This is a surprisingly complex song in its rhythmic structure - for the main riff, the guitar and keys are playing in a 6/8 time signature, while the drums are keeping a solid 4/4. This gives everything a very dream-like feel. Then in the chorus, everyone changes to 4/4 and that makes you think it's been solid the whole time. The drums by John Bonham in this were originally brilliant, and his son in this performance shows that he inherited his dad's talent.
When I was young, someone said to me “some songs are just epic” and I asked them what that meant. They played this song for me and I immediately understood.
This concert in (2007) was almost 30 years after the band split up, following Bonham’s death. In just 2 hours, there were requests for 20 MILLION tickets, sadly there was only 20 THOUSAND seats. To be fair to fans, the had a lottery of the tickets. YES they still sound amazing, Plant could still belt it out, though not as easily as he once could. Plant still here in 2024 tours, Kudos to him still doing what he loves.
The song “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin is about a journey through a timeless realm to a destination that is more of a state of mind than a physical location.
It's the Middle East/Arab/Asian Intonations (Kashmir is a place in Pakistan) influencing an exotic quality unusual for western culture at the time. Mysterious, alluring, seductive adventure even bringing the scents, incense and colors of distant places into clearer focus.
You have found my favorite. There is no one better than Zep. Imagine being a teen, back in the 60s and hearing this. It was truely mind blowing. When a new album would drop, we’d gather at someone’s house and listen to the entire album. It was so awesome. I miss those days of friends and incredible music.
@@lesblatnyak5947easy mistake because we were teenagers and most certainly it was the 60s when we were listening to Zeppelin. And we did gather to listen to new albums when they dropped she’s absolutely right.
You never need to apologize for stopping and making comments. This is a "reaction" channel. I expect and watch you to see and hear your reactions. And replay all serious guitar solos. As for the "live" vs "studio" stuff. First of all; personal tastes. Second, quality overall. Unfortunately, not all live videos are of good quality. My personal taste is "live" first because I like to see as well as hear the artists. Their stage presence is part of their art.
Love this song. The vocals and guitar are playing in one time signature while the drums and bass play in a different time signature, and that creates the most amazing tension.
@MollyBoyTV thank you so much for going back to Led Zeppelin! I was one of the people who originally asked you to do Zep. I knew you would appreciate it and I knew it would grow your channel. Congratulations on 87K subscribers! Kashmir, IMO, is Led Zeppelin’s masterpiece. It is the most musically complexed, layered song that combines Rock, Eastern Mysticism, and impeccable storytelling. This particular concert was a one-off, last of Led Zeppelin, tribute to the founder of Atlantic Records who gave Led Zeppelin a contract without meeting them, hearing them, and gave them total control, plus a ton of money. It was a first of its kind contract. Robert Plant (vocals) was 59, John Paul Jones (keys and bass at the same time!) was 61, Jimmy Page (lead guitar) was 63, and as you said , John Bonham’s son, Jason on drums in 2007 at the O2 Arena in London. John started teaching his son at age 4. Jason knows every concert, every bootleg, every album, and how Led Zeppelin played them. If anyone was going to try to get close to the best Rock drummer of all time, it was going to be his son. I hope you listen to the whole concert - especially watch the beginning when they come out. Jimmy Page (lead guitar) is as bad ass looking as a Rocker gets and he still has it 40 years after he started the band. Robert Plant still has the voice, although more mature and controlled, and John Paul Jones (real name John Baldwin) is the most musically diverse, classically trained, and the special sauce that holds the band together. I know there are issues you sometimes have to get around to play Led Zeppelin live videos but, it’s worth it. I have been a fan since LZ I was released in January 1969. I saw them live in Tampa, FL when they broke the Beatles attendance record. Please, for the millions of Led Zeppelin fans, and for your own musical enjoyment and education, please continue with Led Zeppelin. Their discography is second to none. They are the most diverse Rock band you will find. Led Heads can give you individual songs but, I highly recommend that you start with Led Zeppelin I (album), opening song “Good Times, Bad Times” so you can properly experience the musical impact and growth of the band. Go song by song, album by album in order. They exploded on the Rock scene, zoomed to best rock band in the world, and reigned as #1 throughout the late 1960’s and all of the 1970’s. I highly recommend the Led Zeppelin rabbit hole. Become an honorary Led Head. Please, experience more with us. ♥️ Holly from Birmingham (AL, USA that is 😉).
