Bonham plays a steady 4:4 beat behind the opening melody/riff which is 6:8 time. The beats only match up every 12 bars. Solid.

[@barrydownard9798]

@@gandhialwaysleavesanonion679 Bonham is playing a rock 4 beats to the bar, and Page's guitar riff is playing a different tempo in 6:8 time signature. That's what gives it an unusual, uneasy feel... almost as if Bonham is getting the beat wrong. Which of course he's not.

I consider this to possibly the best studio recording of all time for any rock n roll album. I hear: great vocals, great drum play, great guitar work, great bass, great organ, strings galore, possibly a synthesizer, and who know what else? They didn't waste any of this recording tape for this recording session. I can't do any justice to a music structure on this song, but the time signatures in it are brilliant!

Been waiting for weeks to see you guys react to this one. You didn't disappoint. I don't know if you can fully appreciate how fantastic it is to see well informed people from a different generation experience this for the first time. The album was released on my birthday and I was in hospital. My mother bought it and brought it to me in my hospital bed. I had to sit there and look at the record jacket for a week before I could get out and put it on a turntable. I just sat there with my mouth open for an hour and a half. Remember this was 1975. It was both evolutionary and revolutionary. It still amazes me today and even more amazing to see it having the same impact on you guys nearly 50 years later. Bravo.

All Zep songs were written out, but Plant improvised the extra emphasis and magical gift of a voice he was given...

Enjoy the Zep 'rabbit hole'!!!!!!

“Just thought it was normal” It was normal, back then, but extraordinary in every way. Nothing like it before or since. If I have any kind of privilege it’s having grown up listening to magic.

The drums are in 4/4 time throughout, while the verses are principally in 6/8; so it seems straightforward, but decidedly not. This track is an epic masterpiece!

[@waynekerr3598]

Yes, exactly, 2 different time signatures going on at the same time. Bonzo keeping a 4/4 rhythm throughout, while the rest of the instruments during each verse play in 6/8. The effect is otherworldly!

Syncopation bro'!

Guy's, my heart is uplifted when I witness the younger generation listen to and enjoy tracks that I heard back in the 70's (yes, I'm old 67) when we heard these tracks we had the same reactions, it was a time of musical innovation, Zepplin, Sabbath, Purple, Floyd and Yes, just some of my favourites and still listening to them.

[@2zxodcfm]

This is one of my top shelf rock standards. While each player here is exceptional, I'm glad you acknowledge JPJ. Even on his own he is a extraordinary instrumental force field.

[@stewpot6998]

Amazing song. It's that 4 over 3 groove. And when you hear Bonham loosen up the hi-hat and toss in the snare and crash at the end, so good. I also notice all the places he could crash and he lays off. Glad you guys loved this one. Thanks. 😎👍

[@mattsmith8901]

Yes……John understood restraint.

[@Sunking210]

I've always maintained that the last 2 minutes of "Kashmir" is the greatest piece of music ever recorded!

[@herrzimm]

Zepplin's Kashmir "riff" is one of the most ICONIC riffs ever recorded. It has been sampled or copied 1000's of times since this was released. Most of the time you will have the music track (no lyrics) playing over a scene in a show or movie as well, especially when you are looking for a "build up moment" (montage) before the main action kicks off.

It's epic! P.S. I heard my Giants played your Dodgers this weekend. How'd that go?😂

Plant is very much an improvisational type of singer. Every time he sings a song it's different from the last time. I've seen him multiple times over the last 50 years and every time rhe songs are performed differently. You have been going through the studio albums, and by the way, you need to continue to the end or you are going to miss some absolute classics of rock history. You also need to start doing some live versions, particularly at Knebworth, MSG and O2 Arena. Studo versions are one thing but you are entering another level when you take in some of these live performances.

"A real gangster record..." - can't say I've ever heard it described that way, but you're spot on!! Zeppelin went all-in, hard, trippy, groovin' with this album - so many styles, but they all compliment each other so well. A true masterpiece!! And as a long time listener, follower, lover of John Paul Jones - again, spot on - if you can't describe what it is, chances are, it's JPJ!! No truer words be spoken. The dynamic between JPJ & Bonham is immeasurable - definitely ranks in my top 5 rhythm sections of all time (along with Geddy Lee/Neil Peart, John Deacon/Roger Taylor...to name a couple) Great reaction to a stellar track!

Bonhams "fills" are simply Legendary but also his tactical pauses have been analyzed and thought insanely talented as well! Bonham hits a pocket and stays until he feels a fill needs to be added. These slight personal touches of what and more of "how" he does these fills take carrying the beat to leading at times and Bonzo was able to do so only because of the incredible ability of JPJ and Page to adjust on the fly and fall in line. What you basically are experiencing is Rock on the highest musicianship level there possibly is. The layered engineering of this track is mind blowing. Watch this performance LIVE! It is a MUST listen/watch!! Enjoy~

The song is in 6/8 time and Bonzo is playing in 4/4 time! Jpj got to the studio late when Jimmy Page and the others were finishing up the song! The song is mainly backed up buy strings and horn sections from a orchestra! The only time Jimmy put back up musicians on their songs! Jpj added the mellotron late in the recording what you hear mostly is Jimmy's hypnotic riff in dadgag tuning and a full orchestra! That's what carries the song! The orchestra was a lot of Arab musicians from Morocco that's why this song has a Arabian feel to it! Jimmy is a wizard!

Been waiting for you guys to get to this epic! It’s probably my favorite Zep song, which says a LOT, considering how many legendary songs they have. Bonzo, JPJ and Page all put you in a mesmerized trance with the steady and heavy groove. It has a middle eastern feel with mythic lyrics. Plant has an INCREDIBLE delivery which completely jives with the instrumental and lyrical theme. This entire song is genius.

Sometimes I imagine that this song is floating through the universe forever ✨️

Check out the Knebworth 1979 concert performance. The camera work lets you see Bonham in full flight. Magnificent.

Happy Father's Day to you gentlemen! This is my absolute favorite Zeppelin song!! Yes, Bonham was off the chain, and so was Plant. The musicianship on this one single is so superior, there is no rival.

[@bassvibasics479]

This is the Big One! Enjoy! You might remember it from the Jimmy Page/Puff Daddy cover from the 90's movie Godzilla. But this is the masterwork.

They also performed that live on SNL.

If I had to pick one song to listen to on a loop for the rest of my life this would be it.

[@Liriodendron-Ocean]

If you like Kashmir, wait until you get to Achilles Last Stand!!! Another level of mastery, especially by Bonham!! That’s another one you have to listen to live from 1979!

[@snowmanfl]

agreed!

[@cherrypickerguitars]

Hey guys! Ya got me! I finally subbed! So enjoying your reactions. Probably because of the songs you guys select - many of my most fav pieces of music from 65 yrs of living - over 40 of them in the music biz. I’m so happy you can recognize the quality of the songs and the radical superiority of the musicianship! Peace

[@kirkwarburton2277]

If you guys could react to Kashmir live at the Celebration Day concert you’ll see them do it amazingly well live when they are quite a bit older - and Page is still brilliant! Plus Jason Bonham is great on the drums.

Looks like they tried to but it was pulled because of some copyright salad.

[@susiedawson3349]

They had a symphony orchestra play on this recording that JPJ arranged due to his formal musical training. Horns and strings.
