Robert Plant - Little Maggie at Glastonbury 2014

[@martigrant9966]

Robert Plant is a musical GENIUS. All of the songwriting he has done (Led Zeppelin of course) and is still doing is unbelievable. This song is proof of that. His music never ceases to amaze me. And he is still as sexy as he was when he was in Led Zeppelin back in the 70's. I'm so glad he is still going strong. We need songwriters and singers like him. We really do.

[@stevieray56]

The first recording of “Little Maggie” was around 1928 by the guitar/fiddle duo of Grayson and Whitter. In 1947 or 1948 Dr. Ralph Stanley and his brother, Carter, cut the song as the Stanley Brothers, and it helped put the duo on the map. Dr. Stanley continued on with a solo career after Carter died in 1966, later recording “Little Maggie” with his Clinch Mountain Boys, and the song continues to be a standard for bluegrass pickers worldwide. It’s been recorded by dozens of acts whose initial exposure to the song was Dr. Stanley’s version. Of course, any traditional song that’s been around for so long is bound to have had a few lyrical changes, and many liberties have been taken over the decades. For instance, Dr. Stanley’s versions open with the verse: Oh yonder stands little Maggie With a dram glass in her hand She’s drinking away her troubles She’s a courting another man But Bob Dylan actually ends the song with that verse (more or less) on the version from his 1992 album of traditional covers, Good As I Been To You. And Dr. Stanley, in fact, didn’t sing the verses in the same order as he and his brother did originally. Many other artists have cut the song as well. Due to its age and differences of opinion over who really wrote it in the first place and when, album credits can vary from recording to recording. Most artists simply list the song as traditional, and credit themselves as being the arrangers. And while at least one website says that this is a PD song, a BMI search found that their records credit Dr. Stanley as the composer. Dr. Ralph Stanley was a national treasure who sang and played what he wanted, period, regardless of who did or didn’t like it. It’s pretty likely that the classic “Little Maggie” will continue to be covered, in one form or another, by those who revere traditional American music and true individuality. Personally, I love Robert Plant's banjo-based, albeit somewhat off the wall, version of the song....

Proof...you're never too old to rock and roll.

[@BOBBYEVANSCAKES]

Magnificent ! The elder statesman of Rock has a band that befits his God-like status.Just brilliant :-)

[@IngoBousa]

Always creating.. moving forward.. never boring.. always an inspiration. The Dude.

[@xThomas68]

Ingo Bousa I'm sorry, but the nickname "The Dude" is already used for Nicolas Colsaerts :)

[@JPegaleg]

+Ingo Bousa YOU GOT IT BRO! HE CERTAINLY IS THE DUDE! WHAT AN EPIC PERFORMANCE FULL OF PASSION! LOVE IT! :)

[@rodentcafeteria]

Robert Plant looks and sounds very comfortable right where he is. Time to cease and desist all the calls for a LZ reunion. Plant has moved on and sounds great.

[@suec6311]

I agree with you all the way

[@richardyoung7415]

Legend. PEACE BE WITH YOU MY FRIEND. 🙏 😎✌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇦

[@cristinabeltramo3257]

Robert you make me cry 😢❤

[@markrosenstand4796]

Plant always rocking outside the box inside how historical music finds his Celtic likes and American roots to music back again-like he pays forward.

[@camilovsky227]

Is a pleasure seeing Mr Plant, his voice sounds such a natural.

[@cafe845]

This track is absolutely magical...have listened to it over and over again. The Plant magic lives on like a good wine getting better and better with the years. Fantastic band you have formed Robert and a with that unique blend of instruments you have created the recipe of all recipies. LOVE the Ritti and the amazing talents of Judeh... he injects a unique element that works so well. MORE MORE MORE

[@laurahammond435]

I love Robert Plant.He's still great after all these years.And still hot.

[@qdominika7253]

love youre comment!

[@아홉시똥덩이떼몇달간]

Laura Hammond I hope his ice bucket challenge didn't chill him down. - From a shitless slave region known as the name 'Korea', whose dwellers always steals and begs from Japan's original history which clearly inherited sincere humanity in Ancient Kudara more than its 'original' dwellers in hometown.

[@iroscoe]

You know that when seemingly homemade instruments whose names you don't even know come into play it's going to be sublime or ridiculous,happily this comes down firmly on the sublime side .

[@TamaTimbo]

Rock legend embraces African roots whole heartedly, unashamedly, and on such a big platform. Africa deserves this respect...bloody well done!

[@tammycoates7816]

I never get tired listening to that amazing voice of Robert Plant❤

[@dirkmuc1]

The golden boy of rock'n'roll. Still rolling and always an inspiration.

[@vintagemontres5348]

Great banjo playin' wonderful song!

[@annadmakeeva]

Robert is the class, still sounds so wonderful, one of best gigs of Glastonbury this year

[@satishvis]

This is simply great. Plant! Plant! Plant!. You rock. Always loved Led zep. But you all are geniuses. Loved it.

