REACTION: kashmir LED ZEPPELIN 

They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band.

Nice reaction and a lot to say: This song was inspired by middle Eastern rhythms and a trip that Page and Plant took through the African desert while traveling to a music festival in Morrocco. This song has been sampled a lot, especially Puff Daddy's song "Come with Me" which Jimmy Page plays on. For the live versions I like Celebration Day. While the three surviving members were around 60 years old, this performance shows that elders can still rock and mean it. This was not three "has beens" reliving their glory days. These are three musicians who can still put on a powerful, mesmerizing show. IMO Plant's voice sounds as good or better than ever. Jason Bonham also shines on the drums. I'm sure his father is proud.

This has been sampled many times by various artists. Plus, the riff is often used at sporting games, etc. You’ll love the live versions too. You should check out How Many More Times from their television debut in 1969 for Denmark radio. It shows you how much talent they had from the start. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wEPog_WdPE4.html

I was at Knebworth so kinda have a strong connection with that one, especially as its one of the last with John (Bonzo) Bonham on drums BUT Celebration Day with John's son, Jason who steps in for his late father on drums absolutely does his dad proud and they add alot more of a Middle-East inflection on the vocals. And don't for 1 second think that because they're older they don't produce Led Zeppelin level of awesomeness!

I remember buying this album when it came out in 1975. Had to work some extra hours because $12, for a double album, was a lot of money back then and it was worth every penny.

One does not simply "listen" to Zeppelin you "FEEL" it!

Glad you are better. You'd love both the 1979 Kenworth (filmed near the end of Zeppelin) and the 2007 O2 reunion concert, filmed nearly 30 years later, when they were in their late 50's/60's.

You're back!! We missed you!! So nice to see you're back doing Zeppelin and yes this song feels like you're going through a time machine. look forward to the next one

Glad you're feeling better. You are correct; they had both horns and strings session musicians play on this song. As far as live goes, it's hard to say. In 1979/Knebworth, it's all 4 and they kill it. In Celebration Day, they're in their late 50s/early 60s (except for Jason who's in his 40s at the time) but they STILL kill it. Do BOTH! HA! And *really* get your Zep on! 😄

You are naturally beautiful, and I mean beautiful. You really don’t need all the paint. Would love to see you natural. That’s how a 70’s Zep fan would look!

Great reaction!! Either Knebworth or O2 is worth watching....hell both of them are. I just want to comment that you mentioned Bonham's drumming. And unlike so many other bands, that's the thing with Zeppelin....all four members were equal parts of an even greater whole. Page may have formed the band but all four ARE the band. That's why when Bonham died they just couldn't go on...no one could replace that quarter of the band. Thankfully, even without him we have their musical legacy for the ages.

p diddy sampled this for the godzilla soundtrack (come with me), jimmy agreed to it as long as he played guitar lol. so in come with me its actually jimmy on guitar

First time I heard Kasmir was live in NY February 1975. Weeks before the album was released. The entire crowd of 20k at the NY Colusieum was mesmerized. We had no idea what we were hearing. I knly knew it other worldly. Most amazing and memorable LZ live moment for me! And I saw them perform live 5 times!

They only used bass, drums, keys, and guitar. That is how great they are! JPJ could make his keyboards do anything. He played bass lines with his foot, while playing the keyboard! 😎

You should definitely react to the 2007 reunion of them doing Kashmir at the Celebration Day Show with John Bonham's son, Jason, playing drums. It was magical and they showed that they still had the power and talent that made them famous. They were still in top form...AMAZING!

Their performance of this live at Celebration Day is spectacular. Forever Rockstars. Masterful in all the do.

Thanks for making my day Ari! The 1979 live version of this song you'll love and I hope you'll react to that. Happy you're feeling better!

This song came to Plant in a dream while driving through the Sahara in Morocco. He woke up with the whole song, fully formed. Freaked the rest of the band out. Kashmir is a disputed kingdom split between India and Pakistan. Half Muslim, half Hindu. The Hindu ruler chose India in '47, and it's been a low-level war ever since. There are several excellent live versions, including one with an orchestra and Jason Bonham on drums.

What you’re trying to say is you feel hypnotized

Happy you loved the song and looking forward to your live reaction of Kashmir. Hope you'll do No Quarter by Zeppelin live soon. It's similar to the rain song. Congrats on 1K subs on to 2K!!!

