It’s been awhile but, thanks to the community’s winning vote, I’ve finally come back to Led Zeppelin, this time with their “other” all-time-great: Kashmir! I was surprised - in a good way - at how different, even unique, it sounded, compared with Stairway to Heaven. Join me in my first listen to this great song as I discover its rugged power!
Here’s the link to the original song by Led Zeppelin:
• Kashmir (Remaster)

I wonder if Vlad is a fan of The Velvet Underground? May be quite interesting to hear your thoughts on them given John Cale himself was a classically trained strings player and studied music at University, which gives a lot of their early songs quite a different feel to most rock songs. “Heroin” and “Venus in Furs” are masterpieces of composition that push the boundaries of what can even be considered “rock”, and so different to just about everything else in the genre.

@IW2MXP 10 месяцев назад
In my opinion, the real magic of this piece is the polyrhythmic cyclic behaviour of the guitar riff respect the drum pattern (3/4 versus 4/4) that gives a suggestive and hypnotic taste to the whole song. It's repeated like a "mantra" during the entire song but for that reason, it never gets boring. "Tension and Release" can be created in music not only by the chords progression (harmony) but also by rhythm and this song Is the proof. Really brilliant and original.

@phil4193
@phil4193 Год назад
Lots of people think Kashmir is in an odd time signature, because of the strange periodic misalignment between the guitar and the drums. But the song is just in 4/4. However, the main hook for the song is a three beat pattern, which when played against the 4/4 drums. So, the two rhythms drift in and out of sync with each other, only sharing a coincident downbeat every other measure. The song is a basic 4/4 backbeat, but the song has what we drummers call a "three over four" rhythm. The drums are in four, but the riff is in three. IMO, this contributes to the song's trancelike feel.

I did always feel like this song really needed one more crescendo like it has at about half to 2/3 of the way through the song to be absolutely perfect. It builds up to another one and then it just fades back down to the end of the song. I'm really waiting for one more of those crescendos and then fade down to the end of the song. It's always been my favorite part and the most powerful part of the song and when it's building up to another and then it fades out instead I'm never not disappointed no matter how many times I hear the song. I'm always thinking to myself damn they haven't re-recorded it with a second crescendo yet!?! Wtf. As a matter of fact when I come in at the middle of the song on the radio and I'm not sure exactly where I am in the song I always hope when they're building to the crescendo that it's still going to happen and I'm not at the place at the end where there is no crescendo. If I am that's a big disappointment. This is another reason there needs to be two of them. Two of something great is always better than one of something great!

There’s so much detail to the production that’s uniquely Zeppelin and Jimmy Page. No one really talks about the intro, but you’ll notice that it opens with a “whoosh” sound which I believe is the application of a phaser on the guitar and drums. It makes the listener sound like they’re being ushered into a new world. A psychedelic fever dream. They use effects like this - to create a new world - on another masterpiece - When the Levee Breaks. Check that out. They put you in the center of a raging hurricane and storm. This is what sets Zeppelin apart from all other heavy rock bands.

The micro tonal lines of Robert Plant's voice together with the strings, beginning at about 14:30, is really haunting. I'm no expert on Middle Eastern scales, but I know in some traditions there are multiple notes between Western music's half steps. In some traditional Turkish folk music some of these notes are used in ascending lines while others are reserved for descending lines. This goes way beyond the micro tonal notes and bends we hear from blues, jazz and related forms, and so sounds especially exotic to our ears. To my ears, the parts here are moving by steps, picking out specific notes that are foreign to Western music, and not merely sliding around. Listening to this again makes me wonder if they used particular scales from the Kashmir valley and region, or from elsewhere in the Middle East, and what their influences and even mentors were through this part of their musical journey? Led Zep really nailed this, didn't they!

Perhaps, somewhat. Ironically I would say Kashmir has a little bit more colorful musical movement to it. I recall hearing once that Ravel didn't even consider Bolero a real piece of music. I guess that's sort of true since it's missing key elements to what are considered musical works in Western harmony. Its a wonderful experience, but its basically a repetitive rhythmic idea overlaid by a hypnotically extended melodic phrase, the various elements are either very static (rhythm, root chordal basis) or very linear (dynamic build).

You could have eased in with some Prog Rock before tackling Zep, maybe you did. I was lucky enough to see Zeppelin eight times in concert, starting in 1972. The final concert was their reunion show in London in 2007. It was an amazing concert, and John Bonham’s son Jason played drums. I hope you give it a chance, and enjoy. Thanks for the video.

Yes, this song for me is a powerful musical portrait of aimlessness or disorientation -- as one lost in a desert -- from the crossed rhythms that give it an off kilter kind of feel, to the ascending vs. descending chromatic lines (as you pointed out!) to the "which way?" of the zigzagging added figure in verse 2 and onward to the singer's weary, almost unsure mood. My favorite spot is when the singer sings "trying to find where I've been" over that oscillating pattern of two chords (another element that doesn't seem to know where to go) and returns to the chromatically rising figure of the first part. There are two tracks for the vocals at that moment, and when the band crashes down decisively on the return of the opening material, those two vocal tracks overhead blur in and out of one another on half-tones and even quarter-tones, suggesting a blurred, fuzzy disorientation in this never-ending desert. Very powerful and eloquent tone painting.

