INCREDIBLE!! First Time Reaction to Led Zeppelin - "Kashmir" 

It’s great for us oldies to see young people discovering the brilliance of bands like Led Zeppelin that we grew up with.

John Paul Jones plays all keyboards, mandolin and bass guitar and he’s an original founding member. He was a studio session musician with Jimmy Page in their earlier years. Love your enthusiasm for Zeppelin !!!

This performance was epic. Kashmir is one of Led Zeppelin's greatest songs, and was inspired from a trip to Morocco. Some of the sounds you heard were Middle Eastern scales incorporated into the song. The keyboardist was John Paul Jones who was with Led Zeppelin from the beginning. He played a keyboard like instrument in Stairway to Heaven, and keyboards were used in many other Led Zeppelin songs. All the musicians in Led Zeppelin are some of the best in rock music. Great reaction, and if you do more Led Zeppelin, I would recommend Since I've Been Loving You live at MSG 1973, Black Dog live at MSG 1973, or a song off their first album called Babe I'm Gonna Leave You.

this drummer...is well known by all , as the greatest ever by the way.

Bonham inspired me to play drums. Great Zep tracks that Bonham stands out on are: When the Levee Breaks Achilles Last Stand Out on the Tiles All three incredible songs and many more

The band broke up after JB died. They just knew they could never find a replacement for him. Btw, you should listen to Dazed and Confused and When The Levee Breaks. Two very different sounds from Zep. One showcases the Bass guitar skills and the other is a fantastic harmonica and guitar composition.

Bonham was the greatest drummer ever!

The studio recording of this song is sublime.

Another great song is “When the Levee Breaks” also the live performance from Madison Square Garden 1973, “ Since I’ve Been Loving You”.

Bonham at work is mind blowing. Ioved the way he got your attention

For me the best thing about this performance is Jimmy Page with that vintage Danelectro guitar. The subdued but amazing riffs throughout. Letting massive chords ring into the arena.

The best way I can describe this song “hypnotic” or “mesmerizing”.

Both Robert Plant and Jimmy Page have stated in the past that they believe Kashmir to be their greatest creation. I would not disagree. It's a beautiful masterpiece. Also, Robert Plant has always used his voice like an instrument. While there's no harmonica playing in this, Robert Plant is phenomenal on the harmonica as well.

Great song, great reaction! Going to California is a nice one to follow up with; it’s another different style. John Paul Jones plays Bass, Keys and Mandolin so in this case he was on Keys. The song has lots of textures weaving around in it, it’s also got a bit of an eastern vibe about it. 🌹

Bonham is incredible on this. Also JPJ is keyboard/ bass/ mandolin from the start (he tended to stay off camera).

Stairway to heaven had the keys as well ; it’s the ethereal flute like melody The drummer is amazing as during zeppelin songs when the keys are being played you would swear there was also a bassist but that’s all Bonham carrying the rythym Also the drummer wrote the best of this song with all its bombacity When he died the band died forever

Wait till you react to Dazed and Confused, Live at Madison Square Garden in 1973 !!!

Listen to Kashmir live from Celebration Day, 2007. They are in their 60's and are still incredible.

14:54 - Correction - John IS the greatest drummer of all time 😅

LED Zeppelin FOREVER, FOREVER LED Zeppelin!!! Greatest band of all time. 🥁☮☘

your first mistake, turn Zep up!! the louder the better, This isnt justin beiber you listening to.

There were keyboards in Stairway. John Paul Jones (JPJ) is the fourth member of Zeppelin.no personnel changes ever in Zeppelin. The same four guys throughout, each immensely talented in their own way. JPJ played bass, mandolin, keyboards…….and if keyboards and bass were needed at the same time, he played the bass line with foot pedals. He was and is a top arranger, and is often called the glue that held everyone together. There were three pretty immense egos inZeppelin, whereas JPJ wanted to stay out of the limelight and did not seek exposure or fame. Some mistakenly think he was held back, but no….he wanted to maintain anonymity and be able to walk the streets in peace. Bonham followed Page intuitively during those long guitar solos, and JPJ stuck like glue to Bonham, providing the solid bass upon which everyone else could soar.

You want a long song dazed and confused live Madison Square garden newyork 1973 it's 28 minutes long

Dazed and Confused is another long journey that starts out very slow and bluesy, but will take you to many other places. All 90 or so of their songs are incredibly well crafted and produced, and there are transitions to almost completely different songs inside of every track. All four of them are virtuosos on their instruments. John Paul Jones, the bassist, also plays keyboards, and adds other sounds when needed. The greatest band of all time.

Sorry to all of you who disagree but the studio version of this song is exponentially better than the live version.

try "Dazed and Confused", taken from the Madison Square Garden '73 concert. it's around 26 minutes long and epic. also "Since I've Been Loving You" and "The Rain Song" from the same concert. or, for a short song, give "Immigrant Song" a blast. there are very few "bad" songs in Led Zep's discography. have fun.

I love your channel!! Can you react some songs from AC/DC, please! "It's a long way to the top", for example.

According to Zep lore, this song was inspired by a trip RP and JP took thru the Moroccan desert. John Paul Jones is playing the keys. He's one of those who plays all instruments at a high level. Legitimate genius. Quite a shy guy, so he doesn't get proper credit.

The bands, singers and artists that claimed to have been inspired by Led Zeppelin: 1) Aerosmith 2) Black Sabbath 3) Queen 4) White Stripes 5) Foo Fighters 6) Nirvana 7) Pearl Jam 8) Van Halen 9) Guns and Roses 10) Bon Jovi 11) Lenny Kravitz 12) Johnny Depp 13) Keifer Sutherland ... and many more 😊

John paul jones did play the organ in stairway too heaven live 1973 from the movie song remains the same

The four members of LZ never changed over the span of the bands career, until the untimely death of drummer John "Bonzo" Bohnam. John Paul Jones is on the keyboard and also played bass as well as being multi instrumental. And of course, Jimmy Page on guitar and Robert Plant as frontman vocals.

John paul jones been in the band since 1968 he plays piano 🎹 bass mandolin long bass guitar 3 neck electric acoustic guitar

John Paul Jones played keyboards and bass for Led Zeppelin throughout their run. He also played mandolin live, and would play bass with foot pedals when playing the keyboards on live perforances also.

11:16 All us old bastards who grew up with these legends from Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Doors, Jimi, Janis, Nazareth and later on Thin Lizzy - all of them faught for female rights, against war, against drugs (that sadly killed many of them) - these were true musicians, way ahead of their time and made the foundation for newer genres like metal and bands like Metallica, AC/DC, Gun's and Roses etc etc - and later on Symphonic Metal / Nightwish and Epica - bands us oldtimes love. Much of the music and lyrics are a lot deeper and meaningful, than just the lyrics read directly. There are deeper substances behind the lyrics - which you might have realized by now in both Led Zeppelin and Nightwish. I would like to point you into Deep Purple and their 'Sweet Child in time' it's legendary! You could also go fore Phil Lynott (from Thin Lizzy) and his tribute to Elvis - 'King's call' - with legendary Mark Knoffler on guitar, (Dire Straight). Gary Moore were childhood friend with Phil Lynott - Gary Moore - 'Still got the Blues' - legendary guitarist. Other Led Zeppelin - 'Immigrant Song' Nightwish - you are ready for some of the incredible masterpieces: 'The Greatest Show on Earth' - Tampere 2015 (Remember to stay on until the video is completely finished, because the speaking is an important part of the song. 'Dead Boy's Poem' from Buenos Aires 2018. 'The Poet and the Pendulum' - Wembley 2015 'Shoemaker' from Human Nature album 2019. 'How is the Heart' - Planet Rock Radio 2020 - only Troy and Floor in this incredible performance (Troy calls Floor's voice for Stratospheric - and that's pretty close to the reality)

My all time favorite Zeppelin song. From the first time I heard it 48 years ago. Robert Plant says he'd prefer the band be remembered more for this than "Stairway to Heaven". There's also an amazing version from 2006 with Jason Bonham on drums I think you'd enjoy. The keyboards you're hearing I believe is a Melotron, it was used on the album, John Paul Jones is playing the keys and several different sounds and instruments on it. He's also playing the bass guitar with his feet. He also played it on Stairway.

