Kashmir is not just a song, it's a journey.
I thought it was a kind of exquisite sweater.
Bah-dum-bomp.
It's also top notch hashish.
Brilliant description
You sound very American on your "journey"?
@@GooGooMuck72 nah you sound very American.
Their performance of Kashmir is epic during their 2007 Celebration Day. This concert holds the worlds record for the highest demand for tickets for one single concert...there were about 18,000+ tickets but had 20 MILLION requests for tickets.
And I didn't get one 😢😢😢
Kashmir is a region on the India Pakistan border. Beautiful, mountainous and been fought over for years by the 2 countries
With 70's music, it's less important to know what the songwriter was writing about than it is to feel where the song is taking you. This song is a journey, and only you can know where you'll end up.
Studio first is a GOOD call. This song IS,,,,Led Zeppelin. 💥💥💥💥💥👍😎
The guys in the band consider this their masterpiece
Yes Robert wants to be remembered for Kashmir and not Stairway, Jimmies favorite 3 are Whole Lotta Love. Kashmir and Since I've Been Loving You.
@@stevenseul361 SIBLY is my personal fave
A legendary rock song. It's a masterpiece. Nothing sounds like it.
Stargazer by Rainbow. R J Dio and Cozy Powell. A fantastic song.
This is Zeppelin’s favorite of their catalogue, according to the three living members. All songs are their children, but this one meant something special, especially to Robert and Jimmy, who were inspired by a journey across the desert in Morocco. Robert was almost in a trance on that long drive and endless horizons, and those mystical thoughts came to him. Read the lyrics…it’s poetry and pretty deep.
Nothing to do with Kashmir, which is in the Himalayas, but that name evokes mystery and the exotic, so it’s well used here.
Robert Plant also said the song Frightened him as well LOTS of different Emotions & Feelings attached with this Masterpiece
@@CosmicVagabondPixie completely understand. He was dealing with profound subject matter..,,speaking of Time, Fate, life’s journey……creativity and it’s mystery…..is his life preordained, or is he a free agent? Is there a higher power? Plant is a spiritual man, and has deep thoughts….which, as a hugely private person, he keeps hidden away most of the time, I think. Two sets of lyrics from this song I think reveal allot. The first is:
Oh, Pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
He has spoken of his mind as a “ceaseless roar”…(Ifvyou know his album Lullaby and The Ceaseless Roar….it refers to this)…so I’m thinking he might be using a storm as a similar metaphor . He refers to a pilot of the storm….(a higher power? His creative spark?) who leaves no trace…. Where does creativity come from? Thoughts inside a dream? It’s a mystery…..no one really knows.
And the other lyric that really gets me is:
oh, Father of the Four Winds, fill my sails
across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
Along the straits of fear
This can be interpreted almost like a prayer, although I don’t think he meant it that way. But he is asking for the wind to be at his back as he goes forward. I’ve heard him speak of being very conscious of Time…,and life as a journey that one set out on….unknowingly ..,…trusting in Fate, or luck.
He keeps on “open face”….open to new experience, embracing change, always seeking, restless. That has been his gift and his burden. And he speaks of the “Straits of Fear”. He asks for the “Pilot” to be with him across the years, and also with him through times of fear.
I almost tear up when I hear these lyrics, because we all know what he would face so soon after he penned those lyrics.
So yeah…I can see why this song might scare him : Where did those lyrics come from…..and were they prescient? He is grappling with great mysteries here……as he continues to do……very aware of his mortality….very aware of the richness and beauty of life, and of its losses.
perhaps those lyrics are the closest to his heart of any that he has written …..and give us a glimpse of the soul of the man behind the public facade…..especially the facade of the “golden god” that was his public persona at that time.
very idiotic of them to name it kashmir then isn't it. its like me writing a book about my trip to france n naming it london
@@mogheanil actually no. You were probably not alive then, or at least not an adult like myself. “Kashmir” was seen in the late 60’s as a physical representation of the mystical land of Shangri-La ) google if don’t know reference). A legendary land of surreal beauty and enchantment.
