@@dianajemison105 to the best of my knowledge, JPJ had the notes for this recorded by an orchestra and programmed into his melatron. He then came up with the arrangement.
If you watch the "Celebration" version of Kashmir you will see 4 people, 3 instruments....no orchestra whatsoever. There are versions that have actual orchestras....but not this one
@@jerrymartin5100 the orchestra he is hearing is John Paul Jones on keyboards while holding down the solid bass on the keyboard foot pedals. JPJ is the unsung hero that makes this song as the other 3 stars do their thing as always. I bought my first Led Zep album at 13 years old in 1973 and it was magnificent listening to it on my quadraphonic stereo system. LZ was my fav band then and remains so to this day. Mark
@weldonbailey1005 I saw Zeppelin in 1977 at Capitol Center, 9.50 per ticket, my first listen was in 1969, I have Zep tattoos, my all time favorite band.
In my humble opinion, the drummer for Led Zeppelin, John Bonham, is the greatest rock drummer of them all. He drives the entire band, and his technique and power is unmatched. And no drummer played the bass drum - or kick drum - like Bonham.
This album is an epic legendary masterpiece of rock and roll. I’m 53 now and have listened to this since I was 8. It’s just as moving and beautiful as it was as a kid.
Gonna be 70 in November. This album is their best. This album will put your head right. Just sit down. Lay down. Close your eyes and let the music envelope you enter. You flow through you. You don't need drugs to get high. Just listen to this album
I literally cry nearly every time I listen to this song. It’s so emotional for me. My favorite song of all time, and has been since high school. I graduated HS in 1981, and grew up in a wonderful time relative to music. My concerts included Zeppelin, Ozzy, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones….and many more. I didn’t appreciate them as much back then as I do now.
See this is why young people should listen to old music, then you can see exactly how much of newer stuff ‘borrows’. I love it when reactors say ‘wait, I know this, was THIS the original?” and are so surprised 😂
@@xmathmanx I do, or at least I try to, and usually give up on the trash that keeps being put out today. Even Puff Daddy's "Come With Me" is trash, and that's back from the late 90s, so not necessarily "new". The only good thing about "Come With Me" is that P Diddler sampled this great tune, but if I want to hear that, I'll simply listen to the original instead of some man loving wannabe tough guy rhyming over the top of it.
@@elfdogre2181 dude, you said 30 years ago is not necessarily new, do you have dementia? I have a playlist of about 50 great tracks from this year so far, you are just closed minded and even closed to the obvious fact that you're closed minded. Just stop talking about new music, you are completely ignorant of it.
Awesome that you caught John Bonham’s doubles on the kick drum to stutter the beat and rewound that part to pay homage. 🤘😎🤘🥁He was a major influence on me as a young drummer 40 years ago. Damn I’m old! Still playing, though. 😂
The thing with zeppelin is they were ALL incredible musicians. They have no stand out member. They were all top 3 ever at what they did. Nobody else gets close for that consistent epic quality. And the chemistry they had together was unmatched. Live the improvised ALOT and it was just mindblowing
LOVE that you feel this one! Born in 67; Mom had this album; I have truly been listening to this song my entire life; one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs; the steady pounding of the drums is perfection! Always torn between “Kashmir” or “When The Levee Breaks” as to which is my favorite 🔥
This is the song all 4 band members were most proud of. This is about Plant & Page driving across the Sahara Desert, on their way to a music festival. Robert Plant with his beautiful masterpiece lyrics, he fell in love with Morocco, he still visits there often. John (Bonzo) Bonham, the greatest drummer ever, I suggest watching live the 20 minute solo called Moby Dick. Thanks for your reaction.
They did EVERYTHING fabulously!! This live 1979 at knebworth is MAGNIFICENT! Yes Diddy sampled this and Jimmy Page played guitar for him! If you watch the Come With Me Video you will see jimmy playing guitar on it.
Drums. Yes. Vocals. Yes. Guitars. Yes. Words. Yes, All the other instruments and how and when they hit. Yes. The whole picture and each piece heard distinctly. That is how I hear music. I am of the Zeppelin era. Saw them three times in concert. They are unique in all of rock and roll, unique in heavy metal, unique in delivery and vision. Unique in concert. One of a kind. No one else comes close. There are plenty of good and super good, but no other Zeppelin.
Correct me if I am wrong but JPJ I believe was playing the mellotron a unique keyboard instrument which had a number of audio tapes producing different sounding instruments connected to each key .JPJ is definitely a musical wizard and the quiet achiever of L Zeppelin.
John Bonham was the drummer… 🥁 he died in 1980 But his kick drum was 24x16” which was known to be the biggest for rock music at the time. He was a big influence into Alex Van Halen’s playing
