And the vinyl version album art has the "pop up windows." Or "sliders" if you prefer. I still have mine back bought in the day, and an LP player to appreciate it from time to time. Truly a masterpiece.
@@kendavis8046 I still have mine too. A little story. About 10 years ago, one of my sons was home from Uni for the holidays....having been raised right (ie LZ faN), he proceeded to play what he considered, the best version of this song through his laptop speakers. Well, challenge accepted - we had just bought our first turntable since we had replaced most of our recordings with CDs (I'd still kept the vinyls packed away). I got the vinyl out of storage (cool, dark, dry). Turned up the bass, turned the subwoofer face down on the floor (suspended wooden floor) and put "Physical Graffiti" on the turntable. Timing was perfect - a sultry Sydney Summer's day, thunderstorms rolling in from the south west, AND Kashmir ringing out. I have the original individual albums on vinyl, Mothership collection on vinyl, on cd and on my Ipod.......that should help cover royalities?
when I was 14 I was walking home from school and on the side of the road I found an old cassette that had "LED" written on it. I picked it up and brought it home. I put on headphones and hit play and could hear the record needle of whoever made the copy then the album started. By the time kashmir came on I was hooked and my life was changed.
@@OldAussieAds 😊 that period of music was really something special. Much of the world synced up and embraced the awesome. With the terrible state of the music industry I've been trying to create music that brings me back to that time. It's not easy but we gotta try.
As Jack Black promoted at the Kennedy Honors Tribute to Led Zeppelin.... "It is a rite of passage to listen to their whole catalog from beginning to end." You won't be disappointed.
I bought my old roommate and best friend the Led Zeppelin discography on CD, back in 2008. We put all those discs in a changer and just rocked our faces off all the time. Cleaning was never so much fun! Loooove Zep!
When my son came home from Afghanistan in 2013 he needed to take a long drive from Texas to Florida, then up the East Coast to D.C. and finally to the 9/11 Museum in NYC. I sent him off with Danzig 1- 5 and Led Zeppelin 1- 4. Did the trick.
No my friend you are 100% correct! John Bonham sound is unparalleled. I don't care who you name as a drummer part, Billy Cobham, Buddy Rich, Port Noy none of them have the sound of Bonham's drums. John Bonham's drums sound like what it must be when the devil is knocking on your door.
Page released a couple terrible sounding demos recently and Bonzo’s drums still sounded massive and perfect. If he never made it as a drummer he would be the greatest drum tech ever.
This may sound racist, be it’s not intended to be. As a white guy, it fills me with joy to see a black guy rock out to hard rock, metal, country, pop, etc. As Jamel would probably say, “By listening to great music, no matter what genre it is, we can come together as a united people, regardless of race, color, or creed.” Keep on rocking, Jamel !!!!
I am 74 years old and in my life I have dealt with the worst that humans can do to each other. I can tell the "grifters." I know, with all of that painful experience, that you are real; you care about the bond that good music creates. I am compelled to visit you daily because I trust your soul. I am an unhappily retired trial lawyer; for my region, the homicide specialist. But, your motivation somewhat cleanses me. So many, over 1/2 were minorities (I am caucasian), and I always doubted the fairness in the way they were treated. Like me, you are trying to destroy that disadvantage with caring and respect. All of my clients, unless they dismissed my dedication to their best interests, got everything I had except my conscience, and even those who were dismissive got the best they would accept. And, sadly, jurors about to serve in a trial lie more than anyone else in the courtroom. Of the thousands of jurors I have interviewed in jury selection, when representing a black person, said, "To be honest, I just don't like black people." Thankfully, he was dismissed from the potential jury, but my client and I asked ourselves "How many of them were honest with us?" I had hoped that the election of President Obama, especially his re-election, signified a real change--Obama's hopes and mine were blocked by bigotry. BUT, we will not surrender to hate, will, we? I hope you will see this comment. It is essential for all of us. It comes from life experience and it is real, and a painful truth.
Sucks that we're at such a snowflake point in society, that we have to put disclaimers ahead of innocuous comments, because we're afraid of seeming (fill in blank).
