So me and my girlfriend are sitting around watching this video a few minutes ago. She looks at me dead straight and says, "hey that's that dude that sang with Alison Krauss, he's alright."

[@5150SP]

Some aging rock stars should take notice of how dignified Robert Plant performs at his age. He is not trying to be who he once was. And this is why people should stop asking for a Zeppelin reunion. It is best left to memory or at least to different interpretations that don't border on self parody.

[@richardbrucemusic]

I just bought the "Celebration Day" DVD and it's as good as LZ will ever be. Plant is honoring the old and incorporating the new in a very respectable way. And while his face shows a lot of miles, his voice still rings true. Let's just appreciate him and the music while we can.

Agreed. So glad i grew up in the 60's 70's. The best music.

[@Gino565]

Wow, what a surprise. Person who grew up in specific decade thinks that decade had the best music, haven’t heard that one before. I swear 90% of people get old and grow bitter towards music, thinking it was only good when they were younger. It’s sad. You aren’t saying anything new. And if you were a genuine lover of music you’d be well aware that there’s great music in every decade. Imagine being quiet so foolish as to think that out of hundreds of years of documented musical creations, one single decade is where it was best, and it just so happens to be the decade you grew up in (shock). Cut the ignorance.

[@jeannelogan]

Jack Kilman you perfectly put into words my exact thoughts and emotions, upon listening to this reinvention of one of my most favored Zep Classics. The ages conveyed in Mr Plant's voice adds a depth, richness and layers of emotions that one developes only through the passage of times. I can hear many lifetime's in the way he sings this piece now, that I had never heard before when compared to his delivery, back in his younger years. Mr Plant's voice and delivery resonates so much deeper, than I had once believed possible. ✌💖

[@andreaholley9496]

Totally agree with you ... the range and variation in power is MUCH more effective

[@brentwerley6762]

This is EXACTLY why he will often talk about his early Led days and say things like he had a long way to go with his voice back then. Somewhere along the way, he got progressively aware from just going over the top with it and emphasizing more and more the character, subtleties, depth of emotion, and sensuality of his voice.

What a fantastical guitarist this dude is .... Robert is so blessed to have him 🎸🎶🎶✨✨✨

[@brianpotter3870]

Liam Tyson, lead guitarist from Cast, brilliant underrated band.

[@andreaholley9496]

Thanks for his name & Band - will look them up now

[@barzac]

To be fair, it would be hard for him to settle for any less on the zep tunes?

[@danpritchett5617]

From 2023. This is as spectacular as any Led Zeppelin version live.

[@o-o6355]

God, please keep him alive forever.

[@erikekholm9617]

And this is why when someone calls me a boomer, I wear it like a badge of honor!

💗 💖 💘 💝 💟 ☮️

[@rockindrummerguyh484]

Yes me too grew up with inovators not the immatators !!

[@YuriPCesar]

I still have goose bumps when I hear this song.

[@miketori5235]

Robert plant at one of his best

[@MarieLouiseOles]

Love this man!

[@mikestriegel791]

You all were blessed to be here at this moment in time

[@wernerjulinhomantillapizar8255]

Immaculate Robert! And that Rasputin guitar player: a virtouso.

[@dmsffx3482]

I was skeptical to hear someone try and replace Page on a song like this, brought his own classical spanish guitar vibe and blew me away - really well done!

[@siat11]

Class act. He is someone I appreciate more and more as I get older. Like good wine. Cheers to Robert Plant!

[@ThoughtSow]

His voice is pure magic

[@MarieLouiseOles]

Absolutely!!

[@JohnnyNowhere]

I'd be lying if I said that I was a big Zeppelin fan back in those days, but I gotta hand it to Plant, he still has the chops.

[@MrKrinkly]

Makes me smile, remembering Zep at Tampa Stadium, May 5, 1973... keep the fire burning, Robert

[@MrKrinkly]

+M ...Yeah, there was a traffic jam of such size we had to park two miles away and walk to the stadium! 70,000 people covering the entire bleachers and the football field, with many thousands more outside trying to hear the show for free... it was a world's record for a one night show at the time. Impressions... amazing sound system, great setlist, lighting and efx were spectacular, and it was Zeppelin on the Houses of the Holy tour! No Quarter...

[@autumn1231]

They did Tampa June 3 in 1977 also and a couple of days prior to that show I saw Plant, wife and kids ( one child would die only weeks later) and some other guy at Disney World. I asked if I could take a photo and he obliged. I took a few more as he walked away.

[@petepal55]

I was there with my hs gf, halfway up the west bleachers. Bota bags, joints, even pipes were passed. No problems at all, the cops were cool and let us be. Chuck Berry had us all singing My Ding-a-ling...man, that was a great show!

[@dancrowley5897]

[@jahwobble5214]

Saw Lzep Knebworth in England in 1979 - brilliant

[@darrinros1177]

This is the finest front man and singer of the 70s. Period. No one else apply

[@philosopher0076]

Darrin Ros Sorry but that accolade has to go to one, Freddie Mercury.

[@philosopher0076]

Splod ™ Wrong. Freddie liked some of Plant's stuff but NEVER said Plant was better than himself. Show your source for that claim please. And anyone with ears and a brain knows Plant has always had a nasal, whiny, shrill voice...and sang off key ALOT. Freddie's voice, had great shimmer, tone, color, richness, vibrato, resonance, flair, range, perfect pitch, clarity, personality and dynamics like no other in rock or pop music...and in comparison to Plants screechy whine...is light years ahead.

