By the way, has anyone here heard two Kashmir wannabees, Jon Anderson's Top of the World (The Glass Bead Game) and Hall and Oates' Winged Bull? Pretty precious stuff. Thanks Jon, Daryl, and John!

The Belgian neo-prog band Now did a cover of Kashmir on their album Deep in 1992. I wasn't particularly impressed with it.
Anyway, voted for the original.

I have the DVD, so I guess it's the same one. I guess I would actually have to look out the story of this concert(s) once again, since it seems to be recorded in many different places... and some I'm not really sure if it's live or merely a video and them actually playing elsewhere. I mean, like you said, just in the wild, and some other songs in the middle of such small indian towns or whatever. Though I believe the DVD is the culmination of some sort of tour, actually. Still, great stuff, I think I actually like this album/DVD more than any of Zep's original studio albums (except perhaps IV). Edited by Dellinger - February 12 2015 at 21:51 |

In 2003 I covered it myself, along with "Echoes" by Pink Floyd, and other songs that might be hard to imagine done any other way.
I vote for my own version ![]() |

It's a great cover. I prefer the original but still really dig the Puffy version.

There's going to be a new version released soon (this month I think), on the bonus disc with the new Physical Graffiti remaster. It's from the original recording sessions and apparently it features more of the orchestra's performance.

So there's actually an orchestra on the original version of this song? I could not be sure if it was so or if the sound was made with keyboards, since they don't credit any orchestra as far as I remember on the album, and on the live version I've seen it is played with the keyboads, sounding similar enough. I guess it will be nice to give this new version a listen too. |

It's a mix of real strings, real horns and also John Paul Jones playing the Mellotron. |

Well, that's good to know. However, I do wish they had credited it in their album. It's always interesting to know such things. Just as I wish I knew who plays the flute/recorder or whatever at the beginning of Stairway to heaven. |

They are recorders and they were all played by John Paul Jones. He overdubbed several layers of them. Talented guy who is often unfairly overlooked when people talk about Led Zep.

Okay, voted for the original version but if one can ignore the "rapping" by Puffy his collaboration with Page on that one resulted in a massive killer groove that was very Godzilla-like . Just sayin'...

The studio version of the song is THE best imo.

Although I think only available on bootlegs Jethro Tull covered Kashmir, a slightly shorter version featuring their guest violinist.
I decided to vote for the Unledded version for the vast instrumental variety. Absolutely stunning in concert, probably the most superb orchestral moment in modern rock. But the original just has that immediacy and power from the start - the Bonzo drumming just makes it. The concert versions could be very good as well and occasionally feature a timing mistake throwing the band out of control. Not too easy in places. I do have the Puff Daddy veriosn (it does feature JP). But the whole thing was recorded track by track and frankly if I heard the vocalist sing so far off the accents it would drive me mad (if I were in that band). Or any other. This is why I think Combs' version raises so much ire. |

Well, at least I believe it was a wasted oportunity when Zep toured with Jethro Tull... it would have been great if Ian had come out with Zep when they played this song. However, I believe Zep were not too fond of Jethro Tull anyway. |

I still can't make up my mind if I like better the "immediacy and power from the start" (and all along the song) of the original, or the build-up, variaty, and more melodic nature of the Unledded version (I believe the second one is a more progressive version of the song, actually). |

The original, but the Ian Anderson version featuring Lucia Micarelli (incredibly hot and talented!) is excellent, and very proggy:
