My God, what a phenomenal composition this is. How on Earth do you write music like this? Jimmy Page is an absolute genius. The music of the mighty Led Zeppelin will be played until the end of mankind. Ann, Nancy, and the entire band did a great job here
It is said that George Harrison told Bonzo at a party that Zeppelin is a good band but they don't have any ballads. Jimmy overheard and got butthurt by the comment and went home and created this tune.
Some times thoughts come from another world, another place, another time….. Jimmy and Robert blessed us with their thoughts. We are forever grateful and (personally) changed by them. As I face my own limited time on this earth, I will forever be grateful and brought to emotion by their words and music. Some happy, some sad, but still brought there 🙏🙏❤️💙
My sister died this March, at 63. We played this song at her memorial. Her entire house was decorated in a middle eastern motif that was inspired by her love of Zep's Kashmir. In going through her things in preparation to sell her house, we found a photo album dedicated entirely to Robert Plant.
I was skeptical at first. I didnt want to be disappointed, but, The first strum Nancy does and I'm like ...I'm stayin right here. Anne, you made me cry, thank you.
Goosebumps... Music producers won't allow musicians to make music like this any more. A six minute song? How long of an out-tro does it have? Where's the chorus? Where's the bridge? There's no structure to this thing... and yet, when you allow artists to be masters of their craft like they used to, a song like this can be made and give me goosebumps... Most of the time, I'd say duplicating Led Zeppelin is an act of sacrilege, but if you are Ann and Nancy Wilson... you can give me goosebumps any time.
Jason Bennett yes, lol - they have always been my fav as well. You would think they had written most of these Zeppelin songs. No disrespect to Heart, but look up "going to California " covered by Amy Lee of evanescence.
I couldnt just click like. I agree with you fully Jason. The ladies are getting on in life but hell Anne has an amazing rock voice and they both still as beautiful as always.
how can there only be a little over 121000 views for the masterpiece. where have all the sane people gone. I guess this country is in deep trouble with all the fruits out there now. good luck America we are doomed.
Same here. Didnt want to be disappointed. After all how many take on vocals of the great Robert Plant and Jimmy on guitar? My most beloved Uncle & Friend gave me a Walkman lol & said this is the most beautiful song you'll ever hear. At the time I was in HS and my musical taste didnt reach far from the hip hop of 2PaC but my secret musical taste fell along with The Steve Miller Band & Marvin Gaye. Indeed he was right. Hes no longer with us so for a long time even the 1st strings were too much for my soul but in time souls heal or something like that...for you we ❤ Marty
I'd always wanted to have a time machine solely for this. If they weren't able to do it in the 70's, can't they do it now? I'd take it even if it is a mellow song, it just has to happen. 😭
Yes they were but unlike Zeplin they didn't appreciate all the musicians in the band and behave like spoiled feminist who want to promote the women are great agenda.
I saw them in Vancouver Wa at a very little bar when I was 15 or so years old. They were playing Zeppelin songs, and playing them very well. The bar was called the Red Caboose, I heard them from the outside and after listening as long as circumstances allowed I went through the door like I was suppose to be there they were ground level on a make shift corner in an entry way. I was face to face with Nancy then I went out the other exit before they could boot me out.
I saw them come a third encore in 1977 in Atlanta at the Georgia Jam. I thought they were done and was walking toward concession when I heard how strong Ann's voice was on Rock-n-Roll by Zeppelin. They stole the show at the Georgia Jam in Atlanta in 1977. The energy they have is electrifying! Led Zeppelin love's how well Heart does Led Zeppelin!
@@LoneLee2022 150 shows???? who was your favorite?? ❤🎶❤ i saw Traffic one time in IN... that was a good one... and oh... The Black Crowes opening for ZZ back in like 1991 and that was REALLY COOL... but if youre gonna tell me you saw Zeppelin... then wow.... id be speechless from here on out
@@kimberlydavis571 Van Halen 5-9-80 I saw Zeppelin at Live Aid one of the best days of my life. I saw Plant on his 1st solo tour with Phil Collins on drums.
