That track is, in my humble opinion, their masterwork.
It's good, but Achilles last stand is the master work.
1 of many
Can’t say no, but can’t say yes. So many great songs. ✌️
They were certainly very good…lol…understatement.
You need to see them do this live at Celebration Day, when they were in their 60s. Proof that old rockers never lose their power.
In my opinion, it's actually the best live version they do of this song.
The whole concert is well worth the 2 hours for damn sure
Yes. Especially Plant in 2007 sang it way better than live in 75. ( I saw them then). So yeah Silas check out Led Zeppelin “ Celebration Day” concert from 2007, recorded 33 years after “ Kashmir “( 1974-released 1975).
@@boki1693 the correct DNA still held magic / did Dad proud!
Live in 1979 at Knebworth!!
We had it all ! The best music , coolest clothes , baddest cars .
Baddest Cars . . . . Yes - Ratfink inspired many including the recent Mad Max: Fury Road.
Amen! Brother!
Yup, and we hadn't yet started hating ourselves yet.
Amen.
Love watching you guys! Kashmir has always been my favorite Zep song. I still get blown away by Robert's voice in the song and the lyrics.
Mine too!! Since 1975!!!!
This is widely considered one of the 5 greatest rock songs of all time. This requires multiple listens to fully appreciate and yes. M&M and many others have sampled this.
- or - have been heavily influenced by it - czcams.com/video/hj5I3TIeRPM/video.html
And they would call Zeppelin thieves...
Well, actually Eminem sampled Aerosmith's song Dream on for his song Sing For The Moment for his album The Eminem Show. But, one example of Kashmir being sampled was for the 1998 Godzilla Movie Soundtrack, the song was called Come With Me by Puff Daddy.
I almost never recommend live versions before studio versions of a song just so you can hear it clean and without embellishments first. This is one of those songs that the live at knebworth and the celebration day versions are simply amazing to watch. This much sound from 4 musicians. Epic riff, epic JPJ, epic drums and epic vocals with epic lyrics. Live is amazing. Good react.
There is no exist other word than EPIC. Epic song, epic one of then.
Has to be the Celebration Day version....brilliant!
The Knebworth version is simply Epic
HUH? I would always and forever pick a live version over a recorded studio version. one of the many gifts of Zep is watching them live, watching gorgeous Jimmy Page play while he's dancin' all over the stage...their intrinsic interactions. who cares if it's with or without embellishments, SMH. I mean, who goes to youtube to watch, basically nothing when there's tons of LIVE Led Zeppelin and it's magical.
And this was a ‘remastered’ version, which is never how it was originally intended. 🤨
Your initial reaction was shared by many when this song was first released, it was so different from what fans expected! But that diversity and blending of styles and genres was a hallmark of LZ. It's what raises them to a level achieved by few other bands! Kashmir was one of the very few LZ songs to use outside musicians -- Orchestral brass and strings -- along with the electric guitars and Mellotron. The lyrics were inspired by a road trip Page and Plant took to a music festival in Morocco. The eastern influence is strong in this song, and became something Robert Plant continued to follow throughout much of his post-Zepp career.
Don't forget the heavy bombardment of radio play
96 Rock in Atlanta used to play new albums at midnight on Monday nights. I put my headphones on plugged in my 8-track tape and pressed record then fell asleep. The next day at school people asked me what the new Zeppelin album sounded like and I said it sounded like middle eastern music. They all thought I was joking. No really it sounds like middle eastern music! Yeah right dude.
every song of Zep's is different...
Sorry, NO.
No One’s first reaction was…. ‘Uh, I like the musicality in it.. BUT… (8 minutes)?’
@Debby Stasinopoulou - Funny, I never knew of the Morcocco trip, but from the 1st time I heard this song, all I could think of was Morocco.
The background sound that you hear were played on a Mellotron. It was a keyboard instrument where the keys activated tape loops A lot of groups in the 60s and 70s used it. Kind of a precursor to the synthesizer.
@@marcelliott1111 King Crimson is my favorite band
They were actually tape strips with a spring return mechanism but same principle.
