Review. Contrasting musical impressions with what you read in the encyclopaedias. Setting the stage. Morrison, Hendrix and Joplin (all Americans) – exeunt. Think of the list of „commodities” from last session. There is one rather special item on that list: music. Interpretation?

Led Zep Slide 2 • Kashmir, fromPhysicalGraffitti, 1975 • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfR_HWMzgyc
Kashmir lyrics Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear , Oh, oh. Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin' I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin' All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land Trying to find, trying to find where I've been. Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir. Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear , ohh. When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down... Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there Let me take you there. Let me take you there

Smoke on the Water lyrics We all came out to Montereax, On the Lake Geneva shoreline. To make records with a mobile, We didn't have much time. But Frank Zappa and the Mothers, Were at the best place around, But some stupid with a flare gun, Burned the place to the ground. Smoke on the water and fire in the sky. Smoke on the water... They burned down the gambling house, It died with an awful sound. (Uh) Funky Claude was running in and out, Pulling kids out the ground. When it all was over, We had tofindanotherplace. ButSwisstimewasrunning out, Itseemedthatwewouldlosetherace. Smokeonthewater and fireinthesky. Smokeonthewater... We ended upatthe Grand Hotel. Itwasemptycold and bare. Butwiththe Rolling truck Stones thingjustoutside, Makingourmusicthere. With a fewredlights, afew old beds, We made a placetosweat. No matterwhatweget out of this, I knowIknowwe'llneverforget. Smokeonthewater and fireinthesky. Smokeonthewater...