Many “hippies”, who had the time and money, made pilgrimages to Kashmir to seek spiritual truths. And most of us who listened to this song knew what they were evoking by using that title. And the lyrics that Plant wrote bear that out: Those lyrics speak of a mystical metaphorical journey to “the elders of s gentle race”…where he discovered that “the meaning was quite clear”.
Read the lyrics with this in mind, if you care to. And you will see that the song was perfectly named to describe what they were trying to evoke: not the physical country of Kashmir, but the ineffable mystery of Shangri-La ……. And spiritual knowing.
And if you really care to understand, read my comment above about the meaning of the song. I’m betting you won’t 😉
@@helenespaulding7562 yeah u r right even beatles came to india in d late 60s. many prominent figures have come here to seek spiritual enlightment. but back then kashmir was safe, ppl from my family (my uncle n his american wife went there to see the beautiful lakes & apple, pomegranate orchids. Sometime in the 80s ussr invaded afghanistan and terrorism in the region started cos america retaliated and armed these jihadis. kashmir isnt just beautiful but has geographically significance which is why its so important india china pak. the reason u gave is d real reason & not the trip to morocco which many have been saying here in the comments
One of the greatest songs every recorded. Period.
Question mark!!!!
100%, it's my ringtone, every time I hear it I reach for my phone!
THE best ever recorded.
Bonham!!
@@mikehoo66can't listen to music on a phone
Record or the cd is the way to go
It couldn’t be produced in 2024 , because there is no one talented enough toddy , to have the ability to go into the studio & come out with something like this
I think that often about most music from that time. No way you’d get anything close to a Zeppelin, Boston, The Who, Styx, Rush, etc. The 70s-80s had the best imo.
Don't forget about the drums, John Bonham displayed his mastery in this one.
GOATS = every single one of them. So beloved, so missed.
thanks
Especially since, in this song, Bonham and page are playing in different time signatures.
This song is one of Led Zeppelin’s favorite Led Zeppelin songs 🔥 The band likes it much better than Stairway To Heaven. I’m glad you did the studio version first 👍
The studio version is better in both Kashmir and Stairway to Heaven!
When you think about the diversity of their catalog remember they were only together for 12 years!! That is still hard to wrap my head around!
I'm 71 and got to see them twice in the early 70's. Phil, you got it 100% right. If you younger people want to know how it hit us at the time, always go with studio versions, with a few exceptions.
Watch live at Knebworth (1979) & live Celebration Day (2007), when they are in their 60’s & Bonham’s son Jason plays drums.
Appreciate you listening to studio first. Especially with Zep. Page is a wizard producer.
A true masterpiece
They were inspired by Moroccan & Arab music a lot. This is THEIR favorite song.
Watch them do this live in 2007 Celebration Day Concert
It is EPIC!
Or Kashmir live at Knebworth
Unbelieveable versions!!!
Yes! The Celebration Day version IMO is the best version ever. Goes to show age is no barrier when it comes to music.
Knebworth is great…Bonzo is ridiculous
The Knebworth version is great but to see them own the stage in the Celebration Day version is fantastic! I know it's not John but the other Bonham killed that performance!
My favorite live version of Kashmir is the one in 2007 celebration day concert with John Bonham Son Jason on Drums it’s Epic! A must see
That live version is going to blow your minds. Celebration Day!
I was fortunate to see Robert & Jimmy perform this with the Houston Philharmonic Orchestra, can't recall the year!
The members of the Orchestra were very enthusiastic in the performance. With great respect for them both.
It was very emotional, hell yeah.
1995-1997 sometime..,
I'm so glad you listen to the original recording first. I think it's so important to hear all the nuances.❤
This is the song that introduced me to Led Zeppelin and made me a Led head for years , it was my first step into “ hard rock” and I never looked back ❤❤
Sam, The cover is the same because it’s a compilation album of their most famous and beloved songs
This song is from 1975. Immigrant song was on Zeppelin III, released in 1970
My Uncle saw them in 68 as an opening act for the Who God I am so jealous
Bless you for doing the studio version first!