@@LoneLee2022 THAT IS SO VERY COOL!!! i loved "Ship of Fools"... and remember listening to it when i got to see the ocean for the first time back in 1988... undoubtedly memorable, for real... but WOWWW... i wasnt even aware that Phil Collins and he performed together... apparently i need to do a little homework👍😜
Gotta mention my favorite cover. The Battle of Evermore. Heart does many and they do them well but THE best, in my humble opinion is The Battle of Evermore. Shivers down my spine...
If anyone has ever been to Pilok, in Thong Pha Phum district in Kanchanaburi (border of Thailand and Myanmar)...this is THE song. The Rain Song so beautiful.
OMG, the keyboard's a harmonium - old school - terrific ! She sings pretty good, too...love all the blissed-out youngsters at the back. Scant reward for a life of pain but something at least...
"The Rain Song" is undoubtedly in the top five of my "...the only song you could listen to - deserted island" question. Hard to pick from so many songs I deeply adore. But it's steadfastly holding its ground at the top of the list. So I'm very leery when someone (even Heart) takes the risk of either revering the majesty, or bombing completely - I can't see much middle ground with this one. But there's just nothing at all to complain about, and everything to appreciate in this performance. Grandly done.
Nancy Wilson has said The Rain Song is her favorite Led Zeppelin song. "This is one of the most melodically sophisticated songs in the history of rock‘n’roll and also one of the most beautiful pieces of written poetry ever. It’s such an insightful meditation on life through the seasons, and it balances poetry and rock ‘n’ roll perfectly in a way that no-one but Led Zeppelin has ever been able to do. Zeppelin were one of the bands that saved my life in high school. There’s a real magical mystery to this song. Every good guitar player that I’ve ever been at a party with knows how to play this song, but every one of them plays it differently, everyone had their own interpretation. Only Jimmy truly knows I guess."
So long ago that I don’t feel comfortable thinking about it directly or mentioning it aloud I heard “Rock & Roll” come on the radio (hint… we were listening to FM radio!) but then it sounded different… it wasn’t LZ - it was Heart! I thought - WOW - they nailed it! Here we are many moons later and they are still killing it. This is a really beautiful and heart-felt rendition of a special song. Thank you.
"The Rain Song" 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. 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 - These things are clear to all from time to time. 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 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. It's just a little rain oh yeah
Love is like the four seasons. At first it's fresh like Spring. Then the attraction is hot 🔥 like Summer. But Fall like leaves and tears hit the ground. Then in the end it's so cold like Winter leaving one lonely. Maybe
I saw Ann a couple of years ago and she still has it. She is amazing and her band was incredible...So much talent! The Rain Song is a work of art. Jimmy Page wrote something that is very beautiful and melodic. From the very first upstrum it fills me with emotion. I am learning how to play it and just love all the special parts to it. .
Omg!!! This is my favorite Zeppelin song. And heart is the only band that does their songs justice. I experienced it live and it was so powerful. And those beautiful souls in the background ❤️. No words for this!!!!
Nancy Page and Ann Plant are just as elegant as the day I won and owned my first album in 75-76’ from station KTKT TUCSON. This performance brought a real tear to my eyes. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 for bringing us such joy in this short life!
John Paul Jones of Led Zep played with and produced these gals for some time. Anne and Nancy are the shit. The real deal. I saw Led Zeppelin when I was a young punk . Long Beach Arena 1975. These women really do them justice, besides being just plain baddass singer song writer performers themselves.
Beautiful Ann and Nancy... Remember when you opened to Jefferson Starship...? Dreamboat Anne...I was there in that concert in Tucson... You blew them away... Good job
My God, what a phenomenal composition this is. How on Earth do you write music like this? Jimmy Page is an absolute genius. The music of the mighty Led Zeppelin will be played until the end of mankind. Ann, Nancy, and the entire band did a great job here

