To me, Kashmir will always be peak Led Zeppelin. It is their masterpiece. Their Magnum Opus. The sound quality of this performance is just superb. Jason Bonham did his dad proud.
I agree. I know everyone migrates to "Stairway" as their pinnacle, but "Kashmir" is of another world, and truly something to behold. Was there ever a rock song that had the melody capturing the lyric so perfectly?
Interesting choice, I know some would go for more complex songs like Achilles Last Stand, or STH or maybe even something like Battle of Evermore, but the one thing about Kashmir is it has stood the test of time like no other LZ song, it someone like Muse or Radiohead released Kashmir in the 90's or 2010's everyone would still think how fresh and contemporary it sounded.
My husband was playing this song one night way….way back in 1974…he was staying up studying….I had gone to bed and was asleep…then I woke up to this song….my whole body was moving to the beat of this song…it was the weirdest thing….so when I hear this song …it takes me back to our early married years…we celebrated 51 years of marriage this year…
I was thinking that same thing watching this. It's like they all stopped for a second and told the younguns, "Here.... hold my beer. Watch how it's really done."
Absofriggenlutely!! Some folks place Stairway as their favorite Zepplin, but this has been my #1 for over 40 years. It never fails to travel me back to an ancient bedouin camel train stopped at an oasis for the night.
Robert has often said he would rather be remembered for Kashmir than Stairway to Heaven. For me, this is one of my top 3 songs in life. I get it, Robert.
And sound great even with the son (Jason Bonham) of the original drummer John "Bonzo". But this, though being 50 yrs later, isn't as mountain peak as the original.
Kashmir is a song that, once you hear it, will change your musical life forever. And the fact that they can be so spot on in a live performance 50 years later is astounding, and a testament to their greatness.
Several documentaries talk about how led zeppelin could go without rehearsal and just show up amd change things during a live show and still be tighter than any band that rehearsed all day. Kind of easy to believe when you listen to live shows and see how they change the songs quite a bit and it sounds as good as the original.
FyI when it was announced that Led Zeppelin was going perform at this tribute concert for one night only. World records were set in tickets request in just a few hours. 20 million unheard of, so they had to have a lottery for the lucky 20 thousand people to witness the greatness that night.
Kashmir, is peak Zeppelin, and one of, if not the most iconic rock songs ever! It's impossible to overstate just how influential, Led Zeppelin, has and continues to be to music, these guys are musical royalty!
An iconic final performance for these legends. They did not go gentle into that good night. Led Zeppelin wielded the hammer of the gods, for one last time. Epic.
I've been listening to Zeppelin for over 50 years now. I remember buying this album, "Physical Graffiti", back in high school. This has to be, out of many, favorite Zeppelin songs. After watching this video and knowing they still sounded as good as they did 31 years earlier, this was 2006, is amazing. You have to take in the fact thatas a band they stopped playing in 1980 after the death of John Bonham. His son Jason fills in nicely here.
I know it's been a year, but came across your reaction and LOVED IT! Kashmir is my all time favorite from ZEP! They said in an interview they all wished they were known for Kashmir instead of Stairway to Heaven! As an old Rock-n-Roller...I enjoyed watching two "youngsters" enjoy and respect their music, so much so...I subscribed! Looking forward to more great reactions!
That was my moms favorite song till her death at 86 yrs old! She loved it! I’ve been rocking to them for 50 yrs!! And still listening to them every single day!!! My mom passed in 2019 and I’m sure she’s stil rocking with me !!
I saw Robert Plant, and Jimmy Pages :No Quarter" tour in 1994 here in Tennessee. Hands down one of the best concerts I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of concerts in the 70's, and 80s.
"My headphones are on FIRE!" Best reaction I have heard yet of Led Zep!! Both of your faces were amazing as this song just keeps building upwards. Great job, thanks guys you really made me smile just now. Listening to Led Zeppelin is like haviong a religious experience. Enjoy the long rabbit hole of thee GOAT Rock band ever.
I was at this show at the o2 live. It is the number 1 highlight of my life. When they played thos song several of us in the crowd could be heard saying we got goosebumps and it got so electric. Pages swagger went through the roof. This literally was the best song of the night. Plant sang this as close to the original as possible. I will never forget this show for as long as i live and am greatful i got to see them even if it was not the original band. Jason did an amazing job filling his fathers shoes. RIP Bonzo your legacy is in good hands.
I am old enough to remember when the Physical Graffiti album came out. It was trashed by most critics because it was not like Led Zepplin's earlier sound. I remember the first time hearing Kashmir when I was in college. I loved it just like the two of you. Over time, it seems the critics have come around to the idea that this song is a CLASSIC! Rock on you two!🤘
I had all of their albums way back then....loved nearly all of their songs. This one though is tops. I believe the three remaining members were near 60 years, ±2 yrs, here in this video.
The ultimate response was the look on both of your faces and then you rewound it and didn't realize he did it for you double..... if I never saw another response I would be pleased to death. That was great. I love that Led Zeppelin When I was a teenager and I still love them now. God bless you both and nothing but love!🥰😜💗💗💗💗
Keep in mind all 3 original members are in their 70's here. The drummer is son of the original drummer John Bonham, who passed away and Led Zepplin would not go on without him. One of my favorite cruising songs, turn it up loud!!
I'm from the 60's 70's 80's.... I Am So Happy to See Someone Like Me✌🏾😊🎶🎶❣️Love All This Music a 1958-er grew up on...I Love Y'all So Much.. from Donny, to Minnie, to Led Zeppelin, listen to "the Ocean" by Led... Peace!✌🏾😊
That was a great performance! Appreciate you guys showing that! I was in 10th grade when that came out 1974, definitely one of their best and I gotta say Robert Plant Jimmy page look and sound great, Jason Bonham killing it just like his dad did.
What I think is one of their most beautiful pieces of music that will surprise you is “the rain song”. It’s one of those songs that hits ALL the feels.
It was this reaction to Kashmir that made me one of your fans. Both of you feel the music, and in your open hearted and genuine display of joy, it multiplied my enjoyment of one of my favorite songs. Subscribed, and looking forward to more of your reactions.
The performances for Celebration Day in 2007 were the last for this illustrious group and did they go out with a bang. Robert Plant was 59 and Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones were in their early 60's and yes, as he always did whenever he played with them, Jason Bonham made his dad, the late John Bonham proud. Papa couldn't have done it any better.
So many people drop back and call "Stairway to Heaven" as their favorite Zepplin song and it is a slightly good song I say tongue and cheek of course it's a masterpiece but "Kashmere" is my favorite Zeppelin song!!
I was a kid when this came out,I was already on my Bowie trip at the time but my cousin who was older than me used to blast this out when I was round his mums. Still to this day this tune changed my whole appreciation of music.

