You guys are old farts... Class of 80' here ✌️😁 The 70s... what a magic time Rock-on guys, here are a few albums for you... Led Zeppelin lV Rush 2112 David Live (Bowie) Frampton Comes Alive KISS ALIVE Boston Sunburst Finish (Be Bop Deluxe) Double Live Gonzo (Ted Nugent) Tubes World Tour
Everybody has that music, and also ALL the other music, if you don't pay attention to some music because of when it came out you're really not a music fan at all
There's no auto tune in the back lol this is pure real music! The only thing is a little effects like drum phaser and echo that's all no cheating or lip syncing like today's music! All 100 percent real live!
That middle eastern sound comes from the harmonic minor mode they were using . All of this live without auto tune, without soundtrack and lip sync, all without a safety net. True talent stands the test of time.
They were definitely different than the other musicians of their time. They did not play games ! They went out there and played the shows and songs like it was the last day of their lives. Led Zeppelin left it all out on the stage. They were effing amazing. ❤
Nice pick for your first Zepplin song- one of the most iconic songs from one of the most iconic, legendary and influential rock/metal/blues bands in the history of Rock. They are legendary for a reason.
John Paul Jones is Zeppelin's true treasure!! This particular track, Jones is playing bass pedals with his feet while playing that Yamaha GX-1 synthesizer ( 3 keyboards) truly amazing musician!!
I was a teen in mid 70s and had Led Zeppelin's albums. I would listen to them all the time. I loved this group and their music. this song I would listen to on my headphones and let it take me to lands or universes far away. It just had this power for a teenager in a small city in Illinois to feel I could travel to many places on this song. But, much of their music spoke to me. I just felt it in my bones like no one else could do. They were just a powerful, musically gifted band.
One of the good things about being my age - I was at that concert. Still the best rock band by some distance. So pleased that this is being heard all over again.
The 60’s and 70’s had the most creative music. I grew up with it. All over the board. People with talent and born with skills. 50 years later, or more, we are still inspired by it. This music will span generations. That tells you something doesn’t it. Thank you for inspiring more generations to OG’s of rock :)
You guys should watch the version "Live from Celebration Day" They are much older, same song, unfortunately the original drummer passed away, but his son is playing the drums on this video. It is awe inspiring.
I graduated in 1979 also. My graduation gift was tickets to see Led Zepplin and a trip when they came to my area but unfortunately I never got the chance
Just found your channel, love your reaction! 1979 is near the end of Led Zeppelin‘s career, you MUST listen to Whole Lotta Love from 1969, ten years earlier, the beginning of their career. Their music evolved tremendously and I think you will be shocked in a great way, please make sure you listen to the studio version, official video of Whole Lotta Love! Can’t wait to see that reaction someday. 😊
the story most zeppelin fans have told me is that while travelling on the deserted road of morocco he(plant) was thinking about a place that trancends space n time i.e kashmir.
I spent time with my 4 year old granson the other day...he was wearing a LZ tee shirt! My son introduced him to Led. First thing out my mouth was,"Led Zeppelin, the greatest rock band ever....my favorite song is Kashmir!" I played Kashmir for him while in the car! I'm now 77...what a great way to pass on my passion of 50 years...through my son and he to his son! Really fun watching you guys!
@@durv13 yup, the story most zeppelin fans have told me is that while travelling on the deserted road of morocco he(plant) was thinking about a place that trancends space n time i.e kashmir
Probably their best song, at least in my book. Even Robert Plant lists it as one of his favorites. I bought this album back in high school in 1975, sadly I never managed to see them in concert before the called it quits in 1980. I highly recommend checking out their live performance from 2007 at the O2 arena 32 years after releasing this song. The drummers son fills in on drums for his late father.
hi guys loving your reaction to the greatest rock band ever to grace this earth it’s so good to see the young people of today enjoying this timeless masterpiece. Please please please do your selves a favour and delve deeper into the catalogue especially the live performances at msg or Earl’s Court much love to you both from the uk 👍
All Zepplin tunes are better listening to studio version first then live. Most of the time like performances they were all drunk and high. My favorite whole Lotta love,
Glad I jumped in. I was a freshman in high school in 79, and I loved that song as a kid. Physical Graffiti was my favorite Led Zeppline album. I would go in my room put on my head phones with Kashmir and do my art work. Holds up nicely. You guys are fun and beautiful reactors! Much love from California.
