Kashmir

0 upcoming performances in New York

Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir,” first released in 1975 on *Physical Graffiti*, is built on a slow, insistent riff and layered orchestral textures that suggest distance and scale more than a literal place. Written over several years by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, with rhythmic ideas shaped by John Bonham, it stands as a case study in how hard rock absorbed global motifs without becoming travelogue. In the New York area, it lives on through arena memories and classic-rock radio, and now through Get the Led Out at NJPAC. Its lasting claim is structural: repetition used as architecture rather than hook.
