Kashmir, a classic of Led Zeppelin. Written by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, the song that Robert Plant mentioned like ''I wish we were remembered for Kashmir more than Stairway To Heaven'' in an interview.

Originally titled Driving To Kashmir, the song had begun as a lyric Plant had been inspired to write in the autumn of 1973 after a long, seemingly never-ending drive through “the waste lands”, as he put it, of southern Morocco. It's meaning had nothing to do with Kashmir, in northern India, at all.

As Plant explained Kashmir's meaning to Cameron Crowe, it was about the road journey itself rather than a specific geographical location: “It was a single-track road which neatly cut through the desert. Two miles to the east and west were ridges of sand rock. It looked like you were driving down a channel, this dilapidated road, and there was seemingly no end to it.” Hence, Plant said, the opening lyric: ‘Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dreams.’

Musically, the juddering rhythm had erupted out of a late-night session involving Page and drummer John Bonham during one of the band’s regular stays at Headley Grange, the haunted mansion in East Hampshire where they recorded so many tracks in the early 70s.

“It was just Bonzo and myself,” Page said. “He started the drums, and I did the riff and the overdubs, which in fact get duplicated by an orchestra at the end, which brought it even more to life. It seemed so sort of ominous and had a particular quality to it. It’s nice to go for an actual mood and know that you’ve pulled it off.”

This song is already something that has so much power in itself but with an orchestra, with the notes of all that instruments, it became something extraordinary.

''His friend died. He wrote this song. Didn't think he could sing it because of all the emotion. He did get through it and I've never heard him sound better. Truly amazing how to express hurt and pain through music.''

''There isn't a stereo in existence that can play this loud enough.''

In honor of the 23rd anniversary of George Harrison's death, I share with you this beautiful performance of "the fifth Beatle" Billy Preston performing "My Sweet Lord" at the George Harrison Memorial Concert in 2002.

The performance features legends such as Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton & more. Also in attendance was George's son, Dhani Harrison.

"When you play your own song in the Royal Albert Hall while Phil Collins rocks the drums, Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler jam on the guitars and Sir George Martin conducts an orchestra and a choir.. you are the one and only Sir Paul."

This is simply the best description that I read about the live video down there.

The date was 15th of September, 1997. The venue was a legendary one, Royal Albert Hall.
The name of the show was Music for Montserrat.

It was an epic night for rock and roll because Knopfler, Collins, Clapton, McCartney and many others performed different songs from their discographies.

Imagine a stage that you're seeing the best of rock music for the last 100 years. Simply pure brilliant, incredible, and beyond perfection.
