Watch Robert Plant and Jimmy Page Transport Listeners “To Another Galaxy” With Mesmerizing “Kashmir” Performance

For a time there, Led Zeppelin made magic. The British quartet of John Bonham, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Robert Plant became “the biggest band in the world” during the ’70s. Sadly, that period of enchantment came to an abrupt end in 1980, when drummer John Bonham from alcohol-induced aspiration. Knowing they could never match their peak without Bonham, the band opted to dissolve. But for a brief moment in 1994, Plant and Page reunited for one more bewitching performance of Zeppelin’s 1975 hit “Kashmir.

“Stairway to Heaven” is regarded by many as the signature song of Led Zeppelin. Among them is not Robert Plant. The 75-year-old leader said to Louder last year, “I wish we were remembered for ‘Kashmir’ more than ‘Stairway To Heaven.'”

That’s fair. A flurry of clashing rhythmic meters coupled with mystical imagery (Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face / And stars fill my dream), the track is everything that made Led Zeppelin… well, Led Zeppelin.