I couldn't have said that any better....
50 years later im still in love!
Great rendition of an absolutely gorgeous song ❤
Great to see and hear that Ann & Nancy are still relevant
The Rain Song is my FAVE Zeppelin song. The genius of Plant and Page is undeniable.
The Rain Song is my favorite song to play on my acoustic.Beautiful music.❤️
could be one of the most beautiful love songs ever written
Witnessing the passing of an era that was the best.... Can't wait to see what's next.

Sorry for your loss, that is the song, I want played
Plant has room to grow.
@@LoneLee2022and did. One of a kind.
im 5 years late, damn this is so good. I love that heart did this tribute :')
my god how i wish i could give Ann Wilson a hug, i might not turn her loose, she is so beautiful, thank god for you.
The guitar parts in this song are out of world
Excellent. Nancy's guitar playing blows me away! And Ann's voice is so powerful!
I was skeptical at first. I didnt want to be disappointed, but, The first strum Nancy does and I'm like ...I'm stayin right here. Anne, you made me cry, thank you.
Jimmy made this what it is and it's up there with greats like Mosart and Bethoven, imo. See Zeplins version (no quarter 94) live
I had the same thought, great rendition
When it comes to covering Zeppelin, one should never ever doubt the Wilson sisters.
Never said better. No one paid more homage to Led Zeppelin!!
moreblack yup they are great
I recall reading an interview where Nancy Wilson was quoted, "If I could write a song like the Rain Song, I'd probably sprout wings and fly away."
Beautiful sentiment
I'd like to see that
Gil Guzman she did... its called Soul of the Sea
The most Beautiful song Ever Written
Some of Zep’s songs like The Rain Song and No Quarter leave me in perpetual awe of how anyone could write songs that good.
Goosebumps... Music producers won't allow musicians to make music like this any more. A six minute song? How long of an out-tro does it have? Where's the chorus? Where's the bridge?

Anne Wilson is the only person who should ever sing Zep covers, her voice is perfect!
Jason Bennett yes, lol - they have always been my fav as well. You would think they had written most of these Zeppelin songs. No disrespect to Heart, but look up "going to California " covered by Amy Lee of evanescence.
I couldnt just click like. I agree with you fully Jason. The ladies are getting on in life but hell Anne has an amazing rock voice and they both still as beautiful as always.
She thinks so.
Randy Jackson from Zebra
I agree with heart doing zeppelin covers. To me this song has so much feeling,hell I'm going to play rocking roll next!
how can there only be a little over 121000 views for the masterpiece. where have all the sane people gone. I guess this country is in deep trouble with all the fruits out there now. good luck America we are doomed.
That was most excellent
Only, and I mean ONLY Ann Wilson could pull this off so perfectly!!!!!!!! Ann Wilson ROCKS!!!
This so much. She is god's voice, along with Robert Plant.
I agree. I don’t think any other band could pull this off. Ann gave me chills.
Same here. Didnt want to be disappointed. After all how many take on vocals of the great Robert Plant and Jimmy on guitar?

Thanx to James Patrick Page this awesome cover was possible. Great singing, Ann. You Rock.
LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹
Everything ` Wilson´s Aisters touched has turned to gold.Magnifique Performance.
Thats the best cover of one of zeppelins best songs. Best cover I've ever heard period.
Perhaps my favorite female rock vocalist. Near the top for male or female.
Jimmy Page created this masterpiece after George Harrison asked "Why don't you have a love song". Wow !.....What an answer !
Quite possibly the most perfect song ever written.
Heart ❤❤ the only ones that could do Zep 🎵 songs. Perfect!
It would have been awesome to hear Robert and Ann do a duet during their mid-70's prime.
I'd always wanted to have a time machine solely for this. If they weren't able to do it in the 70's, can't they do it now? I'd take it even if it is a mellow song, it just has to happen. 😭
Yes please, something to make up for Almost Paradise, her duet with Mike Reno.
Yeah, why was Robert singing with Alison Kraus when he could have been singing with Ann Wilson?
She'd have been a bit too young to have sang on The Battle of Evermore, I think, but she'd have killed it! 😊🤩
Ann is still in her prime.
Nancy Wilson is so underrated as a guitarist.
and gorgeous doll too! loved her since Barracuda!
Not by anyone who plays guitar
@@vegashdrider A lot of people play the guitar, but not everyone can let the guitar play them.
I love that Nancy upstrokes just like Jimmy on certain chords. So many guitarists get that wrong and downstroke!
shes a complete beast
Heart were massively influenced by Led Zeppelin...and they always play Zep songs with so much respect and feeling!
Yes they were but unlike Zeplin they didn't appreciate all the musicians in the band and behave like spoiled feminist who want to promote the women are great agenda.