@@marcelliott1111 King Crimson did Epitaph when I saw them in 2019. That show was like a religious experience.
Absolutely! The Mellotron is unmistakable.
@@marcelliott1111 used by most Prog rock bands. Pink Floyd used it a lot as well. Curved Air used it a lot...as well as Genesis....etc.
Song STILL gives me the chills,,,,45 years and counting. 💥💥💥👍😎
Hi guys
So the inspiration for the song came from a visit to Morocco that Page and Plant took together.
The tune comes from a song that Page was working on (it’s title was called Swan Song and there are pieces of it on CZcams but it was never officially released) but basically Page played a tape of the demo to Bonham and he started humming the melody and playing the drums to it.
The trumpet sound is John Paul Jones on the Mellotron and keyboards.
This is Robert Plant’s favourite Led Zeppelin song and it’s just awesome.
Forgot the live version from Celebration Day, watch the original line up performing it in 1979 at Knebworth in front of 200,000 people - what a live gig and an incredible performance of this song
Great reaction as ever you guys and Alivia, it’s never too early to change your mind about a Zeppelin song haha
thank you....
Forget about all the other live versions, the one you need to see live is the No Quarter- Page Plant Unledded version....regretfully it is only Page and Plant but they took Kashmir to another level...featuring a Moroccan string band and Egyptian orchestra it is something to hear.
Or Plant and Page reviving Babe I'm Gonna Leave You at the Amnesty International Concert in 1998, is has by far one of Page's best solos, so good Robert Plant is caught gazing at him in wonder! 🎸
This almost puts you in a trance. When I first heard this as a kid in the 70's from my friend's older brother's record player it blew me away.
The cool thing about this song in terms of structure is that in the verse section the drums are playing in a straight 4/4 pattern, but the melody is phrased in 3 so that you can think of this section being in 12/4 because the melody resolves and repeats after every 3rd bar of the 4/4 drum pattern; 3 times 4 is 12 and reflexively 4 times 3 is 12. It then switches so that everything is being phrased in 4/4 with no one being the wiser because the drums maintain the same pattern throughout. Only the melodic phrasing changes. They do this same kind of tricky phrasing over a straight 4/4 drum pattern in other songs such as Black Dog. It’s part of what makes their music so sophisticated. It’s okay though, only obsessive music nerds worry about these things Lol.
Also he changes over to fast triplets on those fills, whereas he had been playing straight eighth note fills prior to that.
I came here to say this. Led Zeppelin was this way so much. It was very rare for them to use a true uneven prog meter like 5 or 7 etc, although they did occasionally and I love it. But they were just Geniuses at working those sixes against straight patterns. I love how Bonham just keeps it so simple and holding down that four so that everybody else has the freedom to create this mysterious Sonic universe that is so tangible and you could drift away in it and you sense centuries and Millennia of history, so forth. It's amazing. But then of course he works in those fills and as always, his Kick Drum just blows me away, even when he's doing something that sounds simple.
You might really like some Steven Reich stuff, it's phased melodies and riffs galore.
@@stevedahlberg8680 Great articulation, bravo good sir! ✌
I was 17 years old when Led Zeppelin one dropped. Still my favorite album still my favorite band
Me too! I graduated in 1970. Led Zeppelin was my first concert and first acid trip!🤯 What a great time to be young and crazy!🤪💯😁❤️✌️
@@tomaleshire4145 lol that had to be the trip of a life time.
@@kevinsattler6603 I wish I could remember.......🤯🤪🤭😂✌️
Thought we had our first, “naw, no thanks” reaction. But, then it was retracted. It’s ok not to love every song on every album. I think you’re core followers have a fairly high music IQ. They would understand.
Certainly fine for a song to win you over also! 👊
Anyway--I like this one! 💥
I agree with Dan, must watch the Celebration Day Live Concert version of this song 30 years later.
