That song is the definition of the word "epic". It sounds like it's the aural version of wide-screen.

Robert Plant has often said in public that Kashmir is the song he felt was Zeppelin's best track that symbolizes everything they were trying to express & embodied all the elements that ever influenced them as musicians. Great reaction, I like how you described it and how it made you feel. Keep going down the Led Zep rabbit hole. It is massive & powerful! Check out "the Rover", "In the Evening", "Over the Hills & Far Away" and "No Quarter." Enjoy~

I've heard that all of the members of the band were particularly proud of this song. Close your eyes when listening and it does take you there. He's looking for the lost city of Shangri-la. This can be a metaphor for an Earthly paradise. Once you visit you never want to leave. If you leave you may never find it again.

I really envy you hearing all this brilliant music for the first time. When I was young great music like this was commonplace. You have so much to look forward to

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

It sounds like godzilla because it is. Diddy sampled it and Jimmy agreed to it as long as he played guitar for it. You can see Jimmy playing in the music video for it

I have to admit that l didn't care much for this song, that is until l saw them do it in concert, now l can't say enough about how amazing they're performance was!🤟🤪

Yah. This song is 100% an epic journey, like some caravan through the Sarah desert. I think the genius of the lyrics and music is that it allows the listeners' imagination to paint some amazing imagery without being too concrete. Kind of like the shifting desert sands or a mirage on the horizon. BTW The Mothership album is a compilation album. They have 9 original studio albums. Check out Over the Hills and Far Away... or anything really.

Damn Zeppelin is awesome

Listen to Since I've Been Loving You the studio version first and then the live version from 1973 at MSG....will blow you away

Just come across you. Kashmir!!! This lad is about to have his mind blown in DADGAD

"immigrant Song" is another you may have heard before but not realised it was them. it has been used in movies, like "Thor: Ragnarok" for one... peace

Try their song, Since I've been loving you

It is grand, majestic, cinematic. It is an original song about a road trip vocalist Robert Plant took through Morocco (not Kashmir) so what you're hearing are North African tones. Zep was always a fan of the fantastical, spiritual, magickal, and mystical so if you detect elements of that, it could very well be. In general, art is unique to the individual so what you get out of it is meaningful to you and may be completely different from someone else but no less valid. It was rare that Zep had anyone else play on their songs but this has some string instruments that were arranged by bassist John Paul Jones and they really help lend tension to the overall piece. FYI - "Mothership" is their "best of" album; this song originally came out on their album called "Physical Graffiti". You've heard 2 out 3 of their epics - Stairway To Heaven, Kashmir and the last being Achilles Last Stand so maybe make it a trifecta and do Achilles next.

Yep Jimmy Page worked with Puff Daddy to produce the Godzilla theme "Come with me" But you need to see the guys just after death of their drummer John (Bonzo) Bonham and his son stepped in on drums to play with Jimmy, John Paul & Robert Led Zeppelin - "Kashmir" live Celebration Day An incredible version from guys later in their awesome career😉

So many people think that "Stairway to Heaven" was Zeppelin's defining song , but it's one of my least favorite song of theirs. Zeppelin or some of the members came to hate it too. And they really thought that "Kashmir" was their defining moment. The Beatles & the Rolling Stones had both famously took trips to Morocco & so did Zeppelin to get those Eastern sounds & influences. Please listen to "Babe I'm gonna leave you" thx. The Beatles put out Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band after their visit & it's obvious right a way.

Just one of the top 500 led songs

Yes this is the original no samples here all zeppelin! They we're inspired when they were driving through the Morocco desert on a very long desolate road!

Yes, sex, drugs, and rock n roll were apart of their seen in the 70s,and they did partake in that lifestyle also writing great songs about that lifestyle. The lasting appeal of Zeppelin has not only been the incredible musician ship but being able to take you to places you never thought possible. the myth, and mystery of Led Zeppelin is a fascinating one for fans, and other musicians all over the world. They could never be pigeon hold into a box, but rather an onion peeling back the layers. such a great band arguably one of the best

That fade out at the end… like an epic long track movie that changed your life, ending, finale.

This is my all-time favourite song so I wish I could be like you listening to it for the first time.

My favorite band and this song is so good ❤

It was actually inspired by a journey to Morocco rather than Kashmir, and they were inspired by the music they heard there too so there are some influences in the song from that trip. Robert Plant has been back to Morocco several times as he loves the place and finds it inspiring. Kashmir is probably a better title for singing (2 syllables instead of 3). The Mothership is a compilation of songs from their other albums.

The live performance of this song in 2007 is actually better than this studio version. Plants voice is actually better, believe it or not, and Jason plays his fathers riffs on this song perfectly. Celebration Day 2007 live performance. It will give you goosebumps.

Aren't they magnificent?

My favorite Zepp song😌

Definitely got to listen to over the hills and far away, studio or live on tsrts, either version is phenomenal 🙌

Cashmere is the fabric, Kashmir is an area in India brother

One of the greatest rock songs ever made no doubt! Anyone hear the Page & Plant version with the Egyptian / Orchestra? EPIC (Irvine Meadows Amphitheater) Try When the Levee Breaks about the 1927 flood in Mississippi - The drum intro and harmonica by Robert are #legendary

This for me is a difficult song, musically, I'd love to hear Pink Floyd perform this, the drums are so out there, I'd describe it as jazz with all the wrong instruments lol, would love your reaction to an early one, Whole lot of Love, it's so basic , my top 3 band of all time.

Masterpiece ❤

Turn it up!!

Great interpretation!

Try when the levee breaks

U have to try and listen "Achilles Last Stand"(Live in Knebworth 1979)

Nice reaction to this great song, new subscriber!

Cashmere used to be some great hashish back in the day

This song is quintessential Led Zeppelin as stated by Robert Plant….not Stairway To Heaven!!!! Works great for me it’s been my fave song sing 1975 when it came out!!!!

BONHAM!

Found your reaction! I think may I suggest,oblique is the word you want for a song with an obscurity about it. Cheers

Subscribed...!

Lol the word I think of hearing this song is epic! Yes the guitarist the great Jimmy Page Caleb with Puff Daddy to rework this song for that stupid movie a lot Led Zeppelin fans thought it was abomination including me.

Aint no denying... When im talking to you...

Yea. Dumbfounded. Everyone has that reaction the first time.

Again, don't care for the remastered versions. This sounds too "bright" and sharp. Anyway, enjoyed your reaction. Thanks!

Magnum Opus

Highland Spring still water you had there?? :D

Yes this is the original, however they were influenced by music of the mid and far east.

Stop wasting your time n go to the live version so you can see master at work
