My original idea for the opening tracks for ‘Houses of the Holy’ was that a short overture would be a rousing instrumental introduction with layered electric guitars that would segue in to ’The Seasons’, later to be titled ‘The Rain Song’. Again there would be a contrasting acoustic guitar instrumental movement with melotron that could lead to the first vocal of the album and the first verse of the song.

‘The Seasons’ 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. I’d worked on it over one evening at home. During the routining of the overture now titled ‘The Plumpton and Worcester Races’, the half time section was born and the overture shaped in to the song, ‘The Song Remains The Same’.

These rehearsals were done in Puddle Town on the River Piddle in Dorset, UK. The first set of recordings were done at Olympic Studios with George Chkiantz. We then came to record at Stargroves, Sir Mick Jagger’s country home, and, like Headley Grange, with the Rolling Stones recording truck. ‘The Song Remains The Same’ was played on a Fender 12 string, the same one used on Becks Bolero, with my trusty Les Paul number 1 on overdubs in a standard turning. The ‘Rain Song’ was an unorthodox tuning on acoustic and electric guitars. On live shows, it became a work-out feature for the double neck.

Whatever Zound does with Marshall, there is always a way to get great tone

R.I.P. Peggy Scott-Adams. Just found out Wednesday she passed 3/27/23.

And Peggy Scott (pre-Adams) as she sounded at age 17. Great Googly Moogly. This was the first record of hers that I heard, back in 1970 or so.

the new one by Last In Line...



went to the album release party in Vegas on Saturday. Was a fiery show!

Got me a signed copy of the LP. Double LP at 45 RPM for higher fidelity.

NLPD: LZ Live at MSG '73. Some more songs on this one than my original TSRTS soundtrack album, and sound quality way better. Could be due to remastering, and all these songs, and more, are nowadays included on digital releases. More fun to play LP, though (these are 140-145 g/record). I wonder if some songs were recorded on different night than those on TSRTS. Seems like some passages are sligthly different, but could of course be due to remastering.

Give it 3 minutes.
