The best version of this song I’ve ever heard. Period. For me, there is no other version and it’s why I truly admire Plant’s decision and desire to have put Zeppelin to bed with this show. They were at their best on this night. They couldn’t top this. And Plant knew it. They had had mini reunions here and there and they never quite captured themselves. Those get togethers were not great representatives of what they were at their peak. That’s why when this show started there was all of this pressure to not just be good but to match their peak while also erasing the unsatisfactory get togethers of the sort of recent past. When I first heard this, I cried. I cried for the love of music, the power, the drama and the production. I also cried in admiration for them. They did it. They erased the distaste of the last couple of reunions and put a ribbon in a career that will NEVER be equaled.
I saw Zeppelin perform Kashmir in 1977. It was THE highlight of the concert. Since Zeppelin ended in 1980, no performance of Kashmir has been as powerful as the 2007 O2 performance. And this is an official recording, so the power and the dynamics are all there. Beats the 1975 studio version by 100.
Really? I would have to disagree. The original studio version is by far the best in my opinion. But even if we limit it to just live performances, I would have to say the drumming in this one is off and the singing lacks conviction. Mind you, I grew up in an area where the radio played something from Led Zeppelin at least once an hour, so the quality of the studio version is burnt into my brain.
I swear, Jason Bonham plays at a level that his dad did. Gotta believe that John is peaking down from heaven and cheering on his son. This brings tears to this old man's eyes. Thanks for not pausing this, Sabina! Brava.
When Led Zeppelin played Knebworth in '79, Jimmy Page was rehearsing on stage, and John Bonham was playing drums, John wanted to go down to the front to hear what the sound was like, 14 year old Jason took over, it was 5 minutes before Jimmy turned around and saw it was Jason on drums, he hadn't noticed.
Robert Plant is amazing. I grew up listening to this band. Unlike most singers from his era, he has not lost any of his voice, and this version of Kashmir, in my opinion, is the best they have ever performed! Although they lost their original drummer, his son Jason is amazing! Thank you for this reaction video!
I was at the Madison Square Garden concert on Saturday night in 1973. That was the most memorable concert ever. Marine Corp friend got 4 tickets. I rode a bus from Jackson Ms to NYC. Stayed at his and his Ole Lady's apt. She hooked me up with her cousin. One helluv a weekend. 8 mths later after 500. Phone calls she came south. We just celebrated 48 years together ❤️
I think you'll find that every Zep fan on the planet will appreciate the respect you have for not pausing or talking over them, many reactors feel the need to tell the viewer what they're thinking and lets face it, Zep don't need that at all.
They also played on May 14 1988 for Atlantic Records 40Th anniversary they played with Jason and performed Kashmir, Heartbreaker, Whole Lotta Love, Misty mountain hop, and Stairway to Heaven
This song is 48 years old, and sounds as fresh and powerful as it did in 1975. The album this track comes from is arguably their greatest album, and one of the greatest Rock albums of all time. This band are the GOATs, and the diversity and quality of their catalog will surprise and amaze you.
I had just gotten out of the service in Nov 74 and this was the first album I bought when I got settled. I lived upstairs from a record store called "Licorice pizzas" It was great therapy to help get the gunfire out of my head.
I nearly cried watching your reaction. Thank you for 'getting it' like you did. No band greater, no singer more Charismatic than Robert, no greater song - ever.
In hundreds of years, If humans are still here and have preserved this work and the ability to play and display it, it will be perceived and held in the same level of cultural importance as Bach, Beethoven and Mozart are to us. This is just gorgeous...
Sabina, you are (1) of the only media personalities to let the song play without interrupting it to share your thoughts, allowing younger listeners that never heard it before the 'experience' they deserve. You merely typed over the image with a few reactions which made this a special "reaction" video in that you showed restraint & respect for the Band & this song that very few commentators have shown. Because of this I admire your review as you let the music & the Band do the talking. i am now (1) of your many fans because of your wisdom regarding not interrupting this re-play of the Band's best re-union. This "Concert" was dedicated to "Ahmet Ertugen" the President of ATCO (formerly Atlantic Records) who 1st 'signed' "LED ZEPPELIN" to their 1st 'Record Deal' back in late 1968. Their 1st Record was a 'Killer' recording released in 1969 that hit the States like a Hurricane, EVERYBODY listened to it repeatedly and most bought a copy !! "Jimmy Page" (guitarist) had 1st asked "Terry Reid" (singer/songwriter) to be the singer but he declined. Then 'Jimmy' asked "Keith Moon' & "John Entwistle" (Drummer & Bassist from "The Who") to be the Rhythm Section & they also declined.. 'Jimmy' was 1st a 'session player' & knew veteran session player "'John Paul Jones" & asked him to play the Bass & he accepted !!! 'John' said he knew a talented drummer named "John Bonham" & took 'Jimmy' to see him play. 'Jimmy' was blown away & asked him to be the drummer & he accepted !! "'John Bonham" said he knew an undiscovered singer named "'Robert Plant" so they auditioned ''Robert' & again 'Jimmy' was blown away & asked him to join the Group & he accepted !! Back when 'Kieth Moon' was talking to 'Jimmy', 'Keith asked him; "What kind of music will this 'new' Band play ??" 'Jimmy replied, "Blues Rock'. Keith said jokingly "That will go over like a "Lead Zeppelin." A subtle change in spelling & they had a name. 'Jimmy' had earned some 'Studio Time' as a session player in exchange for his playing & used this time to record their 1st album, which 'Jimmy' also '"Produced" !! They recorded their 1st record quickly in 2 weeks !! "Ahmet Ertugen" heard this recording & signed them immediately !! Back to this Concert, 40 years later "Ahmet" had slipped backstage at a "Rolling Stones" Concert & banged his head putting him in a coma. "Ahmet Ertugen" died less than 2 weeks later & many Atlantic Records Artists decided to join in a Concert Benefit & Celebration of "Ahmet Ertugen's" Life. "John Bonham", "Led Zeppelins" only drummer had died in the late '70s so for this Concert his Son "Jason Bonham" was asked to take his father's place in the Band. "Led Zeppelin" was 'too big' to play with the other Atlantic Records Artists & held their own ''Celebration of Life' Concert' which was the largest event of any of the other shows. I had seen the Band at Madison Square Garden, N.Y.C. This concert 40 years later had a new sound system & light show & was recorded with new cameras & video equipment. (Story recounted by Steve Bondy). Search 'TH-cam' using my name & see me play guitar.