Umm...they don't have just one masterpiece, they have several.

@@Cosmo-Kramer fair point.
Totally agree.
1 out of 10?!! I'd say 1,000! What a FANtastic Performance. This was truly a great day of celebration! Thank you Led Zeppelin.......❤
My husband was playing this song one night way….way back in 1974…he was staying up studying….I had gone to bed and was asleep…then I woke up to this song….my whole body was moving to the beat of this song…it was the weirdest thing….so when I hear this song …it takes me back to our early married years…we celebrated 51 years of marriage this year…
This came out in 1975, not ‘74.
Congratulations!!
nice :)
Congrats. My parents coincidentally marked 51 years last year!
So happy you had Led all of your life together, SOOOOO LUCKY
Proof that age is just a number!! Even though this was their last concert together and they are much older...they still are the GOAT !!
I was thinking that same thing watching this. It's like they all stopped for a second and told the younguns, "Here.... hold my beer. Watch how it's really done."

I think this is as good as the original.. ♠W.G.
@@rebeccalipps23 U are missing an "e".. ♠W.G.
Greatest rock song - EVER
Greatest rock group - EVER
Any questions?
My favorite Led Zeppelin song followed by Whole Lotta Love then Stairway To Heaven.
Perfection didn’t miss a beat. I’m sure John is looking down from heaven proud of his son on drums
Robert has often said he would rather be remembered for Kashmir than Stairway to Heaven. For me, this is one of my top 3 songs in life. I get it, Robert.
Can’t blame him! Kashmir is just amazing!
Totally get it.
Back together 27 years later for one night only, to show the entire world exactly why Led Zeppelin is the GOAT.
My opinion, Led Zeppelin best rock band ever.
Keep in mind kids this must be 50 years later! How is possible they still sound like that??! I'm in the 70's again. GOAT
32 years later, not 50.
And sound great even with the son (Jason Bonham) of the original drummer John "Bonzo".
But this, though being 50 yrs later, isn't as mountain peak as the original.
@@DanSmith-cb5vj 31 years later. I bought "Physical Graffiti" when it came out back in high school in 1975. This concert was in 2006.
They're just a 70s band that can still kick ass
Just loved your reaction to the greatest band of all time. Welcome to Zepp x

It's good to see you young kids enjoy old folks music...(I'm 65)
This, IMO, is the best version of Kasmir. These guys were giving a class on how to perform. Showing the youngsters how it was done.
1979 Knebworth

