Page Plant | The Rain Song | MELBOURNE | Feb 1996

[@cherylphelan2422]

My father died the same day John Bonham died. My husband was born the same day Jimmy Page was born.,,different year, same initials. I am five days younger than Robert Plant. They were the best of what we hippies were back then and a lot of us built our lives listening to and playing their music. We are us because of them.

That handshake at the end was EVERYTHING

[@askledhead]

My favorite Zeppelin tune , my favorite performance of The Rain Song post Zeppelin . Roberts' voice doesn't fail him at 4:52 and he feels it , BEAUTIFUL ✌

[@mrmrsearly3462]

Led Zepplin NEVER gets old!

[@Thecoutch]

This is what I love about youtube-finding obscure videos like these. Great vid.

[@kevin2themystic]

My favourite Zeppelin song; just a beautiful performance!!

[@KN-lq4zv]

I saw them on this tour in australia, absolutely unbelievable, jimmy page was spinning around on stage in Brisbane and the crowd was going nuts. .

[@youtoo2233]

It was nice to see Page and Plant get back together to get the LED out for a few years in the 90's

[@jlp2061]

Very true.

[@mrmrsearly3462]

It was indeed!

[@lisamoroney3036]

Definitely 👍

[@davidbuzzin426]

👍🇬🇧❤A MASTERPIECE

[@ronaldpetrin5823]

True artistry at it's best.

[@emilyjohnson8808]

Absolutely beautiful!! I've heard many live version by all the Led Zep band but I love this Page and Plant version :)

[@eleon_df2989]

They are really, really superbs. Incomparables. There're no worlds. They give us a músic so so special. Impossible to define. I listen and feeling their songs with soul... 💘

[@alancumming6407]

For me it is one of the great LZ songs.

[@albertaboyz]

15 Dec 2019... I Cant believe this was 24 years ago already..........

[@johnscialfa7391]

i know...i was thinking the same exact thing...i saw this tour at the spectrum in phillie...seems like 5 yrs ago!

[@vickyluong2863]

One of their best songs! And a good long amount of time seeing Charlie Jones in the shot !

[@hamishnicholls3314]

I saw the next show , last one of the tour.Drove 8 hours from Adelaide to Melbourne , vc commodore did timing chain just outside of Nihl. Thank Christ it was on the way home! Just an amazing show !(Scored set list from mixing desk now framed in my man cave)

[@askledhead]

A true LedHead , my favorite Zeppelin song ✌

[@locutus1126]

My fav song. I saw Page and Plant 3 times in the 90's and they never played it. A few years ago, Plant played in Detroit and he played this and it was beautiful, he still had it and he nailed the "I felt the coldness of my winter" better than here. He also sang Wonton song at that show, epic.

[@susannelson7216]

Amazingly awesome beautiful song , Thank You Led Zepplin !!!❤🇺🇸🇬🇧✌☕🌝🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@jasondavies2332]

My favourite song of all time.

[@patricklucas3166]

I was at this gig... Thank you for sharing it. They were perfection!

[@leighsoft]

Brilliant, thankyou

[@randyhodder8186]

Most comforting and hopeful music I have ever loved and respected ❤...thank GOD FOR MY LED ZEP...mellos the savage beast within....

[@corinamalt9823]

Goosebumps good stuff just beautiful ❤❤❤❤👍👍

[@ea8838]

RIP drummer Michael Lee 💗

[@jlp2061]

Gorgeous. Nice to see both doing music.

[@RAinteractive]

The most beautiful tune ever - if you could put Jimmy Page's soul in a jar, it would sparkle and make this sound.

[@iceman5006]

Saw Robert solo in 93 his voice was great. Then I saw Page & Plant twice in the 90's and voice was tired then forward to 07 LZ reunion o2 arena and he killed it on Kashmir. It's strange.

[@michaeltouchette8156]

Stairway is a great song.... but, this song transcends...

[@joeyhuebner10]

I feel the same. Stairway is beautiful, but the lyrics, delivery, and instrumentation in the Rain Song does it for me. Possibly my favorite of Zeppelins acoustic numbers. I don't know why, but when Robert gets to "flee from me, keepers of the gloom" its an instant emotional trigger.

[@japzbene1562]

Jimmy looks stoned ! I Played this song as I walked down the aisle to marry my wife ! My favorite version of this is The Earls Court show !! PEACE LOVE LED ZEPPELIN

[@ayhamshaheed7740]

Joseph Penzabene he was off drugs by this point. Hence why he could actually play

[@F_Evans]

He does look atleast stoned

[@j.v.f.8736]

According to Chris Salewicz, Page was off drugs but he was drinking a great deal, with Plant’s mates complaining that his boozing was adversely affecting his performances.

