I love how the elder gentleman called Bonham Ustad. Here's a person with such a different context for this music and in just a few minutes of exposure can see what we all know Bonham was a master at his craft.
Agreed. This truly makes me want to see his reaction to some of Bonham’s other work. If he can tell that Bonham is a master at his craft based on a few minutes of one of Led Zeppelin’s lesser live shows, imagine his opinion if he heard Led Zeppelin in their prime. Remember: this recording was taken in 1979 at the Knebworth shows. Led Zeppelin was still a force, but they were later in their career and past their peak.
All the gentlemen have it right, "Kashmir" is a metaphor for that distant and exotic place we all yearn to see, but are either incapable of, or perhaps even dread, traveling to.
THIS^ to a westerner, Kasmir is an exotic place we idolize in our minds, and yearn to see such a place. we know the real place will be different, but its the Version of Kasmir we WISH we could see..
want answers ..., listen to Van Der Graaf Generators album Still Life , the notion being despite the idea of motion and movement we're static and so on...., check out other tracks like ''my room '' ''magog in bromine chambers'' and if you like that listen to peter hammells solo album ''Fools Mate'' if you're already into van der graaf i apologise for sounding off like a crass twat. laters
@binxbolling what's popular and what's good are rarely the same. All of those bands are good to great(or the Police), but none threw down like Led Zeppelin. Nirvana is only classic rock on a technicality, they have their own style of music and don't belong in the same sentence as Queen or Pink Floyd.
Yeah they really get into it. Fantastic trio - talking of which I would love to see them react to Rush particularly Xanadu from Exit Stage Left. Ustad would be used an awful lot I suspect but also I think the meaning of the lyrics would really appeal to their wisdom
@@RichardMathews-gv7lb I literally left a comment asking for that Xanadu performance on a previous post. Think Rush would def blow their minds if they enjoyed this so much! Great minds!
omg right?! I love them!!! The first video I saw was from Disturbed, and I immediately believed that Muharam is a hippie and because of these videos, he’s got a sweet vinyl collection.
This was the perfect Led Zeppelin song to play for these gentlemen...Most people like the song but don't understand it, but they understood it. They really felt the passion in Robert Plants voice and appreciated the musicians. Led Zeppelin is the greatest Rock band "Ever"...This was a great reaction!
Abdul hit the nail on the head: We are all travelers. Wise words from a wise man. I think, that's like going far away to come home...In thoughts as well as in real life.
I’ve listened to this music for years and years and years. It means a great deal to me, but hearing how these gentlemen feel it themselves opens up a little gap in my own knowledge. It makes me see it fresh again. Worthy insights. ♥️
Muharam Khan is the most emotional and passionate of them, he gets excited at every band. If he was born in the western world, he would be front row at many live gigs 🤘
2:16 "The real journey is this life and it's light that we are in. Like this light has a life too, even its journey has to end." Wow, so profound and they haven't even started the music yet! I wonder what sort of philosophical wisdom the western world had missed out on because of our prejudices.
The Western world even wiped out their own precious history; we basically know nothing of the enormous body and variety of European music from before the Catholic church took charge of what was acceptable and wiped the slate clean, only allowing the most rigorously rule-bound early Gregorian chanting which served as part of mass and praise for Mari, Jesus, God... built upon literally formulaic rules for constructing unisono melodies sung only by men, before gradually things became more complex and artistic and a bit more free, but virtually all Western music styles are built upon that same rigid foundation, all the way up to jazz, and it's become ingrained in us. That's why when Westerners first studied African tribes making complex polyrhythmic music, their ears simply couldn't process it and they discarded it as a bunch of savages hitting drums completely randomly - only much later were the immensely artistic intricacies of African music styles begun to be understood as through long research and analysis, and working with such peoples from different backgrounds, the deliberate rhythms of tribal music were figured out - and to many people's surprise found to be more accomplished and complex than the most avant garde rhythms that any Western Musician was making at the time. Yet of course, to the African it was second nature, because they grew up learning to feel these complex sounds and rhythms, learning to improvise in their groups meanwhile just experiencing joy and social connection and expression and bliss in music. To this day, the standard 4/4 (sometimes 3/4) overarching, even-sounding ('tempered' as a classical Western musician would proudly say- more like rigid) time signatures completely dominate Western music and few are those artists who really dared to collaborate with and learn from cultures that are unfamiliar to them. Those few who did mutually connect with those other cultures and went through journeys of learning from one another, were almost all artists from before the '90s. I'd have to think that Paul Simon was the last big Western artist who made a masterpiece of successful co-interaction and mutual learning and mixing of musical cultures that had truly different roots. Check out the documentary/bio based on the making of and impact of the Graceland album, including reunion between the artists, called "(Paul Simon:) Under African Skies" for the last amazing example of true artistry crossing political, cultural, social and racial boundaries to make for an unforgettable journey and an everlastingly beautiful, inspiring and unique album.