My favorite ❤ tune of the album!, great job Olivia!, love your honesty. I'm not so sure? 🤔 but I think the wind instrument could be a trombone?. 🎺 Led Zeppelin has a knack for writing very unique rock classics, this is definitely one of them. Thank you! Peace! ☮
My favorite also
The horn and string arrangements were done by using a melotron. John Paul Jones said it used to frustrate him to use it in the studio, because it would sometimes change from a string synth to organ or horns without command, but that for some reason it magically worked on stage when they played it live.
Back in the day, listening to albums was what we did with our free time. Long songs were not a problem and were usually welcomed....especially if we were stoned.
This was an entirely new sound then. It creased many a brow at first, but it grows on you and soon becomes a favorite. The lyrics go beautifully with the music. It's a journey. He's trying to get back to a mythical place (or is it?). He was there once. He may never find it again. He invites you to go with.
What a contrast. Silas has no clue what to do with energy that's building in him and Alivia goes right into funky groove mode. I love it.
This is one of Led Zeppelin's favorite Led Zeppelin songs 🔥
It's gr8 to see u guys digging the music of my youth!!!
I love how they both freak out on the "Trying to find where ive beeeeeeeen" part, that goes back into the main riff. Its probably the coolest thing that Zeppelin ever did. I still freak out to this part over 40 years later.
Zeppelin played this live many times and each version has it's own charms, this to me is the quintessential Zep track..
I was 14 when Physical Graffiti came out which was introduction the the brilliant music of Led Zeppelin. I am now nearly 62and still adore this song .R.I.P. Bonzo, you are the master!
Absolutely!, I was 15 when it came out, I recorded the entire album off FM radio, static free of course, onto a cassette tape. The previous Christmas I received a Sharp stereo, receiver, turntable double cassette recorder with two Advent kickin speakers to boot. Sounded awesome!
I too am nearly 62 and still love Zep. The greatest rock group at all time!
I was 20 years old when that song came out and Silas' expressions are pretty much how I reacted while listening and all these years later I still react the same way. I'm so glad you two show genuine appreciation for the incredible music of our generation decades ago.
What a song, my friends! What a song!!! I never get tired of listening Kashmir.
I've always found this song to be.. uh. Hypnotic. That would be my best description.
I want to thank you for listening to music of my generation and for putting it out on a platform where thousands of others from your generation can hear it. I have a noticed a trend of this happening a lot on You tube. The 60's and 70's in my opinion were the best of times when it comes to music. So much talent not afraid to experiment and having so much to say. Keep it up and work on that Gen Z attention span. Peace!
I've seen this before. As soon as Alivia said that she didn't like the song (way too early to make a proper judgement, of course ; = ), I knew that she would change her mind. It's certainly an all-time classic and a top ten all-time Zep song. Slow to develop but as one listens more and more, it's greatness can't be denied, eh Alivia? Peace! ~
Check out the live Knebworth version of this. It's funny how Zeppelin had lawsuits against them for stealing riffs and songs, and yet rappers steal or borrow from them all the time! Cracks me up!
This song is one of my favorite song when I'm driving for some reason at night with the windows down on a open road. This just hits me different its a vibe that take you somewhere else.
Been listening to this for nearly 50 years. It just gets better and better every time I listen. Just an amazing composition. Bonzos drumming is just otherworldly.
I love how this song builds slowly to a climax, then just gets better and better as it fades, with John Bonham turning up the drums to a nine in the outro. And yes, there were horn an strings, as well as a melotron. Led Zeppelin were famous for doing crazy complex stuff with their music.
I was waiting for this one😀
That JPJ on the keyboard,this a an Arabic tuning with jimmy's guitar.
Robert Plant said that this song encapsulated everything that Led Zeppelin was about. This was his favorite LZ song. It’s in my top five faves. Keep up the great work!
Outside session people were brought in to do the strings and the horns. Robert plant said that he knew that this was not just a guitar and drums and in the background it sounds like an orchestra. It took them 3 years to finish the lyrics. Robert Plant and the band was driving through Morocco to a festival and that is what inspired the song.
P Diddy sampled this on his song COME WITH ME. Could sound familiar because of that? Love the silly intro’s. Keep up the great work, guys! You two work very good together. Once, Plant said that this was the one song that sum’s up Led Zeppelin if he had to choose out of their library.
