Whatever else is in this here piece, Holst's The Planets shares the space. Mars and Jupiter are duking it out.

I bought this album when Tower Records was going out of biz, and it's actually quite captivating.
Great for driving as it kept me focused on making the comparison to the song I knew, yet aware of the interpretation.

Dazed and Confused. In disarray.

Why?

Nothing wrong with this for me! Having recorded rock bands and THIS orchestra, I always like the cyclic thing if done well, which IMHO this is. Rock and other popular music 'borrows' tunes from the classical, reinterprets in ear-catching ways, and we love it...
But good tunes and stand on there own,  Zepp, Beatles, Zappa, etc,etc, have stood the test of time for that reason.
So I like it when an orchestra takes a popular tune and arranges it in a classical way applying a good interpretation done well, which I think this is...

LOVE Zep and like classical, and I'm sure I would enjoy this slow/trippy classical interpretation of Kashmir immensely "live" in a good venue...even more so with some Colorado Cookies & milk. Let it soak in.

True...it reminds of something that the Boston Pops would do. Don't think folk rock transfers all that well to classical though.

I walked into the middle of this and thought it was Holst. Took me a minute to hear it as Zep.

I'd like to be all cool and not like it but I can't, it works.

Its not abundantly obvious to me why this dark imposing tune should conjure an image of friends

This reminds me why I listen to rock and not classical. Dozens of superb musicians that somehow make a good song sound tacky. {#Bananajam}

 
Happily it's not an "either/or" for me. I enjoy both.

I'm so in with this!
Just goes to show how dramatic Zep was!

Feels like I'm at Cirque du Soleil.  Which isn't a bad thing at all.

Apparently people have different opinions from me. When I'm dictator, I will round up all of these incorrect people and shoot them.

This played for the first time ever on RP, following the Doobie Brothers I Cheat The Hangman.  Bill's on fire today! :)
