Apologies if recent shows by Robert Plant have already been discussed here - but I saw him play in London last night....and it was AMAZING.
I went along with pretty low expectations to be honest...just to tick off another Legend on my list...and I was bracing myself for all the faux-Alabama vocal stylings....but I have to say this guy blew me away.
He did a number of Led Zep songs - When the Levee Breaks, Going to California, Black Dog, Whole Lotta Love, etc - but in a such new way. He and his band ("Strange Presence") have reinvented these old chestnuts and it never sounded like some nostalgia show.
Also - he did a fantastic version of "Morning Dew" - and the new songs were excellent...in a stonerish, trippy way.
Has anyone else seen Robert Plant live recently?
