Zeppelin wasn’t just a rock band - they were a 4 man symphony orchestra.
Most people say that the last song they heard from Zeppelin is their favorite song. It just shows their diversity and pure genius. LED Zeppelin FOREVER!!!🥁☘☮
The last song I can hear on this Earth? It's this live version of "The Rain Song"....and I'm NOT kidding. I'm 60 years old now and have been listening to this MASTERPIECE for nearly 50 years.
JPJ is also playing bass with his feet
Yes he is!
Our organist at church did it in the 60s ...centuries old.
But jpj was light-years ahead of his contemporaries.
This song shames Rush..another favorite band. But light-years more cerebral.
The 73 concerts at MSG was the greatest band at their peak at the greatest arena on earth . Nothing comes close 😎
I'm 69 years old. These songs came out when I was 22. Timeless epic tunes.
To me early 70s Jimmy Page is unmatched in Rock guitar. The absolute best.
agree
He was such an amazing composer , the best ever in rock , according to Santana and others , besides being a supreme player, geez I wonder if we will ever hear music like this again
I used to get the overrated talk all the time in drunken well intentioned talks at various Illinois universities 2006-2010 but then I’ll rewatch this and just be like damn. It’s definitely not the most technical guitar but would guys have done that without this? God tier stuff is that’s way usually cuz it earns it
Absolutely my friend no man could take you where Jimmy could.
Yes. He was untouchable for about 5 years. Ahead of his time. Extremely clever at creating dynamics.
If you told me I could listen to only one Band for the rest of my life… Led Zeppelin forever…❤
Yep, absolutely! No competition!
same
Yep!
And think about this it's raw no overdubs during their live performances 😮the best!
I think that part is lost on most people nowadays. That was live, from 4 individuals. Nothing but talent. It isn't lost on these two, they clearly get it and appreciate it.
To think that was 50 years ago, half a century.....live. they truly are in a league all of their own.
🎶💯🎶🎸🎸🎸
"This is it." I love that. "Next level." So true.
Keep in mind, gentlemen, that John Paul Jones is playing keyboard with his hands, and base with the foot pedals on Rain Song. Incredible. Thank you guys.
Yes it is…
PLEASE watch this entire concert from the movie "The Song Remains The Same"...seeing them perform is a whole different experience you wont forget!!🎶🎤 Do it soon even if you have to watch a couple of songs at a time with us!!🎵🎸🎵💙 Also, please do the live version of "I Cant Quit You Baby" from Royal Albert Hall 1970! Its so amazing to see!!🎶🎸
That whole Albert Hall show was awesome! It was Jimmy’s 26th birthday and he was wearing a sweater vest that his mom gave him as a birthday gift. ☺️
@@MsAppassionata nothin' like their live performances...nothin' ever!!🎶🎶
I concur--rent or buy the movie "The Song Remains the Same." You will see an amazing live performance!! Timeless.
you are so right!!...also the 1969 live stuff...jimmys guitar's tone is ferocious...
also the 1969 whiskey a go go concert...that was the first time the US expericence LZ...Jimmys guitar tone is ferocious
Got to see it live, you can literally see the emotion pouring out of Page as he plays this beautiful tune on the double neck (especially the outro)
YES! And the sweat...someone get that guy a towel haha...OUTRO, yes...agreed!
I always re-watch the outro multiple times. Pure beauty.
The Rain Song a brilliant masterpiece of music - the ending and whacks on the drums at the end is 29 inch Ludwig Universal tympani (it is a large orchestral drum made out of copper) which has a foot pedal on the bottom of it - to change the pitch of the drum head.
Many people never mention that ending part. Bonzo changed the pitch of the tympani drum w his foot in unison with Jimmy's guitar notes. So Bonzo knew exactly how much push the pedal up - when Jimmy hit each individual guitar notes.
Jimmy slides down the guitar next on the last note and Bonzo lowers the pitch of the drum in unison, by depressing pedal - again - in exact unison w Jimmy guitar notes.
Bonzo's drums enter the song with big whacks on the tympani and crashes his 38 inch orchestral gong, behind him. Bonzo's drumming gets talked about a lot, but people rarely mention his tymp playing. He was a master tympani player too. He does double whacks on the tympani when the song gets heavy and takes off and it's played unison with Jimmy's two heavy guitar chords - to energize and drive the emotional typical Led Zeppelin dynamical musical take off into the outer stratosphere.
