By the time of the live recording of "Kashmir" at Knebworth on August 4, 1979, Led Zeppelin was nearing the latter stages of their career. The band's most recent studio album before this performance was "Presence," released in 1976. However, the band was also known for heavily relying on their earlier works during live performances, making songs like "Kashmir" from the 1975 album "Physical Graffiti" a staple in their setlists. The Knebworth concert marked one of their last major performances together, showcasing their enduring popularity despite the tensions within the band. Additionally, the performance was notable for being part of a larger festival gathering, which demonstrated Led Zeppelin's significant status in rock music during this era, even as they were beginning to face challenges that would later lead to their eventual disbandment.