Led Zeppelin in their 60's were still better than any other rock band ever!
This is in many ways, Led Zeppelin at their peak. Older. Much wiser. Flawless.
Saw Led Zeppelin several times as a teen and in my 20's, you can't go wrong!
Fun fact. When Led Zeppelin announced they were performing again there were 20 million requests for tickets.
I tried, really I did... 😫
Apparently the internet crashed!!! I tried also... But it was not to be...
What you just witnessed there folks is probably the greatest rock n roll song / performance ever. An absolute 10.
An iconic final performance for these legends. They did not go gentle into that good night. Led Zeppelin wielded the hammer of the gods, for one last time. Epic.
Shawn & Mel I appreciate the respect you always put on Led Zeppelin. Kashmir is always my come to Jesus song. I'm so glad y'all love it too!
All I can say, the drummer was killing it. I just LOVE this song.
John Bonham’s son💪💪
The rock Gods are still on top of their game. 👍👍👍👍
Well done my friends. Led Zeppelin always delivered top shelf rock and roll. 🤟🤟
Go crazy man.🤪
History's Greatest Rock Band.
The best version of their true masterpiece. Amazing, amazing performance!

Led Zeppelin: Let me take you there.
Me: I’m there.
They KILLED IT! Hope for all of us getting old and better!😂
It could be argued that this is the greatest rock song ever recorded.
No argument here❤
NO argument.
So happy that you guys got to this song, I tell you they are the GOAT!

60s not in there 70s
@@cjturner370 yes I phrased that wrong, they are all in their 70's today.
Robert was actually in his late 50s in the video.
This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song. I think Robert Plant and Jimmy Page agree.
NOW that's Rock and Roll and that's how it's done son....that is all 🤟
Saw them 5 times. My high school boyfriend was a Zeppelin fanatic. They were unbelievable. Tickets were a whopping $18.75 . Pure rock magic.❤❤
Back in the day if Kashmir was playing we were stoned. Zeppelin never gets old.
Fire up that dube!
How true! Perfect song to listen to when high, or getting high!
This was 2006...they were in their 60s! STILL the greatest!!
And these guys were in their 60s when they did this performance. The respect is deep.
There's a reason they're called Led Zeppelin... Greatest band ever....

Led Zeppelin has so many beautiful song's in which they've graced us with !!!
I CANT BELIEVE IT,,,,,,I HAVE TEARS ROLLIN DOWN MY CHEEKS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,SO GOOOOOD !!!
Biggest band in the world with mega hits. Plant has done a couple of albums and shows with Alison Krauss.
I really love his two albums with Alison Krauss. They sound wonderful together. I'm glad they put out their second album last Fall !!
Kashmir is such an amazing tune it just sounds otherworldly and how does Jimmy Page make one guitar sound like an orchestra.
Look up Jimmy Page, The Edge (U2), & Jack White (The White Stripes) "Kashmir". Jimmy shows them how he came up with the riff & how to play it.
❤❤❤Robert can take me anywhere ❤❤❤❤
yes! a zeppelin reaction - love this - thx shawn & M🎼L
I'm soooo happy you reacted to this. It's 🔥 🔥 🔥 almost went to this concert. Made me sick I couldn't go!!!!

my favorite song of all time
I'm lost for words when it comes to this performance. It's my wake up music in the morning!
I was at this show. It's almost as much fun watching your reaction.
Wish I was there, did see them many moons ago in 1977 for my 18th birthday. They played Kashmir then, good then and good now!
Excellent!! Now I have to listen to Black Dog...maybe a few more songs

Ooooooo so happy you did my favorite Zep!!!!
Bonzo's baby boy smashing those skins.... making daddy proud.
First time watching you guys. That was some real emotion right there from both of you that earned my sub. Love some Zepp . Thanks

Kick Ass song 🔥🔥🔥 BANGER ❤️❤️🤣😂 Love you guys n your reaction 👍❤️😍
Damn they still got it!! Hot hot hot❤❤❤

Great reaction also 👍👍👍
It just still amazes me these guys were all their 70's at this...dang....I gotta workout..
That is their work out for sure❤
Thanks for putting the Led down. 😎🤘
Loved the reaction! You guys are awesome! Great energy
This concert...the last time they had appeared together, with Jason filling in on the drums. Chills! It makes me so emotional!
Live version just as amazing 32yrs later..
Pure Rockstar’s 🤘🤘
This is from their 2007 concert. There were 20 million requests for tickets to this show. Yes, I said 20 million.
This was when they were way older and still put on this show I believe..I might be wrong
They definitely weren’t kids I can tell you that😮
Fun seeing you guys get excited over a Song I listened to on 8-track in my 57’ Chevy. 70’s was awesome for Music 🎶🎸✌🏽🤙🏽👍🏽😎
Thanks for this reaction... you have a nice smile ✌️
God was with them on this evening. Spectacular.
I was a kid when this came out,I was already on my Bowie trip at the time but my cousin who was older than me used to blast this out when I was round his mums.
Still to this day this tune changed my whole appreciation of music.
Goosebumps! 😍