I was 14 years old and with my dad at a market in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We were posted there with the US embassy and it was the first month of us having arrived. I saw a Led Zeppelin greatest hits cd on a random shelf in the market and told my dad I wanted to check them out cause I’d heard a lot about them. He was pretty stoked as he had all of their original vinyls. He bought the cd and we listened to it in the car. I’m 33 now and they’ve been my favorite band ever since that day.

The polyrythm of 4/4 and 6/8 repeating in circles is hypnotic.

Rolling Stones, Sympathy for the devil, the lyrics are very interesting!

Kashmir, the song, just like the land it's named after, is beautiful and exotic. One of the most unique songs ever performed by any rock group, and my favorite LedZep song ever.

JPJ has played bass guitar and keyboards since the beginning. And as a musician including drums, there is no greater pleasure than watching Bonzo just totally go nuts. They have a ton of hits and such an astounding variety, you have no idea. They have an incredible variety just within given albums, and also within their final album before John Bonham died, In Through the Out Door, which contains several gems. Southbound Suarez is a personal favorite of mine from that album, but the next song on it, Fool in the Rain, is an absolute masterpiece and you've got Bonzo doing some really intricate difficult things. It's just fire all the way around and the story itself is quite clever.

Please try to reaction Led Zepplin Since i've been loving you or Going to California

Everything Led Zeppelin does is intense in some way.

So nice to follow your your trip to ecplore classical rock, Stacey. It's really good to see your reactions. You would enjoy Pink Floyd - Shine on your crazy diamond. And maybe Steppenwolf with - The magic carpet ride.

Bonzo❤

Their song 'Since I've Been Loving You' from The Song Remains the Same is an outstanding blues song that has one of Jimmy Page's best guitar solos.

Even if you don't react to it, have a listen to the 2007 Celebration Day live version of this song. I believe it was the only concert LZ performed after the death of Jon Bonham. I'd heard they only did it because Jons son Jason played the drums (rather well it must be said). The band sounded so good even after a lot of years had passed.

I saw an interview with John Bonham, and the interviewer asked that it must have taken years to get so good. John answered: no.

One of the reasons this song is so haunting is the vocals are based on a 6/8 time, and the drums and guitar play in a 4/4 time. They are only on the same beat once every few measures or so and the song always sounds like it's going to fall apart.

Perfect way to put it thank you they are interesting your smart thanks your good at this thanks .

The song has a very Arabic vibe...... That could have been their last show in England 1979 ,I am not sure since Bonahm had died in 1980 ...the very last show with drummer John Bonham was July 7th, 1980 in West Berlin Germany I was planning on going to see them in concert until I heard the news that night when Bohham had died. .I was only 6 years old when I first heard Zep , my older brother had a good stereo in his bedroom and our house was small and I heard some music and not knowing much but familiar in general with music in the house because it was played a lot on the radio and records ..The bass and drum rhythm with clear cymbals were so intriguing to my ears and I asked my bro who is that and he gave me the brand new lp cover of Led Zeppelin II and I just stared at it because it was so strange for me at the time and they just have been rent space in my head ever since along with the rest of the world that discovered them and welcome to the club

Getting warm a bit there...😉...🇬🇧🧙‍♂️ this one keeps that driving beat going all through with Bonham beating the rhythm driving the tempo from the back of a cave .... abley abetted by a full section of strings. Classic and prog rock tracks tend to have been created as album tracks...as the shorter format of a standard single tended to suit pop songs .. Its why the punk movement that followed tended to produce super short thrashings... The pendulum swung the other way briefly.

