The man, the myth, THE LEGEND who every man wondered what it be like and every woman to be with. As He gets older it tears me up because listening to Zeppelin is connected to so many of my memories growing up and with those days behind me/us. There comes a time now that tells us even The God is mortal. I dread the day I come onto the internet and read that the lead singer or guitarist has passed away. Because a piece of me will be gone too. Zeppelin forever.

He is very good at covering other singers as well if he wants to, yet his own style is unmistakable. When you listen to an original song by him you know it's him singing it, there is no question. He is a true gem a one of a kind. There will never be another like him. We love you Robert!

The voice, guitars, bass and drums were at another level all together. I started playing guitar at that time and would listen to Page's sublime licks and riffs and just wondering how in the world does he achieve that magic and getting literally lost in Plant's unmatched and haunting voice...Thank you Led Zep for all this contribution to the world.

I made this comment for Freewheeling ideas in which I recounted seeing Led Zep on their very first visit to the USA. Some older musician freinds insisted that I accompany them from southern Connecticut to Boston Mass. to see this exciting new blues based band from the UK. And so I saw a tremendous show at the Boston Tea Party, a very popular venue at the time.Jimmy Page was the only member I was familiar with due to his stint in the Yardbirds. It was the tail end of 1968; I had just turned 16.Robert Plant was 20, Bonham a year older I believe. After the show we were able to visit with them for a short while. I found myself speaking with Robert who had a thick midlands British accent. He told me how he and Bonham had been astonished to see NYC cops with huge holstered guns on their belts.(don't have that in the UK) It is something I have never forgotten as I watched them ascend to become such huge stars catching Led Zep the following year 1969 at NYs Fillmore east and the Newport Jazz Fest. It's really an astonishing recollection, one of the very best and as a performing musician I've had my share. Thats it!!!

As a teen in the sixties, it’s extremely distressing reaching that phase where all of the sixties music icons are moving on. From my perspective, the 60’s-70’s was a 500 yr event. Name any decade since and the a large portion of the artists will credit the Beatles, Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Stones etc. etc., of having a direct effect on their music. Peace.

After watching this video, the song Good Times Bad Times comes to mind. I have seen Robert Plant 7 times and that includes one with Led Zepp. I saw Page Plant three times and every performance by Plant will be etched into my memory. Happy 76th birthday Robert Plant

How lucky I was to grow up as these artists emerged and made their marks! At 69, I'm going to as many live shows as I can afford. My understanding and appreciation have deepened over time, and I'm moved, often to tears, by the music. Joni Mitchell two nights ago, Clapton before that, David Gilmour next week... I would never have imagined that I would be seeing these exceptional people performing into their 80s. Thank you, Black Dog! 🙏💙🎶🙏💙🙏💙🎶🎵💙