John Paul Jones playing the Mellotron was amazing. The Mellotron has a plethora of recording tape inside it. All the instrument sounds are recorded individually onto each tape reel. When JPJ presses a key - it moves an arm forward and pushes the pre-recording tape sounds into the playing heads (just like an old tape recorder) and out comes the full orchestral string emsamble sounds. He's amazing and he was also playing bass pedals w his feet simultaneously. All the guys in Led Zeppelin had what's called - limb independence. Most musicians do not possess that skill.
Jimmy switched to the six string guitar for the Rain Song and the guitar is tuned to a non-standard tuning. Jimmy wrote this entire song himself, but obviously all of the members added their own parts to it and Robert wrote the vocals.
Robert's voice was amazing indeed. Have another listen after reading this w all this information here. It'll be even more amazing.
I sometimes cry when the song takes off into that heavy part - I did today again while watching your review.
I really enjoyed your reaction. There should be no doubt about who the best, most intense rock and roll band ever.
Loved the reaction and you guys still remind me of two chills intellectuals.
...What he said. 100%
Great response! Made me laugh out loud...startled my dog!
@Lisa Harrod Hmmmm, I'm trying to figure out what made you laugh. Maybe, I don't want to know.
If it wasn't for Page and Plant to a lesser degree I believe,6 plagiarising other musicians music and taking credit I would have continued believing they were untouchable music gods.
I still believe they are great and could never understand why they went that route considering the actual talent they possessed
Now that's information.
the one thing youse are missing is the dynamics of the band live and Pagey's diverse picking styles while playing the double neck guitar with the 12 string on top and switching to the bottom 6 string guitar...but the biggest thing you are missing is the cohesiveness on stage and the emotion Pagey plays the guitar live..
The GOAT of guitarist
I was there 2 of the three nights they recorded this album. Still puts a grin ear to ear 50 yrs later!
I was there one of the nights. I was 16
@@doriwiljt I was 15!
@@andylipiro3862 how was it mixed live? Was it like the album, or was the kick drum drowning out the audio live?
@@SirMan48 I remember the mix to really good. Not that I remember a lot from the 70s, been smoking weed for over 50 yrs!
I’m always skeptical when people say things like this because it seems so legendary and mystic lol. For some reason I don’t doubt you though. You witnessed something that no band will ever achieve again. This is the absolute peak of zeppelin to me…this song is a masterpiece. One of the most beautiful musical pieces ever recorded in my opinion. And this performance is top notch. The outro literally brings a tear to my eye
I long for my teenage years again, back in the 70’s with good friends and Zep on the speakers

this live version of the rain song is STUNNNINGLY beautiful!
So glad you guys have taken the Zeppelin path!!... Another level all together.... just amazing!! Thanks guys!!
I’ve seen Page four times- Zeppelin, the Firm, Coverdale -Page …when you see him live, you walk around with a shit grin for at least 3 days! Each time was within the first six rows center. TY for this wonderful reaction!!
It’s a big club Nancy. Right on! 🤘😎 That feeling days after, has turned into almost 50yrs since first seeing them. That smile never goes away. Regards 😉
He is absolutely MAGNIFICENT!
I know what you mean. I saw Zep live once, saw Page and Plant a few times, and saw Jimmy solo when he played The Ritz (which was a relatively small club in New York). I’ve seen Plant solo a number of times too. It was always fun watching them/him play.
Saw Zep once but also saw a virtually unannounced Plant at a sports centre, doubling as a small concert venue within walking distance of my home at the time. There was just a tiny little ad in the local paper about his appearance and I thought it was some kind of joke but it wasn’t. As you might expect the concert was packed! 😊
Love the transition from absolutely one of the best rock songs of the 70’s being killed by LZ, to such a sweet and sentimental song as the Rain Song. Only LZ haters can’t acknowledge their greatness. I’m 62 and grew up with all the great artists of the 70’s, and Zeppelin was and is King. Like your guys’ reactions! Nice channel!
They almost touched the finger of God with this one. The rising and falling interplay between JPJ and Jimmy P at about the 11 minute mark on through for a bit is mesmerizing. My favorite live song hands down! Brings tears to your eyes doesn’t it people?
I cry every time I hear it and I’ve heard it a lot. I’m 63.