Great and honest reaction as usual. Congratulations. To see what the musicians and bands of the sixties and seventies were made of, those who wrote the book of modern music, you just have to check out the same Kashmir song 40 years later live on Celebration day with Bonzo's son on the drums. More than 20 million people were left without entry.Its gonna blow your mind. Keep on rocking ❤ Greetings from Barcelona

Dazed and confused u will be blown away I guaranteed it

I first heard them when I was 11. This was in 1972, my friend and I went into his older brothers room and listened to their first album. I was hooked! Was supposed to see them in 1980 just before Bonhqm passed. Enjoy their catalog. Do No Quarter next!

They played the soundtrack to my teenage years. Fantastic music! Perfection.

The musician playing the keyboards is John Paul Jones. He's one of the founding members of the band and he is also playing bass with the foot pedals. Very underrated and the band would not have been anywhere near as good as they are without him!

Led Zeppelin does not plug in to amplifiers Led Zeppelin plugs in to your Soul ❤

An absolute timeless classic.

if you want wild sound listen to 'dazed and confused '

You were dead-on with the drummer getting progressively more active as the song went on. You should watch them do this live from Celebration Day with the drummers son playing the drums. They were about 60 years old and absolute killed it! John Bonham's son was amazilg, as was everyone else. You'll thank me, I promise

I’d love to see you react to their song In my time of dying

Always four members of Led Zeppelin. John Paul Jones plays bass and keyboards (his keyboards produced the “flute“ sound in Stairway To Heaven) You now MUST listen to “Dazed And Confused“. Trust me! (Studio version, if possible)

Moby Dick Led Zeppelin , concert vershion! heloo from Kazakstan!

You should react to "The Lemon Song (Official Audio)" from Zeppelin It's a SEXy song!! You might blush!!

You're Just Standing at the Brim of a Huge Rabbit Hole into the Greatest Band .... May I Suggest " Since I've Been Loving You " Next. But Whatever You Decide to Choose will Definitely Drag You Farther In. ENJOY.

Hei Stacey! - if you liked the drumming from this song - then look for "Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick (Live at The Royal Albert Hall 1970) [Official Video]" - this is insane drumming.. 😍🤘

Great reaction... again :) next Zep song Since I've Been Loving You (Live at Madison Square Garden 1973) [Official Video] one of the best live performances ever, you won't be disappointed.

Listen to "Black Dog" 1973 Madison Square Garden,,,

Babe I’m gonna leave you live 1969!! You’ll love Roberts prime voice!!!

If you ever get into Pink Floyd check out the song Comfortably Numb - pulse concert performance 1994. Not sure which version but I think reactors do the "uncut". Song is from 1979. The song and show are epic.

For a real experience try “In the Light” from Zeppelin’s “Physical Graffiti” album.

Great reaction! Led Zeppelin performed Kashmir live at 02 Arena in London in 2007. Jason Bonham plays the drums. It's a great performance!

greetings! If you like the drums, wait until you check Achilles Last Stand!

John Paul Jones is the bass player and also keyboardist....the drummer John Bonham (who died within a year of this performance) is considered to be the greatest drummer in Rock history.....

Almost every Zeppelin song sounds unlike another. Well, it does, you know it's them. :-) Plant was horribly ill, and is not the biggest fan of this performance. I think because too close to the great loss. 😢

Robert Plant sadly had vocal cord surgery to remove nodules in 1973. He lost a lot of his upper range post surgery and instead focused on developing his lower range technique. The best years for plants voice is anything 1968-1972. Also John Paul Jones (the bassist) is playing keys and bass with his feet.

There are many more songs too check out

Top 5 bands of all time: 1. Led Zeppelin 2. Led Zeppelin 3. Led Zeppelin 4. Led Zeppelin 5. The rest of the goons..