You catching all the key moments shows how closely you're listening to this masterpiece. The stuttering drums, rhythmic changeups, the drums overall, Plant's soaring vocals. There really was no other band out there like Zeppelin. That's why their total album sales are only behind a few of the greats like The Beatles, Elvis, and Michael Jackson. The bestselling rock band of all time. No band wrote with greater diversity, creativity, and skill. Four genius musicians/songwriters / improvisationists hard at work.
I think part of the reason your recognizing the genius of this track is that your listening to a studio recording. I noticed you didn't do that with Stairway to Heaven, having only listened to a live version and, then a cover live version, lol. I would definitely go back and listen to the original studio recording, which, like Kashmir, is a masterpiece and one of the greatest achievements in audio recording history. With Led Zeppelin, I would stick with the original studio tracks, produced by Jimmy Page, the band's guitarist and founder, who is also one of the greatest music producers who ever lived. If you stick with the original studio recordings, you definitely won't regret it. And for a recommendation, I suggest reacting to the original studio recording of the Led Zeppelin song "Since I've Been Loving You". I guarantee, it will touch your soul. Peace
Zep never had a bad song, ever. Some were good, many were great, most were incredible, and then you have these epic, opus masterpieces, sometimes popping up multiple times on one album. Start to finish, 1969-1982, listen to all their albums in order, so you don't miss any of the outrageous genius therein.
Sometimes I do t listen to the words and concentrate more on the instruments. Led Zeppelin was way ahead of their time. One of the best rock groups ever.
Magnify another swell reaction. That hook is unreal, no? The whole Physical Graffiti album deserves a reaction. One banger after another, with great flow…EPIC!
Led Zeppelin made the best music ever (in my opinion) from 1968 thru 1980. Sadly, the drummer John Bonham passed away in 1980. The remaining 3 members knew that you couldn't replace any 1 member and go on. The original 4 had the perfect chemistry together and decided to shut it down. Great reaction!!
I can't remember if you did the Tool cover of led zeppelin song "no quarter" you should hear both for a great reaction of varying both side by side... also my favorite fluff daddy was wit "Nas Hate me now"
To me it's the blend of everything that makes it one of the greatest, if not the greatest composition ever, Zeppelin at their finest, in fact the entire album is superb
Bonzo has such a dominant sound. And believe it or not, they would pull this epic off live, simply with the four piece. Jones had all this amazing/dynamic sound packed into his synth…So good.
It's the drums, the vocals, the lead guitar, bass and mellotron - they're all outstanding. Next, check out Led Zep's Since I've been loving you. It will freak you out!
There are three fantastic live versions of this. Led Zeppelin at Knebworth '79, Page & Plant from the No Quarter: Unledded, and the Led Zeppelin reunion concert Celebration Day.
It's not cool when a generation of younger rap fans think their idols created this stuff and find out later it was just stolen from rockers (yeah, call it sampling all you like, it's still unoriginal and lazy).
Bonham was an incredible drummer and a close friend of the other members. So much so that when he died, they dissolved the band rather than continuing to record without him.
This is & has been my favorite Zepplin song for decades. Some folks like Stairway, but this is the one for me. it never fails to transport me to an ancient Bedouin camel caravan at an oasis.
I renember this in Knebworth '79.Just gor back from N.Africa where i visited the Desert. Underneath the sky looking at the stars it was like being in the two places at once. I was in tears.Thnx.💌🙏🏴
This is my all time favorite song ever! I love Led Zeppelin and grew up listening to their tunes. It will be worth your time to check out Kashmir from the Celebration Day Tour with Jason Bonham who is John Bonham's son. This song is timeless! Thanks for a great reaction!!
The live version from Celebration Day is magnificent ❤🎼❤️All 4 of these humans - this band……on my Mt. Rushmore of Rock n Roll. You’ll see….go back to album one- pick any song and sit back. Rest in peace- John Bonham, one of the greatest rock drummers ever.❤️
I like hearing/watching videos/bootlegs of this song because Bonham is different every day and he goes BONKERS live; I'm also impressed that the band know his style and get the first beat of every beat each time
The Judgment Night soundtrack was the first fill album of its kind with rock and hiphop artists duetting. Of course the first instance was RunDMC and Aerosmith in the 80s
For me, it's impossible to listen to Zeppelin without noticing the drums. Bonham is the driving force in every Zeppelin tune.
Yes totally impossible to listen to Zeppelin without focusing on the drums.
Dyer maker, then Dazed and Confused.
Amen
Yes he's is and always be the best Where's somebody saw them with 6970 Fillmore? East New York. They opened up for iron Butterfly.
Bonham's not the driving force in, *"Going To California".*
(The song had no drums.)
That orchestra you’re hearing is John Paul Jones on the melatron he’s a wizard.
I just read that it was an orchestra of strings and horns.
Where did you read that?
Chat GPT claims they used overdubbing techniques and John-Paul Jones' talents on keyboard

