Digging Deep, The Robert Plant Podcast - Series 2 Episode 1 - Tin Pan Valley

[@jackk364]

Just saw Robert Plant in Moorhead. The show was simply amazing. His band is definitely sensational as their name suggests and Mr. Plant still rules the stage. Thanks for the memories.

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

It never ceases to amaze me how he has evolved and continues to sound so good well into his seventies! It gives all of us who are older that hope that we can keep doing what we are doing into old age!

[@SilvaRama]

I wish I could give Robert Plant a big hug

[@avalondreaming1433]

And he would give you a big hug right back, , because that's the kind of man he is. I've met him.

same here. i would like to know what he thought of "thor: ragnarok" and its usage of "immigrant song".

[@applejaxx1613]

Since Bob, yeah, I refer to him very informally, has been a world traveler, he would know a lot about water going down the drain differently in the Northern Hemisphere, as opposed to the Southern. It would be fascinating to hear his take on that❗❗✨

[@patrickgragg5602]

I met him in the restaurant of the motel that we were both staying at in Telluride for the Telluride Blue grass Festival 2012 he's a big man! And I bet he still got tons a versus in his head to write down

[@patrickgragg5602]

I put my hand on his shoulder while he was eating breakfast that morning and I said this I'll never forget," thank you mister plant for four Decades of everything"! He didn't even stop eating he just shook his head yes at me and kept eating and I left and started playing harmonica

Plant/Willy Nelson live last weekend near Indianapolis. Willys fans (a more reserved crowed usually ) shocked their own selves realizing they were on their feet Rockin for the whole Plant show! I don't think they experienced anyting like that before and they most definitely thoroughly enjoyed it! Plant made thousands of new fans from a whole nother genre of music. Great memories with pickwickee!

[@KyzylReap]

Saw him and the Sensational Space Shifters at the legendary Surf Ballroom last Monday night. Incredibly good. Got a photo of him walking into the venue, too.

The flippance...love the word smithery - we know the mighty rearrangement is gorgeousness - the rarified air is always creating music without being sucked into anything less than this beautiful spirit

[@moose6988]

I would love to hear a Digging Deep on Stairway to Heaven. Robert has such a mysterious relationship to this song. It is so beloved, and yet he does not choose to perform it or even discuss it much. I think that it would be such a revelation to hear what exactly it is about Stairway that he does not enjoy. He has said that he was so young when he wrote it that he doesn’t feel that it represents him justly as a lyricist, yet millions of people believe that the song is perfect. Wouldn’t it be great if Robert were to discuss his thoughts and feelings on it once and for all?

[@siblysibly5599]

The music and the lyrics....amazing.

[@guzmanperez1109]

Its an amazing song and it needs no discussion.

[@pauledwards3992]

Stairway to Heaven is, was , and until something better gets created - remains my all time favorite song.

[@robwyn1]

He doesn't discuss it due to the death of his son. R.I.P.!

[@moose6988]

Rob Davies, Stairway to Heaven has absolutely nothing to do with the death of Karac, nor does it have anything to do with the afterlife.

[@malcolmadams2105]

I was just to poor plant not for lack of wanting to be there. Eccles theater 🎭 I was there in spirit. Singing in my truck. Your greatest accomplishment is being around still which I think about often even though you could be retired, which is amazing and as a musician I will never stop writing and playing and singing So thank you for that

Although Robert says he won't write his autobiography, he has left us with the songs and the great lyrics of his life. In his lyrics that's where you will find his story. Thank you Mr. Plant

Lovely to see Robert earlier this year in Cheltenham, and great to hear another series of these podcasts too. Makes for fascinating listening.

[@beatatomaszewska5009]

This man this is true walking story ;)not only his song . So many time he give us too much his music . He told , played in this many country .... for us mayby for himself? His work were already famous so long time and influenced many pop bands all over Europe and America. I think Robert was able to put into words all the fears and hopes he felt inside and give us, this is your music . You do something very important !

The Strange Sensation, now evolved into The Sensational Space Shifters. are, together with Robert Plant, a feast for the senses. A mix of Rock, Blues, Jazz and "exotic" African sounds or Traditional Deep American or Wales folklore, blending musical styles from England, the U.S., and the Middle East, they're simply magical. I've seen them at least six times, from Liverpool in 2017 to Bath Festivals and Cardiff in Wales in 2018, their incredible Scandinavian Tour from Bergen to Reykjavik's "Secret Solstice" in Iceland and even last weekend in The Bourbon & Beyond Festival in Louisville US and you know? They're getting better and better! Such different individuals with so different conceptions about music, sounding together as one powerful unique Sensational band. From the romantic Liam Tyson to exotic Justin Adams, to the freshness of Billy Furrer's bass or deep keyboarder John Baggot, to the powerful drums of Dave Smith and the incredible multi-instrumentalist Seth Lakeman (now touring UK and replaced by the sweet fiddle of Lillie Mae), and of course, the voice and the soul of Robert Plant, the legendary singer. Great musicians that have the ability to transport us listeners to new worlds, they take their audience on a journey across the continents by infusing several genres of music, including American roots music, Celtic folk, reverberating trip-hop, and hypnotic Middle Eastern and African grooves without missing some Led Zeppelin songs, with a new twist. The word to describe the experience is only one: Magnificent!

[@ponnywarcat3478]

Story of my life, moving right along without a plan. Some stuff I dont want to say. For instance, I'm not really comfortable talking about an Native American Vision, maybe call it the Shape Shifters, maybe not. I was lucky to visit Estoniia once, I was on a ship. An African guy on there would make homemade African gin. It was very good, but it gave me miserable hangovers the next day. I dont know how I survived. There is an equation connected to the Vision, now that you mention it. I don't talk about the specifics very often because it's a very unorthodox subject and I can't expect people to believe me. It's kinda difficult to follow an Indian Vision in the digital age of technology. Lots of distractions.

His interview with Dan Rather when asked about Stairway. He said, it was a song written by a 25 yr old designed for 25 yr olds. His solo career has been 3 times as long as his time in Zepp, cant live in the past, so many of these now old guys do very little except live off the tunes from their youth.

Overall I want to thank you for the podcast and I send lots of love your way 😊❤️😘

[@timetraveller1702]

Just write about what you know.... all he does.... keeps notes of thoughts and ideas all the time....I think putting a twist or a different perspective onto an everyday thought or feeling/experience gives results and being somewhat oblique... give the audience something to think on and potentially work out

[@hooliogoolio4446]

heard this song for the first time in mohegan sun when he performed there live in i think 2014. I recorded the show on this crappy little audio recorder. IIll never forget hearing THIS and i HAD to go back and listen a million times to this song on the recording. I compared it to the studio version and he sung it differently i noticed. Completely awesome in different ways. I than started checking out the previous nights shows on youtube of that song and realized he sang it differently every night bringing something different yet deep constantly. The way he does it is just...holy shit...This song is HEAVY and BEAUTIFUL

Those who post negative vibes have missed the point of Tin Pan Valley. Robert doesn't owe us anything, doesn't need to rehash his past or become a self-parody. He could hang up his mic and retire to a shed in the hills but he has a gift and curiosity that he still needs to fulfill and shares with those who want to listen. If you don't like it, fine, but I for one owe him and his crew, present and past, a huge thank you for being a part of the journey. Music and song is 'a light in dark places'. X