Godzilla 1998
Jimmy Page plays guitar on this version and the bass was played by Tom Morello guitar player of rage against the machine.
Liking something instantly is not always the case but if you are drawn to it now , one day it will be another favourite .
It's designed to be repetitive and hypnotic, and it succeeds! I played this song in my head through all the marching in Navy Boot Camp in San Diego, with the outline the mountains in the distance. It helped me keep my sanity through all that monotony.
Sooo good! Man he can pound those drums. I would have loved to see them live.
Late save Alivia. This is Robert Plant's favourite Led Zeppelin song and is considered one of the greatest in the rock and roll pantheon as well as Zeppelin's best song.
This is maybe their second most popular song after Stairway. I myself think it's way better than Stairway. i think M&M sampled this. Also P Diddy did a version of this with Jimmy Page on the Godzilla Sound Track called "Come with me." I suspect many others have sampled this as well.
Rage Against the Machine used this riff (with minor changes) in the intro of the song "Wake Up" which is used in the final scene of the first Matrix movie. A lot of people make this reference right away.
Led is the most sampled band in the world
There is a reason this song has been my ring tone for at least a dozen years. I love this song and always will.
Greetings from Boston ! Love to see the younger generation getting into the music of my youth. If you haven’t heard Achilles Last Stand on the Presence album yet, buckle up …. It’s a journey ! ☘️✌️
Achilles Last Stand is my favorite Zeppelin song. It borders on Prog rock.
I've been listening to the mighty zeppelin since they were formed and it's impossible to pick a favorite, it's constantly changing
Physical Graffiti was a Double album.
Thank God none of this song was ✂️😄
Silas, you seemed to know this was great right away.
Olivia, I laughed when barely a minute in, you said that you didn't know if it was for you, and that much because Gen Z has the attention span of a flea😄
But here's the thing: Baby Boomers had the attention span of a flea too, initially, or at least record companies wanted us to think we did, until groups like The Beatles started recording 8 minute songs, like "Hey Jude" in 1968.
Their manager told John Lennon that the Beatles could never record a song that long. Lennon said: "They'll play the whole song on the radio, and people will buy it because it's us"💖 And so they did!
So by the time Led Zep recorded this song in 1975 lots of groups were doing it.
And, to your credit, Olivia, you stuck with the reaction until you found out what everyone knows: It's one of the all time great song! (Just like "Stairway To Heaven ", which Zeppelin recorded 4 years earlier 🎼).
Fantastic reaction! I LOVE your reactions together 💖
And Led rarely released singles.
Album rock.
Our local station, WQUT, would play whole album sides and sometimes the djs would forget cause they'd be outside burning one! You'd just hear the needle bumping against the lp label for 10 minutes.
On Saturdays, they'd do a 6 pack. 6 whole albums back to back...with, "Your Funky Ol Brother, Ross".
Ck out The Tennessee Midnight Rambler from WQUT...we'd listen to him every weekend in high school.
Bergeron was an awesome dj, too.
He was in my physics class at etsu. Older student. Heard this voice from the back of the class once, thought the radio was on!
Been waiting for this reaction!
I find the lyrics super intriguing. Stunning poetry of the advanced mind.🥰
As others have said Silas, you must, must hit the Live version of this from 2007's Celebration Day gig, it has John Bonham's son playing the drums, and I thinks help prove Jimmy Page is the coolest man on earth. You would not belive 3 old men and a middle aged guy on drums could rock your bones like these do. The whole concept was epic beyond belief.
The intro to this song was featured in the 1982 movie “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.” You may have heard it there.
If you want to see a hilarious Led Zeppelin cover, check out the video for “Immigrant Song” by Dred Zeppelin.
Yea but the album was suppose to be side 2 of LZ 4 because the guy told his friend it gets the girls every time but that is not the exact quote
@@VIDSTORAGE, That mistake was pretty obvious. I was in high school at the time and had all of Led Zeppelin’s albums. I have always wondered if Fast Times’ producers didn’t know their Zeppelin albums, or if the character didn’t know and just found a Zeppelin tape on short notice.
