| Song |
"In the Evening" is the first song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's final studio album, In Through the Out Door, released in 1979. The track features an extended distorted introductory section led by Jimmy Page's guitar, before beginning the song proper. The track is the most straightforward rock song on the album, yet at the same time introduces the more synthesizer driven sound found on In Through the Out Door. Page likely used a Gizmotron to create the droning effect in the beginning of the song, although it is possible he used a violin bow instead.
Led Zeppelin performed this song live during 1979 and 1980. During the 1979 performances, this song would be played directly after Page's guitar distortion solo.