No. No. No, not ONE OF, but THE best rock drummer EVER. FACT.

Whole lotta love was 1969 and Kashmir was 1975, but Led Zep had put out a lot of material between those songs. Drummer John Bonham was legendary and used many odd beat signatures which he worked so well into the performances.

Stacy review " Babe I'm gonna leave you" studio version if you really want hear Robert Plants voice. No Led Zeppelin song showcases his voice like it. Also Earls Court acoustic sets.

Also john paul jones was a studio musican worked with Jimmy page early days of the yard birds that page Eric Clapton n Jeff beck knew each other in early 60s should also check out the yard birds

Nice to see you Stacy! LZ has been a favorite of mine for 40 years. I saw them once in Los Angeles in 78, it was amazing. John Bonham isn’t called one of the GOATS for nothing. That feeling you describe is Led Zeppelin and what we all love about them. Intensity, with romanticism and passion, with some sick guitar riffs. You’ll notice as you listen to LZ that Bonham never does the same fill twice. Just like in this song, the spaces in between sections, usually filled in with drum beats. He NEVER repeats, not once, ever. Check it out you’ll see.

1979….John, the drummer died Sep 1980, bringing on the end of the band.

You should really listen to this whole album. It has several great songs for example ten years gone and trampled underfoot. The name of the album was called Physical Graffiti. A great double album

Let me take you back to 1973, I went to High School who was seeing them at Madison Square Garden on a 3 day sell out stint, he told me the next day that band was incredible

Hot as shit listening to hot as shit….ok I’m in🤷‍♂️ Ok that aside, you’re completely correct that you’re listening to the history of hard rock as you hear this. This is a classic along with every single other song they have. You’ll learn that they are so divergent that they spawned several hard rock genres. Just wait until you hear all of their music

Bonzo is playing the drum fantastic and off the chart😊wow

Try Immigrant song Live 1972 for pure power from all 4 of them

Drummer blowing you're mind because he was and I'd the legendary John bohnom

Led Zeppelins Fools in the rain ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I57nIP0vc44.html Has one HELL of a drum shuffle thats just out of this world !!!! He was a master with his drum kit !!!!!!!!!

try "Since I've Been Loving You" from the '73 msg the song remains the same concert.

I would definitely recommend checking out the studio version of this song if you can (even if not as a reaction) as you can really get a feel for what the band had in mind. This was a groundbreaker for its time :)

It’s like your taking a break sitting in a private section of a night club chilling with your friend’s.

Epic.

You wanna hear John drum listen to Moby Dick.

The terms you might have been looking for could be "laid back, but heavy stomping", or "powerfully dancing rhythms". "Bonzo" was one of the most influential drummers in rock music, maybe as influential as Keith Moon from The Who (the guy who invented modern rock drum playing with a lot of toms and being the first rock musician who was destroying hotel rooms as his trademark). Much of their magic is the small differences from repetition to repetition, which make for a great composition and arrangement. John Paul Jones, here at the keys, is one of the most underrated bass players ever. He switched from keys to bass on the fly in the concerts.Very busy and musical player. The keys he liked to play are electric organ and mellotron. Analog instruments before the synthesizers took over. On bass, he had a great technique playing with the pick. The rhythmically sloppy style of Jimmy Page made things sound organic, and the whole band always came back together to hit on all important beats, because they were fantastic live and studio teamplayers. Something many modern bands are lacking. Practice as a band! That's how they became a legend and style-building for generations of rock musicians after them. I like your reactions very much. Please keep them coming!

If you like the drums on this song, you really have to listen to When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin too.

What kind of Sports Do you like Football or Baseball or Basketball? .

Stacey check through rock history. Late 60’s and 70’s rock artist had become disenchanted with western culture. Guys from the Stones Beatles Zeppelin would travel to the eastern world to get their spiritual groove on. Read the lyrics from Kashmir! 😉. Yes Robert just took you there! ✌🏾. Saw this played live twice by them. Haunting is right!