The 2007 version is so good with technology allowing John Paul Jones to play the strings etc on keys
I was sooo high the first time I heard this! Magical!😎👍
My favorite zep song... also Robert plants fav
Kashmir and In My Time of Dying are my favorite Zep songs, but 99% of them are great also.
My favorite rock tune of all time.
It's second to none, for me.
Physical Graffiti was 1975 The Presence Album was 76’
Presence sucked
@@earlfox6030 "Tea For One" Did Not Suck!
@@earlfox6030 Achilles doesn’t suck
Immigrant song was Led Zeppelin 3.
"Mothership" is a greatest hits album for Led Zeppelin.
"Immigrant Song" is on "Led Zeppelin 3"
"Kashmir" is on the double album entitled "Physical Graffiti".
Used to hear this on the radio but never knew who sang it. Took me YEARS to find it. Every time it would play, the DJ never said the name. Finally heard it again one day and got wise and called the radio station to ask. He told me the name, I run down to Sam Goody and start looking through all the Zeppelin albums. ...and I can't find it. WTF? The guy said "Cashmere" It's not on any of these!! True story. Anyway, bought Physical Graffiti as he said it was on that album and later figured out my blunder. One of the first CDs I ever bought too.
This kind of thing always happened to me in the 70s. I hardly ever knew what band did what song. It didn't change until I got old enough to afford to buy albums.
every time I hear a Zeppelin song it's my favorite
🤪🤪🤪👍
I completely understand 😂
The studio version is impeccable ✌️
This song is about Plant & Page driving through the Sahara Desert, on their way to Morocco, for a music festival. None of the band members had been to Kashmir, it’s the song the band members are most proud of. Plant fell in love with Morocco, & still visits often to this day. The people there seem like from another time, not modern times. Though they each couldn’t understand the languages, the music was a bond. There is footage of Plant & Page playing music with the elders. The road through the desert seemed endless, & views seem all the same. Page played guitar for P Diddy’s Godzilla, to this music.
Well....Kashmir is no where close so...the story makes no sense
@@neilmccomsey9550 that is the story, my guess the name Kashmir just lyrically sounded better. I suggest doing some research if you don’t believe the story, because the story has been told several times.
And they were pretty high at the time.
Kashmir is a city in southern Pakistan. Is that Arabian enough?
@@neilmccomsey9550 I believe they used Kashmir as a metaphor for what they felt a hot dry mysterious place seemingly from a time long past and the name just rolled of the tongue in english better than the places in Morocco which inspired them.
I still don't understand why you have only listened to the live version of "Since I've Been loving You". The studio version is so much better!! It will touch your soul in a way the live version never will. It is one of the greatest achievements in audio recording history! You really need to revisit that one.
Peace
I think the live version is best from msg, but also love the studio version
You made the correct choice about going studio with one as the "effects" are much more pronounced and mystical.

SO, now that you say it, YOU just suggested your next Led Zeppelin song. "Ramble On"
Recorded in 74, released in 75. Jones melatron plus some brass and strings tastefully arranged by Jonesy. Live he replicates most of it with melatron. But all four members shine on it and band has long considered this, not stairway or whole lotta love as their definitive work. Achilles Last Stand is another Zepic you need to check out. Stay with the studio and then live format.
Zepic "nice one Cyril" a Tottenham supporter will know.
My favorite Zeppelin song - please react to the live version in 2007 - Live at Celebration Day - you get to hear Plant still belt it out and John Bonham's son, Jason kill it on the drums
This always takes me on a magic carpet ride
The celebration day version of this is (2007) is the absolute best 👌 definitely DEFINITELY check that out! Also proves how much they still have the talent after so many years. John Bonham's son plays the drums and is phenomenal!