Yes, Chacha, John "Bonzo" Bonham is definitely an Ustad - to drummers like me, one of the very most high of the very most high. Not only do we have him to thank for so much great music and so much inspiration and influence on how we play our instrument, I personally have him to thank for being a musician at all. I heard Led Zeppelin for the first time when a friend played it for me at school when I was 13, and that was it - I wanted to do what I was hearing. Sadly, he died young at only 31 years old from the effects of alcoholism, only months after this performance was recorded in fact, and the band immediately ended. They put out a very brief statement that said that with the death of their friend, "we can no longer go on as we were." This was a band of four Ustads, and contributions of Ustad John Paul Jones on bass, keyboards, and so many other instruments are the most underrated when people talk about them. He was the mortar that held the bricks together.
1. I am going to listen to that if it exists. 2. Yeah bruv. Ensembles and orchestras who meticulously and creatively play well known pop music are often awesome. Nu Dec Ensemble doing their daft punk suite "Humans vs. Robots" is maybe one of my actual favorite yutube vids of all time.
Thank Goodness!! Zeppelin!!!!..The 70's kicked serious rear! Im 70 and I am sooo happy they get to listen to something like this. They have been "ROCKED"!!
I'm also 70 yrs old. Saw Robert and Allison Krauss perform last summer. It is incredible how he continues to reinvent himself! He says he doesn't have time to write a book, but I sure wish he would.😊
I was 16 years old when I discovered this song. It was 1995 and my friend Genna was a Led Zeppelin fan so she was playing their music when we hung out and I was immediately hooked. That was 28 years ago. This song has never left my playlist.
I was 14. Back in 1994. A friend from school gave me a ride home one day with his mom driving. I remember this song came on the radio and I've never heard anything like it in my life. When they told me it was Zeppelin, I didn't believe them for some reason. Never forgot about this song. It's really in its own class.
I'm the same age as you and it was similar for me. I heard someone else at school playing music on their stereo (remember those radio/tape/CD players!) in between classes, I'd never heard the song before and I really liked it so I asked who it was and they said Led Zeppelin. I asked my mom's boyfriend about them because he had a huge record collection and of course he had all of their records and he found a way to put them on tape, so for a long time I had 3 cassette tapes of their first 3 albums. I played them in my car until I finally got a car with a CD player in it. When I got my MacBook and had iTunes for the 1st time, Led Zeppelin was some of the first music I downloaded. The format may change, but the song remains the same.
Amazing! I love learning about other cultures. They prove that music is an international language. I like your site and keep up doing what you're doing! Thanks for allowing me to see what other cultures see!
this has always been my favourite song from led zeppelin, its what made me aware of kashmir. here in canada we do not learn much about india, pakistan or central asia at all, even though we were in wars there, many ppl have no idea other than what news tells them, and arent aware of history or the culture of the areas. im glad to have indian and pakistani coworkers here in canada, ive learned a lot about the region through talking with them with my limited knowledge. i am not trying to compare the two countries, you both are beautifully distinct places that i hope to visit one day. my doctor is pakistani aswell, he is my favourite doctor ive had so far as he suggests lifestyle changes and diet changes before medicine, unless its necessary. so many doctors here will not give you the time of day and just try the quick and easy approach to dealing with you, which isnt the best approach. he doesnt hide that he uses his upbringing in pakistan to suggest inclusions to diet and lifestyle, as a young man i really appreciate his input, i can tell he truly cares about his patients.