[@thomaspughsley5515]

Can't stop listening to this! Musical diversity at its finest! And that hint of old Zep in his voice...fantastic stuff.

[@silverbasscross]

This song is such greatness on its own, I've played it like 30 times today, Plant really does not need Zeppelin, this one and Rainbow are just great, keep on!

[@silverbasscross]

Obviously Led Zeppelin III blow away Plant's solo songs, but it's a different genre, different kind of music, and I find it very interesting what Plant is doing with his band(s)

[@stinikey1960]

***** putz

[@EffemeyJon]

Like Tom Jones, and may be Sting, some can rock pop musicians can evolve which is great.

[@Sploooks]

Yep, He's still got it!

[@glitchripple369]

This is absolutely amazing!! Thanks for keeping it real Robert

[@6wm]

Planty! He's still got it. Definitely a great fit with Glastonbury.

[@borjastick]

I thought this was only a few years ago. But it's seven long years. Great stuff.

[@joeyhuebner10]

He did a transcendental little Maggie back in 2019 with his newest collective, Saving Grace. Robert only improves with time.

[@anthony61752]

went back to the roots of the blues & folk love it

[@kanalestragon2952]

It's a great song and a great live interpretation!

[@ZilnichProductions]

Pretty damn good. I'm impressed. He still has it.

[@666Jady]

It couldn't get any better!

[@jupitersdreaming]

Superb- fabulous musicianship and the usual charisma from the great Mr Plant.

[@johncurrie1207]

These guys truly brought the sunshine to Glastonbury rock on

[@pamelastewart2426]

Robert plant is simply the best

[@EffemeyJon]

Beautiful, great to see Robert Plant is still exploring, loved the Irish feel. Some one asked about the other instruments. I have heard the violin before, from Mali? or North Africa? Brilliant!!!! keep it up Mr Plant!!

[@sydbarrett5]

Have you checked out the new stuff from PiL?

[@EffemeyJon]

sydbarrett5 Need to Thanks for your reply

[@sydbarrett5]

Also I agree with you about Plant's performance here. I got a lot of respect for him turning down Led Zep reunions because it wasn't where his heart's at. Still, it would be amazing!

[@meriemsator8072]

the instrument is "RITTI" played by Judeh Camara, musician from Gambia

[@EffemeyJon]

Meriem Sator tanks heard of this...yes the Gambia another West African musical power house

[@kirstenlogan5175]

Yonder corner little Maggie With a dram glass in her hand She's in courtin' with another With another several men Oh the last time I saw Maggie She was sitting by the sea With a forty-four around her And a banjo on her knee Oh how can I ever standing Just to see those two blue eyes Which are shining like two diamonds Like two diamonds in the sky I'm going down to the station With my suit-case on my hand I'm going away, away to leave you To some far distant land 💎

I'd love to hear the words a bit louder. Any of you techy people know why the BBC have the drums & other instruments turned up so loud compared with the voice?

[@ganegalad3164]

Toujours la même voix, la même allure, la même présence! Yoooo!

[@margitpereira7571]

I never knew him and whatever track i try, he just makes me smile. Sound

[@jackieterry6893]

Rock n roll viking true legend always and forever!

[@ArjantinErmeni]

This style to play it's called çiftetelli in turkish and tsifteteli in greek. As always, Mr. Plant is more than a vocalist, he is an awesome Big Artist.

[@HIPOCRATESTOTAL]

if you have the possibility , Never miss him.He still great

[@tedferneza1147]

and a stellar band to play along! nice

[@janthefan2193]

[@kevster1340]

[@francysmargazcon8228]

Esta canción es ARTE PURO ❤

[@anamariaorlando2341]

Genio y figura!!!

[@TamaTimbo]

Juldeh Camara is the African playing the bowed-instrument. Search him on KZbin, he's also got an astonishing voice

[@jozygil]

On his new album, Lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar, Plant gives the song another shot - with a new band. Plant's group is an eclectic bunch, ranging from a West African fiddle player to a British keyboardist known for heavy electronic music. ♫ ★

[@SaturdayProjects]

So good 😊

[@cuntrydude1]

Legend in time

[@sztywny1976]

Capo Robert!

[@leemiller287]

Best of the best

[@hogwashmcturnip8291]

The guy is like a fine wine, he just gets better with age! love this even though the vocal line sounds like Chi Mí´n Geamreadh, assume there is a link somewhere back in history. this arrangement is amazing. Chuck it all in, its like WOMAD meeets Celtic Connections Brilliant And they are so loving it! When the band is happy so is the audience. You go guys! Have always loved Mr Plant, even though he nearly drove me into a ditch one day! He´s a better singer than he is driver! Lol! told my mate and he said, "He did that to me too, on exactly the same bend!" haha! Go round a bend in a secluded country lane and there is this wild haired rock legend coming at you head on!| Still "I was killed by Robert Plant " would be a claim to fame of sorts!

[@davideannunziata2557]

Immenso Robert