I have tickets to their next show in Tacoma, so it will be 44 years between shows for me.

Yep. They played at the Kennedy Center Honors for Zep!!
This is good...I dig the singer and how she gets in to the song.... the guitar too... her sister.... they always dug Led Zeppelin....
Heart was my 1st concert October 1978.
pretty jealous here in TN🤪... my first was Kiss w/Krokus opening... not complaining but OH HOW LUCKY YOU WERE❤

True Zeppelin Wrote the Rain Song But The Wilson' Sisters Are God Given Amazing
None of them can quite match the feeling and nuance that jimmy page plays it with.
Totally agree, totally.
Plant?
Heart always great !!
Beautiful
brilliant cover!
My 2, all time favorite bands, Heart, N, Zepplin, Heaven, on Earth..brother!!!!

Beautiful....different than the way Zep played it tho...but beautiful
Beautiful guitar
Great job heart - Ann and Nancy !!!!!!!!!!
Love this song. I have a guitar tuned just for this song. I practice it 3-4 times every week.
me too!
wicked cool cover by a great old band, of an epic song
OMG You All are gonna get it I ain't spose tew cry... I Love You All
All things must pass, but not for music, as long somebody listens and enjoy it. Enjoyed this so much. Thanks Heart for the music.
Music is the "art" of telling a story.
Ann and Nancy do it BEAUTIFULLY!
NOBODY does Zep like the Wilson sisters! Hallelujah 🙌 They are national treasures for sure. ❤️
HEART SUCH GREAT VOICES.

3:50 she went god mode this is out of this world!!!
Nancy Wilson's pipes are even stronger in 2023! Long live Nancy!
I only wish that one time in my life I could bring someone the joy you bring me with your music. Gratitude beyond words.
barney
this brought tears to my eyes/ Thank you Wilsons
Outstanding ❤ Real feeling for the track
That's why they called themselves HEART because it went into every song they do
a masterpiece, both for its music & the lyrics. a meeting of 2 genius minds created this song. thank u jimmy & robert.
I completely agree. They don't write music like this anymore......a musical masterpiece
I remember it well... I was just arriving to the show with a head full of acid. Great set! 🎉
Ann Wilson must be the female version of Robert Plant. Planty should do some Heart covers.?
A Lee Planty killed his voice quite a while ago... he can't do either Zep or Heart songs now.
Plant Voice it’s gone for more than 45 years

Fantastic rendition of one of my all time favorite songs by Led Zeppelin or anyone. ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely wonderful.

Very happy to see that JEFF'S remarks have been removed . Very uncalled for. Thanks to whoever took them off
Beautiful Ann and Nancy...
Remember when you opened to Jefferson Starship...?
Dreamboat Anne...I was there in that concert in Tucson...
You blew them away...
Good job
Zeppelins greatest song done perfectly
One of my favourite Zeppelin songs but Heart just nails it. Ann and Nancy for the win.
Nancy is soooo in the moment!!
Wow ! Amazing
All time favorites
These Bridge School Benefits were great
much respect for Heart
These girls are class, keys to the midlands (UK) for you two
Oh my! Awesome! The Wilson sisters ROCK!
There are so many good things happening here. Beautiful all around.
Awesome awesome awesome ! ! !
Awesome
Heart was great with Roger Fisher and still is. I remember a show at the Cape Cod Coliseum 45 years ago. It was a night.
1 of the best momen3 of HEART.
Applau3
Anne Wilson..... WOW !
You two are the only ones I've ever heard that could play & sing Led Zeppelin songs so beautifully!
Wow, how have I not seen this before? I’ve always loved Heart but now I appreciate them even more.