Perhaps one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed, at least in rock and roll. Please, please, pretty please? Even if you dont react, please listen to it. It has so many chords that are unusual, it is a bittersweet melancholy sort of feel, I recall that I wept when I first heard it for a few reasons: I felt that the sadness it must take to write such a melody moved me to pity for Jimmy Page...and because I was 24 at the time and realized I had spent 24 years not enjoying it, nor will I ever be able to create something so beautiful.

The difference between a "riff" and a "hook". A "riff" can be any unique sequence of notes in a song. If it's interesting and catchy enough, it may become a 'hook'. The "hook" is a sequence that the song kind of hinges on, and which is usually repeated throughout a song. It's like fishing... the 'hook' is what grabs the listener and makes them want to keep listening to a song. It sticks in peoples minds and makes them whistle or hum the sequence hours later. As many have noted, a good 'hook' is what makes a song popular. But songs without a good 'hook' never make the charts. So it's kind of like the old syllogism, "all thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs". All 'hooks' are 'riffs'... but not all 'riffs' are 'hooks'.

I listened to this radio station intently for the next 2 weeks before I finally figured out who it was. Music, pre-internet, was a strange and mysterious thing. It was like digging for treasure, with all the same pitfalls and confusion, but occasionally finding that gold.

I wish I could go back and relive hearing Supper's Ready for the first time. All I remember is rewinding the cassette tape (and believing Horizons is actually part of the song). I am pretty sure I came close to wearing out the rewind on the cassette player I had.

Mine was low spark of high healed boys. Visiting my GF family in 1987. I’m 19. Her dad and I are driving running an errand. First time 1 on 1. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a joint. We finished it and the piano lick starts playing. He cranked it up. I will never forget that day.

I guess I can thank my parents for being young enough for us to listen to Led Zeppelin all my life. I can’t imagine not knowing who Led Zeppelin was until the ‘80s, unless I was born in the ‘80s (which I wasn’t). Besides my parents, this was just a staple of radio in my youth.

It's so wonderful to see someone really 'in tune' with the beauty and virtuosity of Led Zep's music - it brought tears of joy to my eyes. I don't believe it has been surpassed ever since it was released.

John Bonham, one of the greatest drummers ever, holds this song together. Through all the transitioning feels, he maintains that irresistible pulse. Note the subtle bass drum work through the bridge! He also never losses that pulse and solid time trough the fills in the outro. You should here him play that outro live! Genius!

Absolutely spot on! As a Bonzo fan you may already know of Yoyoka’s drum covers, or Andrew Rooney’s drummer appreciation channels - if not, check them out. IMHO they rock. 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼

Ginger Bakers soul trying to get the old body to roll over neath a headstone, where grave digging soles will stroll. "BONHAM ADD NA FAKAN SWING" he urges a dried throat to cry, willing tears to soften mummys tissue, that he may make all harken his protest one, fleeting, final time.

Agree. He is the constant heartbeat of this track. He manages to sound both like he's surging forward ahead of us yet also ominously gaining ground from behind at the same time. Indeed those fills at the end of the live version at Knebworth are amazing, especially as we can see him doing it. Like a burst of fireworks in a row.

GREAT room sound on the drums and he kept them tuned low. Can't stand the spanky-tinny sound of drummers today.

Being new to Zeppelin you can’t have expectations. They were definitely a heavy blues outfit at the core and did a number of songs in that style, but their catalog includes so many different styles of music incorporated into their sound that it helped set them above their contemporaries and inspired musicians to this day. So happy to see reaction on your channel today.

The scope of music produced by LZ along with their ability to pull it off is what separates them from all the others. The musicianship and writing skills may never be matched as far as depth, dynamics and lyrical content. A very extraordinary band with a catalog of genres' that covers the early 20's to the contemporary era they were active. If anything has been over-looked, it's the lyrical content that reaches deep into Easten Philosophy to Modern pop and everything in-between.

Another great analysis! One thing to note, the piece was inspired by a classical/folk Egyptian piece by Um Kalthoum called Inta Omri. Plant and Page have discussed this many times in the past.

Bit of a stretch, the vocals certainly are inspired by her. Jimmy Page has never spoken about her ever. Robert has of course on more than one occasion. ✌️

Thank you for your reaction to this song Kashmir. This is my very favorite song of all time. I have many favorite songs, and there are too many to count, but this song is at the very top with nothing above it. I believe it is because I was 10 years old when it was released and getting radio airplay and I fell in love with the middle eastern feel to it and the lyrics that took me to another place, far far away from the abuse I was suffering at the time. I love this song and it holds so much meaning and importance to me. For a real treat, I recommend you watch the concert video from Kashmir (Live from Celebration Day) (Official Video) - RU-vid, Thank you !!!

A band that can go from 'The Rain Song' to 'Whole Lotta Love'. Who else does that?!?! Pure genius. Often imitated, but never duplicated. I fear we will never see their likes again.