The reason this song is so incredible is the timing of the guitar, Bass, and keyboards do not sync witht he drums. Bonham is playing 3 beats to Page playing on 4 beats. Very hard to do. It gives you that feeling like leaning back in a chair and you start to fall back but catch yourself at the last second.....
I am 67 years old and happy that you chose to listen to Led Zeppelin. Many people will have you listen to all the popular songs of Led Zeppelin but you really ought to start with Led Zeppelin 1 and continue through their catalog to the last LP. This way you can hear how they grew musically through the years. Also if you choose to do the Live versions at least (Please! Please!) listen to the studio version of ( Stairway to Heaven, Whole Lotta Love and Battle of Evermore) first then continue with the Live concerts. Mainly because the live versions Led Zeppelin never played the same way and the (sound quality) is better in the studio. Thank You!!!
Yes Carol you’re right. Kashmir is the land on the northwestern side of India also connected to Pakistan, which both countries have been fighting to take control from the other forever. The inspiration and use of the Arabic Scale in the music’s progression came from Jimmy and Robert’s travels to Morocco. (Which they loved) The lyrics are a remarkable piece of storytelling from Robert. One part that stands out for this American living along the U.S. Gulf Coast is the line, “The sands that fly so high in June.” The Saharan sands cross the Atlantic Ocean each yr during hurricane season, dumping much of it on those States along The Gulf of Mexico. First time I read these lyrics back in the day I remember thinking to myself, this Robert Plant guy knows his shit! Funny, after all these years, he really does… 👈😉
the duo did come to india 4 times but only stayed in mumbai (then called bombay ) in 72. they recorded a few tracks there with artist like ravi shankar & the tapes of those sessions were released in 2015 called deluxe reissue of coda. Kashmir was written in 73, so u tell me what was d inspiration. morocco or india?
great reaction.....the band was basically hanging by a thread by this time.....but they still managed a great performance here. IMO this song was the highlight of this show!
The name Cashmere came as they were discussing a mythical far away place. The lyrics were actually about a trip that the singer and the guitarist took through morocco in a land rover for an interesting adventure. I’m sure you noticed, especially in the ending stanza where each ascending riff ended bubbling over in a volcano of drums. As you go through your Led Zeppelin experience you’ll note how astonishing he was as a drummer. He died a little more than a year after they made this video. the bass player/keyboard player is one of the most amazing musicians in music history. In terms of what they look like, I’m sure you’ll discover everything from an appearance just after New Year’s Day 1970 with an entire concert available and all the way through. You will have an amazing adventure rolling into this band
My favorite Led Zeppelin song is usually the last one I listened too. Still, check out Stairway to Heaven, When the Levee Breaks, Whole Lotta Love or anything really. It doesn’t get any better than this.
This is what I consider their second greatest song. The first is "Stairway to Heaven". If you listen to it try the 1973 MSG concert version Jimmy Page does an epic 3-4 minutes minute guitar solo.
we never miss with led zeppelin, they are LEGEND! oh men I would love to see your take on the latest Harry Mack Omegle bar 85, the last segment that was genuinely out of this world and probably his best one yet :)
GOATS of R&R - If you like the middle-eastern vibes on this you NEED to hear them when Page/Plant made an album together and redid 5 songs with Egyptian band as well as an orchestra. It's amazing. I recommend Irvine Meadows Amphitheater - Kashmir. Audio is great and IMO despite missing JPJ and Bonham RIP it's Page and Plant at their peak.
Nice reaction guys. It is always best to listen to studio versions of their songs. Led Zeppelin were masters in the studio first and foremost. The live versions are experimental and amazing but the studio versions are the foundation of the idea and capture the essence of the song.
Although the track is suffused with 'Middle Eastern' rhythms, played by John - Paul Jones, originally on a mellotron, & here on the Yamaha GX-1, and named 'Kashmir', this track was actually written on a road trip through the Sahara, on the way to a music festival in, if I remember correctly Timbuktu.