(Scene): mid-70s, driving to Hi-School in my new-bought used 1967 Impala fastback ($200) .. I have rigged 4 Bose book-shelf speakers to my 8-track --- BLASTING this tune on my way each morning that year!!! ... "MEMORIES!!"
General background - this song is about the book "Slaughterhouse Five" by Kurt Vonnegut. I put it at the top of Zeppelin's catalog, ahead of Stairway and Achilles. They did such a fantastic job with the orchestration and overall structure, and Plant really shines.
My second cassette ever back in 74/75 was LedZ. Physical Graffitti my first was Pink Floyd Wish u were here. Fun to see u youngsters listening to our music 🤗😎🇧🇻
1st time I got high, 1975, was to Welcome to the Machine. 8th grade.
Sinsemilla from idaho...in Tennessee! 8 inch bud...
Jedes Lied ist für mich ein wahres Kunstwerk!So wie DaVinci ein ein Meister seines Faches war, so ist es Led Zeppelin mit seiner Musik 🔥
No trumpet! You heard this from the movie Godzilla where P Diddy sang it to rap with Jimmy on guitar. Live it is KPJ on the Mellatron keys!
If you want to see drumming, check out their Knebworth version of this.
That wail in the middle section is a stand out vocal part, maybe of all time.
I really enjoy watching SILAS reacting to a song.
Back in the 70's in the early days of FM radio stations. They would play whole album sides at night mostly and Led Zeppelin was one of those. It was trippy
Again, love your honesty.
There were real horns and strings involved in this song.
From Wikipedia:
"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.[7][5] Session players were brought in for the string and horn sections for "Kashmir"[5] and Jones added a Mellotron.[8]"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashmir_(song)
I’m 65,but my mindset when I hear the my 1970s rock, it’s flat out the best decade in rock period!
Kashmir
It's just RELENTLESS.
It keeps coming at you until you are forced to like it.
My goodness guys you have just dipped your toes in vast ocean of 70s music. So jump in and soak up the wonderful music, and I promise you won't drown ❤🇬🇧😊😊😊
The thing with zep you love their music more each time you listen to it
They recorded that song with an entire symphony… But you really need to see the live version of that song when they did it in celebration… They are much older than they were when they recorded it but holy crap they kill it
It's not a trumpet. It's LZs "secret weapon" John Paul Jones and his incredible mastery of yet another instrument. I believe it is his mellotron. It's definitely keyboards which helps to make this song so Magical
FYI - No horns were directly used for the original. John Paul Jones used a Mellotron for a lot of Led Zeppelin’s recordings. Basically it is an early form of a sampler. A Mellotron is a keyboard instrument, that uses magnetic tape for it's sound bank. Each key has a magnetic tap head, and the tape uses prerecorded sounds like a horn section for example. Later, in live shows, they used difference synthesizers.
Stumbled on this Album in 76, was so blown away by what a huge band LZ must be, not popularity, but number of members, 10 12 members I figured. I didn’t know about simple studio tricks like overdubs. Yes this is the Albums signature tune, and proves that great music is in between the notes. my personal fave is Bron y aur, and Trampled under foot, and In the light, and boogie with Stu and .. lol wish you two could hold the actual album sleeve,
This is a MUST for live version..
Terrific commentary/thoughts you guys :) I have a lot of catchin up to do on your reactions.
Not no bloody horns dammit !🤣🤣🤣 The trumpet you hear is in the windmills of your mind!🤭🤣
It was used by Sean Combs in Godzilla soundtrack. Page performed it with him on SNL. Jazz greats Bradford and Winton Marsalis said Kashmir was only rock song played at home regularly.
This entire album is chock full of epic songs. We had heard this song many times but one night while partaking in some mood enhancing substances, we really heard it for the first time. We sat in stunned silence and listened to the greatness that is Kashmir.
Yup, an. Orchestral brass and strings with electric guitars and Mollotron MK . II. Beautiful!!, love the honest reactions... yes to horns. Many old time bands used orchestras when they have me huge over the years like Bee Gees, To Much Heaven etc...