Bought "Physical Grafitti" back in high school in 1975. A tough purchase at $13.98 for a double album when I was working for $2.10 an hour part time after school, Well worth it though. My favorite track on the record.
Me and my husband walked down the aisle after we got married to this song, played on a cello! My sister in law enquired later why we had chosen the 'Jaws theme tune' to procession out of the church! 😄😄😄
"The Battle of Evermore" is the next Led Zeppelin masterpiece you should listen to. If you think Kashmir was putting you in a trance, The Battle of Evermore will put you in a coma.
Yaasssss....my favorite Zeppelin song. All I can say is 'ohhh myyyy'. My sister and I used to joke that Plant's voice could milk a cow from across a room... Esp. this song.
Both Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck were huge fans of Ravel's Bolero. They did a song together called Beck’s Bolero and, in Led Zeppelin I, a large part of How Many More Times is heavily influenced by Bolero.
The great thing about this song is the drums are playing in 4/4 time while the guitar(strings) is playing in 3/4...so they only meet up every 12 beats. They mix the time signatures perfectly. The 2 time signatures adds a tension to the song, that just keeps building and building and building. Then it finally explodes when Robert sings "Let me take you there". This in my opinion is probably their finest song, it definitely took me there !
Everyone gravitates to "Stairway", and while it is an iconic piece of music, their pinnacle is "Kashmir". Really shows off their incredible abilities as a small unit of talented musicians to produce something monumental and huge.
John Bonham is playing in a different time signature than the rest of the band, but after a few measures they all catch up. It's a musical and mathematical miracle. I love it when you like a band I have loved all my life. It's like we're all sharing new music with you.
@@gummyberryjoos1693 It's called "polymeter" or "cross rhythm", and lots of bands have done this. Two different time meters playing on top of one another. It's very obvious in this song because it's pretty stripped down with the heavy drums against the lighter strings. It creates tension in the song, as instead of beginning and ending on the same beat every bar, every measure, the rhythm only gets resolved every third bar. You get this build up, build up, build up...resolution, and it keeps going the whole way through. The music leads your ear, and it's like you want to lean forward in your chair while listening.
This song is almost indescribable, from the relentless drum beat, the increasing pressure from the guitar and Robert Plant, well just doing it again. I did grab the headphones.
Awe strikingly, breath takingly powerful every time I listen to it! Anthemic and epic-IMHO rate it as one of the best pieces of music of any genre in human history! (though that doesn't sound very humble...lol)
It took me years to figure out why the rhythm has such an odd feeling. Turns out it's polyrhythmic - for much of the song, the drums are in 4/4 time and the other instruments are in 3/4 time (or somesuch) and they only line up every 12 counts on the drums.
"Oh, father of the four winds fill my sails Cross the sea of years With no provision but an open face Along the straits of fear Oh, when I want, when I'm on my way, yeah And my feet wear my fickle way to stay.." Robert can sing for me all day any day. My son isn't named Robert because it's a family name if you know what I mean. ❤ 🎶😍
Lyrics wrong yet understandable considering anyone listening to this gets high as the band Led Zeppelin was a lighter than airship...fortunately many passengers were rich nazis ...ha roasted.
@@genghiskhan7041 That’s right! Most of the late 70’s and early 80’s are such a blur all I know is I rocked my wild and crazy b_tt off! Keep on rockin’ in the free world!!!!!!!
We used to hear this by a really kick ass band at our favorite metal bar. As soon as the lights went down and we heard that first riff we’d fight our way up to the stage and spark up and let them take us on a journey.
I got to hear them play "Kashmir" live, early in their '75 tour, right before Physical Graffiti was released (the album it's on). I had seen them live before, had all their albums, knew all their work up to that point. But here was this grand song (along with "In My Time of Dying" & "Trampled Underfoot"), brand new & I was hearing its thunderous beauty being performed in person for the first time. I was well acquainted with Zep's greatness but even so I couldn't believe my ears. I feel like my spirit still vibrates at the memory.💙🌿💚
Jamel u said "sounds like ur ready to go to war." For me, it's always been my favorite song to get "busy" to. That beat hits hard! Ha! It's cool how music can give people a different vibe!