This is my favorite Zeppelin song. I’m so glad you chose this one. You guys are all great and intuitive men with good hearts. You guys should go on tour to do live shows and come to Southern California. People would pay good money to see you do this live with live translations both ways. You should live translate the lyrics to them using software or AI. I’d love to meet you all. Additionally, you guys speak so fast, please try to slow down the subtitles
It's such a privilege to get to witness the original "WOW" effect from all of those pearls this world and its people gifted us and we take for granted too often.
I love all of their perspectives and beautiful insights to this, one of my favorite songs from when I was a child to the present. I had to look up what Ustad meant and I absolutely love that description. It's such a passionate song and it really does evoke a journey in the minds eye and I agree with what was said here. It does seem spiritual in nature. All of the key phrases seem to be ascending, others ebb and flow and that again just seems to make me think of traveling through some exotic place and it all sounds so dramatic. Great song, I'm glad they liked it.
It will be nice to now share with them the version in the Celebration day concert, when they are older, wiser, more mature in their skills, certainly Robert's voice
Led Zeppelin Lyrics "Kashmir" Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face With stars to fill my dreams I am a traveler of both time and space To be where I have been Sit with elders of the gentle race This world has seldom seen Talk of days for which they sit and wait All will be revealed Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace Whose sounds caress my ear But not a word I heard could I relate The story was quite clear Oh, oh Oh, oh Ooh, baby, I been flying No yeah, mama, there ain't no denying Oh, ooh, yeah I've been flying Mama, mama, ain't no denying, no denying Oh, all I see turns to brown As the sun burns the ground And my eyes fill with sand As I scan this wasted land Trying to find, trying to find, where I've been Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace Like thoughts inside a dream Here is the path that led me to that place Yellow desert stream My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon I will return again Sure as the dust that floats high in June When moving through Kashmir Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails Across the sea of years With no provision but an open face Along the straits of fear Oh, oh Oh, oh Ooh Oh, when I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, but I'm down, so down Ooh, my baby, ooh, my baby, let me take you there Oh come on, oh, let me take you there... let me take you there Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, let me take you there... let me take you there
I love that Led Zeppelin is returning to inspire the very people who inspired Led Zeppelin. Sublime! A butterfly flaps its wings, and the ripples may echo a thousand years
THANK YOU for bringing this song to the tribal peoples, I love their reactions!!! I learned a new word, Ustad and I love it. Now that they have heard two of their more heartfelt songs, I wonder how they may react to the darkness displayed by Led Zeppelin’s song, Dazed and Confused… the version from their first album has been scaring people for almost 60 years now. Thank you again, god bless!!!
Listening to this song for forty years and all I get from it is the peace and tranquility from being in a place like Kashmir. Away from first world society to let your head clear and calm. As it should be.
It gives me chills watching these men experience something that has been a delight to me all my life. I can see them get their own chills from the music and that feeling of a thrill extends to me, letting me hear this wonderful music as if for the first time again. Thank you for making these videos and thank you to all the participants for their time, their insights and their wide open expressions!!!!! It is life-changing for us probably even more than it is for them!
As a young kid 6 years of age (1982 something), my english was bad and when I heard this song Kashmir I was thinking it was some kind of rice, like Jasmin, Basmati. Then when the music kicked in, I was just - WOW!! Now hearing these young gentlemen talk about it it makes me feel like a kid again - in a good way. Such an wonderful and bombastic song. Great video. PEACE and prosperity to you all.
Fantastic! Thank you so much for posting. Led Zeppelin is my favorite band and Kashmir is such a powerful song! Thank you to the gentleman that you showed it to, as well. It proves how truly transcendent music is.
@@JasonPruett I read the novel a little over 30 years ago. It was very, very good. The lyrics unmistakably reflect the story. Robert Plant must have enjoyed it as much as I did.
@@HazeOfWhearyWater have you ever read alice in wonderland decoded? its on the net in pdf form the author hid a classical education inside the story for his daughter i guess
The 1937 film version of "Lost Horizon" is also quite well done (Frank Capra directed) and evokes the mystical qualities which Europeans associated with the regions of Kashmir, Bhutan and Nepal.
