Led Zep's acoustic songs are some of the best music ever written.

I agree with that pfox. [thumbup] And the video posted by Dave of the version with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant with the orchestra from "No Quarter" playing the "Rain Song" shows how much
of a master Jimmy Page is of playing and orchestrating with the acoustic guitar (looks like he's playing a Martin D-28). I just love that song.

Thanks Dave! The Rain Song is a favorite of mine. I learned it from the Led Zeppelin Anthology guitar book back in the 80's. Dig the vibrations while playing that tune.

Led Zeppelin is one of my fav top ten band's ever. I thought the movie had one icon (Page) and 2 guy's that are good musician's. Good movie very good movie but Page ripped them both a new one.

zeppelin are the band i listen to and love the most and the rain song is one of my favourite things to play acoustic but i always seem to start singing either the beatles dear prudence or buddy holly raining in my heart throughout parts of the song. It's really annoying that i can't play or listen to it without them 2 songs popping in there. Completely involuntary. Incredibly annoying. Maybe it's best no one tries to do it in case you start doing it yourself and can't stop it.