The tickets to Celebration Day broke the records for the most requested tickets ever. It still stands. Once Zeppelin gets in your blood you are hooked. I first came upon them during grade school while waiting to leave for school and listening to my little radio. Suddenly Whole Lotta Love came on. A few months later I got Immigrant Song. Then I did not hear them until I was in my teens. At that time Stairway to Heaven was at every party (along with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon). I ended up getting all their albums in high school. Every night I listened to at least one side of an album before going to bed. Kashmir was my imagination in flight song. I would listen in the dark with my headphones on and the sound up. I would close my eyes and let this take my imagination on flight to distant lands. It was so embracing. All of their music was in my blood. I am a grandmother now. I watch videos of them and turn it up and rock out. I still love me some Zep. Always will. No other band ever spoke to me musically like Zeppelin. I've loved many bands and much music but, Zeppelin is the zenith. You living in the area of the band is amazing. Holy land to Zeppelin heads. The land of 4 Goats.
I remember listening to this in 1969,before I left Upper 6th in the UK to go to University….my buddies and I knew that we were listening to the pinnacle of Rock…I am 70 now a widow and Nana,but I still rock out the very best…ZEP…….♥️🇨🇦
72 here and know how fortunate I am to be still rocking with my wife of 50 years. I lost count of the number of concerts we enjoyed and continue to enjoy to this day. I am sorry for your loss.
@@richardhooser5096Haha, Richard, my wife hated Led Zeppelin and would complain bitterly at the volume I wanted to listen to them at, so from my point of view, it's not really a loss at all. We didn't see eye to eye for many years and I can now listen at whatever volume I like as my nearest neighbours are a few miles away. Yes, that sounds callous, but it's true.
@@richardhooser5096 Richard, you are a very lucky man who obviously had impeccable taste, I had two wives, one died, one divorced and both hated Led Zeppelin, so the problem lies with my choice of a life partner unfortunately. I should have been a tad more discerning with regard their musical appreciation. It could probably have saved my first marriage.
Kashmir by Led Zep is polyrhythmic, Robert sings in 4/4 signature, the treble (guitar riff) is 3/4 and the drum line is 2/4 and the key is D Mixolydian. I love all LZ by this is by my account their all time Masterpiece. Best regards from Immy in Iceland.
There's a reason they are LEGENDS. Rock GODS amongst us. We are just lucky to exist in a time when Led Zeppelin did. Keep it going friend! Love your reactions.
What you're doing Molly Boy is validating that Zeppelin's music and appeal is universal across generations, and that they were just as good at that concert as they were 20 years or more earlier than this Celebration Day concert. Thanks for playing all this great, unparalleled music mastery!!!!
The term for the drum rolls between the verse lines is referred to as a "Fill", and this performance is obviously riddled with many of the most gripping and memorable fills. This band speaks to our heart and soul while tickling our ears, so glad you are enjoying them so much.
More Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love - Over the Hills and Far Away - D'yer Maker - Immigrant Song - Stairway to Heaven - Thank You - The Ocean - The Rain Song - All of my Love - Achilles last Stand - Dancing Days - Going to California - When the Levee Breaks - Misty Mountain Hop - No Quarater
In addition to the studio version, there is also a live version of Kashmir from 1994 performed with a traditional Egyptian Orchestra. The vibe is like being in the desert.
When they come out of the bridge and Plant holds that long note and the main riff kicks in I ALWAYS get goosebumps 100% of the time and I’ve been listening to for over 40 years!
I'm 56 and this whole show brought tears to my eyes. From start to finish. The GOATS still have it. Jason plays drum fills especially on the snare drum. Great reaction young man.
It makes so many of us gray-haired Led Zep fans smile to listen to this, recall how we felt and how the world felt when we listened to it in our youth - and to know that you (the same age as my son) “get it.” Thanks, mate! 😊
I live near where Rob Plant lives (from your accent you don't live too far away either) he is always around the town and is treated like any other normal person which he loves. He is so down to earth x
I think that’s why they loved visiting New Orleans, we don’t harass people in the street. You can come and sit in a bar listening to jazz or the blues just rock and have a good time. Now people will smile and say hi. But come on it’s the south, we do that to everyone.
When JPJ is on keyboards he actually plays the bass part with his feet on a set of Moog Bass pedals. Bassist Geddy Lee of Rush does the same when he is on keyboards along with his lead singing. Achilles Last Stand Live at Knebworth is a must. John Bonham's last performance before his passing.