This song came out when I was 17. Awesome 👍
At precisely 7:52 I blew up my car stereo speakers back in 1980! 😆
Masterpiece!
This kind of music is a trip. You have to go a wait for it ;)
Just like we heard it too , playing it out to the last note as it fades away , not wanting to miss a single drum beat , turning up the volume as it disappears into nothing
I'm so happy that you are LISTENING to the original version of most of these songs, instead of watching a video. You are experiencing these the same way we did when we first heard them.
you gotta hear it a few tunes with the words to get addicted to the song. Ii've heard this for years and still love it
A rapper [ Puff Daddy ? ] did a version of this song at the end of the movie Godzilla. The one with Matthew Broderick. Pretty darn good, I have to admit. Shook me at the theater when it blasted out as soon as the movie ended. Had to listen to the entire song.
Yes -- Google just informed me that it is Puff Daddy who made the song titled Come With Me, adapted from Kashmir. Jimmy Page did play on Puff's version.
I had a feeling Alivia would change her mind about this song as she heard more of it. It will almost undoubtedly grow even more on her as she does repeated listenings. If any band has songs that grow on you as time goes by, it is Led Zeppelin.
I always liked them. Was around when they began their journey. I now consider them to be in a league of their own. Up there with Pink Floyd, Yes, The Beatles, Eagles, Bad Company.
This was used in the 1st Godzilla movie, with Matthew Broderick, and this riff has been sampled dozens of times.
I bought this album, Physical Graffiti, back in high school in 1975.
This song became my favorite Zeppelin song.
Watch a live version of this, I recommend the one from '07. The first time they, minus John Bonham, played a full set in almost 30 years. Jason Bonham sat in on drums. You'll see that this is timeless.
It's OK if you don't like it hearing it the first time. A lot of songs are like that, you have to listen to it a number of times then you really love it, sometimes. After so many years it almost becomes a part of you. But yes, of course the live versions are usually phenomenal.
One of my favorite songs by Led Zeppelin, Soo many awesome tracks! It's so nice to see young people listening to legendary Led Zeppelin!! Pink Floyd is very awesome music also!! Love your reactions!! 😊💓🤘✌️
Excellent 🏆 !!
with exception of a few Pink Floyd songs, this track is one of the greatest rock songs ever created, and unlike a few other Led Zepplin greats, this one is not a cover or an alteration of an existing song. Seeing the live Celebration Day version is worth your time and effort, if not a totally new reaction from you both.
Totally agree! My favorite version of this song. Not only is it the best version, but the guys sound better than ever!
It was sampled by a rap artist. 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.
yeah this song has been sampled in all kinds of movies TV shows & commercials, no surprise it sounds familiar. i hope you get around to "in the light" another banger off this album. really enjoying your content, makes me miss being a teenager & discovering this music back in the day. My friends hippie mom got me into this.
They’re doing the whole album. Look back at his past vids. He’s done albums I-IV and Houses of Holy as well
Probably the best 8 and a half minutes ever recorded.
Honey! M&M wasn't even Thought of when this LP Dropped back in the Early 70's! And yes. This Studio Version of This Song was Recorded with the Help of the London Symphony orchestra! So they Had a Brass section. & A String Section! Now in Concert, it was just the 4 members with John Paul Jones on The Snyth. Keys! 🎹 Zeppelin Almost always Win you over! 😁
... it's such a soulful progressive steady rocker...with an essence of sorrow; it often makes me "tear up" for no reason.
(So jimmy uses a violin bow on this one?)
I hear a deeper horn in there like a trombone... but, now that you mention it, I never noticed those spots that sounded like there were horn arrangemenets!
This album is a banger start to finish. Listen to it with your eyes closed and let Plant take you on the Journey of both time and space. I get the image of old silk trade caravans traveling through the desert and on to Indian Kashmir and all the places he has seen on his travels.
in my time of dying live 1975 from the mothership dvd on youtube is great. as well as kashmir like 1979 at knebworth. by 1979 roberts voice has mellowed a lot
Songs like this built rather than dragged at the end. That’s what’s so good about them