[@salrandazzo6592]

Darrin Ros don't forget about Freddie Mercury

[@salrandazzo6592]

Don't forget about Freddie Mercury

[@holleyhannabach3275]

K knkmmmm knkmmmm Darrin Ros j k

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

If you factor out all his early recordings with the stratospheric high notes, he sounds like he did in the 60's! Awesome vocal tone.

[@midnightrider7648]

VIDEOHEREBOB: he sounds like he did when he was in his 60's? wow. awesome.....

[@hot2warm]

Factor out all the stuff that made him a legendary vocalist.... and you have hollowed-out shell.

[@midnightrider7648]

hot2warm: that is an immutable truth that people just refuse to see/hear. he was a dynamic singer back in the day, but we all grow older and lose the riches of youth.

[@nikitamcconnell8027]

Agree. He rearranged his parts perfectly. Listening to this you would never think it would have been sung differently.

[@MRRIFF567]

Awesome!! Robert still has it and that guitarist killed it!

[@lisat9322]

Wow! Robert Plant will be 72 years old this August 20th. He still sounds soulfully amazing!

[@josephspott3132]

This man has two Hearts . The one that ignites him and the one that ignites his countless fans.

[@ryanday9288]

Crazy, his voice is exactly the same

[@joeyhuebner10]

Ryan Day92- I'd have to somewhat disagree, he is so much more emotive now. His phrasing is better, and his vocal flexibility is superb!

[@dhala54]

I respect Robert Plant, but let's be real honest, he sounds nothing like he did before. Some of you must be listening to something else.

[@allendean9807]

dhala54 this is the same key as the original... for that alone, massive props....

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

He can still hit the occasional high, but the endurance required to stay up there is long vanished. He still sounds great for his age, though. Will always be one of my favorite vocalists.

[@mike-mz6yz]

@@allendean9807 but he doesn't sing it the same, doesn't go all out. anymore. if you had a band. play behind him like zep did, his vocals wouldn't be able to keep up. I respect him, he knows his limitations and performs the song accordingly so it still sound good. He doesn't over reach, but in the original for example he would hold the "baby" for like ten seconds, so it was like "BBBAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYY!!!!" now he just goes "BABY!, "BABY!". Probably because if he tried to hold it his voice would cut out and the song would suck. So he takes the level down and still gives a solid performance. He was the best ever, but unlike mick jagger who is still close to as good as he ever was, Robert cant perform the same style.

[@DanaWebb2017]

They have talent from the family structure that used to exist. Robert is just excellent.

[@DanaWebb2017]

@Robert Plant Plugging along, doing fine.

[@DanaWebb2017]

@Robert Plant I Just got stopped from driving a truck all day and my soon-to-be wife called. No didn't expect it, hope things doing well.

[@paulabrantley9888]

Love Robert Plant!!!

[@jimboyd6609]

Mr. Plant I worshipped you as a teenager but I adore you as an old man. And your recent work with Alison Krauss OMG fabulous.

[@flasheante]

beautiful, come on Robert, call the guys! world tour with Led Zepp!

[@Nicolas11x12English]

I totally agree with you! Haha!

[@MorningView4]

Mariano González why? They have nothing to prove to anyone.

[@tmpc45]

If you have to ask why than you are obviously clueless and probably weren't even alive in the 70's.

[@fredgehrer9441]

I was alive in the 70's and saw Zep live. Listen to the way Robert sings now ... he is in a totally different place musically and vocally than he was in the 70's. Nuff said!

[@davsea123]

I agree. Being in your 70's and living during the 70's are 2 completely different things ;)

[@dogboygerry]

The voice of rock.......

[@alexanderfrommoscow5902]

dogboygerry Yesss!!! He is really the Voice of Rock, fantastic voice!

[@daysofserendipity]

Agree

[@Windband1]

[@luckylucy5503]

absolutly

[@yunv8449]

no one come close

[@trisharydalch1997]

You are beautiful as you have always been Mr. Plant. You alway will be. you have aged so beautifully, but it's no surprise. I only wish you could see this comment and know you have one fan that is totally memorized by your beauty and tone that it's magical. you are the best!

[@rightinthenutsbabe3641]

Trisha Rydalch You're not the only one, he's been fucking "fans" for almost 50 years

[@m.c.9991]

Idiots^^

[@michaelgoodwin1461]

I AGREE ROBERT PLANT IS THE GOLDEN GOD OF ROCK. HIS SINGING IS STILL MAGICAL,MYSTICAL, I HAVE BEEN TO AROUND 50 OF HIS CONCERTS, AND IMAGE A MAN TOURING ALL OVER THE WORLD AT 70YRS OF AGE. ROBERT WILL BE FOREVER YOUNG KEEP THE MOJO PERCY WE LOVE YOU.

[@johnathanray8977]

50 shows ..should of bought his albums would of been way cheaper and more beleaveable

[@rickileee4742]

Trisha Rydalch No f*ckin’ auto-tune goin’ on here :)

[@janesmith716]

Dude pickin the guitar is Awesome!

[@Thompsett]

that guy on classic guitar...amazing

[@ppgab]

Man that guitarrist killed it

[@lindylou7227]

Robert did the right thing to go out on his own. It is the artist in him that makes that call.

[@hughmanatee7657]

“I can hear it calling me the way it used to do.” That line acquires even more meaning fifty years later…

[@Mileniumli]

Te adoro.. ROBERT PLANT... ❤️🤘🥰😘🙄❤️👍

[@MichaelBabb-ed9yk]

Robert Plant should be in the Rock-n- Roll hall of fame as a solo artist, singer and songwriter, still the most amazing musical Artist that I have listened to since I was 10 years old, 57 years ago!!