Have you ever played a song by Iron Butterfly? Iron Butterfly’s 17-minute “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” took root in the American consciousness on its release in 1968 and went on to enjoy an afterlife that spanned rock, disco and hip-hop. As The Simpsons episode where Bart tricks the church organist into playing the song shows, unexpected things can happen when you play around in the “garden of Eden”. Iron Butterfly always wanted to do things differently. The Los Angeles quartet gave equal weight to organ, guitar, drums and bass
I recommended that same song and also another way early metal song Summertime Blues by Blue Cheer. Both 1968 and should not be missed. I think he would love them...
You know what you've gotten really good at over this reactionary journey? You got really good at pauses. It's not easy. I understand you probably have some haters. I think I'm a professional listener, lol, and I just noticed you're doing great recently. I think it's just because I respect each time where you pause, and where you didn't decide to pause, must have been up my alley, because I like it. Led Zeppelin with Kashmir reaction gives you my final seal of approval. 🏅💯 It was difficult and you did good.❤
In the mid and late 80's I had a GT Mustang that had 2 subwoofers, 2 midwoofers, 4 midrange and 4 tweeters crammed into it driven by 4 amps with an active crossover network. When we smoked up this was my number one go-to song. Playing it while hauling ass down a back road it felt a little like flying out in space.
I have reached the age of 70 loving every minute of classic rock with a clear a present brain. No drugs/alcohol at all I have felt every note. Every chord. Live and love with total presence of mind. This music is so great. It doesn’t need “help”.
Seeing a young person like you appreciate music like this make my heart and soul soar like nothing else ever could. I like watching reaction videos but youre different. You have an open, inquisitive mind and honesty about what you here. And youre British so if feels more relevant to us. Greetings, and thank you, from portsmouth.
When you are sitting in for your father who was the original drummer for the group, you not only play it well, you play like you are representing your father as well.
I LOVE how much you enjoyed this. You’re doing yourself a huge favor by exploring different sounds. Thanks for what you do. May your views and likes always be equal.
I saw 3 Led Zeppelin concerts between 1969 - 1970 and they have been one of my favorite bands ever since. Here's some information that might be of interest to you. Kashmir was the song some members of Led Zeppelin said they want to be most remembered for. The O2 concert was there final public performance, and 20,000,000 people tried to get tickets. The venue holds 20,000. I'm sure the tickets were a lot more than the $5.00 I paid for the first concert. Not only does Led Zeppelin play there songs differently in live performances than the way they are recorded, but they also play differently each time they play. They improvise and play off of each other in each concert. I would recommend checking out the studio versions of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You and Since I've Been Loving You. Live I would recommend In My Time of Dying live at Earls Court 1975. I just came across your channel yesterday, and I enjoyed the 6 reactions I heard so far. Lastly I would recommend more Deep Purple, High Star and Smoke On The Water that has one of the most iconic guitar riffs in the history of rock music.
One of my very favorite live performances ever. I believe this concert in 2007 was the last time they performed together and Robert Plant would agree to do it ONLY if Jason Bonham agreed to drum. An amazing performance and tribute to his father. Thanks for reacting to this!! Love ALL your reactions!
This my friend is one of the most influential bands of all time. It's like the Grandpappies of Grunge, Metal, and Alternative.. Never forgotten for innovation and creativity. Imagine if you could sing like Robert Plant... PRICELESS
Song release: "Kashmir" was released by Led Zeppelin on February 24, 1975. Song recording: The song was recorded in October 1973, February 1974, April-May 1974 (?), and November 1974. Song studio: The song was recorded at Ronnie Lane's Mobile Studio in Headley Grange, Hampshire, and at Olympic in London. Robert Plant was 64 when performed this song in the Celebration Day Concert. He was better than ever before. Jimmy Page was 68 performing here in this concert, Now Jimmy is 80 and Robert is 76. After "Stairway To Heaven," "Kashmir"e is their second music Masterpiece best known in the public eye. John Bonham died in 1980 of liver failure from alcohol abuse and his son Jason Bonham took his place in the band. It was like ....is like watching John Bonham perform on the drums. This song told all in the music world and Led Zepplin fans that Led Zeppelin had matured and we going to be Legendary as the Greatest Rock n' Roll band EVER! I remember it well. Enjoy!!!
Actually, both Jimmy was 63, John Paul Jones was 61, Robert was 59, and Jason was 41 when this concert happened. As far as I know, John Bonham passed due to alcohol poisoning, which isn't quite the same as liver failure.