Actually, according to many interviews with Jimmy Page, Terry Reid recommended Robert Plant, and Robert recommended John Bonham. They were in The Band of Joy together. 😊
When they were rehearsing for this concert with Jason taking his dad's place, Jimmy and Robert would look back at Jason every so often. They both thought it was John playing the drums. Jason's dad taught him well. The best version of Kashmir EVER! In fact they were at their best for the whole concert.
I heard them live four times. When they began a song you always heard the murmur of recognition, and some applause, in the audience for each song. Just play the first few notes of "Dazed and Confused" to understand that. "Kashmir" was released on the Physical Graffiti album. I heard them play it in concert a few months before the album was released. The audience at that moment in the concert was stunned because they didn't recognize the song. It focused everyone. They also introduced "In My Time of Dying" at that concert. Same amazing phenomenon, everyone listening hard because this was never heard before. No opening act, almost no stage banter from Plant, no pauses for tuning, improvisation on every song, continuous music sometimes for three hours. I heard a lot of bands live, but there was nothing like a Led Zeppelin concert.
First time I heard this song I was in a small andalusian city called Vejer de la Frontera, in front of the marocco coast. The bar where I was was part of an Arabian style wall and had a small lookout to the sea where I listened to the song with a friend, who asked to play it on a powerful stereo. There was a full moon, which illuminated the sea and reached the coast in front of us. And when the song started, someone brought a joint of hash and cold water. I'll never forget Robert Plant's voice and the hypnotic and grandiose rhythm that Bonzo put into it. Extraordinary.
I saw Led Zeppelin live 7 times. First time in 1969, and last time in 1979. They just got better and better every time. This performance is absolutely incredible, and I only wish I could have got tickets for the show to see them one final time. I totally agree ,Robert's voice is an amazing instrument, Jimmy and John Paul are also the best there is, and always have been. I'm certain Jason is equally on a par with his dad, and you can see the passion in his technique.
I think it is awesome that the youth of today will stop and listen to the greats of my days. Saw Led Zeppelin in 1977!!! Still to this day my favorite concert!!! Seeing how this kept pulling you deeper brought tears of joy to my eyes!
You are NOT the first young lady who might want to bear his child! Such is the talent and charm of Robert Plant who today is 74 years young. I first heard "Kashmir", which is off the Physical Graffiti album when it was released, in 1975. I was 19 going on 20 at that time, and it cemented my admiration for this band. Led Zeppelin is a great band who's power to move an audience hasn't changed at all.
The first time that I saw Led Zeppelin was at the Rose Palace in Pasadena, California in 1969. Left a hell of an impression. I saw them two more times at Arizona State University in the early 1970s. They were excellent, but this version of Kashmir takes it to an entirely new level.
Great reaction! Love your style. I was a teenager when Led Zeppelin was a band. (1968-1980). In July of 1968, when Jimmy Page formed the band, Robert Plant was 19, John Bonham had just turned 20, John Paul Jones was 23, and Jimmy Page 24. I had such a crush on all of them but especially Robert and Jimmy 😍😍. Now in my sixties, I cried through this whole concert. Robert Plant was 59 here, Jimmy Page 63, and John Paul Jones 62. John Bonham RIP, his son Jason played on his dad’s original drums, fulfilling his life long dream of playing a concert with his father’s band mates. IMHO, this is the best version of Kashmir ever. It has always been the band’s masterpiece but, something about the maturity and experience of the three original band members plus Jason killing it in the drums, took it to a higher level. For me, Led Zeppelin will always be the best rock band ever. Because of your reaction to LZ and my favorite song, Kashmir, I have subscribed to your channel. I hope you react to more Led Zeppelin. I might just become a Patreon member if so. 😉🥰
And having Jason Bonham (John Bonham's son, the original drummer who sadly died in 1980) on drums was like a total blast from the past! Not quite as good as dad, but right up there. 😍🥰 Luckily I saw them twice while Bonzo was still alive, in Seattle in 1975 (at the tail end of their almost 2 year long world tour), and again at one of the many Day On The Green concerts, in Oakland, CA., July 1977 (with Peter Frampton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Santana, and the Outlaws).
