🎸 Experience my cover of Led Zeppelin's iconic "Kashmir" live version from Knebworth 1979! This legendary track from Physical Graffiti is known for its hypnotic, driving rhythm and mystical vibe.
About "Kashmir": "Kashmir" is one of Led Zeppelin's most epic and complex songs, blending rock with Eastern-inspired scales and Middle Eastern rhythms. Here are some fascinating facts that make this track such a legend:
The song features a unique time signature of 3/4 layered over 4/4, creating a trance-like, marching rhythm that gives "Kashmir" its hypnotic quality. This rhythmic pattern was groundbreaking in rock music at the time and adds to the song's mystique.
Written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, the song was actually inspired by a long drive through the Sahara Desert in Morocco, not the Kashmir region of South Asia, as often believed. Plant described the journey as almost spiritual, leading to the song's expansive and cinematic feel.
"Kashmir" quickly became a centerpiece of Led Zeppelin’s live performances. Robert Plant once said it was his favorite Led Zeppelin song, and it’s one of the few tracks the band continued to play live through various tours, always bringing its powerful, almost mythical energy to the stage.