Robert Plant was born in August of 1948. This concert was in December of 2007. That makes Plant 59 in this performance. Jimmy was born January 9, 1944, which makes him 63 here….almost 64. That concert was 17 years ago this December, which makes Plant 76 now, and Jimmy 80…almost 81. You got their current ages spot on, but not their ages during this concert. Jason was 39/ 40 I think.
You ain’t seen nothing until you’ve seen a live Jimmy Page performance complete with satin dragon suit. No one will ever be that level of cool again. 🎸🐲
the drummer stole the show! I hope daddy is happy where ever he is?! this whole show is awesome! they're getting younger as the show is going on!🤩🤘😎🔥keep having fun!
@@samwisethebrave288what in the world do you mean? It was an enthusiastic, joy-filled reaction. The kid was blown away. And that is exactly the kind of reaction that this GREAT song deserves! How could you misunderstand that? The kid was respectful as hell.
This song is one of my all time fav songs ever! I remember a time in my life in 1979 when this song literally was all I had to hang on to. I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin and this song has so much importance for me that even today I love to listen to it all the time. This version is so special and I would have loved to see their Celebration Day Tour. Thanks MollyBoy! 🔥🔥🔥
I'm so happy I found you out here. You are a favorite reactor of mine, because I see a person far younger than me willing to explore other genres of music and give it a chance. I'm a music teacher, and the most wonderful moments I have are when I watch the faces of students hearing music for the first time, and seeing a smile spread across their faces. It's glorious. Keep listening & expanding your mind. Zeppelin is from my parents' generation. I grew up on it and still have the vinyl albums. Peace.
You nailed it when you said that there wasn’t another band like them. When you listen to this,stairway to Heaven, Immigrant Song , Fool in the Rain, D’yer Mak’er, and Whole Lotta Love, the sound NOTHING alike, but you know immediately it’s Led Zeppelin.
You should check out the Heart rendition of Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors. Jason Bonham on drums. Paige, Plant and Jones were in attendance. Great rendition - they actually cried...
I was 15 in 1975 and this was on the radio non-stop. The whole album was. I used to play my radio all night. It was sublime. Thanks so much for appreciating it: it's part of our duty to teach the 1970s and 80s to music lovers! -Ruthie
Imagine being a teen in the 70s, headphones on, laying on the floor with this turned up all the way. Yep, still have my hearing, amazingly. I still turn this one way up! Good to see you enjoying this amazing experience that is Kashmir.
imagine being 17 & going to a party high high high with your drug dealer boyfriend & his friends & listening to this ~ that happened on my birthday i recall ~
I have the DVD of this concert. The first time I put it on with a 5.1 surround sound I turned the volume up as is standard for LZ but had to turn it down again when the sub-woofer started to smell too hot.
3:10 it was in Ocean's Twelve (2004), a blockbuster action movie, so you're not wrong lol. The instrumental was also sampled in a song by an artist who shall not be named, in the credits of the Godzilla (1998) movie.
BTW!! Bonham's son IMPRESSED every one. I'm a drummer and Bonham was difficult to get. His son NAILED IT!!! Drum fill , jazz drummer's are really good at this!!! May I recommend Dave Brubek - Take Five. Incredible jazz performance with an off tempo NO ONE SAID COULD BE DONE. Dave went " Hold my beer!" He's the leader tickling the ivory, the drummer get's a solo, well worth it. The vid is in black and white that's how old it is. it's also the theme for CBC Radio Canada's one program they have. At least it used to be CBC has gone to HELL in a handbasket over the last 15 years or so. But the radio programing was spot on. It's where we used to get whole albums played and conversations about the artist or with the artist and some recordings you really don't find in mainstream. They have an archive that's available online as well. SO MOLLY BOY community .....You think he's ready for the likes of TOM WAITS or ZAPPA?!!!!
Another kick ass reaction from you! Kashmir is my favorite Zeppelin song and that is saying a LOT, as Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are tied at #1 for me... a whole lotta top notch music between those 2 groups. Just keep on doing what you're doing on your channel and I'll be back time and again!
Your jaw will be on the floor for this one! John Bonhams son, Jason does his dad proud on those drums!!🤘
If you'd like some amazing Jason Bonham, please check out his album, In the Name of My Father!!!
Bonzo Jr. was definitely on the ball.
Jason is a phenomenal musician!
No..the studio version...not geriatric
Also, do yourself a favor and check out the original studio version. Sooooooooo good!
