For me, and actually the band itself, this is Led Zeppelin’s masterpiece. It shows the growth and maturity of their music in ‘73-‘74. I believe this is the peak of their unbelievable excellence. Jimmy claimed that a casual conversation with William S. Burroughs (prominent Beat generation writer) was what spurred him to venture into a new form of musical expression- Eastern exoticism. It was Burroughs that encouraged Page to go to Morocco and investigate the music firsthand. The timing of this is a bit off but hey, if Jimmy Page says it, I’m not going to argue lol. Jimmy and Robert took a trip in 1973 from Guelmim to Tan-Tan , Morocco. What resulted was a perfect fusion of Rock and Eastern trance music. Once again they recorded Bonzo’s drums at Headley Grange to get the powerful sound in the now famous stairway. Jimmy used his Les Paul Number One and tuned it to D A D G A D, which is commonly heard in folk music. Musically it is a “round” where you can play things on top of it. JPJ plays his Jazz Bass, as well as the Mellotron. He is the music arranger and plays the trombones on the Mellotron, while a full orchestra fills in the strings. Robert’s vocals are emotional, hypnotic, and languorous - like a snake charmer or storyteller. He truly “takes you there”. You may recognize this song as the basis of P Diddy’s song “Come With Me” from the movie Godzilla. Hey, Led Zeppelin music is so expansive and has such variety it can be used for almost anything! This is tied for my personal number one LZ song (the other is The Rain Song), and I often used it as my ringtone. Great reaction video. I’m so glad you are discovering Led Zeppelin the way we did - one song, one album at a time. It’s the only way to truly appreciate the magnificence of the greatest Rock band of all time.
Right on! Thank you so much for your descriptive comments it truly adds on to my experience and makes it all the more better you always provide great details!
Always better to listen to good music with some friends, or other peoples😂You 2, reminds me, when i was with my friends, discovering that kind of music, Hendrix, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, 15 years old, smoking some hash, so good memories😂....Peace from France ✌️
LZ tracks are never the same, rock, blues, jazz you name it. Being ONLY in their late teens and yearly 20s, truly talented young men who can put legendary music together like this. This will go on many more decades to come, timeless. 💃☘️
I saw Plant and Page in 1996 on their No Quarter tour and Kashmir was so epic with an orchestra as well as Moroccan etc musicians. To think Zeppelin used to create this wall of sound with just the four of them onstage is crazy!
Page and Plant did a tour together and Jimmy had reimagined some of their tracks - if you listen to Irvine Meadows Amphitheater Kashmir 1995 you'll hear even more middle-eastern flair. Michael Lee on drums did a great job and The Cure bassist also played that tour. The hired the local orchestra (Santa Monica College) and a Egyptian band.
Welcome back Richie. I've seen Get The Led Out *many* times and love them! You're not wrong about the orchestra; in addition to the Mellotron played by Jonesy, they had Pakistani session musicians come in for the strings and horn parts, all arranged by Jones for the album cut, but yes, only the 4 would play this live. The working title for this song was "Driving to Kashmir", however had nothing to do with that location. Instead, Robert wrote it during a trip to Morocco where he'd been driving and driving on a road that seemed to stretch on forever. North African music has been a favorite of both Robert and Jimmy, but especially Robert, who has visited Morocco many times. In addition, there's also a hint of Indian tones. Robert has said that phrasing the lyrics was a challenge because he wanted to match the enormity and drama of the music. The piece began its life some three years prior in some home demos Jimmy had done with Bonham. Jimmy and Bonzo would often practice together and work out various pieces without the others and I'm sure that's partly why the drums were able to lock so tightly with the guitar when they wanted. Something else a little unusual, a phaser was used on the drums instead of guitar. This is a lush, exotic, panoramic, cinematic, orchestral piece of music that was a favorite of the entire band. My favorite live performance of this is from Knebworth because it's with all 4 members and the one from the Celebration Day concert being second because they had Jason Bonham on drums.
Wow thanks again for another descriptive comment! I like how you mentioned how robert found it difficult to phrase/deliver his lines, i could definitely see how that could be a problem during the creative process of this song now that you pointed that out however he delivered! I don’t think he could’ve have phrased those lines any better, will definitely have to check out that live as well, thanks again for the comment!
I knew you would love this one too, & live at Knebworth (1979 is the best live of it. Yes Plant & Pages journey to a music festival, driving on a road through the Sahara Desert. The road seemed endless, & there was conflict at the time, & meeting the people who seemed to be from a different time. They couldn’t understand each other’s language, but the music was common ground. Plant fell in Love with Morocco, & still visits there often, I believe he also has a home there. Plant wrote about their experience, but the song didn’t come together for a couple years. I heard that JPJ thought it would be impossible, with all the different timings. Again this is the song all four were most proud of. Thank you & Richey for the reaction, you are definitely surprising me, posting so many.
You have to see them perform this live! , other worldly! The 2007 celebration day concert, is crazy! But the early Earls Court concert is…what can I say🤷🏻♂️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I just listened to it! Need to upload it, but ill have you know that i absolutely loved it, no surprise, i love that 2nd riff, with that ascending scale bum, bum-bum-bum-bum-Bum-Bum-Bum-BUM-BUM-BUM-BUM! 🎸
A true masterpiece!! P diddy used this on the Godzilla movie track and Jimmy played guitar for it Watch this live 1979 and in 2007 when they were in their 60s with Jason Bonham! I love 1979 knebworth one!!!
I predict you'll go officialy apeshit upon seeing the live Knebworth 1979 performance, lol! Bonzo's drumming, especially towards the end is almost inhuman! And Jimmy is so fun to watch as he enjoys the hell out of himself! Now on to the often "softer" but still phenomenal Sides 3&4! Dang, I took a little break from youtube, I still need to catch some of your Houses of the Holy reactions!
Mmmm YUM This song is **Intense* others say "Feel like i am going into Battle" "Hypes ya UP" etc it is just **WoW** **MindBlowing** definitely puts me in that **Trance** thingie i am always talkin bout heh tis just **Magical** Thank YOU **To Mito** & **Richie** (yep my finger went up to that fkn "T" again ahahaha smh) Ya both **ROCK!!!** Weeeeee **HappyPixieTwirls** **PixieHugz&LuvzALL**
1:38 .. there actually is an orchestra playing in the background from the instrument sounds. This song was how I first learned who the band was a very long time ago in grade school and was completely blown away by it. Needless to say after hearing PG it was one of the first 3 records I ever bought (which I still have). Notice I said records, there was no CD's or downloads at that time lol. Back then you could buy 3 records for under $20 and have change left to buy food lol..
Zepperalla is an all girl Zeppelin band that has the best zeppelin guitarist ever! She plays very authentic studio zeppelin and a master of the cello bow and does it live. Check out How Many More Times by those girls
Ooook nevermind they are calling me back in a bit soo YAY i CAN watch this now ha & YAY your friend **Richie** is baaack too **KickAss** ha & again my CrAzY fingers wanted to make it "Ritchie" no clue why ahahah k F YEA!!! **Get It** & course once again THIS is another of my MOST favs when i 1st started listening to them so YAY goin in NOW Weeeeee...
I'm probably the only person who doesn't love this song. I recognize it's greatness but it has never done anything for me. Hot Dog (can't wait for you to get there on In Through The Out Door) gets me excited. This never has.
I can't understand the hype surrounding this song for almost 50 years, embedded live in other songs and with a reduced arrangement it was bearable. For me, Kashmir is just boring with this uniform rhythm and studio arrangement. For me, progress would be a musical opening and expansion. In terms of rhythm and production, PG is too one-sided for me, a walk with blinkers into a uniform dead end.
MASTERPIECE! Houses of the Holy is a masterpiece and Physical Grafitti is a masterpiece.
Agreed 1000%!
❤❤❤Robert ❤❤❤
Two live versions to watch: 1979 at Knebworth, with the original band, and 2007 O2 arena, with Jason Bonham taking his dad's spot on the drums.
Yes and yes!
Will have to keep that in mind! Thanks for the suggestions!
To me this is the greatest rock album ever.
and the album itself is so intricate and fun
Plants all time song...his favorite❤❤❤

