John Bonham was the perfect drummer for this group. His sound was so heavy and anchoring, it's as you say, Janet: it set the other band members free. Fantastic reaction!
Honestly, I think they were all perfect, and fit perfectly together at the perfect time. If you took any one of them away, it wouldn't have worked.
come on, Bonzo was the drummer. The boss of us
Saw Zeppelin five times, four shows alone on their first tour of America. I have loved them since I was 19 and I'm 73 now. They never get old, and Robert's stage presence was there every step of the way. So happy to see someone so young able to articulate just how great this was!
I'm a bit younger but well remember dancing to Led Zep on a Sat night out. Mostly at the Wigan Casino before the allnighters came in. That's the UK soul scene, btw - also good tunes/vibe. Main thing was, we actually got out and met up with others physically. I'm so glad for our experience then, compared with today. PS, Mr Plant is still my golden haired god. And for all the young folk getting into Led Zep, every word out of his mouth was about sex. Just for context/understanding. 🤣
born in 67 and in lucky enough to sit on my uncle's shoulders at 10 yo and see zeppelin as my first band/concert. made me pick up guitar.
I was lucky enough to be at this concert. It was great
I’m super jelly lol
You should react to the Celebration concert version of this song. Bonzo's son plays the drums in his father's place, Jimmy is sober, John Paul is the glue and Robert really sets the bar unbelievably high for anyone 45 or older, unbelievable performance with an epic song on stage in modern times, as a living example to all the bands touring now on how it is done.
And it was so loud the seats were vibrating. Fact.
I agree with you! Even older, Page, Plant, Jones and Bonzo's son, Jason are awesome! Plant still has his vocal skills
It's my favorite live version of this song.
Its great but Jason doesn't and cannot be his father though. It's not as good as this version. It just misses, John. Sorry.
Kashmir is my favorite Zeppelin song. Jimmy’s guitar playing is electrifying.
The thing that I found incredible was that Bonham occasionally drummed on 3/4 and Page would play 4/4 then the two would sync every 12th note…
🤯
Led zeppelin songs are riddled with uncommon time signatures. Black dog being the most obvious example.
BULLSEYE
@8:55 HAS to be the hardest kick/crash combo "on the one" of all time. Legend has it that literal galaxies were birthed from that very instant.
BEST ROCK GROUP EVER
Bonham just hits the beat a nano sec after the moment you expect the beat. That is not drumming off the rythm, but it is done on purpose. His timing is perfect. Every hit gives you the feeling you are a kid waiting for a firecracker goes off, but it goes when you least expected which makes your heart jump. The difference is, with a firecracker you get used to it. The way bonham hits the drum every time, it is like he hits your heart and takes over your whole bloodcirculation.
Keith Moon did the same. He sounds like he’s off-tempo, but he wasn’t.
Bonzo was the greatest drummer to ever play. He held them all together. Lovely reaction as always xxx
Cheers pal
jonesy held them all together, bonzo DROVE them!
Four of the Greatest Musicians who ever Lived. GODS
The mighty Zeppelin.
Its mindblowing how Roberts voice has matured and has a PHENOMINAL quality it lacked when he was young. His tember and power along with is vocal range all are TOP NOTCH. The O2 performance was just KILLER.
Great reaction, love the way you tuned in to Bonham's drum work as the defining aspect of the musical landscape. I am a guitar player and honestly where would we be without the John Bonham's of the world. Peace & Love
Janet, midway thru video: That drummer is AMAZING! Did I mention that? LOL"
Those of us who know the video: "You ain't seen nuthin' yet."....This performance was a banquet of charisma! The aura of...just--JOY, surrounding John Bonham as he drums makes me think that HE's reflecting--yet again, and, in a way, humbly--that he is in a band that is WORTHY of his talent. I think the others could have the same thought about themselves.
Kashmir is the definitive Zeppelin...The best song in the catalog of the BEST BAND EVER. My reaction is the same as yours every time I hear it
Every. Single. Time.
When it came to stage presence, musicianship and song writing Zeppelin were rock monsters. Jimmy Page put together a rock band that will never be equalled. After all these years I still get a rush listening to this song.
nailed it! He broke new ground and remains one of the best drummers of all time.
