rain Song’. Again there would be a contrasting acoustic guitar instrumental movement with melotron that could lead to the first vocal of the album and the first verse of the song.
‘The Seasons’ was a memo to myself as a reminder of the sequence of the song and various ideas I’d had for it in its embryonic stage. I’d worked on it over one evening at home. During the routining of the overture now titled ‘The Plumpton and Worcester Races’, the half time section was born and the overture shaped in to the song, ‘The Song Remains The Same’. These rehearsals were done in Puddle Town on the River Piddle in Dorset, UK.
The first set of recordings were done at Olympic Studios with George Chkiantz.
We then came to record at Stargroves, Sir Mick Jagger’s country home, and, like Headley Grange, with the Rolling Stones recording truck.
‘The Song Remains The Same’ was played on a Fender 12 string, the same one used on Becks Bolero, with my trusty Les Paul number 1 on overdubs in a standard turning. The ‘Rain Song’ was an unorthodox tuning on acoustic and electric guitars. On live shows, it became a work-out feature for the double neck.
I remember watching the Jimmy Page and Robert Plant No Quarter DVD in the living room in my teens. The Rain Song was playing, and my father who had never shown any interest in my music or anything I did, was mesmerized by Jimmy's guitar. He sat and listened, despite not being able to understand the words, and asked me who the guitar player was. I was overjoyed to be able tell him. It is a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life; the day my father and I connected through a timeless song. This masterpiece will forever remind me of that moment and bring tears to my eyes, which I will always, always welcome.
Thank you for sharing that. My dad RECORDED that "UnLedded" unplugged performance on VHS when I was teen (in 1994) and very much a fan of LZ , and surprised me the next morning with the recording. I couldn't believe it, I was so happy. He is gone now, so this concert reminds me of him every time.
That's beautiful!
Beautiful memory
Thank you to George Harrison for challenging Jimmy to write a ballad. Arguably the most beautiful song ever written.
Did George really? Tell me more
@@giftoftime9968 George once told John Bonham that the problem with Zep was that they didn't write ballads.
Jimmy then wrote this (using the first 2 chords of George's 'Something').
I have been playing this for years and the chords structures are beautifully created.
For example : the outro all sounds amazing in both arpeggio (how it should be played) or in chords.....except for the first one!
It sounds awful as a chord but beautiful as an arpeggio (as he plays).
Jimmy's alternate tuning chord work is simply amazing.
😊🎸
This man better make an instrumental album before checking out. It would be so legendary!
Jimmy Page is the best composer, musician & producer in rock music. Influenced thousands of other bands. A true rock God.
Let's never forget that in 1975 Rolling Stone conducted a readers' poll - readers voted in who was 1975's Best Drummer; Karen Carpenter won. Beating out John Bonham, Roger Taylor, Keith Moon, Ringo Starr, Charlie Watts, Bev Bevan, Bill Ward, Ansley Dunbar, Billy Cobham, Lenny White, Bill Bruford, etc... Jackie Stewart was "The Best" as it could be proven with wins and fractions of seconds, etc... O.J. Simpson was "The Best" again, because of precise statistical accounting. In my single and humble opinion - James Patrick Page was/is The Best Rock composer, producer, guitarist, etc ... Yet I'm certain that even he would agree that it's a mute, null and void spectrum. Although we know better.
@@kevinkiso4579 Speaking of moot points (not mute) how bout that left field Karen Carpenter bit!
@@kevinkiso4579 Karen is so very, very underrated. It's hard to compare her to JB because their styles are apples and oranges. But listen to her lay down that funky groove in her early television appearance with "Dancing in the Street". One wonders if Bonham took inspiration from this for Trampled Underfoot. He may have been keeping one eye on Karen. After all, she could play and sing at the same time whereas he could only play. As an aside, when you hear this version of The Rain Song, sans vocals, it's clear Karen could have done a fantastic version with Plant's melody. (She really rocked it on "Hurting Each Other".) Too bad they never thought to have her as a guest vocalist, even as a surprise appearance at a show.