Seriously. His vocals are out of this world
Quite right. The studio version is much tighter.
@@lobo3928yup n what abt the bow used by Page for the classic riff
Also... stop commenting.
@@samwisethebrave288 he has to ~ also thats what this channel is ~ reaction ~
This is a surprisingly complex song in its rhythmic structure - for the main riff, the guitar and keys are playing in a 6/8 time signature, while the drums are keeping a solid 4/4. This gives everything a very dream-like feel. Then in the chorus, everyone changes to 4/4 and that makes you think it's been solid the whole time. The drums by John Bonham in this were originally brilliant, and his son in this performance shows that he inherited his dad's talent.
Thank you, I've always wondered about that.

Kashmir is not just another Rock tune, it's epic.
Oh my, how many times a day do describe things as epic?
Lmao
Robert Plant said it is his favorite Zep song
You have to listen to when the levee breaks. It's my personal favorite, it's such a great blues tune.
Great tune
💯💯💯
It’s excellent and I love the(ir) Blues.
Yes, yes, yes!!
Absolutely!! My favorite song of theirs!
When I was young, someone said to me “some songs are just epic” and I asked them what that meant. They played this song for me and I immediately understood.
When I think of the word "rock star," he's the first person I think of. Plant is the definition of rock star.
SO IS GOAT Jimmy Page!
Plant and roger daltrey in my mind birthed the image of rock star and the 70s and 80s where just playing catch up
Did you forget Freddie Mercury?
This concert in (2007) was almost 30 years after the band split up, following Bonham’s death. In just 2 hours, there were requests for 20 MILLION tickets, sadly there was only 20 THOUSAND seats. To be fair to fans, the had a lottery of the tickets. YES they still sound amazing, Plant could still belt it out, though not as easily as he once could. Plant still here in 2024 tours, Kudos to him still doing what he loves.
And that day my heart broke, I just wanted to see them play live once more, I’d have paid anything.
The song “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin is about a journey through a timeless realm to a destination that is more of a state of mind than a physical location.
Exactly.
It's the Middle East/Arab/Asian Intonations (Kashmir is a place in Pakistan) influencing an exotic quality unusual for western culture at the time.
Mysterious, alluring, seductive adventure even bringing the scents, incense and colors of distant places into clearer focus.
The influence of the old english colonies as India and Pakistan
And of course Led Zep are english

@@kaydantonio3719 I miss going to the record store. If they took you in blinded you would know it's the record store from the smell
That's how music was spread I too miss that but this just takes you back.

When a drummer breaks out from the groove and plays his own little licks to break up the monotony, it's called drum fills.
This performance is probably one of the best you will ever hear as a master class of perfection.
Agreed!

Dont forget Since I've been loving you. Especially the Madison Square Garden live version. Zeps best live performance in my opinion.
In addition to the studio version, there is also a live version of Kashmir from 1994 performed with a traditional Egyptian Orchestra. The vibe is like being in the desert.
The best version of Kashmir ever!🤘
When they come out of the bridge and Plant holds that long note and the main riff kicks in I ALWAYS get goosebumps 100% of the time and I’ve been listening to for over 40 years!

I love how this song has such a middle eastern vibe to it. The instrumentals are beautiful.
One of the best songs in rock history, and so cool to see it played live, thanks for the reaction! 🤘
A couple of times there, Robert sounded 20 again!
If anything he's even better here as his voice has extra richness
It makes so many of us gray-haired Led Zep fans smile to listen to this, recall how we felt and how the world felt when we listened to it in our youth - and to know that you (the same age as my son) “get it.” Thanks, mate! 😊
I live near where Rob Plant lives (from your accent you don't live too far away either) he is always around the town and is treated like any other normal person which he loves. He is so down to earth x
Where is he living now? I’m only a 10 minute walk from where he was born
I think that’s why they loved visiting New Orleans, we don’t harass people in the street. You can come and sit in a bar listening to jazz or the blues just rock and have a good time. Now people will smile and say hi. But come on it’s the south, we do that to everyone.
@@MollyBoyTV I think he's over Kinver way.
I did a poetry gig in Malvern a few years back (with my GarageBand backing tracks) and he came just as an audience member. Decent bloke!
The pinnacle of rock and roll. The mastery of vocals, and instruments.
When JPJ is on keyboards he actually plays the bass part with his feet on a set of Moog Bass pedals. Bassist Geddy Lee of Rush does the same when he is on keyboards along with his lead singing. Achilles Last Stand Live at Knebworth is a must. John Bonham's last performance before his passing.