When Diddy did this song, JIMMY PAGE [Led Zeppelin's lead guitarist] played on it! That's probably why Diddy was allowed to sample the entire song.
This song proves Bonham had perfect timing
Kashmir is not a song. It’s a life changing experience. Absolute masterpiece
I was incognito many a times listening to this track 😉
In my humble opinion, the drummer for Led Zeppelin, John Bonham, is the greatest rock drummer of them all. He drives the entire band, and his technique and power is unmatched. And no drummer played the bass drum - or kick drum - like Bonham.

When you have a drummer like that his death is enough to make you call it quits. I was 16 when he died. Nobody questioned their decision. RIP, John.
No Orchestra, just the four rock gods doing what they do
It was the drums, the bass and keyboard player the guitar and the vocals. It's the total package
Now immediately watch their Celebration Day live version of this song.
YES!!! I second this request!!❤
I third it!
Make it 4...
1979 at knebworth
Agreed 79 Knebworth
I think you would absolutely love “when the levee breaks” led zeppelin. The drums are out of this world amazing

"When the Levee Breaks" is one of the most famous drum samples of all time. Definitely worth a reaction.
And I just learned a yer ago the when the levee breaks is actually a cover from the 1920's
"As the dust that floats high in June
We're moving through Kashmir"
One vocalist one guitarist one drummer and one genius doing everything else
Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin's founder and guitarist worked with P. Diddy on "Come With Me" so it was actually a reworked version not a sample.
With Tom Morello on bass.
BEST BAND OF ALL TIME!! THEY GRACED US WITH THEIR MUSIC FOR A SOLID 10 YEARS! LONG LIVE THE LEGENDS OF ROCK AND ROLL.
notice that the Bonham is in 4/4 and Page is in 3/4....phenomenal

26X14

Physical Graffiti is the album I would take to the deserted island… and F Diddy.
WORD.
The UK, without a doubt, has produced the greatest rock bands in the world. Led Zep wrote nothing but masterpieces.
Do yourself a favor and watch the 1979 Knebworth live version of this song and you will see this drummer in action. Pure power in motion.

AEROSMITH & RUN DMC with " WALK THIS WAY " was the first collaboration that kick started it all, anthrax and Public Enemy did one together too
You'd love in my time of dying. It's a huge blues track and Bonham is a total MONSTER on it!!
YES!
Thank you. Absolutely the best reaction yet. A real appreciation as to how great LED Zeppelin actually were.
Bonzo is the Best Drummer ever ❤
There more where that came from. If you like the drums on that, check out their song “When the Levee Breaks”.

The "delayed timing" thing on the drum kick at ~4:45 were ghosts and triplets.
You need to watch this live. It get so wild.
The song mimics the stride and swaying motion of a Camel. Once you know that, the song is even more impressive.
What you're missing.....on that kick-drum he's doing mostly two throughout not one on that main beat. It's killer Nobody had swagger like Bonham..
Zeppelin songs have been sampled by others hundreds of times and you'll never know it unless you listen to the real thing
Rush,Van Halen, Led Zeppelin. Examples of musical geniuses that molded together
They did use a full orchestra. His name is John Paul jones
There are three fantastic live versions of this. Led Zeppelin at Knebworth '79, Page & Plant from the No Quarter: Unledded, and the Led Zeppelin reunion concert Celebration Day.
Kashmir comes at you in so many layers

The Judgment Night soundtrack was the first fill album of its kind with rock and hiphop artists duetting. Of course the first instance was RunDMC and Aerosmith in the 80s
So how they got the drum sound is from recording in a giant mansion hall so when you see the hall setting on your radio that's where it came from.
Listen to Kashmir Live from Celebration Day 2007. They are in their 60's and they are so freaking good. You can thank me later. Lol.
Oh yeah, the drums for me too. Great reaction!
That' "orchestra" is music genius and virtuoso John Paul Jones aka JPJ
It's the guitar you hear because he playing with an archet, the bow you use to play the violin...exploring new ways to make music
I saw Page and Plant in the 90s and they had an Indian band with them when they performed this song.
Best Rock Band ever
The strings and brass are John Paul jones on the Mellotron, an early analog synthesizer.
I can just imagine the fighter or some athlete entering the ring/arena playing this beat. Hype song