Yes it does...I'm 64
@@juliemanarin4127 61 here!
Love Bonham's tom work in The Rain Song. He was one of the few drummers of the day that didn't dampen the crap out of their toms. They were well tuned and allowed to ring out as designed. I always appreciated that.
Bonzo had a kettle drum set to his far left , behind his high hat . That's what you hear him playing at songs end .
He knew how to tune his drum set...most didnt!
The best band ever , man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watch pretty much every Led Zeppelin reaction that is posted (you guys are top tier) and I have seen multiple reactors get to this song, and in particular this performance and they have very similar responses. The most common way to express it is:
😮“Jimmy Page is a GOD!” 😮
Jimmy Page at MSG is unmatched. There are two versions of everything sort of. The movie and the album aren't identical because of it being filmed and recorded from two shows. The vinyl is what I'm used to. Awesome.
I was used to the CD version of the album. The vinyl took some getting used to. I feel like a fool when I mess up on air guitar.
@@nickjohnson1445 🤣
100% unmatched!!!!
Me to, I still have the vinyl.
My departed brother in law, rip.turned me on to this track. I was 13 and blown away.
Zeppelin was unbelievable live!! The show was so incredible compared to studio! Glad I was able to experience it!! Always something good! Bonham could follow Page so crazy like!! Live there acoustic and slower songs into heavy stuff! John Paul Jones so behind the scene but so much a part of the greatness!! That’s why they are the b st rock band ever!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I recommended this double song to you a few days ago and told you, you wouldn't regret it. It's two masterpieces back-to-back that VERY few LZ fans know about, these two songs are very very rarely played on the radio or discussed in any way. The story for the Rain Song is funny: George Harrison of the Beatles was chatting with Page and told him "man, you are good, but you don't do any ballads..." So Page just wrote a ballad... Like taking a rabbit out of his hat.... Thank you George!!!!!
And, if you listen you can hear the quoting of it-- a ballad with a little "Something" special in it as a nod to George for the suggestion, heh!
@@joescott8877 Actually that's just you imagining things.
If you listen to the opening 2 chords of The Rain Song they are the same as the Beatles Something in the way. Jimmy's thank you to George for the we don't do ballads
The deep meaning of the lyrics in the song are often overlooked. Tremendous live performance of the iconic band in the 1970s. Thanks for your time.
You should just buy this movie, The Song Remains the Same. You’re going to just watch the whole thing anyways. It’s all great!
Ha! Yes, great call! Hell, they should also get their "DVD"!
I think it's great you heard this live performance without the video. Back in the day it's how I first heard it, and I reckon it makes a difference. This is Zep at the top of their game. There is a LOT of Zep at the top of their game. Enjoy guys.
The guitar notes on rain song are extraordinary
Jimmy Page is playing the double necked guitar in these songs. The Song Remains the Same song was played entirely on the 12 string electric neck (the top neck). He's using a combination of his guitar pick and other three loose fingers to play the other strings of the 12 string - at the same time. Jimmy was ripping those leads on a 12 string guitar. John Paul Jones all over that bass fret board and Bonzo was unloading speed, power and amazing fills all over the place.
Plant's vocal were high and mighty indeed !
Yes unbelievable talent!
Has anyone seen anybody play a 12 string like that live. Incredible.
@GregoryGreock-hz2mg No - I haven't ever seen anyone else play a 12 string electric guitar like that ever. Jimmy is so effing unique.
Unrivaled in the annals of music history.
I'm 70 and I listen to them everyday, I can't get enough ♥️I saw them in the 70 's.I get such a thrill seeing your reaction I'm glad you love them,their one of a kind♥️♥️
Next mind blowing live journey for you two should be "dazed and confused" from same concert. Just under 30 minutes. If there was any doubt after these two songs as to why LZ is the best, dazed abd confused will settle it.
La & Che
This was when Zeppelin conquered America!
You ain’t even heard your favorite Led Zeppelin song yet… you will have had a bunch more by the journeys end. 😎
Hopefully one day you two will sit down and watch the whole concert! Amazing performance by the greatest of all time!!✌️
THE ONLY TRUE REACTION CHANNEL ON THE TUBES. !!
I watched em all bruh !
60 year old white guy from Mississippi !
Keep doin what y’all doin ! !
It’s what sets y’all apart !😊
Thank you!! We appreciate you!!