Spot on!❤
This song WAS the 70's. It's always been known as one of the main ingredients to "Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll."
still blows my mind that Robert sounded that good.
This is badass old school. I saw them in 1975 in NY. Jason Bonham does his father proud.
Jimmy pages face when the groove kicks in! Beautiful
When Jimmy gets into the good bits, Its called his ' Duck Face '
Have you ever played a song by Iron Butterfly?
Iron Butterfly’s 17-minute “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” took root in the American consciousness on its release in 1968 and went on to enjoy an afterlife that spanned rock, disco and hip-hop. As The Simpsons episode where Bart tricks the church organist into playing the song shows, unexpected things can happen when you play around in the “garden of Eden”.
Iron Butterfly always wanted to do things differently. The Los Angeles quartet gave equal weight to organ, guitar, drums and bass
I recommended that same song and also another way early metal song Summertime Blues by Blue Cheer. Both 1968 and should not be missed. I think he would love them...
The beginnings of acid rock.
In the 70's and 80's, we would clean the house with Iron Butterfly playing in the background. My mom had the album. Still blows my mind.
I found that album in the back of a small town (like 1k people small town) record shop for $5. Has that beautiful vinyl crackle to it.
I was told ,but I'm not sure; however it was originally called " From the Garden of Eden" . ????
Page and Plant’s performance of this song with the Egyptian Orchestra is awesome!
Back in the day, no one could touch them live. They would play for hours.
One of the greatest rock songs ever performed by the greatest rock band ever. The absolute pinnacle.
You know what you've gotten really good at over this reactionary journey?
You got really good at pauses. It's not easy. I understand you probably have some haters. I think I'm a professional listener, lol, and I just noticed you're doing great recently. I think it's just because I respect each time where you pause, and where you didn't decide to pause, must have been up my alley, because I like it. Led Zeppelin with Kashmir reaction gives you my final seal of approval. 🏅💯
It was difficult and you did good.❤
The BEST band to ever walk on this planet. Then and now. Civilization owes these guys gratitude for their gift
One of my favourite rock groups (top 5) with an absolute classic done in a grand manner! Legends.
In the mid and late 80's I had a GT Mustang that had 2 subwoofers, 2 midwoofers, 4 midrange and 4 tweeters crammed into it driven by 4 amps with an active crossover network. When we smoked up this was my number one go-to song. Playing it while hauling ass down a back road it felt a little like flying out in space.
This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song. Best when taking *ahem* mind-bending substances, those 8 minutes and 37 seconds stretch out to infinity then.
Same ❤
I have reached the age of 70 loving every minute of classic rock with a clear a present brain. No drugs/alcohol at all I have felt every note. Every chord. Live and love with total presence of mind. This music is so great. It doesn’t need “help”.
@@becksullivan4796completely agree but if you tried it with "help" you'd understand what people are talking about...
It is incredible that Jason inherited those mad drumming skills from his father. Pretty damn special.
Since I've been loving you by LED Zeppelin, the first 3 notes will make your knees buckle ❤
Live at Madison Square Garden 1973❤❤❤
Yes!! My favorite Zeppelin song. Let's Go!!! 🙂🤘🏼
Definitely in my top five favourite Led Zeppelin songs
Seeing a young person like you appreciate music like this make my heart and soul soar like nothing else ever could. I like watching reaction videos but youre different. You have an open, inquisitive mind and honesty about what you here. And youre British so if feels more relevant to us. Greetings, and thank you, from portsmouth.
When you are sitting in for your father who was the original drummer for the group, you not only play it well, you play like you are representing your father as well.
"Not a word I heard could I relate but the story was quite clear"
I LOVE how much you enjoyed this. You’re doing yourself a huge favor by exploring different sounds. Thanks for what you do. May your views and likes always be equal.
Can't fake awesome
I saw 3 Led Zeppelin concerts between 1969 - 1970 and they have been one of my favorite bands ever since. Here's some information that might be of interest to you. Kashmir was the song some members of Led Zeppelin said they want to be most remembered for. The O2 concert was there final public performance, and 20,000,000 people tried to get tickets. The venue holds 20,000. I'm sure the tickets were a lot more than the $5.00 I paid for the first concert. Not only does Led Zeppelin play there songs differently in live performances than the way they are recorded, but they also play differently each time they play. They improvise and play off of each other in each concert. I would recommend checking out the studio versions of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You and Since I've Been Loving You. Live I would recommend In My Time of Dying live at Earls Court 1975. I just came across your channel yesterday, and I enjoyed the 6 reactions I heard so far. Lastly I would recommend more Deep Purple, High Star and Smoke On The Water that has one of the most iconic guitar riffs in the history of rock music.