The great thing about Jimmy as a producer, is that he produced the albums with an objective ear. The balance of the sound was perfect. When some guitarist have produced their own albums, the guitar is the prominent sound on the albums, is right at the front.
@@firstlastqaz @firstlastqaz lol, did you mistake this for a Carpenter's fangirl channel or something? Her drumming was textbook, granted all very precise and well rehearsed, but nothing about it jumped out as particularly unique, pioneering or distinctive. "whereas he could only play"....well he was a drummer, not the lead singer, cos Zeppelin already had one of those :) I thank the stars that Karen wasn't a 'guest vocalist' for LZ, they covered a lot of genres, but saccharine pop wasn't one of them.
55 years ago your music helped me grow up and now it helps me be young again.
Beautifully said.
That is beautiful ♥️
Julie this made my cry, Thank you for reminding me how much i love Led Zeppelin ; )
Absolutely best comment I've read , So very true !! 👏👏👏👍👍🙏🤘
Brother in tears here, all shed in profound gratitude. Be well sister.
Let us be grateful today..
for Jimmy and Robert and Jonesy and Bonzo, their unique creative fusion was a gift from the most high.
Thank you.
Gratitude is good.
@@jonathanbarnes3061 Would be nice if they acknowledged God openly.
Maybe for you , the rest of us think that's a load of nonsense written by camel farmers sat round a fire on magic cactus and mushrooms 4000 years ago ! They stole the idea of a 'god' from the druids too !
@@onsight2822 Who is us ? The fact that you ignore history and prophecy shows your ignorance.
Psalms 14:1
[1](To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Typical god type 🤦♂️
If you dont agree with me i try abusive comments, name calling or threats or quotes from your magic book 🤦♂️
Jimmy Page is undoubtedly one of the best composers in the entire long history of rock music. His masterpieces are indelible.
He is the wizard!
The false artist merely plagiarizes but the true artist steals
czcams.com/users/shortsVzx-6aVsICc?feature=share
@@martinjcooke72 This would lead to the conclusion that Led Zeppelin is about the worst band of all times. I wouldn’t go that far…
But they are the most reckless plagiarists in the history of rock music. How could they even think that it would go unnoticed. They didn’t just steal songs like Whole Lotta Love and made it into their own song. It was a cover of a (legitimate) cover that they covered and claimed to be the writers of that song! It’s hard to respect them in any way as artists.
@@dirkpehrke9909 - well, yeah, whatever
It’s ridiculous how good this is. Full length demo track.
The Rain Song is a sublime masterpiece, and this demo is a great find. Thanks, Mr Page (AKA, Jimmy)
Technically Led Zeppelin wrote it but i agree 😂
it's good it is not at the level of Diary of a Madman
@Maxine McKenzie 23 what does that even mean ...
Meanwhile, back to this song...
It IS a Masterpiece!
I totally agree.
I'm really diggin this version.
It's just soooo good!!
@Jake South
Also - Jake, I'm not sure WHY you wrote your comment... ?
I mean, who do you think makes up the band called Led Zepplin???
Is one of them named Jimmy Page, perhaps?
Soooo...
Yeah.
I guess someone needs to explain it to YOU.
Allow me:
TECHNICALLY -
The song in this video
IS
written by
THE VERY SAME PERSON
who wrote the original version!
IMAGINE THAT JAKE!!
And this same person,
IS actually a member of the band
called Led Zeppelin!
Wow! That must be a mind blower for you, huh Jake!!
Here's something you should write down Jake-
The musical genius who wrote this song, his name is Jimmy Page.
(That's Mr. Page to you Jake.)
Or did you somehow think there is just ONE PERSON named Led Zepplin who did all the song writing??!
If so, here's another tidbit of info for you Jake-
Hold on to your socks Jake,
because THIS is going to blow them RIGHT OFF!!!
The answer is:
NO, that's not the case!
There is no ONE PERSON with the name of Led Zepplin!!
Ha! HOW ABOUT THAT!!!
There are actually 4 members of the band.
Each of who contributed to each song.
