Page's penchant for close-miking instruments and using ambient mics throughout the studio for 'distance makes depth' is well documented. The answer could be almost any electric Zeppelin tune. 8.

Dirigible Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 songfacts are just things posted by someone like you and me. Doesn't make it true. Very unreliable site Thanks, Nick, I didn't want to mention that and appear to have sour grapes. There is no orchestra credited on my vinyl edition of Physical Graffiti. The only book I see anything about it is from the equally unreliable "Stories Behind Every Song" series: Chris Welch's DAZED AND CONFUSED. Welch is typically a good scribe, if he needs technical detail he's not above bringing a real musician in for the job, i.e. Geoff Nicholls for THUNDER OF DRUMS. In the 'story behind Kashmir' he alludes to an orchestra being used in the studio to give Jones' parts some oomph. (Not that it makes any difference but when I saw LZ perform Kashmir in 1977 Jones' keyboards sounded huge, till then I never really cared for the song, afterwards it was, "Ohh, that's how it's supposed to sound.") But I've NEVER read any member of Zeppelin say anything about an orchestra; Howard Mylett or Dave Lewis either. Those two were LZ experts during the 70s before the band crashed and burned. I put more stock in what they have to say than Chris Welch, who had similar access. Welch's set-in-stone opinions taint his reporting and negate it. He goes out of his way to rip on D'yer Mak'er everytime he recycles another book about the band. That gives me pause about the veracity of the 'orchestra' in Kashmir.

It kind of sounds like there may be an orchestra in Kashmir just from listening to it. Possibly a small one. But it's definitely not done the way it's done live with the melotron/keyboards. But there's no real evidence that it was done with an orchestra also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonson Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 bullshit. truth, imo. heard the hard compressed Mothership version played back thru studio monitor speakers lately and it gets kinda obvious here. they have recorded horns & strings and maybe more stuff on it, but in the mixdown lowered these tracks a lot and JPJ synched all these parts with his keys (i dont know before or after) thus buried it almost to inaudible. but if u have a bit of feel for 70s mellotron/synth style sounds, you can tell that the attack phase of the instruments sound exactly like live instruments, not a synth or mellotron. also, it´s been quite common among producers in the golden age of recordings (analog tape multi track) to try out different instrumentations and then erase whats not to their liking. sometimes instuments also bleed thru to another recorded track just a tiny wee bit and add to the color without a listener really being able to differenciate this.

ms_zeppelin94 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 If anyone out there has Early Days & Latter Days (yes-i know it's not "official" or whatever...) put Latter Days in your CD/DVD ROM Drive and watch the video. I couldn't find the same vid on You Tube, but this one uses the same keyboard, I think ( if you can hear it past the guitar). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1yFQ6vcRNk \ But, in the more popular 1979 vid the keyboard sounds like a piano. Intresting... Where did the orchestra go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zdr Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I'm not sure it's the right thread to post this, but it's a game about LZ's song names: http://www.sporcle.com/games/ledzepsongs.php So, try your best shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