This was from the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert. There was 20 million hits for tickets when it was announced Led Zeppelin would be reforming for a one off gig in honour of their friend Ehmet. Jason Bonham, John Bonhams son played drums. You should check out Hearts performance of Stairway to heaven from the Tribute to Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Centre Honours. They performed it in front of the members of Led Zeppelin.
First time hearing "Kashmir?" Live, Nassau Collosium, NY City, Feb 1975, two weeks before the release of "Physical Graffiti." I forget the set, but when "Kashmir" started, it immediately captured our attention and held it for its entirety. The entire audience sat quietly and listened intently as we were hypnotized by the performance as the song looped and looped around again. We exploded into applause and cheer, springing to our feet in appreciation. Page smiled to the band, turn to the admiring crowd and mouthed a, thank you, as he bowed slightly in acknowledgment. Plant tried to silent us down, but we weren't having it. Amazing. Absolutely amazing!!
The Drummer is Jason Bonham, His Dad John was the Original Drummer and he passed away many years ago.. This was the last show they would ever do ..He is playing his fathers drum kit he used on the album and the tour for the album in 1975
I was SO pumped that Robert was able to nail the big note transitioning the breakdown back into the primary riff (i.e., "Trying to find we're I've beeeeeeeeeeen"). It's such a powerful part of the song, and the vocals bridging the transition are what make it so fantastic.
In a press conference, the band said they felt this was the most important gig they would ever play. They took so much care in developing the set list, and rehearsed for three months to get the sound how they wanted it. They really did it for the fans.
It don’t get better, and never will...the GOATS! There are a bunch of groups I love. Zeppelin will always bet the number one group of all times!😎👏😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yes, goosebumps all around! I love how you let the song play through and text your feelings on the screen, rather that stopping the music in the middle.
April 8, 1970 - I saw Led Zeppelin perform in Dorton Arena, Raleigh, North Carolina. They had released 2 albums at that point. Zep returned for 4 encores and on the 4th, RP said "We don't have anymore songs!" Suggestions from the crowd rang out. The next thing I knew is they said "We'll do Blue Suede Shoes." I thought it a strange one to choose, but now I understand the whole blues influence on the band from the start. The best and my most cherished concert I've ever been to!
Have now subscribed as you had the good grace to listen to the whole performance first, before making any audio comments. Your facial expressions, body language and typed comments were more than enough to convey how you felt as you listened. 👍
I saw them with my older cousins, as a 15 year old in 1977. And 30 years later (this was 2007) it was, if anything, better. Even with John’s son on the drums. Yes children, GIANTS did walk the earth in the 1970’s, and they still, on rare occasions, awaken to stomp again. 🤘🏼❤️
The best band ever to take the stage.. Hands down. Can't say enough about them all and Jason... Close your eyes and you would not have a doubt that it was John had you not known better
History. Mid 70s. Hamburg, Germany. The "Green Apple" club. I was 16 and normally it was forbidden to go to this club after 10pm. We came in and a "disco cube" was shining above the dance floor. I had done my first LSD trip (Yellow Sunshine). A huge lightshow for the time. And then came "Kashmir". That was one of the first, but absolutely best drug experiences of my life. The music, together with the strobe lights, was pure madness. I felt like I had been dancing for hours. An incredible night that I still remember today (I'm now 64 years old). Ps. This is not a call to take drugs. The drugs and the times were different back then.
TY - love your reaction. They aged well. It is hard to grow in popularity as an artist or a band get's further away in time from release. The Mighty Zep is as popular today as 40 years ago when John Bonham died (All hail Bonzo), and the band stopped...they did not break up. There was, is, nor can there be, Led Zeppelin without John Bonham in it. The greatest band of all time. Not even close.
The fact that you let a song play and post comments below is outstanding. No start, stop, start. I immediately subscribed and hit that notification bell. You can rest assured that I will be on the watch out for more material in the future. In the meantime I'm going to check out past reactions. Have a good day.
I haven’t seen this performance but as a Rush fan who loves Zeppelin this makes me think Zeppelin can’t be topped in many ways. Just incredible…Page and Plant showing their true transcendence.
i would love to hear Led back in the day with todays recording abilities..... they would be untouchable... the sound of the instruments on this is so much more present than the old recordings.
The expressions on your face, young lady, made watching this video even more enjoyable than usual. It is so good to see young people discovering, what my generation discovered in our youth. I was 15, when I fell in love with this band, back in 1971, when I first heard Stairway to Heaven. Long after my generation are all gone, you will be able to listen to this, with your grandchildren. I wish I could live another 100 years to keep listening to this anthem.