You are absolutely right!
Kashmir is the sound bomb
💣

Yes unbelievable isn't it? They are truly genius!!
It blows my mind, truly!
3 guys are making all of that music 😮

@@ToMitoReacts1017 As always, you are very welcome.🙂
The next song "in the light" is my favorite 😊
I already reacted to it it is absolutely amazing! Just need to upload it!
Fantastic choice of music 🎵🎶🎵🎶.
Great reaction Mito.🔥

To Mito they drove from Gulamine to Tan Tan, in North Africa, on that long desolate road.
You have to see them perform this live! , other worldly! The 2007 celebration day concert, is crazy! But the early Earls Court concert is…what can I say🤷🏻♂️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
No the Knebworth (1979) is better.
Love the Middle Eastern scales in this song, very dramatic
Same here!
I can't wait for you to do the next one. In The Light. It's one of my 10 favorite Zeppelin songs
I just listened to it! Need to upload it, but ill have you know that i absolutely loved it, no surprise, i love that 2nd riff, with that ascending scale bum, bum-bum-bum-bum-Bum-Bum-Bum-BUM-BUM-BUM-BUM! 🎸
You should listen to an early version of In The Light called Everybody Makes It Through. It's when they were creating the song but some prefer it
It sounds like a full orchestra because John Paul Jones is playing a keyboard called a Mellotron that creates all those sounds buy one person.
A true masterpiece!! P diddy used this on the Godzilla movie track and Jimmy played guitar for it Watch this live 1979 and in 2007 when they were in their 60s with Jason Bonham! I love 1979 knebworth one!!!
Ahhhh thats probably where i heard it from too!😊
Here we go, the GOATS!! 🐐💯🐐
