There are other live versions with Jimmy Page, too. Also, you have to see the 2007 Celebration concerts when Zepp performed for th3e last time and they rip this song up when they were around 60.

    Been waiting for weeks to see you guys react to this one. You didn't disappoint. I don't know if you can fully appreciate how fantastic it is to see well informed people from a different generation experience this for the first time. The album was released on my birthday and I was in hospital. My mother bought it and brought it to me in my hospital bed. I had to sit there and look at the record jacket for a week before I could get out and put it on a turntable. I just sat there with my mouth open for an hour and a half. Remember this was 1975. It was both evolutionary and revolutionary. It still amazes me today and even more amazing to see it having the same impact on you guys nearly 50 years later. Bravo.

    Zepplin's Kashmir "riff" is one of the most ICONIC riffs ever recorded. It has been sampled or copied 1000's of times since this was released. Most of the time you will have the music track (no lyrics) playing over a scene in a show or movie as well, especially when you are looking for a "build up moment" (montage) before the main action kicks off.

    Thanks, guys, for all the amazingly righteous music and amazing analysis of the songs, instrumentation, and the soulful/unique voice of Robert Plant. The meaningful synchronicity of the keys, bass, drum, guitar, and those vocals are stunning. First Ballot Hall Of Fame music.

    Absolutely lives up to the hype. You can listen to this song a million times and still find things that you missed. For me the space for all the elements to be heard is incredible.
    Fun fact for drumming and producing geeks, the drums for this song were recorded in the same stairwell in Headly Grange as When the Levee Breaks.

    "A real gangster record..." - can't say I've ever heard it described that way, but you're spot on!! Zeppelin went all-in, hard, trippy, groovin' with this album - so many styles, but they all compliment each other so well. A true masterpiece!!
    And as a long time listener, follower, lover of John Paul Jones - again, spot on - if you can't describe what it is, chances are, it's JPJ!! No truer words be spoken. The dynamic between JPJ & Bonham is immeasurable - definitely ranks in my top 5 rhythm sections of all time (along with Geddy Lee/Neil Peart, John Deacon/Roger Taylor...to name a couple)
    Great reaction to a stellar track!

    Now you know why we couldn’t wait for you guys to react to this gem. Easily one of their greatest songs. Bonzo was steady as a rock, JPJ playing everything, Page was grooving out and Plant was at his finest, improvising throughout the entire track. This is a greasy track.
    Ooo Ooo yeah yeah baby let me take you there. Great reaction boys!!!

    Plant is very much an improvisational type of singer. Every time he sings a song it's different from the last time. I've seen him multiple times over the last 50 years and every time rhe songs are performed differently. You have been going through the studio albums, and by the way, you need to continue to the end or you are going to miss some absolute classics of rock history. You also need to start doing some live versions, particularly at Knebworth, MSG and O2 Arena. Studo versions are one thing but you are entering another level when you take in some of these live performances.

  • @patches6309
    @patches6309 Рік тому +3

    Bonhams "fills" are simply Legendary but also his tactical pauses have been analyzed and thought insanely talented as well! Bonham hits a pocket and stays until he feels a fill needs to be added. These slight personal touches of what and more of "how" he does these fills take carrying the beat to leading at times and Bonzo was able to do so only because of the incredible ability of JPJ and Page to adjust on the fly and fall in line. What you basically are experiencing is Rock on the highest musicianship level there possibly is. The layered engineering of this track is mind blowing. Watch this performance LIVE! It is a MUST listen/watch!! Enjoy~

    I love your musical knowledge and appreciation of the music I grew up with. So many great memories listening to Kashmir, my first concert ever was Led Zeppelin at Madison Square Garden in June 1977, making out with Donna P in my basement to this song. In an interview, Robert Plant said Kashmir was his favorite song. Mine too. Guess I’m in pretty good company.

    When this song first hit, it's all Anyone could talk about! It was so UN-usual for it's time. Much like "Four Sticks" I think it was based on their fascination with Morocco. JPJ's arrangement & orchestration on this is next level..I can't wait till you guys get to
    "IN THE LIGHT"...JPJ's masterpiece..

    Feeling it the way we all felt it first time. Just jaw dropping. Everything you said. JPP = Orchestra. Bonzo is the groove. Plant singing every note. What isn't up front, but very much part of the song is the 12 string guitar playing with strings on the 2nd section. Page killin' it in the backround. Love you guys for what you do. Thank you.

    You really should watch the live Celebration Day Concert and performance of this masterpiece! It is truly amazing..they are much older and it is their last performance together. The drummer is Jason Bonham, the original drummer John Bonham's son and he gives a killer performance!! These guys definitely prove that age is just a number! It blows me away every time I watch it!

    I heard an interview with John Anderson the lead singer of the band Yes. He said when he first heard Kashmir he was ready to give up music saying I could never write something that epic.
    It is a masterpiece, and whether you are, or not a fan of Led Zeppelin you can't deny just how much this song has crossed all forms of music it is a song for the ages.

    50 years ago when Led Zeppelin was playing we girls discovered practical benefits of Kashmir....
    It could energise you while painting a mural and if you put the vinyl on in your room later and was on top of your partner, the nasty dance this song fueled was epic.
    Look at the smiles this song elicits in 65 to 75 year old women.
    Happy memories. Naughty happy memories.

    Hey Fellas. Another great Zeppelin song! They really covered a wide variety of musical styles. You never knew quite what you were going to get when you listened to a Led Zeppelin song. You should really check out the live version of this one from the Celebration Day concert at the 02 Arena in London, which I believe was 2006? It had Robert, Jimmy, and JPJ joined by Jason Bonham (John's son) on drums. It really was done beautifully in this performance, it's truly worth a listen. Enjoyed your reaction, as always. Peace.
