Kashmir (IPA: [kaʃmiːr]) is the northernmost geographical region of the Indian subcontinent. Until the mid-19th century, the term "Kashmir" denoted only the Kashmir Valley between the Great Himalayas and the Pir Panjal Range.

@@jamesmcclain5005 Not only that, "Shangri-La" is the name of a place in the 1933 adventure novel "Lost Horizon," based on the city in Chinese mythology called, "Shamballah." Robert Plant really loves adventure fiction, so he may have read it when he was in school, or possibly may have seen the 1937 film. The song itself was inspired not by a trip to Kashmir, but by a vacation Plant and Page took across Morocco. The province of Kashmir, itself, has lush high meadows, evergreen forests and deep valleys carved by cold streams. All that said, this is (in my opinion) Led Zeppelin's finest song.

The tuning on this song is set to DADGAG instead of standard tuning. The droning of those extra strings in addition to the scales Jimmy is improvising over. Robert Plant has employed the "quarter tones" commonly heard in Indian and Arabic music. These are little notes between the notes we are accustomed to.

Just to let you know, it’s the drummer that came up with that hypnotic riff. He hummed it to Jimmy Page, who developed it into what we hear. On top of that, the bass player John Paul Jones scored an orchestra with strings and horns over the top of everything, along with playing a keyboard known as the Mellotron which had string sounds. The effect on the drum kit was a phaser. This is what you would call an epic song. It’s cinematic. It “takes you there”. You can imagine somebody walking through miles and miles of sand dunes, Going up and down with that feeling of despair and exhaustion, trying to get to the Shangri-La in his mind, Kashmir.

This song actually is the one, all the band members are most proud of, it’s far more complex then they make it sound. The music for it actually took a couple years, to get it exactly how they wanted it to sound. I believe JPJ told Page it couldn’t be done, & Page said yes it can, & Page was right of course. Plant & Page drove across the Sahara Desert, on their was to a music festival, & the lyrics tell the story. They met the elders who lived like a time in the past, they couldn’t speak each other’s language, but the music spoke for all. Plant fell in love with Morocco while there, & to this day still visits often. In the 90’s when Plant & Page reunited to tour, they got musicians from the region to tour with them. Yes this song live at Knebworth (1979) is even more amazing, so many of their live performances our outstanding. Try In My Time Of Dying live at Earls Court (1975) Page plays the hell out of a steel guitar.

John Bonham and Jimmy Page were waiting for the other two for a rehearsal. Jimmy says I,ve had this riff stuck in my head for a while and I can't figure out what to do with it and plays it for Bonzo. He starts drumming this beat, (see polyphonic video about Bonzo for more) People high up in the record company hated this long. dark song and referred to it as a dirge .(funeral music) In the Knebworth version watching him drum the end of this song, and how both Plant and Page turn their backs to the audience to show Bonham their respect for his contribution to this song. Shows why no one could replace him.

Jeez - don't they teach History and/or Geography in school anymore? Kashmir is a region in India (actually, think it was divided between Pakistan and India). It's called "paradise on earth". Oh, also, FM rock stations (the NON-top 40/pop stations, anyway) didn't cut songs back then. Not sure if they do now. It was a matter of honor to play the whole song/piece - no matter how long. AM stations cut the hell out of songs. When I was little and heard The Doors on AM radio, I assumed that the 2 minutes I heard was the song and never cared for it. Later, when I discovered FM radio, I heard the instrumental that I never knew existed.

Robert Plant used to go to Morocco quite often and on one trip he met Geddy Lee by accident. Geddy tells how he and his wife were in Morocco and they were checking into their room and a guy that looked like Robert Plant walked out of the room across the hall. They were both a little startled. Later at dinner Robert Plant came over and introduced himself and then they had drinks. Pretty cool eh?

Next should be Zeppelin's classic ballad, *"The Rain Song",* it is gorgeous! Quick story behind it. Former Beatle George Harrison was a big Zeppelin fan and he was hanging out with them after a Zeppelin concert, when he said, *_"You guys are great, the only problem with you is that you don't write any ballads."_* So Jimmy Page took that as a personal challenge to write a beautiful ballad, which he called, *"The Rain Song".* And as an homage to George Harrison who inspired Jimmy to write the song, Jimmy made the first couple chords that open the song the same exact chords that open Harrison's famous Beatles' song, *"Something".* If you know The Beatles' song, you'll recognize the chords right away at the beginning of, *"The Rain Song".* But it's quick, it's just the first couple chords.
