Battle of Evermore

[@Matt-uj6jm]

First heard this travelling up to the highlands in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 1973 64 next year still listening 👍

[@beanalog8202]

Amazing mandolin work.. WOW. My favorite part of this song is the mandolin rocking it out 👍

[@ivanhecimovic8397]

Wow this is absolutely mesmerising. Imagine witnessing this live, certainly something you would cherish for the rest of your life. Plant is so comfortable singing this folk style of music and Krauss complements him beautifully.

[@mysterions13]

I saw them perform this live! On Oct 1st 2008, Seattle. I was so lucky as the last 5 shows of that tour were an extra last addition. Row 11 tickets, & this song was indeed mesmerizing!!

[@MsWarriordiva]

Robert always liked blues & folk. A lot of LZ was ethereal with a rock twist. This is LZ tamed.

[@Mang213]

Wow. Gives me the chills. Reminds me of the first time I ever listened to Led Zeppelin IV all the way through. Magical

[@papa-ql3xb]

I think Alison is the only one who does Sandy's part justice. What an amazing voice! An angel on earth, and Robert gets to sing with her. Lucky man!!!!

[@paullevine1813]

Papa, Yes indeed those are big shoes to fill & Sandy was way ahead of the pack always. Alison is the perfect pick to sing this with Robert.

[@nickgeorgiou7770]

She’s the only one I can envision singing with RP. I can’t see anyone else doing this song

[@Matt-uj6jm]

Can you tell me please who was the original 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@nickgeorgiou7770]

@@Matt-uj6jm Sandy Denny

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

I read both John Paul Jones and John Bonham took turns singing Sandy's parts live while Led Zep existed.

[@deborahhughes6923]

I loved it when Sandy Denny sang it with Robert Plant. But yes Alison Krause does a great job. Robert still sounds great as always. Great song, takes me back...to the day.☮

[@lorijones9579]

Every respect to these two wonderful artists! So glad the video is here for us here.

[@Oysterfeather]

I hope these two incredible voices make many more records together. Superlative.

[@tazkrebbeks3391]

When I wore a younger man's clothes I wish one of those that were hooting and hollering all the time at a concert. Now That I'm Older all I want them to do is shut the fuk up so I can listen to the music. How times have changed. LOL.

[@robinhood480]

I went to see Neil Young and Crazy Horse around 1996 and everyone stood in the seats and screamed and hollered nonstop. Couldn’t see or hear the music..... just noise. They opened with HeyHey My and that was all I got. The lights went out and the volume went up....WAY UP. Feedback guitar for 30-45 minutes. No attempt to play a song. We walked out. Later in guitar magazines they said Neil had been doing that on this tour.

[@Mang213]

Yep, same here. I used to be the one raising hell, now I want people to shut up and don't bump into me 🤣

[@997C2SCabriolet]

This video is very jumpy and the mic gain was too high resulting in distortion especially vocals. It was a new camera and I wasn’t used to all the controls/features. Plus, ushers were watching for people in the crowd who were recording then way more than now so it made it more difficult to hold steady. The show was truly epic.

[@chadsimmons6347]

Dirty rotten pirate!!! Just kidding iv'e done the same thing, but didn't have the balls to publicly post my musical-booty. (good-upload)

[@lesheath6216]

Thank you for giving us this!

[@stephencostello3174]

True, Robert's vocals are hurt worse. Allison sounds OK. Robert's is uh.. lol Robert Plant had the loudest concert I've ever attended. I've attended a LOT of concerts. Wonder how loud this was?

[@deborahhughes6923]

That's ok,still got it!

[@deborahhughes6923]

Robert still sounds great what the heck are you going about? Dude he is 73,he sounds really great. Sounds the same,theres no denying that.

[@johncole015]

Ann and Nancy Wilson did an incredible version of this song on tour in 2013

[@isabellrc]

WoW, what a combination; never heard this collaboration. Krauss’s voice is phenomenal!

[@bornintherain]

Listen to them sing Gone Gone Gone, I think you will really enjoy it.

[@sueprice3315]

They have a new album out, it's great!

[@sabine3769]

Love this duo. The best ever

[@skullzman]

Never thought I would ever hear anyone but Sandy Denny do justice to this song

[@scottalan5282]

The mandolin may be my fave - especially when put to great use like here, and Heart's Sylvan Song/Dream of the Archer. Heavenly.

[@BlueRidgeKat1]

Nancy Wilson is a very underrated player.

[@rundoetx]

What a great performance of on of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs ever.

[@rickbullock4331]

I’m sure this performance would have been amazing to see in person. The audio/visual were unfortunately not good but I appreciate that this person did upload to KZbin.👍👍

[@markmccauley3693]

Robert plant is ageless! He's a freaking god!

[@martypalanos2460]

two of my favorite memories seeing Lepplin back in the 70s and AK with Union Station in the late 90s or I think those are the correct decades.

[@raymonddussault7324]

You Led me to the wrong by Robert and Alison from raise the roof is my favorite song on the album living legend ...wow....

[@joeyhuebner10]

I really like Go Your Way and Searching For My Baby. While record is amazing though.

[@nicholastanton8404]

I wish they'd put some of these awesome songs on an album. I've been searching KZbin for the best sound, this may be it.

[@ivanwesley8182]

Alison Krauss can sing anything, she’s an amazing talent

[@Bigdaddylobo1]

That's the great Buddy Miller on acoustic guitar and likely the musical director of this project.

[@paullevine1813]

Bob, Buddy Miller musician extraordinaire.

[@Bigdaddylobo1]

@@paullevine1813 Agreed, also to his singer/songwriter side. His records are amazing.

[@missing1102]

Buddy has a had an impact on Plant for sure. I love Robert but Miller is sti sterile of a player for me.

[@joeyhuebner10]

T Bone was the linchpin of this project. Buddy was the catalyst for Band Of Joy, along with Patty Griffin, Marco Giovino... etc.

[@MB_MN_19]

Oh gosh! The A/V quality isn’t the greatest, but still, this performance is stunning. One of The Led Zeppelin’s great tracks. Robert Plant must be in awe sharing the stage with such an awesome talent as Alison Krauss, and vice versa.

[@jamesmchugo9422]

This would have been funny to see live. It’s a pity the sound is so poor in quality. Krauss’ and Plant’s voices complement each other so well but it’s hard to hear over the distortion.

[@joenosser]

WOW AWESOME!

[@Horseluvver]

EPIC

[@sirfred1961]

2 legends

[@RicardoMartinez-jy5lo]

It is obvious here that Alison Krauss, a generation younger than Plant, is an old Led Zeppelin fan who knows the band's songs by heart. Sweet!

[@joeyhuebner10]

She actually knew little about Zep before meeting Robert

By this time, Robert was well beyond his years of being able to hit the high notes. And Alison has one of the most heavenly voices on the planet. This song isnt really her style, but seek out her album / video of duets with different famous singers. Its sensational.

[@andrehughes1]

Yes sound was not so good. Robert Plant is a treasure. This ethereal masterpiece deserves better production. Fog, lightning, thunderbolts. The guitarist needs to strum the chords harder. The mandolin playing was so generic. Everything was so bland. It doesn't matter that Robert doesn't hit the high notes anymore. Great staging and production would have made this timeless.

[@ronnieguitar99]

I know I saw a video of this before that was indoors and had good sound. Might not be up now.
