Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
With stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space to be where I have been
To sit with elders of a gentle race this world has seldom seen
Who talk of days for which they sit and wait
When all will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Sounds caress my ear
Though not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear, whoa-oh-hoh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Oooh, oh, baby, I've been flyin' No, yeah
Mama cares, ain't no denyin'
Oh, oooh yes, I've been flyin'
My mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin', no
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
Tryin' to find, tryin' to find where I've been, ah-ah, ah-ah
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
Who hid the path that led me to that place
With yellow desert screen
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that blows high in June
When movin' 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
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-hoh, oh, ohh
Whoa, when I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way you stay, yeah-eah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down, oh
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, ooh, my baby, let me take you there
Oh, oh, come on, come on, oh, let me take you there
Let me take you there, woo, yeah-yeah, woo, yeah-yeah
Let me take you there, let me take you there
With stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space to be where I have been
To sit with elders of a gentle race this world has seldom seen
Who talk of days for which they sit and wait
When all will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace

An interesting perspective. I was 15 in 1975 and I like(d) Led Zepplin, the Pistols, the Runaways, and Patti Smith. Call me an omnivore, but I would never give this a 3. YMMV
Ok, fair. I've got 7 years on you. LZ peaked for me with 'Whole Lot of Love' and that was it. You're the same age as my kid sister. Sometime in the mid-70's I'm driving her to the airport. She gets in my 69 slant-6 Plymouth Valiant with her spiked red hair and black pants and throws 'Blitzkrieg Bop' into the cassette deck. They start chugging along and I look at her with eyes wide and say "What is this?!". She just smiles, stares straight ahead at the traffic while slightly bopping her head and says "The future."
Thank god she was right.

I think some of us might just be remembering how utterly boring this music was in 1975, not necessarily hating it. This was the beginning of the end of the stadium/glam/cock rock era and some of us couldn't wait for it to die. A lot of the ire was actually focused on the "progressive" FM radio stations who continued to churn this stuff out. But 1975 was also the year of the Sex Pistols and The Runaways. And Patti Smith releases Horses. And things start to change. For the better. So, yeah a 3. Meaning, Meh. Who cares. Time to move on.

Interesting to see the votes. So 86 people rated this "1". I get that, it's not for everyone.
But 49 rated it "2", and 83 rated it "3". I wonder what the thought process was. "Mindless rock drivel but Robert Plant's vocals elevated the piece", maybe, or something like that.

On I-85 southbound about 30 minutes from Atlanta with four friends ... and we'd just ingested the chemicals for that night's party. Radio was tuned to WRAS, and this came on. Everyone went silent and the driver (Becky) turned it up loud.
This is one of those songs that I know exactly where I was and what I was doing when I first heard it. It was mindblowing then and still is now.

Many years ago I was out on a pier in San Diego early on a sunny Monday morning wben an assault ship passed by on its way to sea to begin a deployment. While homecomings can be raucous, ships leaving to deploy often do so with little fanfare. But wafting from this 40,000-ton warship as it glided by was the unmistakably threatening sound of Kashmir booming from the 1MC announcement system as the crew manned the rails. Never has a song seemed more appropriate

Thank you for sharing. Very recognizable. LZ was also played far too loud in my teenage bedroom.
Like you, I also have the tinnitus. It was there after a My Morning Jacket concert in 2011 and never went away. Tinnitus never does, unfortunately.
And yes, I also keep playing music loud.
Music is the reason I got tinnitus, now music is also the medicine against it.
I can live with tinnitus, but I can't live without music!
word!
Me is was JBL and Marantz that put the ring in the ears whilst in the USAF.
A person once told me that his "bad hearing is my reward for years of loud music."
I'm in the tinnitus boat and still like it loud, where required. You just need the volume just above the ring threshold and you'll be good.
I was 17. I was a local DJ while at studying at college ... I remember buying this album and playing it on rotation for a few months on my Road PA System stacked in my bedroom, It was loud. Loud enough to require me to put a 10p piece on the record arm to stop it bouncing because of the volume of the speakers in the small room.
I now have tinnitus.
I still listen to loud music.
I will never learn.

Marantz Model 22 Stereo Receiver. I got mine in 1970 and still use it. It's fun to read the manual and look at the schematic diagrams; this was quite a piece of electronics in the day! (Your Koss headphones plug in at the lower right.)
Haha. Had one too. And a Rabco straight line turntable.

I dread to think how it affected my parents but they were good enough not to complain too much.

I still think this track is fantastic.
Oh no! I've got to go to class in 3 minutes!
An old friend of mine had found a lost Walkman with headphones on the bicycle path in the 80s. He stopped, put it on, switched on the player and rode on in the dark. He told me about this track, which he hadn't known until then, and that he cycled home as if in a frenzy. Well, I would have liked to be a fly on the wall... BTW 10 points.
Remembered buying this album when it came out and we were ALL blown away. Kashmir never ceases to keep doing the same, after all these years.
Excellent! Iconic!

That was "When the Levee Breaks"! Google it!
The documentary "It will Get Loud" talks about the drums in this song... which remain one of the most recognizable songs ever - at least by LZ. Jimmy Page talks about how the kit was just set up in a foyer of an old english estate and how the cavernous sound was just a result of mic placement and wires running to a portable studio truck. Really neat that it was that simple. Many tried to recreate this sound with FX in the studio without getting that echo/delay.

Bill must really like this song. There are four versions of it in the RP library. Over on the Eclectic channel, we get the London Philharmonic version every now and then.

mettete al massimo il volume e fantasticate semplicemente favolosa ogni volta che l'ascolto!
When you know the next 8'20" are going to be great!

This may be my favorite Led Zeppelin song. But I have a lot of favorite Led Zeppelin songs.
Only on RP, from Kecharitomene (Loreena McKennitt) to Kashmir. Spectacular!
One of my rare 10's because it is deserving.

My favorite Kashmir memory happened seeing Spinal Tap in San Francisco at the Warfield. Really! Anyway, we were very near the front, standing, when one of our gang noticed Les Claypool standing a couple people away from us. I don't remember if he made contact with Les or not, but minutes later we noticed he was on the stage, playing electric standup bass on Kashmir! That was wild -- so much fun.

Turn it up to 11, and watch the drummer spontaneously combust!
I'm meant to be working, but the sequence of Fleetwood Mac, Loreena McKennitt and Led Zeppelin is conspiring against me.
Damn this is good radio.

Two 10 rated tracks in a day; awesome B&R
LL RP
LL RP
Didn't realize it at the time , but saw the first American show of the Physical Graffiti tour in Minnesota in 1975. Head full of acid, an outstanding date, and one of the best experiences of my life. Could never understand people who bitched about their performances, but then they were fresh and at the top of their game. But, to be honest, they could have been shite and I would have still had a great time. Somewhat indelibly etched in my brain. Wish you all could have been there...

This is the song and album that threw me into "awe" of LZ in my very early teens.
I was 15 when this came out and it quickly became the song I could listen to on endless repeat. This continues to be my favourite song o0f all time, and yet I wouldn't say that Zepplin is my fave band of all time. Life's funny that way.
Masterpiece.

BRILLIANT SEQUE from Loreena McKennitt to Led Zep.
Bud Ump Tac, Bud Ump Tac.....
Brilliant segue: Kecharitomene → Kashmir.

Gets no better than this...
One of the most powerful songs I know... since 30years. It doesn´t lose its fascination. Every time a big journey, the lyrics are like a prayer - a masterpiece of musical history. Gimme more!!!
Still most awesomeness ever! I now know just how loud my Audio Engine speakers can go.... pretty fucking loud!! Self powered hooked to desk top tower sounds like the good ole days, boy do I miss the '70s!!! Thanks again.
Listening to Kashmir through headphones (at work) brings it to another level! TGIF!

Waves of memories of Mickey Mouse blotter wash over me. Thanks Bill & Rebecca!
I thought I was closer to God when I heard this for the first time (when I was like 12) and promptly re-listened to it numerous times.....brilliant!

It doesn't make sense. Yesterday was played the fourth season of vivaldi and the votes cast was a 8.9. Who can vote vivaldi less than 10. With led zeppelin that's exactly the same

How could anybody give this a less than "10" rating?

Always was my favorite LZ song. Spent many a high time listening, drifting away into the fantasy land of the Middle East and floating on the magic carpet or dancing and twirling on and on and on and on and on....

I never tire of hearing this!
I was at the second Knebworth w/e, not a big fan, the ticket was a gift: Unbelievably awesome, J Page with his violin bow, aircraft landing lights (rumoured), tens of thousands of fans, loud as can be, played for hours. Took all night to exit the carpark. I take my hat off to them.
Perfection!
I think this is one of those with drums recorded in an atrium with three-story ceiling...

Gotta love Bonzo's driving beat.. â¥â¥

Zepplin never was my thing back in the day, but I have to give genius its due credit. 10 from me.
I've always found the mic-ing for the drums very interesting on this song. Sounds like they put one good mic over the drums and one near the kick, but not in it which is so common today.
on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on, woooooooooooooooo
A favorite drumroll... have to turn it up just to hear Bonzo's execution again.
Or, as Mr. Baker calls it, "the heavy bish-bash, jing-bap, jing-bash bullshit."

Sounds like drums are 4 beats and guitar is 3/4 - for the beginning part anyway

If I had my own country, this would be my National Anthem (with the name of my country substituted for Kashmir... naturally).
So, so many memories.
My fave track? Trampled Underfoot. Reminds me of gettin me dance on down the Student's Union bar in Manchester. (even though I was under age for the booze!)