Your musical insights are spot on. Loved this reaction, please do more Zeppelin! Their live stuff from earlier in the 70's was avant garde blues.
They were so damn good!
There's never enough love for John Paul Jones. Bass and keyboards. A quiet force in the background who kept it all together and the band would not have been the same without him.
I simply can't take my eyes and ears off of that wonderful Danelectro guitar that Jimmy's playing. A precise surgical instrument tuned for special purpose.
This is the pinnacle of music. It won’t ever be achieved again.
NOBODY does it like Zeppelin!
I've been listening to Led Zeppelin longer than you've been alive. I own every album, even the rare ones.
Love this reaction! I have been amazed with Gonzo’s drumming my whole life. As a drummer, I love how you understand the driving force, that the whole song is being driven by the greatest drummer ever! Thank you❤
Please forgive but John Bonham's nickname was Bonzo ~ not Gonzo..
This is my all time favorite band and song.
Check out Achilles Last Stand from this same concert!
(Just discovered this channel. Janet, you are a Sweetheart)
About the magnificent song Kashmir, somewhere there's a version of Kashmir with Robert Plant holding the note and extending the words "how I feel....".
In the song, he is out in the desert, striving, thirsting, dying -- so capturing the song story's desperation by extending that word and note is a powerful music statement -- and genius
My favorite Zeppelin song!
"A story of its own was in the drums", that's a perfect description. And also those keys!
There are plenty of Led Zeppelin videos you can view today to react. You'll see Robert, Jimmy, Paul & Bonzo in full body view and find out that they are the Kings of Rock of all time. Their presence✨ and talent speaks volumes. Glad to see someone that had no knowledge of them respond this way but honestly, not surprised. For those who knew already felt the power✨ of these souls✨ that completed us at a young age. We have been transformed and taken into a dimension we can enter anytime and anyplace. #1LZFan✨🎶✨
Love your commentary! Saw them live in at Madison Square Garden in 77..I was stunned for 3 hours and 45 minutes and wondered what just happened. Nothing like them
About that simple drum beat...there are multiple time signatures in this song.
That beat isn't so easy to hold up under those conditions. 😎
You're such a Great passionate person !
Absolutely incredible
That's the thing about the true classics, they never get old, no matter how many times you hear them.
That was really really great!! ❤
I love your reactions to Led Zeppelin girl. More please
thank you for doing this song!
Probably my all time favorite Zeppelin song. I bought this album back when it came out and wore it out.
In an interview Robert Plant lists it as his favorite too.
As some others have said the live version from "Celebration Day" in '06. It was 2 decades after they stopped playing and 3 decades since this song came out. John's son, Jason, sat in on drums.
John Bonham was an amazing drummer. He was in a class with guys like Neil Peart and Gavin Harrison. Phenomonal drummers!
The celebration concert of this song shows my h more of an older group who don't miss a beat
So gorgeous
Thank you enjoyed your reaction
Being a songwriter, musician and vocalist myself, they have always been one of my favorite bands. It's like all four members have lead instruments. Some of the old bands l played in did both covers and original songs and in doing the covers, we did a lot of Led Zeppelin music. One thing that you might not have noticed is that at the end of the song is when John Bonham hits the gong, he hits it with his fist. You had a great reaction to the song.😊
Great reaction! I highly recommend watching LZ live from MSG (The Song Remains the Same / The Rain Song), they perform these 2 song together without a break perfectly, you will not be disappointed. Cant wait to see your reaction to it!
NAH NAH! watch no quarter and stairway to heaven. controversial, but i think the no quarter live from song remains the same is their best song, holy christ, it is insane they used to pull that sound off.
Would love to see more led zepplin reaction...
I so love this song!!!! The shifts have always seemed, to me anyway, to be turns in the road up into the picture/scene they are creating. Yes, I did inhale on occasion. I did a search for Moody for the Moody Blues and saw that you have not done a video on them yet? I prefer the live performances when they are older as, again my opinion, they really bring it regardless. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Moody Blues got me through some "interesting" times. If I might suggest the live performance of Knights in White Satin?