And GUESS WHO wrote the guitar parts in all the songs!!
Can you guess Jake??
Can you???
You might ALSO notice the name of this very YT channel!
And then when you put all those pieces together,
(if you're able)
then
maybe,
JUST MAYBE,
if it's a good day,
if you have remembered to keep your fingers OUT of the light socket today,
if the sun is shining just right,
and if the planets have aligned to shine some sense into you,
it MIGHT all click for you...
His name being Jimmy Page.
(Again, that's Mr. Page to you.)
AND
What this means
is that TECHNICALLY
Mr. Page can do ANYTHING he pleases with this song.
AND
If you've bothered to listen to the music in this video, you'll notice that the original comment describing this song as,
"A Sublime Masterpiece"
is right on the money!!
This IS Jimmy's song.
This version IS a Masterpiece.
The original version is also a Masterpiece.
Both written and performed
BY THE MASTER himself,
as nobody else can,
Mr. Jimmy Page.
In short,
what I'm saying to you Jake,
is that
TECHNICALLY,
your comment is ridiculous.
And-
Hopefully, NOW that it's been explained to you properly,
now that you know how things work,
now you'll be able to understand that this IS Jimmy's song.
To do with what he wishes.
It's a gift for all of us.
I suggest you cherish it
in the way in which it deserves to be cherished.
James Patrick Page,
Composer,
Conductor,
Concertmaster,
Craftsman,
Conservator of the Led Zeppelin catalog…
The people of Earth
Thank you 🌍
Me, at 14yrs and a girl I was hanging out with, I had immense feelings for her that I didn't quite understand in my mind. Still discovering my life and LED-, I came across this song for the first time. It was when the words said, "But I know, that I love you so" that an incredible feeling washed over me, and it suddenly was clear!
I was in love!!, I was blown away!! and now fully aware of simply how to tell the girl what I felt of her... And the sheer force of this band that came into my soul that very day in 1981.
My life hasn't been the same since!!! It's probably why the album cover has always been my profile picture. I never figured that until now. Maybe that's why the framed album hangs on my wall as an adult....
Peace and Cheers
Soothing and more chill out than they original. It will always feel like summer's end whenever I listen to this song. The wind that starts to blow stronger, some pitter patter on the roof from the imminent noon time rain while you throw back rocking on an old chair on the porch... That sweet melancholy of those days that will never come back again, yet you feel grateful for all these memories you've managed to build throughout your life. It's not always a drag getting old... A sincerest Thank You Mr Page for being who you are.
It's funny...
It sounds like the beginning of Springtime to me!
It's just sooooo good!!
🥹
Your post makes me happy and want to cry at the same time, well said
Couldn’t Have Said/Expressed It Any Better Than That My Fellow Human & Zepper!👊🏻☺️✨
@@johnc.6118 Same Here,Pure Poetry❣️🤝🏻☺️☀️
Beautiful and captivating. I’m reminded of a time back in 1986 when I was trying to learn to play The Rain Song, and my mum would come by and just stop and listen
It's my absolute favourite piece to play on a guitar. Glad you have that lovely memory.
Did you learn it?? 👍
Same!! Same year and everything. I was a senior in high school and for my birthday I got a 12-string, a violin bow, and my mom wrote 'Happy Birthday, Jimmy' on my cake. Clearly, my name's not Jimmy. Best day of my life.
Sorry for anyone from the 70s who didn’t have sheet music or the tab, it was actually much easier when you knew how the guitar was tuned! Lol
Cheers Jimmy one of the most beautiful things written including classical and the old metal classics!
That's wholesome
Wow. Sitting in the car waiting for the kids to get out of school it's just starting to lightly rain.
Magical.
Happy 50th anniversary to Houses Of The Holy.
Beautiful, just sublime.
Jimmy please release all the live stuff in pristine quality.
Not in this lifetime. It will go with him to his grave. Just like a part of Zeppelin was lost when John Bonham died.
So awesome hearing the early version of Rain Song. But for me the best version will always be the Live 1973 version from TSRTS
That’s a great one for sure. Many hardcore fans agree that it hits it on all levels.
