Jimmy Page shares unheard demo that became “The Rain Song” for 'Houses of the Holy' 50th anniversary

March 28 marked the 50th anniversary of Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy, and guitarist Jimmy Page marked the occasion by sharing a special treat with fans.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame guitarist shared an early demo he called "The Seasons," which eventually became "The Rain Song." He explained that the clip "was a memo to myself as a reminder of the sequence of the song and various ideas I'd had for it in its embryonic stage."

The more than seven-minute "The Rain Song" was one of many classic tunes that appeared on Houses of the Holy. Others include "The Song Remains The Same" and "Dancing Days."