Some of your comments in this video reminded me that you should listen to Ramble On from Led Zeppelin II. A favorite of many.
Yus indeed
Echoing others, the 2007 performance of Kashmir live on Celebration Day is a must watch and listen. Absolutely incredible how they perform and sound.
This song was originally released on the Physical Graffiti album; "Mothership" is a compilation of hits, rather than a proper album. 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. In addition to the Mellotron played by Jonesy, they also had Pakistani session musicians come in for the strings and horn parts, all arranged by Jones. This is a lush, exotic, panoramic, cinematic, orchestral piece of music that was a favorite of the entire band.
Live version from CELEBRATION DAY Concert is the one to do. Their first concert in almost 30 after Jon passed away. Jon's son is the drummer. Plant's voice is amazing at age 70. He didn't lose a thing. Millions people tried to get tickets for the concert.
Battle of evermore one of lead zeppelins best a Beautiful story, a must rear.!!🥰
This has been my ringtone for years!
I will always remember this track and intro being used in RATM - Wake Up (Matrix ending credits) and Puff Daddy - Come With Me (Godzilla movie).
My favorites LZ songs are Whole Lotta Love, Immigrant Song (also Kasabian - Days Are Forgotten reminds me that song) and D'yer Mak'er (because of Sheryl Crow's cover).
Love your BabyMetal journey so please don't stop and come back for more.🦊🤘🔥
Trampled Under Foot!! Love the jam!! Always great!!❤
The gods that are Led Zeppelin, with me for over 50 yrs. 🥰
Now immediately do this song again from Celebration Day. It's amazing 40 years later. Might be the best live rock performance of all time.
2007 Celebration Day Concert is 10X better. Hard to imagine, but it is truly is a ride!
Don’t think I’ve ever seen Phil soooooooo delighted with a song . Awesome! 🤩
This is originally off of Physical Graffiti.
Best Led Zeppelin song.
Fight me😌🙏
You also could check out the version Robert and Jimmy made with an Egyptian orchestra. Love it !!!!;-)
Yes! Great version also.
It's amazing and a must see
Yeah, it’s on the live album No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded and can be seen/heard on the Unledded MTV project.
O2 arena live from 2007 Is a classic tribute to John Bonham.. His son Jason nails it on his father's Drum kit...
The better one in the sound department, me thinks, the live version that is.
The brilliance of Zeppelin is the journey they take you on with unique arrangements and amazing musicianship that would never happen if you remove and replace any of the four remarkable musicians. They came together and created the greatest band in my 65 year lifetime to this point. Listen to their first song “Good Times Bad Times “ from the 60’s and it still sounds like it could’ve been written yesterday! Truly a beautiful gift for humanity ❤❤❤
They reacted to it already
@@stevenseul361 Thank you for your comment my friend. I’ve heard their reaction. It was just a general statement of my appreciation for Zeppelin’s contribution to music. I love interacting with music fans 🎶
The greatest band is the beatles and then the rolling stones. Zeppelin is number 3
@@shoeplayisbad1 we have the exact same top 3. I would probably rank all three #1 if possible. Thanks for the reply
@@DougCaffey all number one works
Good.....studio. Live never meets the same level for this.
John Bonham's drumming was better live. He was a monster.
The version from Knebworth in 79 pretty epic though.
Yes. Was about to leave the video when I thought they were reacting to the live version.
Studio versions rule !! 😊
@@lyndoncmp5751 I think that's fair. But the rest of the music for this song just doesn't work as well, when played live.
ah, say what now..go watch Knebworth and/or Celebration Day...amazing. Would always prefer watcing them live...the joy in watching page play - GOAT
There are 3 stellar live versions of "Kashmir", and I can't pick a favorite. The first is from 1979 Led Zeppelin at Knebworth, then in 1995 Page and Plant did a special for MTV they called Unledded. The version from that performance is totally different in the best possible way, including a full orchestra. The third is from 2007 Celebration Day which is also incredible featuring Jason Bonham on the drums. Enjoy!