Yes that's the version !!
When jimmy page dies I will genuinely cry my eyes out, the impact him and led zeppelin have had on my life can not be put into words and their music (as in the light says) has reached the very depth of my soul. If you see this comment Jimmy just know us the fans love you and adore you and would love to see you perform on stage sometime.
I discovered Led Zeppelin back in December 2023. I was watching CZcams and Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven from Madison Square Garden 1973 was in my “for you page.”
I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve listen to all of their songs, and I love every single one of them.
I just love that I can go into a completely different world when I listen to them. Every time I listen to Stairway to Heaven, I feel so many different emotions, and I get this intense feeling of butterflies in my stomach. It’s almost a spiritual experience to me. I just love it so much!
It’s been a really rough time in my life recently, and the only way I feel at peace is if I listen to Zeppelin.
So I want to thank you: Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, John Bonham, and especially Jimmy Page for giving me this wonderful piece of art that is Led Zeppelin. I hope all of you live out the rest of your days in happiness and peace, and rip Bonzo!
I really hope I get to meet you someday Jimmy, so I can thank you in person 💕
I really wish I was alive in the 70’s so I could see them in concert!
I had a similar experience to yours recently regarding Led Zeppelin. I don't know how old you are, I'm 71 and I was a kid when the overwhelming music of the 60s broke out. I followed it with passion but I had never followed LZ's hard rock, it wasn't up my alley. I knew they were the best, loved and followed, but their genre was too far from my tastes. Over time, I read some statistics, for example: which is the most loved band, which is the song of the century, which is the most appreciated guitar solo. The answer, in the majority of cases was: Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven, and Jimmy's solo in the same song. Intrigued, I checked on YT and it was like a bolt of lightning that hit me. I was hypnotized by this surprise, I wanted to delve deeper into their discography and their activity. How much I missed, but I'm catching up. They are all wonderful musicians but Jimmy's guitar particularly fascinates me, both when he plays hard and when he uses acoustics, as in this case. It is now a daily appointment with these old, immortal, enthralling notes.
Best rock band ever. Page is a genius.
Check out the top of the mountain . It's a top head with two eyes below and a grin full of rough teeth amazing .
❤You Jimmy Page. My first concert was Zeppelin ❤ in Baton Rouge, LA. 77. My love for you & Led Zeppelin is why my Grandson, raised as my❤ son , plays guitars. One of 3 is a Les Paul. 🎉
In my opinion Jimmy, "The Rain Song" is one of the most beautiful songs in recorded history. It's a song that has always deeply touched my soul whenever I hear it. I love this instrumental version of The Rain Song, and I find it so fascinting how you explain your original concept on how the song on the album was to be presented. Fascinating indeed. Thank you Jimmy for all the music.
I have felt the exact same way. You describe it perfectly.
👍 ✔️
Is there a video of him explaining the concept of how the song is to be presented on the album?
The ability to transport the listener to another world was perhaps Led Zeppelin's greatest power. You can see the music in colors and images. No other band could do this as vividly, especially nowadays when everything sounds so cold and sterile. I could put this masterpiece on loop and listen all day long.
That ability was predicated on the fact that videos didn't exist and live performance films (yes, actual film) were rare, so the interpretation of the lyrics and airs behind them were COMPLETELY individual. Just like reading a novel, rather than seeing the movie; the characters look, sound and move the way YOU and you alone envision. The concert film "The Song Remains the Same" tainted the featured songs to a degree by creating a fixed association to them.
@@johnalex6309 I'd have to disagree to a degree...when I first started listening to LZ, the phrasing, the Middle Eastern influences, the melodies, the lyrics, were all unlike anything that other artists had released at the time. I would agree that how something 'looks' or 'sounds' is something that I alone envision, however, those songs definitely triggered those mysteries and places their music took us.
