“Overture” or The Song Remains The Same / The Rain Song, was the first title for this majestic composition of Page/Plant. The first, almost a complete instrumental piece, full of sparks on the Page’s 12strings, a shocking sound of the drums of Bonham, the Jones’ bass lines and poetic lyrics that takes you to the cities of the world almost forgotten, Plant a scream slide that introduces you to “The Rain Song” with a tributed intro to Harrison’s “Something’” , when the same George was telling to Bonzo that the problem of Zep was that “they had no ballads”. Here is the live take from Madison Square Garden in its giant “The Song Remains The Same”