If you like Robert Plant, you might look up anything from his album, Raising Sand, with Alison Krauss. It won five Grammys in 2009, including album of the year. You can watch some of those songs live on a CMT Crossroads performance as well. The chemistry between Plant and Krauss is amazing. I especially like "Gone Gone Gone,""Killing the Blues," and "Please Read the Letter."
As a fan who's been listening to Zeppelin for over 50 years, this has to be my favorite song. I bought this album, Physical Graffiti, when it came out back in high school in 1975. This performance was 27 years after they stopped playing, when their drummer John Bonham died. His son Jason was drumming here, on his father's drum kit from back in the seventies.
this is afantastic performance and robert has to be one of the few ...if not the only old school rock singers that can still hit all the notes without effort ...
If I remember correctly I think lead singer Robert plant is 65 years old when he sang this . Absolutely brilliant performance. I remember a couple of their songs hope they release this next year for the songs 50th anniversary
This was written when they were in Morocco in 1974 and released on the Physical Graffiti album in 1975. Jason Bonham inherited his father, Bonzo’s skills on the drums, and calls Robert, Jimmy and John Paul his three uncles whom he said were always there for him after his father died. John Paul played the bass part with his left leg whilst keeping the song moving forward on the multiple keyboards. Jimmy Page, by this time had cleaned his act up, and his driving riff was the end of an unnamed song. He has a great YT upload where he gives a tutorial on how to play this riff to Edge (U2) and Jack White (White Stripes). Both look like munchkins in the presence of Jimmy. Finally, we get to Robert Plant, whose voice is so iconic, and didn’t appear to diminish in strength or power forty years after the original track was laid down over thirty years ago by the time this live edition was recorded. No gimmicks, auto tuning, etc., just pure raw talent. This music will be in good hands long after my generation has died because of the generations like yourself who appreciate real music. Love your reaction and comments, and thank you for waiting until the end to give your reaction.
I was a kid. It was a combination of orchestra and rock and roll with a huge middle eastern vibe. This is what separated Led Zeppelin from everyone else. They were so experimental even after they were the biggest band in the world. The crescendo when Plant holds the vocal and the beat drops is one of the great moments in rock & roll.
I heard the album and was blown away by the flavor of the music the style is based on Hindu music which gives it that foreign sound. This is a drummer's song so it relies on that heavy beat, and on the album John Bonham really brings it in a mystical performance that is unparalleled.
I was 20 when this came out. I had bought the album and heard it the first time then. For this particular concert there was 20,000 tickets available. There 2 millions requests for tickets, The computers crashed and burned. Have a good day.. .
Is here is one of the best songs that Zeppelin have ever done. I was so lucky to be there. This WILL be play at my funeral. RIP John Bonham Thanks for sharing this.
The first time that I heard Kashmir was on December 7th 1979. It was playing on the pa while waiting for the who concert to start. A little fact here and yes I know I'm not the only person to mention it, John Henry Bonham was the original drummer for zeppelin. This particular performance featured his son Jason on the drums. He is the only drummer qualified to play with zeppelin.
Your reactions gave me even more chills over the chills/goosebumps I was already getting. I got to interview Robert Plant once. Let me tell you. He's super charismatic in "real life" too and a super nice guy
I agree with everything you said!! I've seen & heard this song live quite a few times, and yet, IMHO, this is the best version. 32 years after it's release on "Physical Graffiti" and they can still knock it out of the park!!
The last show..having seen these guys collectively and individually dozens of times, this was truly the end of and era..i get choked up thinking about it.
Thank you so much for this reaction. I am glad that it finally got unblocked. When I was much younger (aeons ago) and i listened to it the first time, i was blown away, and still to this day the song gives me many goosebumps. I am sure, you will reach 100k subs soon and i am proud to be a member of your patreon. You thanked us for supporting you, now i will thank you for reacting to such great music.
What is there more to say the best band period. The song Kahmir epic. And ja Robert Plant the legend the king the voice of rock. Love your reaction Sabina
I’ve always loved this song since my first listen in the 70s. This performance takes it to the next level, Jason Bonham’s drumming in his fathers absents hits in the feels big time. What a Great Band!
I went to see Robert Plant on the 13th and 14th August at The Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, BC!! Robert Plant sounds amazing still and such a great guy!! Cost me alot but I paid for the Meet and Greet!! ❤😊
My all time LedZep favourite track, Crank it up to 11 :) I got goosebumps all the way through.. The drummer Jason Bonham is so passionate because he is playing for his Dad John Bonham who was the original drummer. Its a fantastic song I even had a tear or two seeing Jason drumming.
05:24 the Phrygian transition is absolutely amazing 🤘Also, R.I.P. John Bonham, one of the greatest drummers of all time. Should be in this reunion. 😥 Great reaction, keep it coming please! 😊

Not seen the live kebworth version then
There are versions from the No quarter era (just Page and Plant, not Led Zeppelin), with an Egyptian orchestra, that are really really stunning too.
