I'm actually kinda sad that when they re-released The Song Remains The Same in 2007, they switched this version with a different one. I think this one is slightly better. Also, at 1:00 when the picture switches to the record, it looks like the last song on that side hasn't been played as much. Not too big on The Rain Song, I guess?

@egall090 I like both personally

As far as it being played a lot, I don't know. These records are actually my dad's so I don't know how much he played them back in the day. He's a fan of playing the whole side so as not to risk scratching the vinyl up but maybe he didn't used to be that way or something I dunno. Nice catch though!

@egall090 Nothing to do with how much the track is played - the appearance is due to the quieter feel of Rain Song. Check any vinyl record - especially those with quiet intros - you will see the difference.

@brownyman64 That is very interesting! Thank you for your insight... I never realized that either about vinyl.

the 2nd solo by page is ridonculous. i've loved that since i was about 5 years old. he just rips into that solo, loses himself for just a second, sets himself up for something big, and then just annihilates the end of it. what a fucking legend.

These were the jammin days...nobody does it like LZ

The phrasing that he lays down at 3:00-3:10 may be my favorite 10 seconds of Page's career.

This version is so superior to the one they used on the re-release, it's ridiculous. The second solo is one of my favorites from Jimmy, and that's saying a lot.

If you've never been to a big city on a Friday night, this is what it's like! the whole feel is out there on the boulevard.

I have this on vinyl too. My parents gave me their record collection 10 years ago.

@egall090 Indeed - and before we had digital music (CDs etc) that was how we would identify which part of a song we want to skip to - by placing the needle in one of the stripes. Ah, the good old days !

[egall090]

@brownyman64 Ah of course. How could I not realize that! It's actually pretty neat when you look at something like "What Is and What Should Never Be". You can see stripes go along the record.