Yes, not only do they react but also get it and appreciate it. They understand the talent and all the minor things that set zep apart. Plus the one on our right reminds me of a family friend named Johnny soul (real name). Great man and family friend.
These two tracks together are Led Zeppelin at their finest
From the movie of the same name. Concert was held at NY's Madison Square Garden, and is still considered one of the greatest live concert films of all time.
This is what separates Page from other premier guitarists from that era. No one has come close to composing songs like he did. Amazing
You guys slay me - once again.
You are getting better at this guys. Great reaction. Remember that Led Zeppelin's roots are embedded and intertwined in American Blues. Their heroes and influences are drawn from American blues singers like Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, and Sonny Boy Williamson - stick on a bit of British folk music, reggae and soul and you have a national treasure. Nowhere is this more evident than 'Since I've been loving you' from Led Zeppelin III. May I suggest you do a reaction of the album version? Much respect.
That song is truly timeless,, evokes settlements of being in the English country side in the 1500's
Seeing and hearing this sequence in a theatre at midnight in the 70's surrounded by a couple of hundred fellow long-haired hippie-type headbangers with the soundtrack cranked 'cause you know the projectionist is an experience of a lifetime. Definitely, see the video(s) of the show, played at maximum tolerable volume
"want me to play that again?!?" I was ROLLING
Now THAT'S the way to start my weekend! APB and a wake n'bake... Thanks again, men.
Thank you!! Have a great weekend!!
One of the most majestic and ethereal pieces of music ever made . It takes you “ far and away”.
It takes a trained sophisticated musical ear to appreciate the more complicated music
I just TiVo’d the documentary yesterday. It was on TCM. Morning also!
Good Morning!!
@@AirplayBeats this is a live version from the 90s. I was at this show. czcams.com/video/BeDylD8dV7U/video.html
If you watch (or listen) to these two songs live, you really can't come to any conclusion other than they are the best. If you are still undecided watch dazed and confused live at msg, all nearly 30 minutes of it, and it will finalize it. Nobody compares to them, especially live.
In the movie a fan hands Robert a very well deserved joint. Ahhh concerts back then.
In the film there are shots of JPJ and Bohnham laughing and carrying on while playing. Just so relaxed.
LED ZEPPELIN
THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME
"IN CONCERT~AND BEYOND!"
Is one of the GREATEST CONCERT FILMS OF ALL TIME!
Do yourselves a favour and WATCH the WHOLE MOVIE non-stop in it's entirety!
I saw THE THEATRICAL RELEASE IN 1976 at the tender age of 14, and it CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER!
These two songs were played together live because page used the same guitar on both. He would switch instruments after rain song during the slight pause.
I fucking love you guys. "Did you hear it? Do we have to go back?" Lol!
Soloing on that 12 string is not easy.
Gents this is still…just he beginning.
I wish you had seen edited raw footage with limited dream sequences that’s on You Tube. It adds to the magic.
It's so fun watching you guys explore their albums song by song, enjoying and appreciating all the twists and turns along the way; as Che said in a recent video, their discography is unmatched. But THEN - there is a whole other world of magic awaiting you with their live performances. They never played a song the same way twice; they'd improvise live on stage and take the audience on a brand new journey. I was lucky enough to see Page & Plant in 1995 and they were unbelievable. I just wish like you I could go back in time and see all four of them play together. But thank goodness for all the recordings. Enjoy the ride gentlemen!
There is great video from this concert film "The Song Remains The Same"...The Rain Song has the dream sequences from the movie, but get to see a good bit of them playing it 😊
Yes. They need to watch and listen to “No Quarter “ and “Dazed and Confused” off the movie.
Got this album for my 12th birthday can you believe that’s what 12 year olds were listening to in the 70’s best Rock band ever!
The Song Remains has always been one of my favs from these guys. Obviously it's too hard to have just one fav song but that one rocks my soul every time! ✌🏼
guys live is a thing of beauty the video and everything to it crowd vibing out, once in a thousand years
Thus, The Gods of Rock! They're an experience.
Unfortunate timing, CZcams has been purging all the MSG videos in the last couple of weeks… I would recommend buying the movie to stream on apple, or amazon, it’s the best money you will ever spend… so worth it.
Yes you guys need to see the live performance. Actually the whole video of the show is amazing!
JPJ doesn’t get the recognition that he deserves!
You guys are going to freak out when yall hear No Quarter.