[@antronfrazier9037]

Beautiful!!!

[@user-iv9bl8sk8k]

This song is a real flight💖

[@alexaalexa6524]

With Zep you have the best vibes for your live!!!! EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@atayemin8417]

was at this show and purchased the video of the whole show off the original bootlegger,it was incredible how hard he was hitting the strings on this song,threw it out after one viewing,the picture was so shaky but the real star of this show was Michael Lee,so sad he passed away.

[@alexhighfield1891]

Great performance. Jimmy Page plays this beautifully. Hybrid picking is not the easiest technique.

[@danielcastaneda7801]

6:24 you just couldn’t help but let out a yell of excitement , same here lol

[@andyiswandy1955]

Beautiful song

[@dijamaira1981]

But I know..that I love you so....Jimbert & Zep.

[@oscarcaviglia5640]

Few people may not believe it, but, strings arrangements were made by John Paul Jones.

[@derekjackson1039]

originally but these were re written by whatever his name was..

[@mariececile3973]

Dieu sait que j'admire Plant et Page, mais sans JPJ , il manque quelque chose d'essentiel à leur musique. C'est le musicien sans ego de rockstar qui apporte une sorte de magic touch que je ne peux pas expliquer. Sans lui, même avec 3 guitaristes pour le remplacer, il manque quelque chose d'essentiel.

[@joeyhuebner10]

Anybody who knows Zep knows that John Paul did the orchestral arrangements for songs like Kashmir and The Rain Song.

[@maryjvanderwerken3192]

I luv JPJ, I am in awe of his talent and versatility. BUT.....I feel that the additional strings detract from the delicate perfection and beauty of this song. I prefer Page and Plant as two no-frills troubadours, singing for their supper. ☺💙🎶💙🎶💙

[@maryjvanderwerken3192]

Didn't know about JPJ's contribution. So, JPJ was part of the Page and Plant tour after all. I'm a musical purist and I think the big fat orchestral string section detracts from the beautiful simplicity and purity of this exquisite song. In this case, I think less would certainly be more.

[@annarks70]

Thankyou for sharing. Lucky Melb and Sydney

[@DianeCumberlandSongbird]

I love you!!!

[@Hortron69]

Looked like Pagey almost laughed at the “ju-ju-just a little rain...” bit 😂

[@zepfan9988]

Cheers I remember the Sydney gigs both of them surprisingly

[@KevinHallSurfing]

Haha yes I remember 96 Sydney 'No Quarter' concert and '72 at Randwick.

[@joeyhuebner10]

Kevin Hall- You are very lucky

[@KevinHallSurfing]

Very true. '72 was a last minute "let's go" thing, no tickets. Slipped the ticket guy $5 and he waved us through. Never happen these days!

[@joeyhuebner10]

Kevin Hall- I would like to see Plant on his current tour. Carry Fire, from what I've seen, is brilliant. But hey, being born in 2002 isn't always gloom and darkness, we've got KZbin.

[@joeyhuebner10]

Kevin Hall- Definitely not, back then, you got what you paid for. Now, you have to pay a bloody fortune to see the likes of a lowly star who isn't worth their salt. Good thing you caught Zep on their only Australian tour, must have been incendiary!

[@ALROB6160]

I TRUN DOWN THE LIGHTS PUT THE HEAD PHONES ON LIGHT UP & ITS 1975 AGAIN!🙂😊✌

[@shawnastarr3605]

❤

[@richardmadden_music]

Thank you for posting Block. Are you able to post more from this show, is it complete?

[@dppatton972]

WINDOW PAIN .

[@rcallapp1]

Jimmy Page looks very high!

[@ea8838]

Doesn’t miss a single note though

[@joeyhuebner10]

He was off drugs at this point.

[@Dieggo731]

Led Zeppelin could continue with Jasson Bohnam and be the Best band to the present . Only for Robert's negative to continue .....

[@keithgraham7623]

Heroin?

[@leo3521]

Great performance although Page is high as F**k

[@miss.maroon2249]

Yup! He's hurt so bad that in the year he was divorced by his first wife and he's going on the next level with one of the youngsters from Brazil! So he would rather be high as he wants so don't remember what happened to him! 🤔

[@MUGSYBROWN]

How’s just …….. WOW !!! Sound ?