Do the 2007 live version! Much better than the 1979 live version! Plus it's zeppelins last time they performed together!

the best live version is 2007! they were ON IT despite their age

It might be familiar coz it's been sampled sooooo much and Jimmy Page worked with Puff Daddy to produce "Come with Me" the theme for the movie Godzilla (in the official video that's Jimmy playing guitar on the big screen in the background)

YES. This song creates a sense of fear/ dread. Almost Middle Eastern urgency. Super complex time signature on drums. Darling, I love them as much as you do!!!! Very good A&E documentary about Led Zeppelin, 2004. Lots of background. Rock on.

Yeah check out the Knebworth (1979) version it's awesome !

Great to be with you too Ari. I will stay hydrated!

Subscribers going up. Congrats Ari

LUUUUUUURVE your reaction boss lady !!!!!! Lookin` forward to many more !!!! ( Reaction to LZ I mean!!)

Your reaction is EXACTLY mine when I first heard it too ♡

Love how you didn't want it to end!

Ari,you are so gorgeous and have such a unique raspy voice... I feel that if you did ASMR,it would be amazing!!

PDiddy/Puff Daddy sampled it for a song he did for the sound track of a Godzilla movie remake in the '00s..using Jimmy Page on the track to replicate his guitar parts from the original. There's a RU-vid of a live performance from a SNL performance of the song. It was called "come go with me"

You want live? You MUST check out their 1971 Royal Albert Hall performance. Sooooo much better than the MSG performance.

Yes the rappers who actually don't know how to play or even know what a Musical instrument is sampled this many times

Rage Against the Machine has a song “Wake Up” that starts with pretty much this rift. It’s the song at the end of the first Matrix movie. Great song!!!! You should check it out.

Yeah- go ahead and do both... see how they changed, got better, over the years. I expected the 1979 version, I was blown out by the 2007 version- they never lost a step, and Jason killed. Peace.

This is what cool grandparents were listening to when we were young. 😎😜✌

Masters at their Craft!!!!

I love how you always have a little reverb in your play backs...

Puff Daddy had song from late 1990's called "Come With Me" featuring Jimmy Page, as part of soundtrack from Godzilla film released around that time. It more than samples Kashmir.

Knebworth or my personal favourite their reunion concert in 2007.....Celebration Day

this girl gets it!

my fave led zep song, so good. now u gotta react to their celebration day live 2007. all older, and bonhams son plays drums. amazing.

You are so pretty! Love your reactions!!!! This song was the song the tuned in, before they made it song 🎵 🎼

The best comment I have ever heard about Kashmir is, It's Transporting, It's taking you on a magical journey.

The celebration day version is incredible!

*Ari* YAYYY.! Love watching your exploration of my G.O.A.T. band.! Excellent video & reaction.! Hey here's a suggestion....... to highlight how *IMPORTANT* John Bonham was and his drum skills, checkout *Achilles Last Stand* !!!!!! Much Love..

Celebration day!! You will be blown away!

The drums do sound great

There aren't many songs that will elicit from me--EVERY TIME--either tears at the beauty of the sound (e.g., the sax in Bruce Springsteen's "Jungleland") or tingles that use my spine as a race track (e.g., the guitar in Boston's "Long Time"), but this is one of them. In this case it's Robert Plant's voice, and it happens every time I hear this one particular part (4:55 of your video). If I had the sound off I'd still be able to tell when it happened just by your reaction! :)

Yeah! Celebration day version is awesome though

Definitely do the 1979 performance even though O2 is great, it’s not the full band because obviously Bonham isn’t there. There’s also some great live performances of this song from 1975 when it was released on the legendary double album Physical Graffiti, which is IMO their greatest one . When you get the chance you should react to some early zeppelin, they were fire from the beginning lol. You should react to this, it’s a song called “how many more times” from the first album that they performed regularly in the early days. Here they’re playing at a danish high school of al places and the kids are blown away and have no idea at first what they’re experiencing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wEPog_WdPE4.html

I think the Knebworth show is fantastic, and you whould react to that. Yes, the riff from this has been sampled by many people.

Magnificent!

I love your reactions.