It is amazing and Robert’s voice, omg!!! Love Led Zeppelin!❤
"When The Levee Breaks" 🎧
❤love it!!!
Yes please!❤
One of my very favorite live performances ever. I believe this concert in 2007 was the last time they performed together and Robert Plant would agree to do it ONLY if Jason Bonham agreed to drum. An amazing performance and tribute to his father. Thanks for reacting to this!! Love ALL your reactions!
This my friend is one of the most influential bands of all time. It's like the Grandpappies of Grunge, Metal, and Alternative.. Never forgotten for innovation and creativity. Imagine if you could sing like Robert Plant... PRICELESS
Hey MB! Here’s a fact about this one off concert. There were 20 MILLION requests for tickets!!!!!😮😮
Still a Guinness world record.
Song release: "Kashmir" was released by Led Zeppelin on February 24, 1975.
Song recording: The song was recorded in October 1973, February 1974, April-May 1974 (?), and November 1974.
Song studio: The song was recorded at Ronnie Lane's Mobile Studio in Headley Grange, Hampshire, and at Olympic in London. Robert Plant was 64 when performed this song in the Celebration Day Concert. He was better than ever before. Jimmy Page was 68 performing here in this concert, Now Jimmy is 80 and Robert is 76. After "Stairway To Heaven," "Kashmir"e is their second music Masterpiece best known in the public eye. John Bonham died in 1980 of liver failure from alcohol abuse and his son Jason Bonham took his place in the band. It was like ....is like watching John Bonham perform on the drums. This song told all in the music world and Led Zepplin fans that Led Zeppelin had matured and we going to be Legendary as the Greatest Rock n' Roll band EVER! I remember it well. Enjoy!!!
Actually, both Jimmy was 63, John Paul Jones was 61, Robert was 59, and Jason was 41 when this concert happened. As far as I know, John Bonham passed due to alcohol poisoning, which isn't quite the same as liver failure.
Robert Plant was born in August of 1948. This concert was in December of 2007. That makes Plant 59 in this performance. Jimmy was born January 9, 1944, which makes him 63 here….almost 64. That concert was 17 years ago this December, which makes Plant 76 now, and Jimmy 80…almost 81. You got their current ages spot on, but not their ages during this concert. Jason was 39/ 40 I think.
You ain’t seen nothing until you’ve seen a live Jimmy Page performance complete with satin dragon suit. No one will ever be that level of cool again. 🎸🐲
Three times for me!
AT LAST, We have some Led Zepplin. Good luck getting through that back catalog 🎃 🔥 ❤ brilliant rock.
Didn't you get a box set of Zepplin?
the drummer stole the show! I hope daddy is happy where ever he is?! this whole show is awesome! they're getting younger as the show is going on!🤩🤘😎🔥keep having fun!
That's the reaction this song deserves! 💯
What do you mean? Disrespectful.
@@samwisethebrave288what in the world do you mean? It was an enthusiastic, joy-filled reaction. The kid was blown away. And that is exactly the kind of reaction that this GREAT song deserves! How could you misunderstand that? The kid was respectful as hell.
Kashmir is such a magical song. ❤❤❤ When the Levee breaks! Next please
This song is one of my all time fav songs ever! I remember a time in my life in 1979 when this song literally was all I had to hang on to. I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin and this song has so much importance for me that even today I love to listen to it all the time. This version is so special and I would have loved to see their Celebration Day Tour. Thanks MollyBoy! 🔥🔥🔥
I can relate 100%
I'm so happy I found you out here. You are a favorite reactor of mine, because I see a person far younger than me willing to explore other genres of music and give it a chance. I'm a music teacher, and the most wonderful moments I have are when I watch the faces of students hearing music for the first time, and seeing a smile spread across their faces. It's glorious. Keep listening & expanding your mind. Zeppelin is from my parents' generation. I grew up on it and still have the vinyl albums. Peace.
He's doing "drum fills" in the most excellent way. Fire!!
Mind blown every time I hear Kashmir. Heart pounding message from Thor.
One of the best drummers ever, one of the best guitarists ever and a fantastic vocalist all in one band.
