I agree that Jimmy Page's contribution was insignificant (except for
visual aesthetics:).  However, I do think all that brass and strings
going full bore, kompleat with guy ranting over the top was pretty
intense.  (Mind you, I guess many people might consider turning a HR
sacred cow like "Kashmir" into a rap song to be rather sacrilegious.:)

Cheers,

Paul.