Great choice Ari, their studio versions are almost always better and the definitive version of most of their songs. They are a great live band but looser and often doing improv in the middle of songs, always worth hearing But in the studio only the Beatles, Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix and the WHO are in the same magnificent category for Classic Rock. Try to listen to their albums from the start when you can, you won't know how good these guys were until you do. Live stuff is tons of fun and can grow a tune into something more. Studio though is where they shine beyond almost anyone. Great reaction today, the live version in 79 is my favorite. Thanks again, you are a bright spot in my day! 😊

Sean Combs and Jimmy Page teamed up on the song "Come With Me" for the 1998 Godzilla movie. It samples Kashmir with Puffy rapping over it

Love your LZ reactions, I think your ready now for "Achilles Last Stand" by LZ, this song completely blow your mind! There is a live version to, I recommend to do both! Take your pick, cant wait to see your reaction!

Yes this was sampled by then P.Diddy > Come with Me (Godzilla soundtrack) Jimmy was in the video for contract agreement It's an 8:28 song 😜

I tripped while listening to this back in the 70's. It was as if I had been transported to Kashmir itself. Good times! 😎

Hope u r feeling better

Wow so much music from 3 people and Robert plant’s vocals ❤

This has been sampled more times than you can count (:. But then again so have most of there songs if not all of them (:

Looking forward to your live reaction to Kashmir Ari

Knebworth & Celebration Day are both great. Another one is the Page & Plant version from 1994 with a full orchestra: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9vbeilE0UrQ.html

Puff Dad did a remake of sorts with Jimmy Page called "come with Me. It was on the Godzilla soundtrack.

how come you didn't do the live Celebration day version

You must hear this live at celebration day they are at least 30 years older or more they never lost a beat it's worth a listen

A diamond in the rough. Out on the Tiles Led Zeppelin 3

"I can't explain it"... yep, hypnotic beat. Nothing Amazing, but so intoxicating.

Celebration Day version, no doubt!

yeah live Celebration Day....40 years later....slammed the door shut on who's the greatest ... must see

Almost certainly what you're thinking of is puff daddy from the 90s godzilla

Do the celebration day version. Better sound quality and I think Robert's voice is actually better than in '79

1979, then 2007. Both are great!

Kasmir, like many Led Zeppelin songs, lifts you up!

You might have heard the intro played by Puff Daddy, or whatever his alias was at the time. He even had a performance with Jimmy and Robert once. But, the familiarity aside, the big thing about this song is that it is loved especially by girls. Seems that Kashmir does something to girls, what guys do not understand. Can you guess what it is? Watching your reaction I saw that you caught it and even complained that the song ending so soon. P.S. Celebration Day performance was OK, good even, but it no longer had that magic. Nor was it in 1979 live performance, something was gone. Funny thing, I heard a Japanese string quartet trying to recreate that very Kashmir moment, still...

As soon as the music started I thought of Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

....I will return again....sure as the dust that floats high in June....we're..moving..through.. Kashmir!!!! and when I see the way you stay.....

Knebworth 1979 live is awesome.

Subscribers are going up!!!

Zeppelin Live Live Live!!!

In the movie The Matrix I think that's where you heard this music.

The guitar tuning is called DadGad

Live should be 1979, Knewborth or 1975 Earl’s Court

Goats!

We're have u been I loved your reviews especially your reaction to led Zeppelin. I hope u r doing well.

Jimmy page and P. Diddy collaborated and reworked Kashmir, with rap lyrics, for the Godzilla soundtrack in the 90s or early 2000s!

Just and FYI Ari Kashmir is Robert Plants favorite song.

Puff Daddy sampled Kashmir on his 1999 song, Come With Me.

The beat is similar to Ravel's Bolero

You should watch the one in knebworth

Please react to Jeff Buckley - Grace (BBC Late Show).

I think P Diddy did this song with Jimmy Page. I also think this song has been in a movie too.

It feels like a camel ride through the desert. On mushrooms. And yeah, I hear violins to.

I remember seeing Puff with Jimmy Page playing guitar on a TV show,, I cannot remember the name,maybe SNL ,, and the music from Kashmir was used by Puff ..There is an official video called Come With Me .... and this is a live version. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-60ZYG3AIcwk.html

The greatest band that ever walked the planet case dismissed led zeppelin best band ever and ever will be nothing can compare sorry to the other rock bands led zeppelin makes them look like beginner's

It's a Mellotron.

BTW... Love your look ;)

Just hearing you. There was no such things as samples then. It was Jimmy, John , John Paul and Robert. That's it. Right???
