In The Evening
Thanks to Charles Eric Horowitz <ceh1@acpub.duke.edu> for original post.
This is the main riff. This version can be played without
the vibrato bar and is easier to play :-)

In the Evening by Led Zeppelin
The intro thing is just a droning synthesizer and Jimmy playing the open
E-string with a bow. The overdub is called(I think) a rotovibe which
is a little spinning wheel which when you touch it to the string,
produces that rolling sound.
The main riff is double-tracked and with a little adlibbing is basically:
by the way this is with a strat, or something with a whammy bar:

The solo is something like this:
The starting thing is Jimmy holding down the Whammy Bar as hard as he can
and forcefully picking out a E-Chord and letting up on the bar:
