Led Zeppelin - Kashmir (live 1980 -320Kbps- RARE)

[MitjaShi]

I love jpj's performance with the yamaha gx...

[CecilRhodesIlluminat]

just how did they get that name "Led Zeppelin".?

[Smarty4789]

@CecilRhodesIlluminat Just google Led Zeppelin Keith Moon, you'll find it.

Short version: Plant, Page and the members of The Who were out partying (this was before Led Zeppelin was created obviously) and when Page told Moon that he intended to make a massively successful band and tour the US he told him that that idea would go down like a lead zeppelin. Page liked it so much that he decided to use it as his band's name. There are details missing, but that's the gist of it.

[Alhambrattp]

excellent

[caesarcerf]

wow they were on fire during their last tour and plant's voice the best it had been since 1972.

[rubiconsedge]

Best band ever playing their best song ever, and that's saying a hell of a lot

[mrsgstd]

@rubiconsedge It's only saying what a bunch of others have a said about a bunch of other bands and songs all over Youtube. Pull up any song by any artist someone will have made the same comment... "best band, best song...." It means nothing

[Gettheledoutstyle]

@mrsgstd nah it does you misinterpreted his statement..most bands dont have a catalogue like led zeppelin does so to say one is the best when there is so many classic songs is a huge milestone and kashmir was zeppelins finest moment imop

[xEMeehanx]

how can a youtube video be rare

[ArmyRangerish]

jimmy page mutta fuddas!

[charger4079]

Got Zep?

[roggerdeblume]

this is the tour where John Paul Jones started to use the Fairlight CMI synth, i think it sounds better than the Yamaha from the knebwoth concert.

[mrbyg97]

people arent travelers of time and space

[jjobie]

@mrbyg97 Techincally, we are. We are continually moving forward in time, and we do in fact move around in space, not only on the earth but WITH the earth, since the earth itself is constantly moving through space.

[FP5900]

You know who kicks your ass? Led Zeppelin.

[annikee59]

@FP5900 Proudly have had my ass kicked by Zep since 1973.

[LesPaulZoso94]

IS THERE ANY VERSION OF MANNHEIM 1980 NOT CUT?

[ipicac]

Plant sounds better than in '77 Seattle where he sounded burned out...amazing after all he went through from then till 1980....and then, what the band had to face....

[NeutralSnap]

personally im happy they didnt make it to the 80s because then they woulda been making all thay synthy sounding hair metal shit and i personally think that would have ruined them

[mloaks]

@NeutralSnap concur

[voihuih]

@NeutralSnap totally agree with u, first of all lennon went away in 80 ...so after that i dont think there was much hope ...was in class 2 or 3 in 80...but got introduced to zep only by 7th grade ....at first the music was literally creepy and scary ..(my seniors who were in 9 and 10 grade would play the scary vilolin-guitar part from the film song remains the same at nite in the dorm)....but after that there was was no turning back....EVER..

[TheSHEERHEARTATTACK]

@NeutralSnap nah, they'd keep the synths low, kicked hair metal in the balls and said to not to try look like revamped glam drag queens

[jimihendrixtribute]

@NeutralSnap no they wouldnt.. They wouldve made the same old zeppelin stuff...

[NeutralSnap]

@jimihendrixtribute no it would have gone bad. everyone did it. i mean look at zz top's stuff during then. and jack bruce. it all went synthy.

[blackdog3030]

damn this song kicks ass live!!!

[Arosinma2008]

been there - seen that !!!!

[Bassguy0103]

@Arosinma2008 lucky you, i wasn't born yet

[IZZYMX5]

Outstanding dark sound!

[blackdog3030]

I love this song but man those keyboards have to go...well it was the 80s...Zeppelin you still kick ass over anything out to day!

[SuperLillalo]

zeps the best period

[JustinPierce1226]

This was leading Led Zeppelin to a new direction, but if you notice, you could barely hear Jimmy playing. He was sooo smacked out and it is like they faded him out a little. Most of the gang agree that if Bonzo didn't die, Jimmy Page would have eventually from his addiction.Bonzo's death ultimately saved Page.

[VanHalenLedZeppelin7]

@JustinPierce1226 In the 1979 video with the White Summer intro you can barely hear him too. The performance on the DVD you can hear him fine though.

[JustinPierce1226]

@VanHalenLedZeppelin7 Ahh cool! Yeah it was bugging me because I own the DVD, but could not figure out why he sounded dull. But when I listen to knebworth on the DVD, you can definitely hear Page. Maybe, it just is not mixed yet? Either way, I love hearing the recordings that we do not get to always hear.

[VanHalenLedZeppelin7]

@JustinPierce1226 Playing my guitar and drums to live music is so much better for songs such as Kashmir, Stairy, Achilles, Trampled Underfoot etc

[JustinPierce1226]

@VanHalenLedZeppelin7 I sing, and thats what I do. I learn how to sing Zeppelin songs live. THat is also how I am learning to play drums. I love Led Zeppelin live.