Really? I would have to disagree. The original studio version is by far the best in my opinion. But even if we limit it to just live performances, I would have to say the drumming in this one is off and the singing lacks conviction.

The power of the Zeppelin.
I think you'll find that every Zep fan on the planet will appreciate the respect you have for not pausing or talking over them, many reactors feel the need to tell the viewer what they're thinking and lets face it, Zep don't need that at all.
Totally and completely agree with you. I hate it when reactors pause the video to talk over it. I normally switch off, as soon as that happens.
The group broke up in 1980, when drummer John Bonham died. This was a one time reunion concert in 2007, with Bonham's son on drums.
And they were as good as ever! It's amazing.
They also played on May 14 1988 for Atlantic Records 40Th anniversary they played with Jason and performed Kashmir, Heartbreaker, Whole Lotta Love, Misty mountain hop, and Stairway to Heaven

Sounds better than the 1975 version
Every album is arguably their greatest. They’re almost undeniably the greatest rock band of all time.
@@pressoncyep, just ask Jack Black
I like how she captions her thoughts over the video instead of speaking over it. Well done, and thank you from an old Zep fan🥇

I believe the Celebration Concert was the greatest rock concert of all time, bar none. Kashmir is, bar none, the greatest rock song in history.
I have a ton of live Zeppelin recordings and this is the best live version of Kashmir I've ever heard.
Absolutely. Nothing I’ve ever heard comes close to this. Same with “In My Time Of Dying” from the same show.
Nope. Knebworth 79.

Back when 'Kieth Moon' was talking to 'Jimmy', 'Keith asked him; "What kind of music will this 'new' Band play ??" 'Jimmy replied, "Blues Rock'. Keith said jokingly "That will go over like a "Lead Zeppelin." A subtle change in spelling & they had a name. 'Jimmy' had earned some 'Studio Time' as a session player in exchange for his playing & used this time to record their 1st album, which 'Jimmy' also '"Produced" !! They recorded their 1st record quickly in 2 weeks !! "Ahmet Ertugen" heard this recording & signed them immediately !! Back to this Concert, 40 years later "Ahmet" had slipped backstage at a "Rolling Stones" Concert & banged his head putting him in a coma. "Ahmet Ertugen" died less than 2 weeks later & many Atlantic Records Artists decided to join in a Concert Benefit & Celebration of "Ahmet Ertugen's" Life. "John Bonham", "Led Zeppelins" only drummer had died in the late '70s so for this Concert his Son "Jason Bonham" was asked to take his father's place in the Band. "Led Zeppelin" was 'too big' to play with the other Atlantic Records Artists & held their own ''Celebration of Life' Concert' which was the largest event of any of the other shows. I had seen the Band at Madison Square Garden, N.Y.C. This concert 40 years later had a new sound system & light show & was recorded with new cameras & video equipment. (Story recounted by Steve Bondy). Search 'TH-cam' using my name & see me play guitar.
Actually, according to many interviews with Jimmy Page, Terry Reid recommended Robert Plant, and Robert recommended John Bonham. They were in The Band of Joy together. 😊
Hats off to the drummer. He had some really big shoes to fill. Great job!!!
When they were rehearsing for this concert with Jason taking his dad's place, Jimmy and Robert would look back at Jason every so often. They both thought it was John playing the drums. Jason's dad taught him well. The best version of Kashmir EVER! In fact they were at their best for the whole concert.
There will never be a band such as this. Robert’s high pitch vocals overwhelmed me it just brought me to tears. THEY! ARE! THE! ROCK!
I heard them live four times. When they began a song you always heard the murmur of recognition, and some applause, in the audience for each song. Just play the first few notes of "Dazed and Confused" to understand that.
"Kashmir" was released on the Physical Graffiti album. I heard them play it in concert a few months before the album was released. The audience at that moment in the concert was stunned because they didn't recognize the song. It focused everyone.
They also introduced "In My Time of Dying" at that concert. Same amazing phenomenon, everyone listening hard because this was never heard before.
No opening act, almost no stage banter from Plant, no pauses for tuning, improvisation on every song, continuous music sometimes for three hours.
I heard a lot of bands live, but there was nothing like a Led Zeppelin concert.
First time I heard this song I was in a small andalusian city called Vejer de la Frontera, in front of the marocco coast. The bar where I was was part of an Arabian style wall and had a small lookout to the sea where I listened to the song with a friend, who asked to play it on a powerful stereo.
There was a full moon, which illuminated the sea and reached the coast in front of us.
And when the song started, someone brought a joint of hash and cold water. I'll never forget Robert Plant's voice and the hypnotic and grandiose rhythm that Bonzo put into it. Extraordinary.
I saw Led Zeppelin live 7 times. First time in 1969, and last time in 1979. They just got better and better every time. This performance is absolutely incredible, and I only wish I could have got tickets for the show to see them one final time. I totally agree ,Robert's voice is an amazing instrument, Jimmy and John Paul are also the best there is, and always have been. I'm certain Jason is equally on a par with his dad, and you can see the passion in his technique.
I think it is awesome that the youth of today will stop and listen to the greats of my days.
