LED ZEPPELIN - Kashmir || Reaction (First Listen) 

Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Two great bands with totally different objectives. Pink Floyd wanted to take you on a journey into outer space and then safely return you to planet earth. Led Zeppelin wanted to take you to the middle of nowhere, rip your clothes off and then just leave your ass there.

My favorite band of all time is Pink Floyd. But if you ask me who the greatest rock band of all time is I'll answer instantly: Led Zeppelin. That's just the way it is!

This is done in 3/4 time for the whole band EXCEPT the drummer, who plays 4/4 time. The time signatures match up every 12th beat. That is what makes this great, aside from incredible musicians!

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page have both publicly acknowledged Kashmir as their crowning achievement and the song they are most proud of. It took them 3 years to get the song just the way they wanted it. The song was started in 1972 and completed in 1975. John Bonham used the heaviest drumsticks he could find for the pronounced effect on percussion. He said it was the most exhausting song to do on drums of any Zeppelin song but also the most enjoyable. John Paul Jones keyboard part gives off the middle to far east tinge to the song. No doubt a masterpiece.

It's illegal to stop any Led Zeppelin song once you started you have to listen to it through the whole song without stopping it.then you'll be safe

John Bonham was a madman in the drums!!

Literally makes me smile to see another generation hearing Led Zeppelin with the same amazement I had so many years ago. As I get older and older its tougher and tougher to find common bonds that make me feel some type of connection to a younger generation. I try my damndest to keep up with whats considered cool or trendy or popular but its really cool to see younger people go back and appreciate the things I grew up liking. Great group. Great song. Great reaction.

John Bonham, the greatest rock drummer ever! These drums were recorded in the staircase of a castle with only three microphones, which is why they sound so huge with the natural reverb, along with a tape delay. What a band! Don't get me started. Fun to watch people react the first time!

Immigrant song Black dog Whole lotta love When the levee breaks To name a few of their greats. Led ZEPPLIN is a deep rabbit hole. Enjoy the ride.

I'll just say one short thing here. In all of the 70s Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd we're playing catch and every other band in existence were just watching!

This is the best band there ever was! No bad songs! Best musicians to ever live! React to their live stuff...they will blow you away!! You are in for a treat with Zeppelin!!

"When the Levee Breaks" has excellent drumming and is such a vibe!!!

Music of the late '60s and '70s were the best we ever had.

Prince got a lot of his influences through David gilmour's guitar playing Jimmy Page's playing in all the greats from the 60s and 70s

I actually don’t know how to pay proper respect to this band. Just so much talent.❤️✌️🙏🏽

I am betting that if he listens to enough Zep / Pink Floyd that picture of Jordan will move to another room and it will be replaced by one of those bands photos.....any takers?

Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyed are 2 of the greatest rock bands 2 ever exist, you'll understand when you listen 2 them! Take it from someone who loves hip hop,rap, jazz, reggae, funk, afro beat, EDM, metal, alternative , and classical music.

This is an unusual introduction to Led Zeppelin. Most reactors don't start with Kashmir. But what an introduction! Kashmir is epic, amazing, gorgeous! Welcome to the rabbit hole. OH yeah, next: Dazed and Confused (the studio version) , Since I've Been Loving You - Live 1973 Madison Square Garden, Baby, I'm Leaving You (video version), and When the Levee Breaks (audio). With Led Zeppelin, the versions matter.

Pink Floyd's Pulse performance of Comfortably Numb and Led Zep's Celebration Day performance of Kashmir are live perfection.

Some other good Led Zep tracks include 'Whole lotta love', 'Dazed and confused' and 'Stairway to heaven'.

"Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" a must hear by them..

the meaning of perfection is Led Zeppelin, I have never seen such a perfect synchrony between voice and instrumental, in addition to the lyrics being extremely complex and philosophical and Kashmir translates all that.

I was 13 when I first heard Kashmir, I would play it over and over, eventually I got tired of moving the arm to the last song so I would start at the beginning, 58 now, still hooked. Great to see him getting into it.

This is an iconic song. It has been used in countless ways. Led Zeppelin has the four greatest musicians ever assembled in a band. Keep listening to them. Check out some of their live stuff so you can see them in action, like In my time of dying or even this song, Kashmir live at Knebworth 1979. There’s way too much stuff to recommend. Might as well just check all of it.

Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Steely Dan is a solid start!

I was able to see their last concert in the US, in 1977 at the Oakland coliseum. It was surreal, on the grass seating, I was able to walk right up to the fence at the stage. At one point I turned back to return to those I can with, there was a huge cloud of smoke that hung over the grass and filled the stadium, lol

The best rock band of all time. I don’t compare them with Pink Floyd because you cannot compare apples and oranges. Both are the best of what they did. Period. And yeah, some drugs were involved when I saw LZ in 1973. Lord have mercy! Annie

What a great reaction. And you so picked up on the arrangement factor of their music. Now they got you!!! Now you have to go down the Led Zeppelin rabbit hole. . . .THIS SONG WAS RECORDED IN 1974!!!! . Led Zeppelin was together from 1968 to 1980. When their drummer, John Bonham died in 1980, they broke up. They are the GOAT!! Each member possibly the best on their instrument. Way before their time and influenced so many artists that followed. They explored all types of music - rock, blues, folk, funk, soul, reggae. Their studio recordings are one experience - you can hear their talent both playing and in production. Their live performances are a total different animal - you can hear their talent still but you can SEE their performance qualities and they always do amazing jams live. They arranged their music specifically so they could jam in concert. I always say to listen to the studio version and watch a live performance, if possible, to get the full effect of LZ. PLEASE PLEASE REACT to Since I've Been Loving You live at Madison Square Garden from 1973 - it will take you to another place Here's the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_ZiN_NqT-Us.html ALSO for Kashmir, the surviving members got together for a reunion concert in 2007 (and for the last time probably) - with Bonham's son on drums. 16000 seats were available for the one night concert - there were 20 million requests for those tickets. That's Led Zeppelin. THE CONCERT WAS FABULOUS - here's the link to that performance of Kashmir - 33 years after the one you just listened to and still tight

Please do their song "Dazed and Confused" Oh, and turn it up!!

THATS WHAT YOU CALL TRUE ARTISTS. AMAZING!

Pure talent. That is what many artist these days lack.

That was the legendary John Henry Bonham on the kit. You'll hear more throughout your jouney.. cheers!! stay safe ☮

Check out their studio version of *Achilles Last Stand.* That is Jimmy Page’s (guitarist) magnum opus and favourite Led Zeppelin song.

I am 63 and I still listen to them. Kashmir is my throw head back, close eyes and FEEL.

Please play LED ZEPPELIN Since IVE BEEN LOVING YOU live 1973 Madison Square garden, thank you

I love your reaction...you made me feel it all over again

As a old man from the UK it is nice to see you young black Americans enjoying this music because it was black Americans in the 1940's to 1960's that influenced many of our bands of that era. My favourite artist is still Bille Holiday what a voice

Best rock group in history. Epic song

They are downright hypnotizing for sure and thankyou for actually listening all the way through without pausing it ten times as some reactors do. You respect the music, more than showing out for your viewers, and it shows. I like you man.

Bless you for calling out the reality of today's music got to learn your instruments got to learn your composition ...the song you just heard is what I grew up with and I was waiting for something better to come along I just haven't heard it yet!

Yeah, yeah, you are in for a beautiful journey. I envy you sir. I wish I was just discovering them for the first time too. That being said it's a joy to watch your reaction. Bon Voyage!

I’ll leave you with this: “Achilles’ Last Stand”. Enjoy!

Led Zeppelin never recorded one bad song, ever, and I have listened to their entire canon since I was in high school. It's unheard of even for the best bands.

"In My Time of Dying" studio version, but the best way to grow with Zeppelin is to start from the beginning as so many of us have, so the first album is called Led Zeppelin, very bluesy with some hard hitting rock, and a little folk, "Good Times Bad Times would be the beginning of it all, and what a beginning

I've known these songs most my life. To see someone experience it for the first time.

Please PLEASE do Dazed and Confused, us Zeppelin fans have heard it more times than can be counted but watching people react to it has been amazing, it's such an incredible and dynamic song.

I'm not sure how old this young man is but I can tell he's younger than me. I didn't grow up in the 70s (80s/90s for me) but I heard all these songs alot growing up. I LOVE seeing young people discovering timeless music like this song. It just warms my heart.

You may be familiar with Puff Daddy’s ‘Come With Me’ featuring Jimmy Page (of Led Zeppelin) where they use this song as the background music. If not, check it out. Excellent song in its own right. Love your reactions. The Deep Purple and Jethro Tull rabbit holes are waiting for you when you’re ready. Thank you for sharing your reactions. It’s great to see people hearing these great artists for the first time.

Unbelievable... listening to your first led Zep tune and it's Kashmir. Enjoy the ride

I recommend your next Led Zeppelin song: “Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You”

Unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You’ve just crossed over into… the Twilight Zone.” ― Rod Serling

I love watching this guy's reaction and his obvious love of music!

Led Zeppelin is regarded by many to be one of the best if not the best rock bands of all time!! Many many more songs to react to from them!!!!!!