I can't wait.
What an EPIC song! I love Led Zeppelin! I've listening to them for 49 years. They have always been in my top three. Kashmir is my favorite song and Physical Graffiti is my favorite album.
Can you believe that guitar work by Jimmy Page? Incredible!!!!
" Next level" is bang on!
Jimmy Page is the mastermind behind Led Zeppelin with the help of their notorious manager Peter Grant.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Best there ever was !
I've heard that a few thousand times and it still floats my boat. Insane talent that should be heard by all. O ya I've got the BOOK AND VHS of this concert....... Priceless
The video is out there and probably the greatest music video there is.
As stated in other comments...watching the whole film the song remains the same of this concert is a fundamental part of knowing the four 😊🎉❤
Required listening. Watch their film The Song Remains the Same, footage of this.
Thanks for letting The Rain Song play out.
Getting the Led out never gets old!
I'm 67 and saw Zeppelin live in 75 at long Beach arena 20th row. I've seen over 150 shows this is my best. I paid 20 bucks for my ticket.
Masters….yep…..Led Zeppelin.❤️🎶❤️ I cried a couple times listening to the rain song….Jimmy n JPJ ….have mercy.🔥
This might be my favorite reaction of yours.❤️
After watching all your Zep reactions, I got out my old Zep Discs and started playing them. Especially this one. Munchie music at its best! Thanks for playing!
wow another great reaction, bonzo has two timpani drums in his kit . i would advise you to watch the movie of this concert... the song remains the same. as this is keeping with the time line of you listening to the band and there would be no spoilers in it for you . well worth a watch . all my best to you and yours from Liverpool
You can see them , it's a movie , and it's fabulous....I was 14 when I saw it ...🧚
In the early 80's us H.S. kids used to watch this at the midnight movies along with some fine doobage...
Those were the days!!🎶✌
@@lisarainbow9703 Black and Blue was popular also. That's Black Sabbath/with Dio and Blue Oyster Cult on tour together...
@@twobeer3316 yep, I remember...
Jimmy playing his doubleneck. Classic. JPJ playing mellotron and bass keys.
Best segue ever...the visuals are emotion- filled for the soul
You guys gotta check out some of the Led Zeppelin 1970 royal albert hall performances. We’re Gonna Groove and I Can’t Quit You Baby from that are incredible.
Led zeppelin rarities has the live footage they are on youtube
LZ is my favorite band - sure, but it's such a joy watching you two listening to them. It's a creamy topping ❤
Remember this was made with 1970’s technology and with Page being strung out on smack. I was at this show ( yeah I’m old ) - so loud and so crisp. I couldn’t hear the subway train coming into the station after the show. Nights like those are why my wife has to repeat everything she says because I can’t hear her. I’ll take the hearing loss any day if this is how I got it.
Y’all are one song away from getting your mind blown! I can’t wait for The Crunge. Everything you think you know about Zep, throw it out the window.
All of their live music is much better than studio! They just get into it so much more!
I don't know if you guys know this but there is a movie called the song remains the same it's two and a half hours mostly led Zeppelin live Great reaction rock on guys
Ooooooh nice JOB!! Nice and CRISPY is right....Jimmy's work on the 12 string on Song R-the same, so killer. When Jimmy leads into the Rain Song, still gives me chills after all these years.............
NO QUARTER next please..!! JPJ's organ, you guys will faint haha..I think it's their best song, the LIVE version that is. If you do it, make sure yo get the version where you can see all of them playing. THX!
So. Guys...i was at this show. I was 15 years old, and a true Zeppelin freak. Me and some buddies took the Amtrak from Syracuse. (I cant believe our parents let us) and tickets were like 15 bucks.
Music like this will never be made again, i was blessed to grow up with it.
Love your Channel guys! ZEPP is the GOAT!
You gotta do it live! The Song Remains the Same live by itself is worth it!
Live absolutely amazing
Waited outside MSG the Sunday before the box office opened on Monday for this concert. NYC is crazy cold in the winter because all those tall buildings really funnel the wind. It was good times back then though.
One of my favs as well, gents
Page is a genius at both tearing up a riff and then a lullaby.
The rain song is a beautiful song sounds so good live led at their finest Jimmy page is a special talent
You definitely to watch "The Song Remains The Same" live concert. You will see all the magic.
Respect to you guys 👍