I don't listen to the radio anymore. Haven't in about 10 years. I just go through my albums I've been collecting since the late 1960's. Put on a great band like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Unicorn, Pink Floyd. Too many to name. And flow back to the good days when music was raw and real. No vocal assist. Just pure voice into a microphone and the band on instruments playing their hearts out. Sorry but music nowadays is so fake. Bands like Led Zeppelin are legend. Will always be. Simply greatness. Forever blessed I got to go to so many concerts back in the day of all the greatest musicians ever.
For a better look at the physical passion from these lads, go back to 1970 Royal Albert Hall. Every song is great but may I suggest Wholle Lotta Love or for 20 mins of pure bliss, How Many More Times will blow your mind. Btw, robert has on a dark blue shirt in that one - ya know - in case you wanna match him again! 😊
My laughter at your last comment really upset my cat whom I now have to mollify or receive the ugly, sidelong glances for the rest of the day. :-)
It’s cool how a vocal/stage presence coach can watch Robert and be mesmerized… a drummer can watch Bonham and be in awe… a guitarist will watch Jimmy and be amazed… and a multi-instrumentalist can watch JPJ play keyboards and bass foot pedals and be impressed. No matter what angle you view this band from, it will impress you. This show was a comeback of sorts, the band had not played live in two years and had not played in England for 4 years… Punk was storming the music scene and Zeppelin were starting to be viewed as dinosaurs. They made a clear statement: we are back, and we are still the greatest band on the planet. Love your reactions!
SUPERB Reaction!!! Thanks! there are TWO videos of Zep doing "In My Time of Dying." YOU, I should think, will want to see the May 24th version (the other is May 25th), from "Earl's Court." in 1975. Both will "do," LOL, but the earlier one has Robert Plant at perhaps the MOST charismatic 3-minute stretch I've ever seen him. I'm talking about the first part of the song, the slow, "bloozy" buildup. His Stage Presence is Off the Charts, imo. Bonzo and the others also shine, lol, but, yeah!
You should check out the album Raising Sand (2007) with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. It won five Grammy's including best album. Their chemistry is undeniable. I'd recommend Killing the Blues or Gone, Gone, Gone. Kudos to T Bone Burnett for getting the two together and producing the album. If you want to see "stage presence," catch their performance of several Raising Sand songs and some Zep covers blue-grass style as well from their CMT Crossroads appearance. You can feel the chemistry.
I saw Robert Plant and Alison Krauss perform here a few months ago, it was fantastic!!
I'm going to see them in June. I can't wait!
Robert's instrument is his voice... At one point you got the head bangin going..... Zeppelin was/is in a league ALL their own. Yes you mentioned Bonham's drumming. Many rate him as the best rock drummer of ALL time. I can agree with that. I believe that in his younger days he worked as a brick/stone mason. There is video of him using his bare hands to play. Drumsticks? Who needs them???? These days many use auto tune and studio tricks. Zeppelin just used raw musical talent and skill. Nothing on fire or exploding, just entertainment...... I SO enjoy your channel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They did use effects, echo and sometimes modulation for his voice on certain songs. And the drum mics in this were going through a phaser, you notice it most on the cymbals.
Led Zepplin defines rock n roll stage presence
Thanks for reacting to Kashmir, Janet, you're amazing. Try watch this song at "Celebration" show to see more body language of Robert. And Jason, the son of John Bonham (RIP), on drums
Love your descriptions ❣❣ I agree with comment below - the 2007 Celebration Day concert is amazing - They're in their late 50's/early 60s except John Bonham's son, Jason who is fabulous on drums. Still in Led Zeppelin form - so good. Kashmir from that gig is one of the best performances of it. Thanks for the reaction. ☮
I 232nd a reaction of this from their; Live - Celebration Day concert. They are all near 60 yrs and original drummer; John Bonham's son Jason is on drums. They recorded 108 songs and most are very good. Another one of their more moving songs is; Thank You. If you truly love songs that will move you, try: Mother, Father by Journey - Live 1981 - Houston
yes it makes total sense. welcome to the club, lady
I'd like to recommend 2 of my favorite bands with amazing stage presence :)
Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell (Live)
Jethro Tull - Aqualung (Rockpop In Concert 10.07.1982)
You should watch the celebration day version of this song. You will be amazed at how good they sound 35 years later.