My friend who isn’t a huge LZ fan once remarked that all of their songs have a “lusty” feel. Even their ballads and heavy rock songs have a pelvic thrusting quality.
This songs is beyond divine ! Beyond majestic! Masterpiece I a little and dull word for this divine music art ! I think even God feel a shiver down his spine while hewring Kashmir after min 6
All the long-haired hippies rockin' out to this...passing joints of boof weed, happy dancing, loving hard. Best times ever. Bonham's drumbeat is unparalleled...Plant's moaning...cat calling....Page's haunting guitar....All Perfection!!
This song feels so funky. The drums at the beginning are playing in a different time signature from the strings. It gives the whole thing a very trippy feel. Who else thinks of stuff like that?
What makes this interesting is the tension of time signatures: all of them played at 3/4 while the drum was at 4/4. Then the vocal floats above the tension
I enjoy your videos thank you for posting this is my favorite song of all time I also have it as my ringtone I enjoy watching your videos I'm in Sacramento California rock on bro
Imagine this. 1977 2:00 am I-70 . You're driving across country . You are toasted .Roads are black and the snow is starting to fall like you were in a tunnel star chamber Stereo blasting Kashmir.... You are never the same again as you are lost forever....down the rabbit hole...
Look at the original album Physical Graffiti not this crap “Mothership” compilation Plant and Page wrote this traveling across the Morocco desert - hadn’t been to Kashmir yet. John Paul Jones adds the swirling key and mellotron (a whole string section in a keyboard) The guitars are a very special tuning - Jimmy Page layers them The “war” beat is the progression of the caravan through the desert When I saw them in 1977 - Kashmir just ripped the head off things You need to sit down with this whole album - all 4 sides straight through Let me take you there....
I saw Zep in San Diego 1977. I went with my aunt. I wanted to cry as a 6 yr old when Plant started in on this song. It was moving. To this day, This is the pinnacle of Zep songs. I think that they hit their zenith with this sing and album. It is pure perfection from composition to lyricism.
If you read what I stated they were driving in Morocco - it inspired them to write a song about another far away journey - Kashmir A place they had not yet traveled to.
@@audiotomb I apologise. My understanding was that they were traveling through Kashmir, a very desolate, barren place. I'm in no way an expert, except Zeppelin is my favorite! I remember being about 16 years old and listening to this song at the "party apartment", smoking quite a bit. I swore I went through a time warp or put under some type of spell when Plant sings, "got to find where I've been....ahhhhhhhh hhh..." I think that was the lyrics. Anyway, I apologise for being "pissy" (my words) with my comment. Whether I think I was right or if I was wrong, the comment was worthless. But my spell I was put under when I was 16... well that is my comment. I'm babbling. It's been a difficult day. Please accept my apology.
I Have been drumming since 1969, my dad was here from Sweden and Finland, I was the first children in this country from my dad. And he had a family crest from the old country of a shield, hammer, and sword. His father was killed by the Russians when they invaded Finland. He was in an orphinage in Finland at 5 yrs. old. It's mind blowing what my dad overcame coming here in the Army and Korea, and Viet Nam. It was like dad! He was a tough soul and me as one of five children, grew up with that man. He always talked about his Viking Heritage. "We come from the land of the ice and snow" I want to thank Jamel for bringing back, those memories of my dad.
It is just wonderfully Exhausting to listen to this song. Such energy and power, Bonham's drums, Plant's vocals coupled with Jones and Page... Simply sublime..!
This quarantine/isolation/whatever you call it-has been difficult and isolating. You are a very welcome friend to my day. I am 61 years old, and lots of times the music you try out is ripped from my iTunes. I love it!!! Thank you for sharing not only your reactions but also a tiny peek inside your beautiful soul.

That's my fave Led Zeppelin song
Know you like Neil Peart but John Henry Bonham is the " GREATEST RR DRUMMER EVER "
Check out Puff Daddy - Come With Me and maybe you will see why you know the riff😉
Kashmir is a frickin masterpiece.