Plant & Page drove through the Sahara Desert, on their way to a music festival. They enjoyed meeting the people, who seemed from another time. Though neither could speak the same language, the music connected them, Plant fell in love with Morocco & still goes there often. He wrote the lyrics about his journey visiting the area, wanting to share what he loves about it. Actually after the band split up, & him & Page worked together again, they got Eastern musicians to play & tour with them.
I'd love to know why they named it Kashmir, which isn't in the Middle East (aka Southwest Asia) or North Africa. BTW fun fact, Morocco is located west of most of Europe. Its southernmost part aligns roughly with the eastern shore of Iceland. Longitudinally speaking.
@@Historian212 plant stated it wasn’t about the place, but a state of mind & their adventure, the road they traveled seemed never ending. The music was something Page was playing around with for awhile, one late night at Headley Grange, Page & Bonham got most of it figured out. It still took awhile to get the music the way they wanted, & JPJ’s arrangement. Plant was having some trouble writing it, because of the time signatures, & knowing the music was so great. Maybe too Kashmir just flowed better then Morocco, because none of them had ever been to Kashmir. What ever the reason, it’s a beautiful song, musically & vocally & one the band is most proud of.

@@mogheanil do some research, Plant & Page did drive through the desert to Morocco, none of the band members had been to Kashmir. Listen to the words of the song, or read or look up the video interview about their trip through the desert. Plant fell in love with Morocco, & he still visits as often as he can. Yes I do know there’s later video of them playing music with people from the area. Musicians from there were also on tour, with Page & Plant in the 90’s.
@@sicotshit7068 i have done enough research to know that plant was dreaming about the mystical magical place called kashmir. Of course he didnt go to kashmir which is why he was dreaming about it even when on moroccon roads cos kashmir is beautiful, lakes between valleys its otherworldly. Iam not denying that he loved morocco, just saying that if i m in the UK and dreaming of paris, i rate paris higher than UK innit. Most musicians went to morocco cos getting the drugs was easy there. Plants wife has indian connection and his mother was romani (indian gypsy)
Led zeppelin is the greatest rock band in history. You should really dig into their music... they legit have like 50 amazing songs. Oh and please try to do studio versions before live versions. Studio is how the band wanted the song to be heard, and it makes you appreciate the live later.
If you guys want more Zeppelin drama and charisma (especially from lead singer Robert Plant) check out the vid for "In My Time of Dying" from 1975 (I suggest the one that says "Mohthership."). And since y'all love to dance along, Zeppelin's "Trampled Underfoot" will get yer bodies movin'! (Live version from 1975 also is great)
P-Diddy did a remix using this guitar line which was used in a Godzilla film in the late 90's or early 2000's! I learned to play the drums & guitar (self taught)from this album when it first came out, along with Rush, Queen, and many other bands! I was lucky enough to see them in concert in the 70's!
When they made this concert Robert is so serious cause his littlen son, Karac Pendradon, had been died in 1977 ( this concert wass in 1979) Jimy wass very intoxicated cause drogues...,and Bonzo wass near to pass away, few months later. Still is impresionant how they play. Aquiles Last Stand, from this concert is amazing.
Puff Daddy/P-Diddy sampled the riff in a song (Come with me) in 1997, it's quite possible that you know it from that song and never heard the original. For me at least this was the first time hearing it, not knowing that it came from such a great song from one of the biggest rock bands of all times... 🙃
You guys don't know the number of led zeppelin fans out there. Multitude. All over the world. We, the older generation were truly blessed to be in existence at the right time. Which you guys, the younger generation unfortunately will never experience. But don't fret. Because there are a lot of people, kind enough to share via RU-vid these old videos, live performances of the band. We love to see young people's reaction to led zeppelin😊❤
They got the idea and feelings from Jimmy & Robert's trip to Morocco, thru the desert to the mountains of Atlas. Also meet Berbers and got on well with them. And ending in Marrakech. I have no idea how they came to use the name Kashmir other than the well known spiritual and mysteries of Kashmir made it a more well known connect.
Really wish you guys would do the studio version of the song with lyrics. The lyrics just take you away on the journey he's going through. And the studio version is truly the best. You miss so much in the live versions, I don't understand why so many people recommend them. Kashmir is a powerful song and so much of that is barley detectable in the live version. I think the live versions are for people who want to see the band perform more than listen to the music itself.