[VanHalenLedZeppelin7]

Nice 8-bit sounding keyboard during the big bit

[dlaird8]

If bonzo would not have died they would have made more superb music. It is a shame really that they were cut short. But all good things are cut short aren't they. The music today has no heart whatsoever. It makes me want to vomit. Hip hop and pop has ruined everything. They just put out crappy songs to make money which is proof the human race is at its worst as far as greed and selfishness.

[dlaird8]

This was plant's favorite song out of the bands songs. You could always tell because he always sang it suberbly. The greatest band ever by a long shot. Nothing will ever compare to these four musical geniuses.

[dorseyinva]

I saw this show, also the one in Knebworth England the year before. One of my favorite bands and certainly favorite guitar player.

[Evilbible]

fucking heavy

[TonyDollard]

This sounds superb. Love the phasing of the drums and guitar.

[girjjk56]

fantastic keyboard!!

[SeanFire202]

Best version

[brandontylerkaiser]

i love how everything was fast rock and roll black dog all of it and this is slowed down! hAa

[3agleh]

u could always sense the love between plant and bonzo....,disbanding immediatly when their drummer dies...those were the real deal.a real fuckin band

[exasia]

i have been there !!!

[burkspatrick]

is it me or did they change a line or two on the lyrics or just rearrange it.

[Sold07]

@burkspatrick Just rearranged it, for all of their live performances of "Kashmir" actually.

[fabiancarini1]

i hate the middle eastern solo here. on mothership it's much much better. why couldn't they do it live?

[ZMan2324]

perhaps you just dont understand it yet.

[redsoxlover19]

lmao "No Sex Just Alot Of Laughs" Thats Great Robert Plant Always Makes Me Laugh

[xxxChrist]

Great intro

[mfbfreak]

Hmm. Those strings are not mellotrons...

[zed0469]

Nope, I believe Jonesy is playing ELP's keyboard rig, from what I have heard.

[thelegend123able]

keyboards r great

[DKVillain]

Fail to you!

[jophus82]

I typed that question out before it got to the obvious part. Sorry.

[jophus82]

Did they have a real orchestra at the show? It sounds like synthesizer.

[sfischermilford]

john paul jones. keyboards. win.

[FabioFresh]

it would of been cool if Led Zeppelin performed with a real orchestra but we never got 2 see that. RIP Bonzo

[stevenhyde1960]

if u think about with there change in styles thru out all there songs they were like a 4 man orchestra

[zoso7889]

Page and Plant Tour in 95 had an orchestra. Thats as near as you can get to it

[bygmyketv]

lmao!!!!!

[stereoevil]

77 was the last US tour

Tour over Europe in 80 is what this is from

Most of the boots from this tour sound similar

[bobwatters]

sounds like zep didnt discover technology untill 1980 sounds good but the original is still better

[megagangster13]

You say 50Cent-I Say Led Zeppelin

You say Miley Cyrus-I say Dire Straits

You say T-Pain-I say Deep Purple

You say Flowers-I say Van Halen

You say Pink-I say Pink Floyd

You say Hip Hop-i say Jimi Hendrix

You say R&B-I scream Classic Rock

You say hanah montana-i hit you in the face

70% of teenagers have turned to Hip Hop and Rap.If you are part of the 30% that still listen to real music,copy and paste this message to another 5 videos.

DON'T LET THE SPIRIT OF CLASSIC ROCK DIE!!!

[rc37]

Top form here. i read that in 1980 Jimmy got much better with his Drugs abuse. and whats quitting. Shame Bonzo died soon after.. :(

Rock on Man !

[bobwatters]

yeah but i thought that 77 was there last us tour

[rc37]

this is from Europe Tour 1980

[bobwatters]

o crap i thought te pics said manhatten not mannheim

[markre60]

I think the effects Zeppelin relied upon most of all was their talent. I did enjoy this version of Kashmir. A little different than were used to, but rockin just the same.

[ewoline]

OMG, EPIC!!

[LufsyLurqy]

Can i get this on some cd?

[sfischermilford]

prolly not

[Cliner97]

The trouble even with the soundboards can end up being how everything was wired in, source wise and what was in between. Doesn't always survive the tape so to speak and also doesn't always duplicate what the sound was like to the audience or even the band themselves during a concert.

[CreativeCritisizm]

I would have loved to hear the Carpenters or the Captain & Tinelle do this one !

[zoso8t0]

We all know Karen Carpenter (RIP) was such a better drummer than Bonzo! A music poll said so!

(A poll REALLY existed where Carpenter beat Bonzo out - hence my cheeky attitude towards it)

[PAULOcbi]

who`s karen carpenter ,??heart??

[abrahamlincoln0900]

Karen Carpenter was the vocalist and drummer for The Carpenters ,curiously ,she died at 32 yrs of age also.

[Zeppelin350]

n00b

[rc37]

woah !!!!!!!

[szorin13]

the synthesizer sucks but i think robert plant's vioce is good here

[1xXLedZeppelinXx1]

Crazy,Sounds like They stocked up on effects for this,

Bonzos heavier phaser,Plants harmonizer and delay effects,JPJ's GX-1 and Jimmys horribly bad tone all sound soo good.