"Masterpiece" is a huge understatement

This is not a song, it is a magical trip to the unknown. Greatest rock band of all time.
Greatest, hard to say but this is comment is decent
@@robertbarnes428 Only one who is probably above them is Beatles no one more
Thor once said that nothing could pound like his hammer.

The hammer of the gods.

The awesome sound of a thunderstorm is simply John Bonham dusting off his drum kit.
Omg! Yes!!!
He Was the heart beat! Driving all of his brothers to achieve...
Kashmir is not just a song, it's a journey.
It’s not a song, it’s a journey and it’s my top favorite.
Well said
I recently described it as a 'sonic journey'.
To me this was the song, not Stairway To Heaven, that solidified Led Zeppelin as one of the greatest bands of all time, legends.
Absolutely!
Truth.
Exactly! And Most High is Kashmir Part II
I absolutely fuckin agree...one of the best songs EVER
Greatest rock band ever 🇬🇧

Mmmm... not gonna agree... but I can't disagree. It's up there for sure.

ALWAYS
Them and Pink Floyd. Easily get lost in both! 🤘❤
Robert Plant said in an interview that Kashmir was his all time favorite & out of all their recordings, Stairway to heaven was his least
Stairway is my least fav too
That's because Robert Plant is a man of taste and sophistication.

Jamel, you have to admit within their genre ... there was NO other band of their ilk that was putting out hard hitting rock as fine as Led Zep.
Yeah. The bar was set so high - even today most hard rock pales in comparison to Led Zepplin.
Cream !
Greta Van Fleet tries though
The Who and Zep dominated the 70s
YESSSSS
I was 9 years old in 1970 I heard whole lotta love and there was no turning back. Led Zeppelin is my life.

That's amazing. I always knew there was something so unique about it, but being a non musician I could never figure-out why. Thank you!!
Additionally, the drums are played as a lead instrument unlike their usual support role.

Lyrics wrong yet understandable considering anyone listening to this gets high as the band Led Zeppelin was a lighter than airship...fortunately many passengers were rich nazis ...ha roasted.
Unfortunately you won’t experience it but for us that grew up in the 70’s or 80’s this song immediately takes you back to a certain place in time.
In my Mustang blowing up those cheap speakers
I had a blast during the 70's. Barely remember any of it!
Like this place: When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV. -Mike Damone, Fast Times at Ridgemont High
ok, boomer ;-)
@@genghiskhan7041 That’s right! Most of the late 70’s and early 80’s are such a blur all I know is I rocked my wild and crazy b_tt off! Keep on rockin’ in the free world!!!!!!!
Robert Plant has said this is his favorite Zeppelin song, one of mine also
It's nice to know that Plant agrees with me😉! This is my favourite Zeppelin tune!
Yeah...worthy!
Well Mr. Plant I'll say it's definitely one of your best.
I heard he cried after recording these vocals, he was so emotional.
The rain song it's my favorite
One of the all time greatest, song and band.
You Need to hear "No Quarter"
Both Zeppelins version and the awesome cover by TOOL.
It’s a shame I can only give this comment one 👍
Oh damn! "No Quarter" is another masterpiece. I believe it was largely written by Paul Jones.
Yes
@@SrbijaCG I believe its the only song Tool ever covered. It was supposed to be on some Zeppelin tribute album but wasn't for some reason.
We used to hear this by a really kick ass band at our favorite metal bar. As soon as the lights went down and we heard that first riff we’d fight our way up to the stage and spark up and let them take us on a journey.
Probably my favorite Led Zeppelin song, followed closely by The Ocean.
For me it's When The Levee Breaks then this, but it changes on different days!
Jamel has been blessed by Kashmir, yeah for you brother.............
1975 RELEASED ,,,,, THE 70s Baby
I don't always listen to the zeppelin, but when I do so does every one 🤣🤣🤣
Kashmir is the greatest rock song ever written. Led Zeppelin wants to be known for this song. Saw them sing this in Albuquerque in the 70s .