One of my favorites!
This Mothership album is a greatest hits album.
Another Masterpiece. Zeppelin never disappoints. Saw this live they were mind blowing Lucky me❤
Kashmir is a territory in Northern India. Mothership is a compilation album. A retrospective compiled after they broke up.
Bravo! Bravo for your decision to go with the studio version for your first listen.
Kashmir is a famous area which is part of India and part of Pakistan. It's very close to the Himalayan mountains and has some sort of mystical connotations. Plant and Page were adventuring in the desert in south Morocco when they wrote this song.
Unrelated, but cashmere(the high dollar wool) is derived from Kashmir. Where it originated.
its indias part, pak has occupied it illegally
One of the first albums I ever purchased just after release. I was 13.
The gritty vocal is because the year before Robert had surgery to remove the vocal nodules in late '73 and he hadn't quite recovered by the time the recorded this in '74.
Thank you for not doing the live version 1st. You should never do a live version of a song if you haven't heard it before imo.
Except Porcupine Tree’s “Anesthetize”.
Well almost never
Anything off UFO’s epic live album Strangers in the Night (entire album) and Rush’s Xanadu from their live album Exit Stage Left would be my exceptions to this rule
True. Except for the Grateful Dead, never listen to studio stuff. IMO.
Exactly
My Absolutely Favorite Led Zeppelin Song Great Song
Legendary Song
Legendary Album
Legendary Band
It sounds familiar because P. Diddy made the song "come with me" for the 2000s godzilla movie soundtrack which uses this theme.
I read in one of the many books about Zeppelin that yes there was a mellotron used for the strings. But also the Calcutta National Orchestra played on the track as well. They played the string arrangement written by John Paul Jones, and he conducted the orchestra when they recorded their part.
As for their ethnic sounds in various songs, the band apparently called it the CIA: Celtic, Indian, Arabic. Kashmir is in India BTW.
Heart does a good live performance of Kashmir and Immigrant Song
And Battle of Evermore ❤
"Kashmir" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. Featured on their sixth studio album Physical Graffiti (1975), it was written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant with contributions from John Bonham over a period of three years with lyrics dating to 1973. John Paul Jones was late arriving to the studio for the recording sessions, so did not receive a writer's credit.
The song became a concert staple, performed by the band at almost every concert after its release. It has been described as one of Led Zeppelin's two most overtly progressive epics (the other being "Stairway To Heaven").
Page uses a guitar tuning of D-A-D-G-A-D, which he had used for the instrumentals "White Summer" and "Black Mountain Side". The song combines different rhythmic meters : the guitar riff is in triple meter, while the vocal is in quadruple meter. Plant felt that the drumming was an important component of the song and that Bonham did not overplay his part.
Page recorded a demo version with drummer Bonham late in 1973, when John Paul Jones was late for the recording sessions. Plant later added lyrics and a middle section ; in early 1974, Jones added orchestration. Session players were brought in for the string and horn sections and Jones added a Mellotron.
The lyrics were written by Plant in 1973 immediately after Led Zeppelin's 1973 US tour. None of the group members had visited Kashmir. Instead, Plant was inspired during a drive through a desolate desert area of southern Morocco.
The 1988 Schoolly D song "Signifying Rapper", which samples "Kashmir", was the target of lawsuits following its use in the 1992 film Bad Lieutenant. In 1994, Page and Plant successfully sued Home Box Office to have the song removed from televised showings of the film and Live Home Video and distributor Aries Film Releasing were ordered to destroy any unsold copies of Bad Lieutenant as part of a copyright infringement ruling.
Absolutely epic
"" Frankenstein "" AUDIO VERSION 1972 Original by The Edgar Winter Group 🎸 🎹 🔥 very different than the LIVE VERSION 1973.