=0

[abrahamlincoln0900]

sounds like Jones ditched the old Hammond for a synth.

[PaulRoberts]

Yeah he did, from 1977 to 1980 he used a Yamaha GX-1 which he later sold to Keith Emerson sometime in the early 80's. Sounds shit here doesn't it, yet I've heard live versions where it sounds much better.

[dauph]

Check out the unLedded version of Kashmir which Page and Plant produced on the album: No Quarter. Its a different arrangement and quite good in my estimation. I also found compelling Kashmir performances with Lucia Micarelli/Ian Anderson and another version by a kids rock band called "Crunchy Frog". All performances mentioned are on YouTube and worth checking out. LedZep lives on!

[shadowofmorgoth]

80s kashmir. nice.

[crackthecracker]

God, I think the 80 leg was incredible. Almost like a renewal of the band. It would be great to see what they were going to record based on the new sound they had later in their career. Love it!

[whipit4me]

yeah i totally agree with you. zepp was heading in a new direction with In through the out door release. i could have only imagined what carouselambra would have sounded like "live". i think Roberts vocals were at his peak.Bonhams new metallic kit.Jonesy coming through as always and even though Jimmy was smacked out on heroin he was still one of the best guitarist around. i feel cheated not having them around for the 80's

[EddieInvisibleMan]

Yeah, I wish they'd done carouselambra as well, it's one of my favourites..

[whipit4me]

i have the final show audio from Berlin July 7th 1980. I'll try to post, "all my love" is done very well!

[boldvar]

why didn´t they do Achilles In Berlin 1980?

[honeymoonstytch]

in 79 or 80 page said him and bonzo were dicussing how the next record was going to be heavier, he said they wanted to get away from the keyboards and rock

[CreativeCritisizm]

like AC/DC ?,,,lol

[Scaremonger456]

I think an 80s Zeppelin would've been a mixture of Whitesnake and Yes.

[maxver7]

i think they would go sort of heavy metal , as Page wanted their next album heavier

[finboy93]

But JPJ would be bigger maker in band, you can hear on ITTOD album, that JPJ's voice grew and grew. I think that Zeppelin would be something between Rush, Dream Theater, Yes and Black Sabbath.

[maxver7]

Led Zeppelin isn't in between anything, their on top of everything ;)

[finboy93]

Yeah i understand, but you know, as music style Led Zeppelin would have been something like progressive heavy rock, litle bit more metal than first two albums, but progressiver.dont know, poor Bonham :(

[tperr63]

great comment .

[JustinPierce1226]

@maxver7 Agreed.

[rhcp1lovethemgreat]

Maybe both :)

[CreativeCritisizm]

I heard Plants first & second solo albums would be a likely sound as to how Zep in the 80s would have sounded, I hear Page was working on "Burning Down One Side" before Zep disbanded.

[Cliner97]

Loved Plant's first few albums, but wasn't always thrilled with how they were mixed. Could sound a little muddy. I think Zep would have stuck by their tried and true method of clarity on all instruments all the way around, starting with Zep 1 which is as crisp and defined as you could ever ask for especially considering when it was recorded. Masterful job with few gadgets,unlike today with all the damn quantizing, and drum triggers and digital this and that and all the other associated horseshit

[PupuTheClown]

I think they sounded pretty good in terms of recording quality, many Zep albums were drenched a little in bass and other properties but basically were good enough by industry standard, Pink Floyd on the other hand, recorded during the same times, were grade-A-recordings in terms of detail, engineering, back to Robert, listen to the "Shaken & Stirred" still very clear in todays terms but it sure had some weird songs on there,,lol, I liked his old band better.

[Cliner97]

Dark Side? Yeah, may well be 'better' engineered, but for my $ and to my ears that album doesn't sound as good as Zep 1. But then again, I'm biased. And besides, I prefer Floyd's stuff done while Barrett was still in the group.

[EddieInvisibleMan]

The cut in the end was there from the start, so there was nothing I could do about it.. But I think this is a killer version anyway!

[bluestate69]

@EddieInvisibleMan great version of kashmir! i actually like the keyboard sound of the live versions. something very atmospheric, somber and melancholy about it. when i saw page/plant in 96', they replaced the middle part of "in the evening" with the middle part of "carouselambra" ,(when it breaks down into the "i couldn't stand it, another day" part). it was amazing. thanks for loading this kashmir version!

[DankOne2008]

Totally awesome version, quality was top notch outside of the missing part. I think I've heard it before.  Thanks for sharing.

[mimirogersdicks]

" Lotta Laughs. No sex, just alotta laughs. " lmfao. they were at the top of their game. Its a damn shame.

[FlavorRed]

I just wish part of it wasn't cut out.

[FlavorRed]

The keyboard synth sound in this sounds "New Wave" or something. It sounds really cool. I love this version.

[greatkamikaze]

its a great version, even better than O2!

[meatheadz88]

this sounds sooooooo mad
