“Burning down one side” “In the mood” “Ship of fools” “Heaven Knows” are all great Plant songs

[@Awall79]

Ship of fools is so amazing! 29 palms and calling to you as well.

[@Renkk17]

Also - Tall Cool One - 29 Palms - Sea of Love

‘Song to the siren’ is a great cover too.

what he said

[@bscott5965]

Phil Collins, a good friend of Plant, talked him out of retiring. Told him he'd play drums on his first solo effort and tour with him. That's Phil Collins

[@sileascaitroina6322]

And other albums as well. Close mates.

[@rickpetersen1745]

Led Zeppelin disbanded in 1980 after John Bonham died. This was recorded in 1983, when all remaining members were free to do solo projects.

[@chrisjenkins6120]

🎼There’s nobody can sing bluesy blues like Robert Plant. He’s been singing with Allison Krauss lately and you talk about some good listening. But after all, Robert Plant is the King of Goosebumps. Been listening to him many years since Led Zepplin. After all we are in our 70’s and have been appreciating Robert Plant all these years.🎼💟☮️

Allison Krauss has the voice of an angel and is a badass violin virtuoso

[@ninRAIDER]

Robert Plant has an entire Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame level career in addition to Led Zeppelin. Dude is one of the all time greats.

[@helenespaulding7562]

It’s a crime that he’s not been inducted as a solo artist. Hell, even PHIL COLLINS hasn’t. That’s just a travesty. Maybe after they both pass on… ☹️

Robby Blunt on guitar…..outstanding player, vastly underrated and criminally unrecognized by most.

Robbie Blunt has always been one of my favorite guitarists Classy indeed .

Hails from my neck of the woods, Kidderminster, England. Now retired to the Canaries. Watched him play many times - just a great guitarist

I saw him once in Oklahoma. I had balcony seats on the rail. When a song finished I said “ I love you Robert!” He looked at me like “ Really?” 😂 His voice is still amazing.

[@joshuadeshaies7266]

Robert is the GOAT for rock n roll singers!!

[@ScotlandSword]

Phil Collins plays drums on this track! Also Phil Collins plays on the track: In The Mood.

[@TheoZoffrok]

The drumming on this song is electronically programmed, so it's definitely not Phil Collins. This is from his second solo album (The Principle Of Moments), and IIRC Phil Collins only played on the first one (Pictures At Eleven). Robbie Blunt's guitar is the MVP here for sure, and Paul Martinez is on point with the bass. That chord change before he sings "leading me on" is absolutely *gorgeous* isn't it?

[@tammydean3003]

Love Big Log! Ship Of Fools and I'm In The Mood are two others worth checking out.

[@tamitatangoto5134]

My favorite part of this song BIG LOG is the guitar,.. that touches my heart❤ every time that I hear it. I can listen to it over and over just to hear the guitar.🎉

[@ryanr5319]

Robbie Blunt is the guitarist, I think. Something Blunt. He has such great phrasing. Rob's solo work is a whole other rabbit hole. Worth the time. He employs amazing musicians.

In the Mood from the same album is stellar too!

[@SnailMailShell]

This is perfect to play on a cool summer night, riding with the windows down … so late that no one else is on the road. It’s soul stirring. And your reaction is how I feel every time I listen to it. I feel like a teenager swept up by what the future could hold.

[@kimmorrill7060]

Robert Plant Rocks! I grew up with the incredible bands of the 60's and 70's. Will never be this great of music again. Im glad I grew up in that time!

Me also. We were very lucky....spoiled us for music going forward. Now a days crap. Mostly. No texture. Lyrics lacking. All the same beat. Just a shame....

[@jackolson8775]

For sure the 70s-90s was the Golden Age of music for most, but there are kids now discovering all the old stuff (thanks, in great part ,to KZbin) . Some will take what theyve learned & make it their own. Modern production techniques are garbage, but people are realizing this and Id like to hope that soon pitch correction, quantizing, looped drums, click tracks and all that other garbage will be a thing of the past. ..and to be fair, some of that stuff has its place, but its so misused & overused so often , that it takes any "life" right out of the songs.

That was the fantastic Robbie Blunt on guitar who had the impossible task of following up Page as Plant's guitar muse. When I saw this tour Phil Collins was drumming but on this song he played xylophone. "Tie Dye On The Highway" is a fave by Plant. Pure banger.

You broke this reaction down beautifully. I remember first hearing this song when i was 6 years old and stopped me dead in my tracks. I've loved this song all my life. Every time I've heard it, I get teleported somewhere. Everything else disappears. Your interpretation is exactly 100% Spot On. I wished you'd consider doing a video on "29 Palms". That was another beautiful solo hit from him he put out in 93. Thanks for a beautiful trip down memory lane.

[@theresaaguiar4549]

I agree, this is a timeless song. Robert Plant is the best rock vocalist of his time 12:12 and goes from rich, raunchy, sultry, to soft and smooth. Every time I hear this song I melt. The melody is superb. Love your channel. It's awesome to see you freaking out over songs I've known for decades. Great music never goes out of style. But listen to Pearl Jam or Soundgarden and hear amazing vocals. Maybe you already have...

[@helenespaulding7562]

This was guitarist Robby Blunt. I believe he stayed with Plant until around 1988. He always matched up with outstanding musicians. After Zeppelin, his standards were high, to say the least. He did have the habit of firing his bands every few years….at least until the 90’s when he reunited with Page. Always searching for new sounds and ideas. After 2000, not so much. He found his place and had stopped trying to catch the “golden ring”……again

for a period, yes.. 25 years or more?.. . and recently he has done amazing work with Alison Krauss, a talented artist who writes and plays country, bluegrass and singer-songwriter folk. I was born in 73.. and grew up hearing Zep and many others on the radio and from my parents LP collections.. but I was "coming of age" when Plant was rising as a solo artist. I was "blessed (I am an atheist hahah), to get to see Plant live, 2 times, after he released Now and Zen and Manic Nirvana. These 2 albums are FANTASTIC... but he had some amazing gems, that predate these two albums.. this is one of them. SIX START SONG ON A SCALE OF 1-5.. ;)

Robert Plant has been singing as a solo artist since Led Zeppelin disbanded in 1980 and has released very good albums. He didn't want to just be the former singer of Led Zeppelin forever but wanted to live out his own creativity. On his first album there is a song that is still in the Led Zeppelin style "Slow Dancer". A great piece of music.

This song has something special about it. I could never quite put my finger on it, but there is just something about this song that resonates with me. It is one of a literal handful of songs that I can say instantly takes me to another place. Now, there are lots of other songs that kind of do that, but "Big Log" is one that I don't even have to think of when trying to name them. As soon as those first five guitar notes are cast into the air, I catch my breath in anticipation of the beautiful isolation this song seems to conjure. I was in love with this song long before I saw the video, and can honestly say that the video is, thematically, EXACTLY what I picture in my head when I listen to it. Your life has now been made better, for listening to "Big Log" by Robert Plant.