Yes. I have had this on loop (in my brain) for about a week and listen to it all day long. And no, that's not a bad thing. It's just so beautiful. Plus - I have Mr. Page and (and sometimes) Mr. Plant performing for me personally, live, any time I want! And sometimes when I don't. Over all, a fair deal, I'd say. I want to thank the CZcams algorithm for dropping about a hundred 'Rain Song' covers on my home page. Well done, YT!
The Rain song has been with me through most of my Psychedelic Experiences and has definitely impacted my inner self profoundly. This song always feels subtle yet tremendously powerful to make me shed tears of contentment.
Exactly!!
Word brother.
The Rain Song is one of my favourite songs to play, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever encountered. My compliments to Mr. Jimmy Page, thank you.
I always said; when I die I want the Rain Song played at my funeral in full. Thank you JP for this gift to humanity!
I got everyone beat on this comment site....from 12 to 64 yrs.old Led Zeppelin has been my number 1...My favorite song being THE RAIN SONG.JIMMY,ROBERT,JOHN PAUL JONES,JOHN BONHAM I HOPE THE GATES IN HEAVEN OPEN UP WITH THE SOUND OF "THE RAIN SONG".
Jimmy Page is just a genius. This composition is like nothing else, it is a completely original piece of beautiful music. You can hear that Jimmy had everything ready before he played it to the band. In some ways I can hear a connection to his film score for Death Wish II which by the way is great and underrated by the general public. I really wish Jimmy would release new music, it could easily be instrumental. Paul
Jimmy Page is the best guitarist in rock, second to none. IMO, he surpasses all that went before, and so far all that came after. His music has the depth that transcends generations.
This sounds like gratitude. It's like the moment when you arrive home after a long trip.
JImmy , These are the seasons of emotion
And like the winds they rise and fall ❤
Thank you Mr Page, for all of your hard work, dedication and generosity. Your gift, is a gift to the world
This work belongs in the annals of modern works of musical art. This song is just mesmerizing-even without Robert’s lyrics. JP, please give us some more!!
The rain song is one of my favorites. My favorite version is probably live from The Song Remains The Same. Then the live version from Unleaded. Then the album version. Page was my inspiration to pick up the guitar all those years ago. Thanks for the music Mr Page.
Thank you for the beautiful music, maestro.
To Mr. Page,
8 months ago you opened this channel with this song.
8 months ago I started opening my day with this song.
That's roughly 240 "views" from me this year.
At the end of 2024,
365 of the views will have been from me.
It's just a drop in the bucket for you & this channel Mr. Page.
But for me,
this song is what
FILLS my bucket!
Thank You ❤
People will still be listening to this in hundreds of years time like Mozart and the like. This music touches my very soul when my girlfriend died I realised why it's called the rain song....... ❤
I remember the summer of '73 listening to this magic in my first car riding around at night with the top down. And then they were nice enough to come to town a couple of times.
Every time I hear this song, I get cold chills and a tear in my eye. It is so beautiful and stirs something in my soul, that I can’t describe.
As someone who writes songs, or tries...someone like Jimmy is so unbelievably great, that it's hard to accept as really having happened.
I agree
Nicely put
World's biggest Zeppelin/Page fan here (yes, a very bold statement but indeed True) and just wanted to say Thank You. Quite a treat to coincide with the HOTH 50th anniversary release - March 28 1973 - 2023 ✌
HOTH is full of genre- spanning, atmospheric, eclectic tunes. A great introduction to those just getting into the band. It holds a special place for me, as I was born the same year.
What a brilliant piece of music. Thank you Mr Page for all you have given us.
Good to hear Jimmy do an all original song
I love the new mix !! One of the best Led Zeppelin songs ....The revisit to the Houses of the holy album art is very cool too ...!
Not a new mix but rather the demo which led to Rain Song. Page is playing EVERYTHING on this recording!
Reminds me of the ARMS concert for Ronnie Lane when Jimmy performed Stariway to Heaven without vocals on the double neck guitar at the end of the show at Madison Square garden. The crowd walked out in silence and stunned awe of what we had just seen! Never ever had that happen in many shows at the garden. The crowd was speechless. Such a talent!
They were speechless because Jimmy Page looked like a walking corpse.
I saw this show. Only I saw it in Los Angeles Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton,Jimmy Page. What a billing.
I saw the ARMS show at Madison Square Garden. I'll never forget it.
I remember hearing the Rain Song on the radio as s kid in the seventies and being captivated.
Ha - Seeing a day-old posting by Jimmy Page made my heart a skip beat! Wonderful version, and much appreciated👍
Stunningly beautiful. This song, in all its incarnations, never gets old. It's timeless.
Perhaps it is the most beautiful ballad I have ever heard in my life...I dare to confirm it...thank you for existing Jimmy Page!!! 👆🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
LOL
But I thought Jimmy Page just ripped off old blues artists?
Haha yeah right! Anyone who said that forgets incredible songs like these. They sound like nothing else. And even what they did with early blues standards and lyrics was actually pretty cool and innovative.
no try the song Tonight off Diary of a Madman
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_OracleNo, your implying he can't have his own opinion?
@C met no that's not what I'm implying , he can have his own just make sure it aligns with reality
This is my go to song when I'm in a bad mood or depressed, instantly feel much better after listening..I love the mighty Zeppelin.
The soundtrack of my life.
The theme song of my life growing up …and right to this day … WE LOVE YOU JIMMY PAGE❤
Absolutely stunning, and beautiful! THIS should've been on either the expanded Houses of the Holy in 2014, or the expanded Coda in 2015. Just amazing!
Good call but I'm glad Jimmy has a few tricks up his sleeve for us in 2023. The year just got better!
Jimmy always holds back a few nuggets
He didn’t find the tape until post-Remasters. There’s an interview from 2014 where he says this recording was lost, and one from 2020 where he says he found it. Beautiful to have in any form, though!
@@ledzepfilm yep, I saw that in The Air Above the Din.
Jimmy talked about this. He lost the tapes and didn't find them until recently.
This piece of music, so chills me out. If I could only listen to 1 band on my desert island, it would be Zep.
The greatest rock band period.
The Rain Song will forever be to me winter school holidays 1973, tucked up on a couch in the sunroom after an early morning foggy surf session.
The music paints a picture. Beautiful & otherworldly. Blessed be Mr. Page.
Thank you kindly, Mr. Page
Stunning. ❤
The Seasons will always bring me back to fishing at age 15 - 16 trolling with an electric motor in a Coleman boat at night with a good bud, listening to Led Zep and burning one on a lake in Northern NJ.
Who else is checking this channel every day for more songs! 🙋🏼♀️
A gift from The Lord of The Strings .
Absolutely moving..gorgeous layering and mood
Jimmy, what a true musical inspiration and blessing you have been to my life..
One of my favorite pieces of music ever. Fantastic. Thank you for sharing this Mr. Page!
It's now 2023 and it's been 46 years since 1977. I attended the April 20th live show in Cincinnati OH. This was their final USA tour as Led Zepplin. I was just 15 and clueless about the Journey life would take me on. Woo!
Wonderful mix! I had never heard all those beautiful little guitar details! Mr Page in all of his genius!
Jimmy's composing skills are on whole another level.
Aw, The Seasons beautiful working title of one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs, the masterpiece the Rain Song!!
I am so happy I found this. Mr. Page is the reason I play guitar, and I hope I can produce material as creative and full as this. Beautiful!
This is my favorite Zeppelin song to play. It’s stunningly beautiful and so harmonically rich. Jimmy could always go from this to something like “Achilles” without skipping a beat.
There truly is nothing else like this in the rock canon -- mesmerizing hardly describes it.
Yes!!! Please continue these uploads Mr. Page! Guitar players worldwide are rejoicing!
Thanks to you... I'm much obliged... for such a pleasant stay - Forever grateful
Best band that ever blessed this earth.
Happy 50th! Here’s to 50 more years of Jimmy’s beautiful music!
Please leave this up, Mr Page. This early composition of The Rain Song is amazing.
I think this is one I'm going to be watching before bed to have the most peaceful of sleeps. Thank you, Jimmy.
