It's no wonder that Led Zeppelin's visit to India in 1972 and trek across the northern Sahara desert, Morocco, in 1973, would expose the band members to Old World instrumentation, tuning, musical style, and culture. Ironically, it was on route from Goulimine to the National Festival of Folklore in Morocco that this track was developed, not in India on route to Kashmir. What Page considered a "waste land" before his eyes was his inspiration for "Driving to Kashmir", later to be shortened to "Kashmir".
Kashmir, itself, is a lush and fertile land in north India, along the Himalayan Mountain Range, so it's easy to get the analogy that while in the middle of the Saharan on route to a prettier place that Plant would conceive of a travel through the most inhospitable of conditions imaginable with the end goal of arriving somewhere worth seeing and experiencing first-hand.
The spectacular thing about this peace is its symphonic approach to the riff and the marked influence of various Moroccan and Indian music styling. From one of the catchiest riffs in rock history, to Plant's slightly cryptic lyrics and powerful vocals, to the African beats and Afro-Asian melody and progressions, the piece is often perceived a "classic" of rock repertoire, and considered one of Led Zeppelin's greatest musical contributions, by critics, fans, and the band members alike.
The imagery that the piece invokes envelopes the listener in a soundscape, essentially, transporting him or her on the journey, as if he or she is partaking in the experience. Isn't that what music should do?

By the gods, if I have to listen to any more of Plant's wailing the way he does in this song, I don't know just how much I'll crack. Instrumentally this is interesting, even if the arrangement seems a bit sloppy. But sadly it's ruined by Plant, so nevermind, really.

JManRobert Plant's fave in the Zeppelin vault. Who can blame him? The arabic style, lyrics, violin, and vocals are truly more amazing than the great pyramids.

Jasonconfused 12/07/2012 15:37Probably Zeppelin's best epic. It literally feels like you're taking a journey when you listen to this song. Unfortunately, this song is on the radio 24/7, but despite that, it's an incredible song. Plant's vocals are completely mesmerizing.
