That Robert can take these iconic songs and mold them into who he is today and not who he was 50 years ago is a milestone in itself. Honoring his past without exploiting, living in or insulting it. Genius.

Well said Steve 👍🏽 I endorse your comments absolutely. 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I absolutely Love the original Led Zeppelin version But I think this is great in its own right the rockabilly element is fabulous Robert & Imelda have amazing singing chemistry Jools piano playing is out of this world. The Band is just brilliant. It really really works

[@ChrisW1962]

My least fav Zep song, cause it's so overplayed like Stairway I'd be happy to never hear it again

Sounds excellent! Believe it or not me and my wife were walking in the Opry Mills Mall in Nashville earlier this year and when I looked over there was Robert Plant walking in the mall by himself. I did a double take, smiled and nodded to him and he did the same..cool moment.

Saw many of Robert's duets with female singers... This one was the best by far!

I like some of RP's duets with Allison, but this just has incredible energy. I'd luv to hear RP and Imelda together on 29 Palms. 🎶💙🎶

[@billplaney2585]

Check out Imelda with Jeff Beck - they did a Les Paul tribute tour together. She was amazing [of course so was Jeff - RIP :( ].

The duet with Sandy Denny was the best. Just my personal opinion ! Everybody has their own individual taste.

@Jeffery Roberts what I love about Plant is that he arranges classic Zep to suit his current vocal capabilities. I don’t feel like he’s constantly trying to recreate his vocal range or capabilities of 50 years ago. Wish more of his era recognized the power of such a game plan!