You gotta taste 'the Rain Song'...'In My Time of Dying' ...'the Immigrant Song(studio)' ....'the Ocean' ...'Black Dog' and 'Four Sticks' as well.

Dazed and Confused next. Then When The Levee Breaks. Over The Hills, then Fool In the Rain to show you the range.

floyd,zeppelin,you cant go wrong,so many badass bands back then

Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in London in 1968. The group consisted of vocalist Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham.

This was the first Led Zeppelin song I heard, my brother played it for me when I was a kid It was released the same year I was born 1975 so literally grew up listen to it. I have a connection with this song on a very deep level, it also inspired my love for classical music. Fun fact: The movie your referencing is the "Matrix" at the ending scene "Wake Up" by Rage Against the Machine plays and their song pays homage in the intro to Kashmirs classic string arrangement.

I love the way this guy enjoys one of my favourite tunes ever 👍

Led Zepplin - Stairway to Heaven - Dyer Maker - Rock n Roll - Over the Hills and Far away .......and Many More...you can't go wrong with any song they are all Classic Hits!

Moody Blues is another great band. 50 years finally in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I cried Watching them. I smile watching you.😘😘😊

This was when music was worth listening to. It was called talent

Welcome to the Led-Zeppelin rabbit hole 🙂

This song is from 1975 and it still sounds fresh . Besides all those amazing songs, the way this album was recorded makes it totally unique. Zeppelin on a good sound system is something every rock music lover should experience . I also have to say that it's really cool to see young people appreciate this band . Even if you think you don't like classic rock , you probably haven't heard anything like Led Zeppelin. They had good songs on every album and each album was totally different than the previous one. They were so versatile that you're bound to hear something you like if you listen to all their material.

Yeah man, you hit 'IT' square on the head when you said "These Bands Today, Just Don't Got 'IT' like They Did Back Then" (Paraphrase). These 'Iconic' GROOVES' have been simi duplicated & imitated multiple times over & over.. Even used 'In Part' in dozens of Movies & other Musical groups compositions throughout the decades.. BUT when ya get down to the O.G.s it's simply hits and sways your soul..

5 tunes to blow you away from these and Pink Floyd- 1. Stairway to heaven 2. No quarter 3.in the light 4. (Pink Floyd) comfortably numb (preferably Pulse Live) 5. Shine on you crazy diamond (pulse live album again!)

Great choice for a first song reaction by Zeppelin. You may have heard this via Puff Daddy's Come With Me off Godzilla soundtrack, where he hooked up with Jimmy Page. If not there, then you probably heard the pure awesomeness that is original Zeppelin.

Wow, your reaction was great! This song just reaches in and grabs your soul. Led Zeppelin and Queen are my favourites, but there’s also Cream, Credence Clearwater Revival, Pink Floyd...The sort of music that can transport you to another place, make you cry, send shivers down your spine and take you on a psychedelic trip. You’ve listened to Pink Floyd so I know you know what I’m talking about. You are the first reactor I’ve seen who admits that current music is missing something. The old bands didn’t have auto tune, they had to be able to play their instruments, write their own music and sing in tune. Please check out Led Zeps Stairway to Heaven live at MSG. It’s probably their most well known song, but what a performance it is! And can I suggest Queen, Somebody to Love live version at Montreal

Gods and dragons live when you listen to this band. They were known as "The Hammer of the Gods" for a reason. 😉 John Henry Bonham is a drummer extraordinaire. Check out "Four Sticks" and "No Quarter".

I love exploring and finding new music I never would have thought of liking. I was first introduced to Led Zeppelin when I was a teenager working at a pizza restaurant. The key to happiness at least in my mind is being open to new things and NEVER stop learning!

I'm 55, and Led Zeppelin is still my #2 of all time, the Beatles of course is #1. There is a band from the same era called "Quicksilver Messenger Service", check out their song "What about Me", you won't believe how true it is today, it was released in 1970, amazing song!

My ultimate favorite song!!! Led Zeppelin is my ultimate favorite band!!

makes you feel like you can conquer the universe.

Everyone loves Stairway to Heaven (including me) and most people think of Stairway when you say Led Zeppelin. For Zep fans "their Stairway" is Kashmir. I have too many Zep songs as favorites to name them all as they are my favorite band. I have seen Plant in concert 12 times and while I'm just a few years too young to see them in concert I had the pleasure of seeing Plant and Page live in Atlanta '95 for the No Quarter tour.

The most epic drum line in rock history. Just epic.

Greatest Rock n Roll band in history. No other band comes within a million miles of this POWER HOUSE. GREATEST DRUMMER GREATEST LEAD GUITARIST GREATEST BASS / KEYBOARD ARTIST ..GREATEST VOCALIST.....EVER. THE LEAD GUITAR 🎸 PLAYER CREATED THIS ICONIC BAND IN ,1968. JIMMY PAGE.