It was part me, on my spiritual journey in the 1970s, it was about me. I love the song, yet loved the vibe it gave to me in my life at the time.
Perhaps it is good for anyone in their 20s.
Someone once described Plant’s performance here as courageous singing. I thought that hit the nail in the head.
jimmy's guitar sings robert plays his voice and john and john are just masters
In this same concert there is better film of Robert's body language in the song 'In The Evening' which can be found on youtube.
I was there , that was Knebworth ...we went to both gigs...I lived in Stevenage and we walked to the gigs , the best song that night was Achillies last stand....it is on youtube
hey,
At the last live concert of Led Zeppelin, the "Celebration Day"
in December 2012, in London, this song was also played and it sounded a lot better than the original recording (also understandable, because of today's technology) Robert Plant, still has a great voice, the band was great, too Jason Bonham, who played drums for his father ("John Bonham" R.I.P.).
"Led Zeppelin - Kashmir (Live from Celebration Day) (Official Video)"
Here is another masterpiece by Led Zeppelin "Led Zeppelin - Going To California (Live at Earls Court 1975) [Official Video] "
TOP.
Have fun if you should listen to this song and further many very good emotional reactions.
Its great but it misses John. It just does. Zep aren't Zep without John Bonham.
Please watch the celebration day version. Matured like a fine wine. x
i’ve listened to them since i was 10, thanks cuzzo. she introduced me to stairway to heaven, and i thought it was okay (i was out of my mind as a kid). i was a big kiss fan lol, just all about the image. these guys actually made me like good music. thanks plant, page, JPJ, and bonzo rip.
I would also recommend the 1994 "acoustic" symphonic version of this called "unledded"
Easley, my favorite led zeppelin song of all time
The Celebration Day version is the definitive live version; just incredible.
You're so right about the music on the radio today. You're too young to have lived this time; it was glorius! There is still a lot of terrific music today but you have to really to search it out because unfortunately it's not popular. People are not to blame; it's the music industry.
Great Reaction ! Love your enthusiasm for LZ. I'm 59 and have been listening to LZ all my life with more appreciation of the greatest rock band period now more than ever. Your right about the drummer John Bonham, he was the rock. When he died in 1980, Robert Plant did not want to continue as LZ anymore.....
I was there... one of the most amazing gigs at Knebworth of all time.
You could try Firth of Fifth by Genesis as one of your reactions
You'll absolutely love this band if stage presence is your thing. Another band I'll suggest to check out that is super talented and plays hard rock is Band-Maid, amazing stage presence from all of them. Bass player is fun to watch, always drinking beer and whiskey on stage. And off.
I know what you mean by the limited camera angles here. I think this footage was from what was shown on the screens by the stage for the crowds further back, hence the close ups of faces, keyboards etc instead of more full length body shots.
Having said that, while Plant was very much the frontman, I think Bonham's stage presence at the drums here is incredibly powerful in itself. All too often we only get to hear him, so I for one love this video as he is given more time and focus here, which he rightly deserved.
As you said, nowadays stages are full of effects but if you have a band like this who have natural charisma, they don’t need all those decorative embellishments. ❤
Love your videos, love how the music touches your soul. Suggestion for another top 5, Dear Mr Fantasy by Steve Winfield And Traffic, will take you to a happy place!
The 1975 Earl’s Court shows are the ideal visual Zeppelin
Include Robert Plant gyrating away
Watch them play this same song (live) at the Celebration Day concert. Older but Outlstanding!
Would you PLEASE react to the same song, "Kashmir", Live at celebration day?
Led Zeppelin when they are older.
It's even better!
Lovin' your channel!
Kudos!
And I was talking about the celebration version greatest song ever and performance ever!!!!! Vocal’s unbelievable!!!’n
Kashmir is an epic song, and this was a performance for the ages, and you got that 100%. Words simply don’t do it justice. We can try, and we do, but this performance is beyond words.