I love these reactions to western music, they have such awesome insight to the instruments & how they are played, to the lyrics & to the performance as a whole, thank you. ❤
When I was a kid, this was my favorite song I'd discovered. It's still right up there toward the top. It just has a groove and a feel to it like no other, but also feels like you've known it all your life, you just needed that band and those instruments to reveal what you already had playing in your heart. They seem to really love guitar music, you should have them watch Steve Vai play with an orchestra his instrumental guitar song called For The Love of God. A truly magical piece of music and shows what an amazing musician he is, as he wrote all the parts, he went to school and learned to write for every instrument.
This song is so special to me. I was young when this song became very popular and I remember how much I loved the message and the music and the song seemed to take me on a trip, a journey to a different place and a better place. Thank you so much! I really enjoyed this song played live at Led Zeppelin's Celebration Day Tour with John Bonham's son Jason Bonham on drums. Some things are definitely better with age and maturity.
I just searched for this last week thinking it was done a couple of years ago. Apparently, someone must have done the same thing and said, "Oh, well, if we didn't do it yet, who isn't looking for it!?" Thank you for sharing.
I love watching these wonderful men, so far away, enjoy what ive loved for so long.....they absolutely get it!!!! The power of music is one of Gods biggest gift. I love that they love Zeppelin ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's great to see that everybody around the world reacts to Kashmir the same way lol! Even the elderly gentleman was digging it. Rock on earthlings, bloody fantastic lol.
My good ness, it's always such a pleasure to watch you gentleman discovering this music I've enjoyed all my life, and especially to hear your wisdom in every comment. Truly you share the appreciation of this just as their most astute and spiritual fans.
Well done guys ... great to see you really got it. Proves music can transcend cultures and bring us all together. Those of us who love this track (and this band), can also appreciate the amazing music that comes from places like India and North Africa, South America and China and Japan. Would love to sit and listen to music with these people and talk about it ... over a beer or a cup of mint tea. Love it! (FYI - I am a 60+ brit who was at this concert back in '79; I play guitar and listen to all kinds of music barring none).
he is right, Kashmir can be a state of mind . . and maybe it is? "I'm a traveler of both time and space To be where I have been .... my shangrila beneath the summer moon, I will return again"
I remember listening to Kashmir alone in my room when i was about 9 & just being amazed by the beauty of it. It definitely has more meaning to me now, as do a lot of their songs. The story for me is now quite clear 😊
I'm so glad to see them really see Led Zeppelin as a major band. I learn so much by listening to these gentlemen talk about what they see and understand about the performers, how they interpret the actions and expressions of Robert Plant. This is a lesson about the world and my own culture.
These gentlemen show how to open yourself to the world - to new and different music and culture. I applaud them for the way the react with heart and soul to new and different music and culture. May we all follow their example.
I really enjoy these videos. These men are very intelligent and have great insight into things we take for granted because we are very familiar for us. It’s like they are seeing them through the eyes of a child seeing things for the first time but with the wisdom that only comes from the experience of a long life.
Morocco was a popular country to visit by musicians in the late 60's/early 70's. They went there to experience the music, culture, and its famous hashish.
Oh we do...... we do!! (I almost ran away from home at like 13 or 14 to go watch them in Seattle. My mom threatened to call the sheriff on the guy that was going to take me and my friend with him. It was a different time.)
I love the profound thoughts these people have i live in the literal middle of the biggest city in my country and we seldom get the peace and calm to reflect like them.
The older gentleman calling Bonham an 'Ustad' is so spot on. Even he noticed the greatness of Bonham's drumming. Love these reactions!
Yup! An " Ustad" is a person with a special skill. Especially involving music! 😉💥
I love how the elder gentleman called Bonham Ustad. Here's a person with such a different context for this music and in just a few minutes of exposure can see what we all know Bonham was a master at his craft.

He says the same of JP in the Stairway Reaction video
Bonham was like one of those Hindu gods with many arms and he used them all for music.

So could it be considered like heaven?
@@jimmyjennings4089 Kasmir happens to be an exotic, but earthly, location. But, depending on an individual's priorities, why not.