Wonderful piece of music, hopefully Jimmy will share with us more rarities and gems of his creative genius.
Now this is the perfect blend of folk & rock and roll
I can’t stop listening to this. I’m going to play it for my horse.
Amazing. Was and still is the greatest group of musicians ever assembled.
Greatest ever? A bit of a stretch.
@@SavedbyGraceAlone1962 But since it his favorite, it must be the best, right? We are all often guilty of making these types of ridiculous statements.
Thanks a lot, Mr Page!
This is absolutely Magic!
Happy Holy 50th anniversary to Houses Of The Holy!
to You and all of us!
Keep digg'n in the Can,Jimmy...many of us have gown up with these songs and have learned to play them - it's fascinating to hear the embryonic-stage of these classics! 🙏
Simply exquisite and a treat for the ears and for the soul. Masterfully played and composed. Listening to it now 50 years later places me back to 73 in my childhood bedroom listening to Rain Song and HOTH on 8track cassette for the very first time.
🎸✌TY Jimmy❤🎶
I played this for months strait. One day I realized I hadn't played it for a while. A long while. Here I found out that I had forgotten to play nearly the entire song. A tragedy considering the hours I spent in my Teens learning it. I look forward to learning it again.
Absolutely stunning earlier version, "The Rain Song" is one of the greatest pieces of music ever committed to tape. It brings forth such peace, awe and reverie.
Houses of the Holy has always been my favorite Zeppelin album . Most of the album made it onto their set list when touring. Rain song is a masterpiece.
50th Anniversary!
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. I really want a copy of this instrumental.
Thank you for all of the good work like this has done for my Soul Jimmy. You have immorality with us.
The Song Remains the Same dovetailing into the Rain Song is the most incredible tandem of songs ever. Love the live movie version too.
Most incredible ever? A bit of a stretch.
@@SavedbyGraceAlone1962 Not really. It's a matter of personal taste, no stretch required.
@@SavedbyGraceAlone1962....You must be lost. I think you're in the wrong place. Spamming your same comment everywhere in here rather says it all.
@@wandcfirst He didn't say "in my opinion". It was stated as a matter of fact.
@@MJEvermore853 Not lost at all, not in the wrong place, and not spamming. Feel free to point out where I spammed the same comment. I'll wait.
For me the treasure of this instrumental is it immediately takes me to a beautiful place. "Rain Song" has a special place in my heart. It's simply beautiful.
Love it.
The 29 min. version of Dazed and Confused from The Song Remains the Same concert in Madison Square Garden is my G.O.A.T.
Jimmy you are the best. I think it was 1975 when the album was released for the first time. I lived in Ukraine as part of the USSR back then and it was behind the steel curtain. My first LZ album I bought on a black market (where else) was used one half of a double album Physical Graffity. I had all the previous LZ releases on tapes in mono versions because we did not have stereo recording equipment manufactured for general population at the time. By the time Houses of the Holy was released I was 16 years old teenager and I was surprised and couldn't believe that this music was created by Led Zeppelin after all those previous ones. It was absolutely different kind of music indeed. Long story short... I appreciate your creativity and talent and all the hard work of yours Mr. Page for the music you composed for us to enjoy for so many years. God bless you.
Still sends chills down my spine. I thank the universe for Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Page. Shame YT doesn’t allow “Love”, “Adore”, etc instead of just “Like”
One of my favorite albums of all time. The memories I have stored in my head seem to have it as their soundtrack.
This composition is just beautiful. Thank you Mr Page.
The Rain Song is perfect...just beautiful.
That was just beautiful. Page and Jones were magick , able to take you to other places.
The rain song is my favourite Led Zeppelin song. So this is a wonderful gift. Love and Thank you!
WOW!!! That was fantastic!!! Still my favorite Led Zeppelin song. Hearing this beautiful demo just makes me love it even more. I’m turning 60 this year. While this came out 50 years ago in 1973… It reminds me of 1982 when I was living at a commune in Highland Park, California (just north of L.A.) when I 18 & 19. Thanks for bringing back more memories. ✌🏽❤️🎸🍄