Saw Led Zeppelin in 1977!!! Still to this day my favorite concert!!!
Seeing how this kept pulling you deeper brought tears of joy to my eyes!
You are NOT the first young lady who might want to bear his child! Such is the talent and charm of Robert Plant who today is 74 years young. I first heard "Kashmir", which is off the Physical Graffiti album when it was released, in 1975. I was 19 going on 20 at that time, and it cemented my admiration for this band. Led Zeppelin is a great band who's power to move an audience hasn't changed at all.
WOW WOW WOW!! This performance was mindblowing. I can watch this over and over again!!!
Same ‼️❤️
The first time that I saw Led Zeppelin was at the Rose Palace in Pasadena, California in 1969. Left a hell of an impression. I saw them two more times at Arizona State University in the early 1970s. They were excellent, but this version of Kashmir takes it to an entirely new level.
Great reaction! Love your style. I was a teenager when Led Zeppelin was a band. (1968-1980). In July of 1968, when Jimmy Page formed the band, Robert Plant was 19, John Bonham had just turned 20, John Paul Jones was 23, and Jimmy Page 24. I had such a crush on all of them but especially Robert and Jimmy 😍😍. Now in my sixties, I cried through this whole concert. Robert Plant was 59 here, Jimmy Page 63, and John Paul Jones 62. John Bonham RIP, his son Jason played on his dad’s original drums, fulfilling his life long dream of playing a concert with his father’s band mates. IMHO, this is the best version of Kashmir ever. It has always been the band’s masterpiece but, something about the maturity and experience of the three original band members plus Jason killing it in the drums, took it to a higher level. For me, Led Zeppelin will always be the best rock band ever. Because of your reaction to LZ and my favorite song, Kashmir, I have subscribed to your channel. I hope you react to more Led Zeppelin. I might just become a Patreon member if so. 😉🥰
I was 14 when led zep debut on stage in Denmark ,, how many more times!!! And at 68 they are still are the best band on the planet
The old man still has it in him. You can tell he’s a legend even if you didn’t know who he is. He just gives off that vibe.
A+ as you played the song WITHOUT interruption, BRAVO! This is the way to do reaction vids. Plants voice is AWESOME!
Thanks!
In their age of experience and maturity over time, this was a masterpiece performance.
Sometimes in life, magic happens. Led Zep was one of those times. Right place, right time.
Best Band Ever.
...PERIOD ...😊
And having Jason Bonham (John Bonham's son, the original drummer who sadly died in 1980) on drums was like a total blast from the past! Not quite as good as dad, but right up there. 😍🥰 Luckily I saw them twice while Bonzo was still alive, in Seattle in 1975 (at the tail end of their almost 2 year long world tour), and again at one of the many Day On The Green concerts, in Oakland, CA., July 1977 (with Peter Frampton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Santana, and the Outlaws).
The whole Celebration Day concert is amazing. To be honest, I think Robert Plant's voice has gotten a richer over time.
This was from the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert. There was 20 million hits for tickets when it was announced Led Zeppelin would be reforming for a one off gig in honour of their friend Ehmet. Jason Bonham, John Bonhams son played drums. You should check out Hearts performance of Stairway to heaven from the Tribute to Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Centre Honours. They performed it in front of the members of Led Zeppelin.
Fully agree with you I was to this time in new Zealand and bought the mothership if i had get a ticket i wehre flow to London They are Gods
She watched it on a livestream.
I still feel the Heart versions are over done. Unnecessary
First time hearing "Kashmir?" Live, Nassau Collosium, NY City, Feb 1975, two weeks before the release of "Physical Graffiti." I forget the set, but when "Kashmir" started, it immediately captured our attention and held it for its entirety. The entire audience sat quietly and listened intently as we were hypnotized by the performance as the song looped and looped around again. We exploded into applause and cheer, springing to our feet in appreciation. Page smiled to the band, turn to the admiring crowd and mouthed a, thank you, as he bowed slightly in acknowledgment. Plant tried to silent us down, but we weren't having it. Amazing. Absolutely amazing!!
The Drummer is Jason Bonham, His Dad John was the Original Drummer and he passed away many years ago.. This was the last show they would ever do ..He is playing his fathers drum kit he used on the album and the tour for the album in 1975
I was SO pumped that Robert was able to nail the big note transitioning the breakdown back into the primary riff (i.e., "Trying to find we're I've beeeeeeeeeeen"). It's such a powerful part of the song, and the vocals bridging the transition are what make it so fantastic.
The line is "trying to find, the way I feel" but yea
In a press conference, the band said they felt this was the most important gig they would ever play. They took so much care in developing the set list, and rehearsed for three months to get the sound how they wanted it. They really did it for the fans.
It don’t get better, and never will...the GOATS! There are a bunch of groups I love. Zeppelin will always bet the number one group of all times!😎👏😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ditto....the best in the Galaxy!
The best review of the best song ever. Cheers 👍
Can you imagine if that lineup would tour today?? The hunger for real music out there they’d own the world.