I love it when Bonzo is tearing it up and the gentleman says "Hit it!" I said that same thing listening to this in 1975 when I was 16...
I bought Physical Graffiti in November of 1975. I was 15.
At that time I only knew of Trampled Underfoot and Kashmir.
"None of the others had it."
Absolutely the truth, there will never be another like the mighty led zeppelin.
You got that RIGHT. I'll love them forever.
The most streamed classic rock bands are Queen, The Beatles, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, and The Police.
@binxbolling what's popular and what's good are rarely the same. All of those bands are good to great(or the Police), but none threw down like Led Zeppelin.

Brilliant!!
Well done. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That's right ❤
I think Mashoque and Muharam are rockers at heart. Rock on my friends. 🎸❤🇨🇦
In another life, Mashoque could have been your neighbor's cool older brother who turned you on to all the great music you hadn't heard before.

I want to have the privilege of discussing it with him, too bad at the time I had no idea who I was speaking to LOL
he also said he is sick of singing it
I've read his favorite was either "In the Light" or "Gallows Pole" which are both far better examples of his talent as a singer.

" The real journey is this life and this light that we are in . Like this light has its life , even its journey has to end " ... enough said ^^
Felt that one too and the tremendous depth of wisdom behind it.
It's such a privilege to get to witness the original "WOW" effect from all of those pearls this world and its people gifted us and we take for granted too often.
I really love how you explain the lyrics. I've been listening to Led Zeppelin for 40 years, and you still find things that I missed.
I love all of their perspectives and beautiful insights to this, one of my favorite songs from when I was a child to the present. I had to look up what Ustad meant and I absolutely love that description. It's such a passionate song and it really does evoke a journey in the minds eye and I agree with what was said here. It does seem spiritual in nature. All of the key phrases seem to be ascending, others ebb and flow and that again just seems to make me think of traveling through some exotic place and it all sounds so dramatic. Great song, I'm glad they liked it.
I've watched other "reaction" videos from various sources that seem very contrived. This is very genuine and a pleasure to watch. Thank you!
It will be nice to now share with them the version in the Celebration day concert, when they are older, wiser, more mature in their skills, certainly Robert's voice
Completely agree!
Led Zeppelin Lyrics
"Kashmir"
Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
With stars to fill my dreams
I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
Sit with elders of the gentle race
This world has seldom seen
Talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Ooh, baby, I been flying
No yeah, mama, there ain't no denying
Oh, ooh, yeah I've been flying
Mama, mama, ain't no denying, no denying
Oh, all I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find, where I've been
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
Here is the path that led me to that place
Yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon
I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June
When moving through Kashmir
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
Across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
Along the straits of fear
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Ooh
Oh, when I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, but I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, ooh, my baby, let me take you there
Oh come on, oh, let me take you there... let me take you there
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, let me take you there... let me take you there
I love that Led Zeppelin is returning to inspire the very people who inspired Led Zeppelin. Sublime! A butterfly flaps its wings, and the ripples may echo a thousand years
Awesome! Love to our Trybal friends.
I'm so blown away by you guys and your insights!! Would love to hear their reaction to the Live version of The Song Remains The Same/Rain Song.
THANK YOU for bringing this song to the tribal peoples, I love their reactions!!!
I learned a new word, Ustad and I love it.
Now that they have heard two of their more heartfelt songs, I wonder how they may react to the darkness displayed by Led Zeppelin’s song, Dazed and Confused… the version from their first album has been scaring people for almost 60 years now.
Thank you again, god bless!!!
As much as I played their music in my youth I still come back to it with great joy.
Precious Gift. Thank you.
Thanks for listening
I'm here for some Muharam. Commenting before I even watch the whole thing because my boy is here
Yeah, he is always so kind! He and chacha Abdul give me back hope in humanity sometimes, examples to follow.
Listening to this song for forty years and all I get from it is the peace and tranquility from being in a place like Kashmir. Away from first world society to let your head clear and calm. As it should be.