I M O this song was SO much better on the NO QUARTER cd with the Egyptian Orchestra, sets the mid- eastern vibe so much more. Was blessed to have seen that tour for Page & Plant..
Good music - more then a song.
Thanks. Its a masterpiece saying the least. J.B. is from a bricklaying family. Early he did some and has great core arm strength. Used 24 inch sticks, refaced most drums every use and broke them often. Hit so hard (YES!) that they put him in another room to record. Nobody could hear themselves play.....He's my favorite slightly over Keith Moon. RIP YOU TWO CRAZY ASS DRUMMERS
...and they were great friends.
even though i've listened to led zeppelin plenty of times, i've never realized how good john bonham actually is until now, the groove is just outta this world
My God, Plant have such an "angel" and charisma on stage. He doesn't even have to move around to fill it . And Bonzo could have demolished a wall with his sticks, he was so powerful
one of these great things led did. after 50 years i still enjoy leds music.
The Drummer, John Bonham, one of the best, if not the best drummer of all time! Too sad humanity lost him so early!
Everyday is good, when you listen to the GOATS!😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Find an oldies station on the radio and you'll still hear the good stuff.
One of my greatest shocks was hearing the "elevator" version of Stairway to Heaven while stuck heading up to the clouds. Fortunately, my mind decided it was not worthy of maintaining the "music" but the revulsion was worthy. :-)
The very best rock and roll band of all time in my humble opinion. Each muso is excellent in his field. Bonzo is the best drummer i have ever heard, Jimmy best guitarist, John Paul is amazing whether on keys or base and Robert is just something else. But the song writing is amazing
you should look at the 2007 concert at the 02 thay still got it and jason is the only drummer that can fill in for his dad
three things:
The crap in music today - young people like you should hold an uproar as things will never change until you stop listening, stop buying and revolt. In the late 70s a disc jockey in Chicago held a blow up disco night at White Sox Stadium. To get in you had to bring a disco record. In the 7th inning stretch they took all the records and piled them up and blew them up.
Of course everyone went wild and got out of control running across the field and all but, it sent a message.
It was also as cool as hell.
As a singer you must be inspired by Robert's vocals and what he does.
As a teen we did not have video or anything. Our only connection to Zeppelin was a few pictures on the album and rock mags. What there was was only their music to speak for itself.. Many of us knew names but, not who they belonged to or what instrument. Just the music. And we bought it all up. Because of sheer talent and ability. They were the best.
Instead of seeing their images we had our imaginations to fill in what was being presented in the musc.
You guys have nothing today. Computerized music and auto tune. No talent, no imagination, no creativity. Nothing. Like a robot with a paint brush. unfeeling, unexpressive and dead.
If you watch Celebration Day video of Kashmir you will see the guys at around 60. Not only that but, because their drummer died in 1980, the drummer in this one is his boy. Jason Bonham and he is as good as dad taught him to be.
To this day Jason has his dad in his thoughts and carries him with him. His love for his father is apparent and he is still Bonzo's little boy showing how good he can be for dad.
If dad was still alive he would be as proud as can be of him. Just like when he went to wake his son up in the middle of the night to play for his friends so he could show off his son and how good he was. They both admired each other.
Simplemente los dioses del rock
Did you notice the telephone on top of John Paul Jones' keyboards? They tell that the telephone was just somehow forgotten there and the line remained connected when the concert began!
Check out led zeppelin "since I've been loving you" from the film "The song remains the same"
Now do the same song but from the live Celebration Day Concert I believe in 2004. They are pushing 70 years old. The drummer is the original Drummers son. Robert Plant sounds even better. They got together for this one concert after almost 30 years. Special performance.
It does not get any better than that. The greek gods of rock n roll. No band will ever achieve this level of greatness. Best band ever!!
I just found your channel, only watched two clips and loved both of them. I haven't check3d if you did some reactions to Frank Zappa, i hope so. If not, please treat yourself woth it. You will love everything about him, his music, his stage presence.
Keep it up!