Or just a new album, maybe to coincide with Jimmy’s 80th birthday?
They already did own the world, their music still does. Greatest band EVER, with the greatest music EVER.
This is the definitive version of the song. Jason Bonham gives his soul on those drums, same as his late father. Massive respect to him!
Yes, goosebumps all around! I love how you let the song play through and text your feelings on the screen, rather that stopping the music in the middle.
Thank you for not stopping and giving your views till the end ! Awesome
My pleasure 🥰
April 8, 1970 - I saw Led Zeppelin perform in Dorton Arena, Raleigh, North Carolina. They had released 2 albums at that point. Zep returned for 4 encores and on the 4th, RP said "We don't have anymore songs!" Suggestions from the crowd rang out. The next thing I knew is they said "We'll do Blue Suede Shoes." I thought it a strange one to choose, but now I understand the whole blues influence on the band from the start. The best and my most cherished concert I've ever been to!
Have now subscribed as you had the good grace to listen to the whole performance first, before making any audio comments. Your facial expressions, body language and typed comments were more than enough to convey how you felt as you listened. 👍
Thank you and welcome!!
I saw them with my older cousins, as a 15 year old in 1977. And 30 years later (this was 2007) it was, if anything, better. Even with John’s son on the drums. Yes children, GIANTS did walk the earth in the 1970’s, and they still, on rare occasions, awaken to stomp again. 🤘🏼❤️
The best band ever to take the stage.. Hands down. Can't say enough about them all and Jason... Close your eyes and you would not have a doubt that it was John had you not known better
The joy on your face Sabina at 10:02 says it all.
Fabulous reaction! Bravo!
Thanks!
History. Mid 70s. Hamburg, Germany. The "Green Apple" club. I was 16 and normally it was forbidden to go to this club after 10pm. We came in and a "disco cube" was shining above the dance floor. I had done my first LSD trip (Yellow Sunshine). A huge lightshow for the time. And then came "Kashmir". That was one of the first, but absolutely best drug experiences of my life. The music, together with the strobe lights, was pure madness. I felt like I had been dancing for hours. An incredible night that I still remember today (I'm now 64 years old).
Ps. This is not a call to take drugs. The drugs and the times were different back then.
TY - love your reaction. They aged well. It is hard to grow in popularity as an artist or a band get's further away in time from release. The Mighty Zep is as popular today as 40 years ago when John Bonham died (All hail Bonzo), and the band stopped...they did not break up. There was, is, nor can there be, Led Zeppelin without John Bonham in it. The greatest band of all time. Not even close.
The fact that you let a song play and post comments below is outstanding. No start, stop, start. I immediately subscribed and hit that notification bell. You can rest assured that I will be on the watch out for more material in the future. In the meantime I'm going to check out past reactions. Have a good day.
I haven’t seen this performance but as a Rush fan who loves Zeppelin this makes me think Zeppelin can’t be topped in many ways. Just incredible…Page and Plant showing their true transcendence.
This is Zeppelin at their best.
Love your on-screen comments. You nail it each time. This is a great song and a great performance of this song.
i would love to hear Led back in the day with todays recording abilities..... they would be untouchable... the sound of the instruments on this is so much more present than the old recordings.
The expressions on your face, young lady, made watching this video even more enjoyable than usual. It is so good to see young people discovering, what my generation discovered in our youth. I was 15, when I fell in love with this band, back in 1971, when I first heard Stairway to Heaven. Long after my generation are all gone, you will be able to listen to this, with your grandchildren. I wish I could live another 100 years to keep listening to this anthem.
Not only my favorite Led Zeppelin song, but my favorite rock song. I saw it live in 1977, but this is my favorite version.
If you like Robert Plant, you might look up anything from his album, Raising Sand, with Alison Krauss. It won five Grammys in 2009, including album of the year. You can watch some of those songs live on a CMT Crossroads performance as well. The chemistry between Plant and Krauss is amazing. I especially like "Gone Gone Gone,""Killing the Blues," and "Please Read the Letter."
As a fan who's been listening to Zeppelin for over 50 years, this has to be my favorite song.
I bought this album, Physical Graffiti, when it came out back in high school in 1975.
This performance was 27 years after they stopped playing, when their drummer John Bonham died. His son Jason was drumming here, on his father's drum kit from back in the seventies.
I first heard this song from the album when it came out 😊
I saw Led Zeppelin live in Oakland California in 1977. The best concert I’ve ever seen.😊
It was an incredible night and an end to an era. Thanks!
A great Blues song by Led Zeppelin it’s called tea for one. It is a must listen.😊❤
this is afantastic performance and robert has to be one of the few ...if not the only old school rock singers that can still hit all the notes without effort ...
They are The Best Rock Band ever!!!
If I remember correctly I think lead singer Robert plant is 65 years old when he sang this . Absolutely brilliant performance. I remember a couple of their songs hope they release this next year for the songs 50th anniversary
1974 Madison Square Garden. High School senior with my honey. Sue Ann and I were blown away by the entire concert. Great reaction.
