Led Zeppelin performing “Kashmir” to a sea of over 100,000 at Knebworth Festival in 1979.
Recorded in 1974 at Headley Grange, this epic masterpiece found its home on the iconic double album, ‘Physical Graffiti.’
This song was a defining milestone for the band, all four members have agreed that it was one of their greatest musical achievements. Jimmy was asked by The Edge how this riff came to be during the film “It Might Get Loud”, and he explained that it was born out of him experimenting with the DADGAD tuning, which is similar to a sitar tuning.
Furthermore, he explains he had this song, “Swan Song”, which he had been working on that had a lot of intricate guitar sections on it. The ending riff to that song was the descending section we hear on “Kashmir” and Jimmy flipped it over on itself to create the riff we know today - truly a hypnotic riff that intoxicates you every time you listen.
Zeppelin creates a soul-stirring sonic landscape with this song that is almost certain to send chills down your spine.
In this clip, Jimmy gives a haunting stare that is equally as ominous and spine-chilling, almost seeming as if he was possessed.
Enjoy!