You are CORRECT. The music was unbelievable back in the 70’s‼️‼️‼️‼️ Thankyou for enjoying our music !! RIP JOHN BONHAM ‼️‼️‼️‼️🙏🏻❤️🎶🎵

These guys are the masters of turning Blues into Rock, and about any other Genre ! "Stairway to Heaven" is a classic you might enjoy, also " No Quarter" and " Babe i'm Gonna leave You" , just to name a few. Their play list is nearly endless .

John Bonham plays the drums to this song with so much passion and power shakes my whole house help me Spock

Great poster of MJ`s final shot! Black and white with only MJ in colour. I forgot to comment that Led Zeppelin is my go to rock band. They are in all my play lists.

"Since I've Been Loving You" Zeppelin 3....PLEASE check out that song and do a reaction. I'm hitting all your vids for this one...lol

Fittingly Kashmir was the last song played live by Zed Zeppelin at the 02 in London back in 2003. With Jason Bonham performing on drums in place of his father John Bonham it was a fitting closure for the band. 🇬🇧

Music classes were required back in these days in school. Makes sense that it inspired so many greats. For some school kids, music is all they ha e.

Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are the greates bands ever. They changed my life. Some tracks u should listen are dazed and confused, stairway to heaven, achilles last stand, since ive been loving you, immigrant song, no quarter, when the leeve breaks, babe im gonna leave you, in my time of dying. And songs of Pink Floyd u must listen the great gig in the sky, money, us and them, echoes, pigs, what do you want from me, coming back to life and much more! Greetings from Monterrey Mexico!

You didn’t know about the Big beats of the Mighty Led Zeppelin! Great Reaction!

Roadkill's comment is spot on. I bought my first Pink Floyd LP in 1973, Dark Side of the Moon. Still have it, still listen to it. Favorite band of mine for sure. BUT Led Zeppelin is by far the best rock band ever. If you have never done it you MUST do at least one Zepithon in your life. I do this over many weekends in the summer while sitting out in the sun on my terrace. Enjoy the ride!

The enjoyment you get from listening to this band is that you can listen to the song entirely or listen to each instrument individually and it's so good.. The mixing, the technique/style of each musician....it is timeless...

Oh to be listening to this for the first hundred times. I'm into the thousands. Still sound amazeballs.

led zep with Air Jordan slammin the door shut on the Utah Jazz in the background . Perfection all around the house .

The yesteryear Band's had PASSION in their hearts for music. IMHO that's what is missing today.

I’m a new subscriber, thanks for reactions to the music I grew up with, and in some ways defines me. I so appreciate your comment about the complexities of this song. A soaring orchestral arrangement like you hear on this song is missed by most other artists today. Looking forward to hearing your other reactions.

The entire Zeppelin 4 album ZOSO FOREVER.

A must to see how amazing they Still Are. Revisit and React to: Kashmir - Live from Celebration Day

Awesome reaction Man you moved me! I saw them at Madison Square Garden in NY when I was 17, I am 67 now and still love them, and the fact that you want to hear more warms my heart, and i just earlier saw your Pink Floyd reactions, Dogs etc. and am happy for yoiu that you have such a treasure trove ahead of you. Great Man!!! I'll keep checkin' back (: ..

See what we had in our teens?? Damn the best ‼️‼️ The 70’s were prime ‼️‼️‼️‼️

So many fantastic groups from that era...the one I came of age in. I just found you by accident tonite on u tube and have watched for more than an hour your ddiscovering Zeppelin (yes, pronounced "Zeplin") and Floyd...my two favorite groups, but there is so much more...like Chest Fever by The Band or Shine on Brightly by Procol Harum. Music has been my passion since I can remember and since I am alone and my closest friends are not into what I am music my, I have to say tonite has been absolutely wonderful sharing your reactions, like I did in the late 60's-early 70's stoned with my college musician friends. So glad I found you!! You made this old Hippie very happy tonite...and for more times, I am sure. By the way, my two sons grew up on all this hard rock, and a favorite was "21st Century Schizoid Man" by King Crimson. I hope you can find it. (Oh yeah the list I alone could give you!)

These drums are trible!!!! ❤

I grew up in San Diego on the beach in 1980s Zeppelin was the first tape I put in the player of my car, everytime! Loved this song forever, Robert Plant Holy shit! It takes you to a different world your there in the desert with him it's just incredible!

I was in Kashmir 35 years ago. You can feel the mountains and the lakes and the hashish in the song.

Achilles Last Stand and Nobody's Fault But Mine! They are rarely played on the radio, but are two of the band's best