I have an unsealed original press of that album. Only $50 at amoeba in Hollywood. Was listening to Frankenstein earlier (on digital, not vinyl).
Best rock band of all Time Led Zeppelin
IMO, this is one of Zep's four top tier songs: "Stairway," "Kashmir," "When the Levee Breaks," and "Immigrant Song." As for Middle Eastern influences in rock, they've actually been there from fairly close to the beginning. Surf music was influenced by the Middle East, Latin music was influenced by the Middle East, "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane was heavily influenced ... so there may be more Middle Eastern influence in old school rock than you think, or may know about. And if you go back earlier, there was an interest in "orientalism" about every other generation, going backward, which typically included Middle Eastern music.
For me it's this stairway , black dog and whole Lotta love. Immigrant song I don't like much
I saw Zed Zepplin in Tampa Stadium, Tampa Bay, Fla. back in the day and I also saw Pink Floyd, Animals tour there too. Also, Jethro Tull, Robin Trower, and Johnny and Edgar Winter their Back in the day! 😎 I saw so many concerts back in the day I lost count! Our music was so important to us back in the day! A good stereo at home and in our car was a must! You could have a beater car, but if the stereo was good, you were cool! 😎
If you get the opportunity to see Jason Bonham’s Zeppelin tribute band, go! A really fun evening. And they are GOOD. “Mr Jimmy” from Japan on guitar. He has made the study of Jimmy Page his life’s work and it shows. I danced allot. They now have the technology to do Levee live, and it was wonderful!
Great fun guys... I grew up in the 70s and got a little burned out of Zep (especially Stairway) but this i can listen to all the time 😊 The live version with strings is EPIC!! Can you imagine as a violinist getting the call to join LZ on stage? 😮
Kashmir is from Physical Grafitti (1975), a double LP that featured some new music (at the time) and leftover tracks from sessions from the previous 5 albums.
Trampled under foot is another good one.
@@movietimeateds69
DEFINITELY!
♫ Talkin' bout love ♫
So funky.
Discovered this track because of one my favorite Philadelphia Phillies Chase Utley had this as his walk up song when he'd bat at home. Always loved it growing up and still think it's the hardest walk up song ever.
This is from the Physical Graffiti album. Not the same album as Immigrant Song but the same as In My Time Of Dying.
Kashmir is a place, it's in northern India just East of Tajikistan. The song is part travelogue of their trip into that region of the world, and part power ballad. It is always in the top 5 of all-time rock songs, in anybody's list.
Bonham's drum outro is unreal.
I agree. Also if you crank up the volume at the last fill of Misty Mountain Hop 👍
Amazing song. This was played at my step sons funeral it was one of his favorite songs. Great reaction ❤❤❤
Bonham's style on the drums reminds me of Stevie Ray Vaughan on the guitar. Both have a very bold and strong attack yet also exquisitely delicate and articulate. You can really feel how the instrument is a part of them.
Plant and Page always said they wanted to be remembered for this rather than Stairway to Heaven.
My absolute fav from them. Celebration Day concert has The son Jason on the drums and he kills it! The modern sound equipment makes this one of the best live performances I've ever seen. Very clean sound.
Thanks for more Led Zeppelin ❤
The 2007 is the live from Celebration Day. They were in their 60’s. It’s amazing!
Kashmir is a vast area in modern day India and Pakistan. However, the song was written in Tam Tam in southern Morocco. It is from the Physical Graffiti album although 'Mothership' is a greatest hits album (Immigrant Song is from Led Zeppelin III). The two live versions are Knebworth from 1978 and their reunion/farewell 'Celebration Day' concert in 2007 at the O2 in London.
Absolutely my favorite Led Zeppelin song. And speaking of 'rambling on', have you listened to Ramble On by them yet? Plant's spellweaving voice really works so well, and there is a touch of The Lord of the Rings, literally.
Phil & Sam thank you for doing the studio version first. Its just like you mentioned , the studio versions are what we first heard when these now classic songs were introduced to the world.
