Re: Been to a good gig lately? [Merged]
So. Robert Plant & Alison Krauss.... Where do I start...I'm still on an an emotional musical high since December 10, when I was honored to be in attendance at the Led Zeppelin reunion. I'll try and separate the Zeppelin stuff from the concert.
I really dug Robert's and Alison's new CD. fine chill out music with a great tenderness from both. The concert captured the CDs emotions perfectly. a warmth in their voice. Band were tight and there was great interaction between Alison, Robert & T-Bone Burnett. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. If you have the album Trampled Rose, Through the morning, through the night and Killing the Blues were highlights.
The Zeppelin stuff. A slow but menacing Black Dog, A fine Black country Woman and The Battle for Evermore.. It was obvious throughout the show that Robert wanted to distance himself from future Zeppelin happenings or possibilities,mentioning that this album is a start of a long journey. He has stage presence, and in that regard, dominated the stage over the others. He was clearly having fun/
Who knows on the reunion. It is now clearly obvious that Page, and Jones (and Bonham) are keen, and Page has written and demo'd new material. 50/50 chance on future concerts is my guess. Better odds than 2 years ago.
all in all, if you like the album, you would not have left disappointed.
