There was a great understanding between us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe played \u2018Kashmir\u2019 over and over, just the two of us, because it was just this great hypnotic beast, with him appearing to reverse the beat,\u201d Page continued. \u201cI knew it was going to be like a round, with all these wonderful cascades on top. I couldn\u2019t wait to play him the material as I knew he would really enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the book, which devotes an entire chapter to the making of Physical Graffiti, Page said: \u201cQuite early on I got nervous about listening to other things, because I didn\u2019t want to appear to be influenced by anyone else. Of course, I heard what other people were up to, but I never let it influence me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Follow Led Zeppelin News on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LedZepNews\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ledzepnews\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> to stay up to date on news as it happens.