My first and favorite Led Zep song. I’m glad we finally shared it.
I got to hear them play "Kashmir" live, early in their '75 tour, right before Physical Graffiti was released (the album it's on). I had seen them live before, had all their albums, knew all their work up to that point. But here was this grand song (along with "In My Time of Dying" & "Trampled Underfoot"), brand new & I was hearing its thunderous beauty being performed in person for the first time.
I was well acquainted with Zep's greatness but even so I couldn't believe my ears.
I feel like my spirit still vibrates at the memory.💙🌿💚
Steve Perry who ? ROBERT PLANT 5 MIN THREW 5, MIN 9 SECOUNDS IN THIS RECORDING NIGHT NIGHT ,,
Jamel u said "sounds like ur ready to go to war." For me, it's always been my favorite song to get "busy" to. That beat hits hard! Ha! It's cool how music can give people a different vibe!
So true. Sign of a truly great song: great for fighting or f***ing. HA
Zeppelin is most definitely THE best music to “get busy” to. The beat. The lilting grace of it all.
Think I’ll go wake the husband now.
My friend who isn’t a huge LZ fan once remarked that all of their songs have a “lusty” feel. Even their ballads and heavy rock songs have a pelvic thrusting quality.
Physical Graffiti was a historical event. It's good to see you taking the tour.
Kashmir isn't a genius song, but a journey that only comes once in a lifetime. Masterpiece.
Holy hell, I got a notification! Woohoo! Always lovely to revisit Led Zeppelin! Loved your calling you out video 🤣🤣🤣
Dazed and Confused is my all-time favorite Led Zeppelin song and this one is the second one.
When someone asks me what my favorite Led Zeppelin song is (twice maybe three times in my life) I always say Kashmir.
Yup. Same
My favorite also.... great song.
I say Trampled Underfoot
Me too
This songs is beyond divine ! Beyond majestic! Masterpiece I a little and dull word for this divine music art ! I think even God feel a shiver down his spine while hewring Kashmir after min 6
This song IS quintessential Led Zeppelin!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this Jamel!!
Possibly the greatest drumming on any song or genre in history. Just incredible!!
My favorite Zep song
Yesssss! Hell yessss!
Love it! John Bonham beating those drums like they owed him money and talked smack about his sister.
Such a great song, I love how Jon Paul Jones used the Mellotron to basically emulate the effect of a small orchestra in this song
Really? Wow, I had no idea. I legitimately thought a real orchestra was used in the recording of this track. Learn something new every day!
I seen them perform with an entire orchestra...phenomenal
All the long-haired hippies rockin' out to this...passing joints of boof weed, happy dancing, loving hard. Best times ever. Bonham's drumbeat is unparalleled...Plant's moaning...cat calling....Page's haunting guitar....All Perfection!!
We love Zeppelin as much as you wanna post them ♥️🎶🎸🎤♥️
This song feels so funky. The drums at the beginning are playing in a different time signature from the strings. It gives the whole thing a very trippy feel. Who else thinks of stuff like that?
Please give “Over the Hills & Far Away” a listen 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
📣💯💯💯
I think he has. One of my favourites, that acoustic!!!
Bonzo was a one-of-a-kind talent and just an absolute beast on the drums.
What makes this interesting is the tension of time signatures: all of them played at 3/4 while the drum was at 4/4. Then the vocal floats above the tension
Exactly
If you want Led Zeppelin and 'Going to war' please check out 'The Immigrant Song'.
Agreed. #suggestion immagrant song.
He did it.
It’s about the Vikings invading Britain
Yes! My favorite Zeppelin tune 📀🎸
sexiest beat ever laid down in rock history
John Paul Jones on the Mellotron.
JPJ played more instruments than any of the other players combined !!
I'd only recently been corrected on that, having expected that it to be an actual orchestra!
JPJ is a genius!
He has the violins and the cellos playing counterpoint in this - superb...
Plus, playing that monster bass line on pedals...
