"Your Time Is Gonna Come" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on their 1969 début album Led Zeppelin.
Overview
Guitarist Jimmy Page played a Fender 12-string steel guitar on this track.[1] In an interview he gave in 1977, Page stated that he only learnt how to play the steel guitar during the sessions for the first album.[2] Bassist John Paul Jones played an organ, using a pedal to create the bass. The lyrics concern an unfaithful girl who will pay the price for her deceitful ways.
The only known performance of this song at Led Zeppelin concerts is a short snippet during a show at Tokyo on 24 September 1971, during the "Whole Lotta Love" medley, of which a bootleg recording exists. The name of the bootleg is Light and Shade. Jimmy Page performed "Your Time Is Gonna Come" on his tour with The Black Crowes in 1999. A version of the song performed by Page and The Black Crowes can be found on the album Live at the Greek.