This was written when they were in Morocco in 1974 and released on the Physical Graffiti album in 1975. Jason Bonham inherited his father, Bonzo’s skills on the drums, and calls Robert, Jimmy and John Paul his three uncles whom he said were always there for him after his father died. John Paul played the bass part with his left leg whilst keeping the song moving forward on the multiple keyboards. Jimmy Page, by this time had cleaned his act up, and his driving riff was the end of an unnamed song. He has a great YT upload where he gives a tutorial on how to play this riff to Edge (U2) and Jack White (White Stripes). Both look like munchkins in the presence of Jimmy. Finally, we get to Robert Plant, whose voice is so iconic, and didn’t appear to diminish in strength or power forty years after the original track was laid down over thirty years ago by the time this live edition was recorded. No gimmicks, auto tuning, etc., just pure raw talent. This music will be in good hands long after my generation has died because of the generations like yourself who appreciate real music. Love your reaction and comments, and thank you for waiting until the end to give your reaction.
They don’t write music like this anymore. The transitions are spotless
I was a kid. It was a combination of orchestra and rock and roll with a huge middle eastern vibe. This is what separated Led Zeppelin from everyone else. They were so experimental even after they were the biggest band in the world. The crescendo when Plant holds the vocal and the beat drops is one of the great moments in rock & roll.
I heard the album and was blown away by the flavor of the music the style is based on Hindu music which gives it that foreign sound. This is a drummer's song so it relies on that heavy beat, and on the album John Bonham really brings it in a mystical performance that is unparalleled.
I was 20 when this came out. I had bought the album and heard it the first time then. For this particular concert there was 20,000 tickets available. There 2 millions requests for tickets, The computers crashed and burned. Have a good day.. .
Sabina your face during the video says much more than any comment ! BTW be grateful to your mum and dad for choosing such a beautiful italian name !
Thank you for not pausing to speak. The notes on screen was a great addition to this reaction!
Thanks!!
LED ZEPPELIN DOUNDED a new Music Genre: "Hard Rock" or "Heavy Metal"" NOTHING was heard BEFORE...!!!
Is here is one of the best songs that Zeppelin have ever done. I was so lucky to be there. This WILL be play at my funeral. RIP John Bonham Thanks for sharing this.
The first time that I heard Kashmir was on December 7th 1979. It was playing on the pa while waiting for the who concert to start. A little fact here and yes I know I'm not the only person to mention it, John Henry Bonham was the original drummer for zeppelin. This particular performance featured his son Jason on the drums. He is the only drummer qualified to play with zeppelin.
Your reactions gave me even more chills over the chills/goosebumps I was already getting. I got to interview Robert Plant once. Let me tell you. He's super charismatic in "real life" too and a super nice guy
I saw them in 76 and yes they were awesome ,So glad people like you are going back and giving them a listen
I agree with everything you said!! I've seen & heard this song live quite a few times, and yet, IMHO, this is the best version. 32 years after it's release on "Physical Graffiti" and they can still knock it out of the park!!
The last show..having seen these guys collectively and individually dozens of times, this was truly the end of and era..i get choked up thinking about it.
This Just emphasises why they’re the best there’s ever been
Thank you so much for this reaction. I am glad that it finally got unblocked. When I was much younger (aeons ago) and i listened to it the first time, i was blown away, and still to this day the song gives me many goosebumps. I am sure, you will reach 100k subs soon and i am proud to be a member of your patreon. You thanked us for supporting you, now i will thank you for reacting to such great music.
I agree, love it. Maybe my favourite LZ song 🔥🔥🔥
LED Zeppelin fue , es, y será lo más grande
The greatest band of all time imo got to see them too. ❤ thank you for another brilliant reaction.
What is there more to say the best band period. The song Kahmir epic. And ja Robert Plant the legend the king the voice of rock. Love your reaction Sabina
The real gods of rock
Led zeppelin are known for having every member is awesome
To Infinity and beyond GOAT Led Zep is the best ever, you crack me up Great Job again!
When you see or hear the term " Rock God's " this is what that means.
Sabina, i'd let Robert Plant take me there......or anywhere !!.....LOL.....loved that man since the 70's !!!
This song is an experience, you feel diffrent afterwards, pure magic. His voice and the instruments creats such powerful emotions.
I’ve always loved this song since my first listen in the 70s. This performance takes it to the next level, Jason Bonham’s drumming in his fathers absents hits in the feels big time. What a Great Band!
I went to see Robert Plant on the 13th and 14th August at The Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, BC!! Robert Plant sounds amazing still and such a great guy!! Cost me alot but I paid for the Meet and Greet!! ❤😊
My all time LedZep favourite track, Crank it up to 11 :) I got goosebumps all the way through.. The drummer Jason Bonham is so passionate because he is playing for his Dad John Bonham who was the original drummer. Its a fantastic song I even had a tear or two seeing Jason drumming.
05:24 the Phrygian transition is absolutely amazing 🤘Also, R.I.P. John Bonham, one of the greatest drummers of all time. Should be in this reunion. 😥
Great reaction, keep it coming please! 😊
You so HAPPY!!!😀😀😀😀