I enjoy your videos thank you for posting this is my favorite song of all time I also have it as my ringtone I enjoy watching your videos I'm in Sacramento California rock on bro
Me too! Favorite song and ringtone I mean 😁
Woot, Sacramento!
@@kimberlysaffles9332 you rock
@@phillawson9453 and You rock as well lol
Imagine this.
1977 2:00 am I-70 .
You're driving across country . You are toasted .Roads are black and the snow is starting to fall like you were in a tunnel star chamber
Stereo blasting Kashmir....
You are never the same again as you are lost forever....down the rabbit hole...
That hot smoky drum beat set the tone for everything else going on. They were magic together as a group. Love it.
Bonham rules!
OMG @Jamel!
I've so waited for this, and never knew you had it on chan2.
Thanks!!
Yeah I’m trying to see which ones I can bring back🤞🏾
@@jamelakajamal You're 1 of the few great ppl that do awesome reactions
@@jamelakajamal
You da man!
No seriously, I visit a lot of reactors .. but you, sir, are the gold standard!
Look at the original album Physical Graffiti not this crap “Mothership” compilation
Plant and Page wrote this traveling across the Morocco desert - hadn’t been to Kashmir yet.
John Paul Jones adds the swirling key and mellotron (a whole string section in a keyboard)
The guitars are a very special tuning - Jimmy Page layers them
The “war” beat is the progression of the caravan through the desert
When I saw them in 1977 - Kashmir just ripped the head off things
You need to sit down with this whole album - all 4 sides straight through
Let me take you there....
I saw Zep in San Diego 1977. I went with my aunt. I wanted to cry as a 6 yr old when Plant started in on this song. It was moving. To this day, This is the pinnacle of Zep songs. I think that they hit their zenith with this sing and album. It is pure perfection from composition to lyricism.
What’s wrong with Mothership? Why does it matter which version he finds on TH-cam?
Kashmir is India, not Morocco
If you read what I stated they were driving in Morocco - it inspired them to write a song about another far away journey - Kashmir
A place they had not yet traveled to.
@@audiotomb I apologise. My understanding was that they were traveling through Kashmir, a very desolate, barren place. I'm in no way an expert, except Zeppelin is my favorite! I remember being about 16 years old and listening to this song at the "party apartment", smoking quite a bit. I swore I went through a time warp or put under some type of spell when Plant sings, "got to find where I've been....ahhhhhhhh hhh..." I think that was the lyrics. Anyway, I apologise for being "pissy" (my words) with my comment. Whether I think I was right or if I was wrong, the comment was worthless. But my spell I was put under when I was 16... well that is my comment. I'm babbling. It's been a difficult day. Please accept my apology.
Other Led Zeppelin - How many more times, The song remains the same, Misty mountain hop, Dancing days.
PS- I forgot. What is and what should never be.
Misty Mountain Hop is bomb!
He sings it like a Sufi chanting. Yes, he's trying to put himself and the listener in a trance
I Have been drumming since 1969, my dad was here from Sweden and Finland, I was the first children in this country from my dad. And he had a family crest from the old country of a shield, hammer, and sword. His father was killed by the Russians when they invaded Finland. He was in an orphinage in Finland at 5 yrs. old. It's mind blowing what my dad overcame coming here in the Army and Korea, and Viet Nam. It was like dad! He was a tough soul and me as one of five children, grew up with that man. He always talked about his Viking Heritage. "We come from the land of the ice and snow" I want to thank Jamel for bringing back, those memories of my dad.
First heard this in my twenties, Forties years later still the best amazing musicians !!!!
Yes, now 65+
It is just wonderfully Exhausting to listen to this song. Such energy and power, Bonham's drums, Plant's vocals coupled with Jones and Page... Simply sublime..!
This quarantine/isolation/whatever you call it-has been difficult and isolating.
You are a very welcome friend to my day.
I am 61 years old, and lots of times the music you try out is ripped from my iTunes.
I love it!!!
Thank you for sharing not only your reactions but also a tiny peek inside your beautiful soul.
You make the all difference in my life some days!
❤️
Nothing tops this song. It's otherworldly.