It gives me chills watching these men experience something that has been a delight to me all my life. I can see them get their own chills from the music and that feeling of a thrill extends to me, letting me hear this wonderful music as if for the first time again. Thank you for making these videos and thank you to all the participants for their time, their insights and their wide open expressions!!!!! It is life-changing for us probably even more than it is for them!
i love these people so much
Incredible.. we share a heart!! xo
I like how these guys are getting into the existentials of this song.
As a young kid 6 years of age (1982 something), my english was bad and when I heard this song Kashmir I was thinking it was some kind of rice, like Jasmin, Basmati. Then when the music kicked in, I was just - WOW!! Now hearing these young gentlemen talk about it it makes me feel like a kid again - in a good way. Such an wonderful and bombastic song. Great video. PEACE and prosperity to you all.
Wonderful reaction. This is my favorite song by them.❤ Always a great day with some Led for our heads.😂
Love when you show all three men watching together.
Fantastic! Thank you so much for posting. Led Zeppelin is my favorite band and Kashmir is such a powerful song! Thank you to the gentleman that you showed it to, as well. It proves how truly transcendent music is.
One of the best songs of all time. Takes me back to a time and makes me feel that same way
Page, Plant, Jones and Jason Bonham need to see this!
This! Also for the Trybals to meet Zep
The song _Kashmir_ is based on the book _Lost Horizon_ by James Hilton (1933). The term "Shangri-La" included in the lyrics is your first clue.
wow never knew that ty makes me wonder what else you know.
@@JasonPruett I read the novel a little over 30 years ago. It was very, very good. The lyrics unmistakably reflect the story. Robert Plant must have enjoyed it as much as I did.
@@HazeOfWhearyWater have you ever read alice in wonderland decoded? its on the net in pdf form the author hid a classical education inside the story for his daughter i guess
@@JasonPruett I read _Alice in Wonderland_ but I never heard of _Alice in Wonderland Decoded._ Many years ago.
I'll check it out right now.
The 1937 film version of "Lost Horizon" is also quite well done (Frank Capra directed) and evokes the mystical qualities which Europeans associated with the regions of Kashmir, Bhutan and Nepal.
It would be fun to see a reaction to Robert Plant and Allison Krause's work. And older Plant and totally different style. Love every single video. 💜💛
Great timing. Im currently obsessed with Led Zeppelin
I love these reactions to western music, they have such awesome insight to the instruments & how they are played, to the lyrics & to the performance as a whole, thank you. ❤
How cool would it be for Robert Plant to see this video of tribal people speaking of his art....THAT would be beyond cool. Loved this video. Thank you
Great idea
@@stansirlmkhope2312 Thank you
charming gentlemen. i enjoyed their perspective of one of my favorite songs and bands.
When I was a kid, this was my favorite song I'd discovered. It's still right up there toward the top. It just has a groove and a feel to it like no other, but also feels like you've known it all your life, you just needed that band and those instruments to reveal what you already had playing in your heart.
They seem to really love guitar music, you should have them watch Steve Vai play with an orchestra his instrumental guitar song called For The Love of God. A truly magical piece of music and shows what an amazing musician he is, as he wrote all the parts, he went to school and learned to write for every instrument.
This song is so special to me. I was young when this song became very popular and I remember how much I loved the message and the music and the song seemed to take me on a trip, a journey to a different place and a better place. Thank you so much! I really enjoyed this song played live at Led Zeppelin's Celebration Day Tour with John Bonham's son Jason Bonham on drums. Some things are definitely better with age and maturity.
I just searched for this last week thinking it was done a couple of years ago. Apparently, someone must have done the same thing and said, "Oh, well, if we didn't do it yet, who isn't looking for it!?"
Thank you for sharing.
@22:50 for never having heard the song before, and not understanding the language Plant is singing in, he's very insightful!
The song did its job!
Great choice to show the guys. The passion for the music here is unparalleled. Good, in depth comments!
Awesome, I was hoping they would do this!
I love these old guys getting it on with the hard rock sounds of the 70’s and 80’s!!!
I love watching these wonderful men, so far away, enjoy what ive loved for so long.....they absolutely get it!!!! The power of music is one of Gods biggest gift. I love that they love Zeppelin ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love these gentlemen's reactions and interpretations of this great masterpiece by Led Zeppelin.
