Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - The Battle of Evermore, Live in Kansas City, MO (5/5/2023)

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss performing Led Zeppelin's “The Battle of Evermore” live at the Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, MO on 5/5/2023.

[@docwells7]

Alison has the voice of an angel. Robert is one of my favorite lead rock vocalists of all time. God had to be involved in putting these two together.

[@rica325]

God and TBone Burnett

[@christopherdevoto9024]

Agreed 👍

[@susanlandis2882]

Otherworldly. I love it when music and vocals paralyze and cleanse my soul. Plant, Krause, and a mandolin…I’m 68yo and this is badass❤

[@billtaylor3382]

I will turn 66 next week my friend and I totally agree!

[@chadpetersen2416]

A mere 57, but both were on my bucket list long before their collaboration. I'll be there 6/11/24 in Des Moines, IA!

[@debbywatson7217]

❤️❤️❤️

[@JH-zv7lt]

Agree 100%

[@tatman8240]

Wow man. Agreed. I remember when I was in grade school. The class went to a city of Phoenix orchestra and I was able to see colors for the first time. I still feel it.

[@rond227]

Robert Plant still sounds so good. A lot of other aging rockers don’t even compare.

[@NalaRichenbach]

A lot of them are not here anymore. The one who really shocked me was Tom Petty...he was only like 62. I believe that Robert has ridden horses his whole life...that alone keeps your body strong and in good shape.

[@martincox9879]

He needs 2 tour with Zep and Jason Bonham and quit collaborating with the young girl hes infatuated with. I get it but nobody cares abt her they just want Zep on tour 1 last time

[@otisdriftwood1697]

@@martincox9879why should you ever say "one last time" ??? I hate that kind of thing !! WHY EVER stop ?? 😖

[@ljerkadevcic]

Yes, yes!!

[@Cynthiatomaski-s4b]

I think that is because he's opened to new adventures in music (who would've thought he'd team up with a country voice like Alison?). He's never let himself go stale.

[@SHANNONBARTLETT-fy4vp]

In 2006, I was hit by an emotional tsunami (as a close friend worded it). My wonderful husband passed away, my son was deployed to Afghanistan, I was laid off from a job that I loved, and the engine in my vehicle seized up. This song spoke to me at that time.

[@melindajordan3]

Alison Krause can heal with that angel voice! Prayers that you are healing, trusting and still loving. 🥰

[@kurtb8474]

Robert aged well. He reminds me of what I would imagine King Arthur would look like.

[@LollieVox]

& Allison is wearing a medieval style dress, to match his style & the song’s!

[@AnitaBarnes-e1p]

Robert is my fav!!! But that was funny. I get it 😂

[@jackbotsford8688]

He looks like King Theoden

[@satori03]

I LOVE that and YES!

[@gunterluber7882]

like an oak - a monument

[@EllenBeeBoutique]

A true testament to the fact that classics never die

[@raylewis5235]

Robert has evolved better than most of us could ever hope to.. LEGEND...

[@michellelanden3017]

Yeah he follows the path of music🎶...a real talent...and Allison Krause is a gem....🎶

[@joekoons1937]

Sometimes in life one of a kind voices connect to create the sounds of the gods. Sir Robert is still a voice to reckon with. Alison is an Angel in human form. Such talent these two possess 😊

[@bartman4556]

well said , full agreement

[@Nrgheal]

Robert Plant is a Rock Star in every sense of the world ~ A Rock God! I’ve seen him about 9 times counting Led Zeppelin & he is Immortal

[@richhopson6063]

7 times including 4 with Zeppelin and I agree.

[@c.jakubowski6549]

Me too! Love him. Always will be my favorite. First concert at 15, I am now 63 years old.

[@thesnoopydance645]

He is a god, agreed.

[@BillJImmis]

We worked the Cajun & Bluegrass festival in the 80s/90s. It was a small festival with 5000 or so in attendance. The stage was a tiny, covered thing only rising up about six inches off the ground. Alison and Union Station closed on that last night. Halfway through their set the power went out and since it was a very low budget affair, there was no backup generator. They finished the set acoustically, moving to the very edge of the stage as the audience scrunched together seated on the dirt. It was a memory.

[@carolwright2091]

My lovely dear friend who passed away 4 years gone now 😢 this was played at her funeral she just loved Zeppelin x ❤

[@Cchan53]

Watch the interview for Brian Johnson's show where he interviews Plant...Robert looks exactly like someone from long ago...some mystical, legendary place in British Isles...

[@elliottholmes5529]

Robert Plant,, His Voice Is Still Wonderful...

[@chrisgreene2623]

Wow, Plant still has some power in that voice. This is a great version of this song. How these two came together with their own original recordings together is just a blessing for the rest of us.

[@lilsuzq32]

Plant has always been a blues singer -- even I, growing up in the rock years from the late 50s to the mid 80s recognized this. So were the early Stones songs, along with The Who and the Moody Blues, and a lot of other so-called "rock groups" who had their roots in the blues. Listen to groups like Chicago, Styx, The Buckinghams, - even the Beatles - etc. -- they all used blues music to enhance the "new" rock genre. It was always new music drawn from old rhythms.

[@bluebird3281]

[@jamescarone9553]

200 % correct..Muddy Waters inspired many rockers!

[@leonardotherapydog7677]

I saw this live at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin. I've seen Robert Plant a bunch of times. I was never a big Alison Krause fan, but she gained my respect with her performance on this song. Long live Robert Plant!

[@coreydunlap5260]

Wow……I think I would have teared up……one of my favorite tunes. Robert is so in tune and in control with his vocals. Aware of what he can and can’t get away with.

It really embellishes this song, does it not? Stellar! 💫💫

Robert still has that power to his voice.

[@lauraa744]

I never heard her voice before and WOW is it awesome!!! Imagine being able to sing with the legend of rock=Plant! What an amazing performance! Loved it

[@7thsonofa7thson80]

She has 26 Grammy for a reason. At one time she had the most for a female artist. Beyonce beat her sadly. Not that Beyonce isn't good but alison is better in my opinion.

[@Robertplant-c6h]

They are wonderful together!

We need much much more of this kind of music. Writers please come forth. We need anthems like this and others to light the fires of a new age of peace following the violence that awaits us. These musical geniuses have blessed us, be not in doubt.

I made the tough decision when we saw them at Bethel Woods... I did not shoot this song. I wanted to enjoy it to the fullest. I also, was in tears by the end and Goosebumps. I did, in my opinion...