John Paul Jones often gets overlooked. Many argue that he is the best musician of Zep.
You nailed it when you said that there wasn’t another band like them. When you listen to this,stairway to Heaven, Immigrant Song , Fool in the Rain, D’yer Mak’er, and Whole Lotta Love, the sound NOTHING alike, but you know immediately it’s Led Zeppelin.
You should check out the Heart rendition of Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors. Jason Bonham on drums. Paige, Plant and Jones were in attendance. Great rendition - they actually cried...
I was 15 in 1975 and this was on the radio non-stop. The whole album was. I used to play my radio all night. It was sublime.
Thanks so much for appreciating it: it's part of our duty to teach the 1970s and 80s to music lovers!
-Ruthie
I was born in 1958. So I grew up with all the greats. Lucky us.😊✌️🌻🌻 8:21
you need to see the drummer's dad play this tune!!!
I love Led Zeppelin! IMHO this is a masterpiece, one of the greatest songs ever! ❤️🔥🌟🎶 💚 🇸🇪
This is the one song that they are the proudest of. It has a syncopated beat and bass line that makes it sound so unusual.
Kashmir has been my favorite Zeppelin song for almost thanks for years). Thanks for playing this.
This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song. Something about the cadence and mood tone of it. Glad you played it. Thanks. 😊
Imagine being a teen in the 70s, headphones on, laying on the floor with this turned up all the way. Yep, still have my hearing, amazingly. I still turn this one way up! Good to see you enjoying this amazing experience that is Kashmir.
imagine being 17 & going to a party high high high with your drug dealer boyfriend & his friends & listening to this ~ that happened on my birthday i recall ~
70’s, 80’s, 90’s on and on… NEVER gets old.
I have the DVD of this concert. The first time I put it on with a 5.1 surround sound I turned the volume up as is standard for LZ but had to turn it down again when the sub-woofer started to smell too hot.
I can’t hear for shit anymore but worth it!
Few bands have produced such exceptional first four albums as Led Zeppelin did.
I don't know how to describe how this one makes me feel. It's just so....perfect.
"Dazed and Confused" is one of my favourite 'Zeppelin songs. It's got one of my fav. guitar solos in it...mind blowing.
3:10 it was in Ocean's Twelve (2004), a blockbuster action movie, so you're not wrong lol. The instrumental was also sampled in a song by an artist who shall not be named, in the credits of the Godzilla (1998) movie.
Zeppelin invented how to layer the sounds in rock to elevate it to the next level
My favorite version of this song is from the early 90's: Plant and Page unplugged with an Egyptian orchestra.
They are so much over the average that after a whole Life Time on stage they still play and sing better than most you can get nowadays.
BTW!! Bonham's son IMPRESSED every one. I'm a drummer and Bonham was difficult to get. His son NAILED IT!!! Drum fill , jazz drummer's are really good at this!!! May I recommend Dave Brubek - Take Five. Incredible jazz performance with an off tempo NO ONE SAID COULD BE DONE. Dave went " Hold my beer!" He's the leader tickling the ivory, the drummer get's a solo, well worth it. The vid is in black and white that's how old it is. it's also the theme for CBC Radio Canada's one program they have. At least it used to be CBC has gone to HELL in a handbasket over the last 15 years or so. But the radio programing was spot on. It's where we used to get whole albums played and conversations about the artist or with the artist and some recordings you really don't find in mainstream. They have an archive that's available online as well. SO MOLLY BOY community .....You think he's ready for the likes of TOM WAITS or ZAPPA?!!!!
The drumming term is either Break Down or Turn around, and it serves an important purpose. It get's everyone back on track with the downbeat.
🎸💯 Kashmir has been my favorite Led Zeppelin song since I first heard it - a century ago‼️☮️❤️🎶🔥
The greatest band of all time! Hands down!! Absolute legends!
Definitely my favorite Led Zeppelin song ❤
Another kick ass reaction from you! Kashmir is my favorite Zeppelin song and that is saying a LOT, as Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are tied at #1 for me... a whole lotta top notch music between those 2 groups. Just keep on doing what you're doing on your channel and I'll be back time and again!
My absolute favourite from Led!! 🖤🤘🏻🖤 So beautiful! 🖤
one of the best bands to come out of the 1960`s !
KASMIR♥️🤩 and FOOL IN THE RAIN, ♥️🤩 are two favorites Indeed. The Drumming on Fool in The Rain, is the ultimate 🥹🥹🥹