It's great to see that everybody around the world reacts to Kashmir the same way lol!
Even the elderly gentleman was digging it. Rock on earthlings, bloody fantastic lol.
I love how quiet and transfixed they get when Bonham starts doing his crazy fills. Bonzo blows everyone's minds,
Dude with the gray 'stache is feeling the groove - properly i might add.
I'd LOVE to hear them react to some of the tracks off Page/Plant: No Quarter Unledded
@stesrad so jealous! Lol I'd have been greedy too! 😁
Hoping for "Page & Plant Kashmir With Egyptian Orchestra Glastonbury 1995" soon, while this performance is still fresh in their minds.
This is amazing! I love their interpretations and their openness to something very different for them. Quite interesting,
I love these - -watching then I often wish I had time to paint portraits of them
I very much enjoyed watching this video. Many thanks to you.
Back in the 70s, we used to take a tape of this to stero stores to "test" rhe equipment 😅 turn it all the way up! Thanks ❤️ love y'all's reactions.
I still did this in the early 2000s.
Dude love your channel so hard, these guys are so legit! Been watching for years.
My good ness, it's always such a pleasure to watch you gentleman discovering this music I've enjoyed all my life, and especially to hear your wisdom in every comment. Truly you share the appreciation of this just as their most astute and spiritual fans.
Amazing! Would love to see some Beatles reaction in the future, maybe some rooftop.
Nice to see the greatness of Led Zeppelin appreciated!
Well done guys ... great to see you really got it. Proves music can transcend cultures and bring us all together. Those of us who love this track (and this band), can also appreciate the amazing music that comes from places like India and North Africa, South America and China and Japan. Would love to sit and listen to music with these people and talk about it ... over a beer or a cup of mint tea. Love it! (FYI - I am a 60+ brit who was at this concert back in '79; I play guitar and listen to all kinds of music barring none).
he is right, Kashmir can be a state of mind . . and maybe it is? "I'm a traveler of both time and space To be where I have been .... my shangrila beneath the summer moon, I will return again"
I remember listening to Kashmir alone in my room when i was about 9 & just being amazed by the beauty of it. It definitely has more meaning to me now, as do a lot of their songs. The story for me is now quite clear 😊
Fantastic reactions, I love these gentlemen and their thoughts on the music ❤❤
Brilliant video...what wonderful gentlemen...I subscribed. Excellent.
I'm so glad to see them really see Led Zeppelin as a major band. I learn so much by listening to these gentlemen talk about what they see and understand about the performers, how they interpret the actions and expressions of Robert Plant. This is a lesson about the world and my own culture.
These gentlemen show how to open yourself to the world - to new and different music and culture. I applaud them for the way the react with heart and soul to new and different music and culture. May we all follow their example.
Much respect to these gentlemen ❤❤❤ Led Zeppelin is in a musical category all its own. They’re music is art
I really enjoy these videos. These men are very intelligent and have great insight into things we take for granted because we are very familiar for us. It’s like they are seeing them through the eyes of a child seeing things for the first time but with the wisdom that only comes from the experience of a long life.
Morocco was a popular country to visit by musicians in the late 60's/early 70's. They went there to experience the music, culture, and its famous hashish.
I watch quite a few interviews with Robert. He said he wished their band could be remembered for this song, rather than "Stairway to Heaven."
Yep it's his favorite of all their songs.
Oh we do...... we do!! (I almost ran away from home at like 13 or 14 to go watch them in Seattle. My mom threatened to call the sheriff on the guy that was going to take me and my friend with him. It was a different time.)
I can't get past the hats these guys are wearing. I LOVE the design!
They really would like The Battle of Evermore (Page and Plant featuring Najma Akhtar) and Friends on the No Quarter DVD.
I love the profound thoughts these people have i live in the literal middle of the biggest city in my country and we seldom get the peace and calm to reflect like them.
Play the song,,, Nobody’s Fault But Mine. To these gentlemen, I love that song and Zeppelin
wow oh my God . these men really dive deep into the meanings! i love it. I hope you react To " in my time of Dying" Id love to hear what you think.
