Robert Plant on Jonesy's Jukebox

[@vantheman1238]

Played rugby against Robert Plant in 1985!!! Plant lived near to Monmouth and sometimes turned out for his pub team. We were from Abergavenny. It was a Sunday morning. Pub rugby, everyone was pissed. Everyone was saying “that’s Robert Plant!!!” Fuck me. I was 16 and spoke to him afterwards. We all did. He looked good. Tight leather jeans and cool shirt. Thin, but he got stuck in. We tackled him, but he didn’t care. Loads of respect for him. Legend

[@mickc2339]

[@iraq.sometimessunnisometim1981]

Yes. He lived at The Argoed near Monmouth for a few years and recorded solo albums at Rockfield Studios.

[@LyndaWhite-ju1gj]

I don’t think any other person on earth has giving me so much joy and happiness than this man Robert Plant. I had the great honor and privilege to see Led Zeppelin in 71,72,73,and final time 3/5/1975 in Dallas still have my ticket stubs and they are my prized possession.

[@parrisgjerde9212]

Lynda White the guy is so fun to listen to. Robert plant is so eloquent - what an intellectual!

[@LyndaWhite-ju1gj]

Parris Gjerde Yes and quiet the diplomat as well, if you listen to audio of some of those 70’s Led Zeppelin concerts with everything from fireworks to fights Robert would always find a way to Handel the situation.

[@jacquelinea.graham2173]

My goodness are you lucky. I'm so envious. No man in the world could hold a candle to Robert in the 70s. Just beyond gorgeous. The hair. The face. The chest. The jeans. Good Lord what a man.

[@LyndaWhite-ju1gj]

Jacqueline A. Graham Yes, the whole band had charisma beyond belief Robert Jimmy JPJ and of course The Hammer of The Gods John Bonham I never see anything like it but so thankful Robert Plant is still here and still the best. Oh PS if you want to get a little taste of what it was like to be there live my final show (audio only) is on KZbin 3/5/1975. Dallas Tx. Good luck Best Wishes.

[@mickc2339]

Me too, saw led zep at trentham gardens, stoke on Trent, early 70s. also saw the who there, roger daltry came to the queue and spoke to us, then i met Keith moon in the toilets and had a brief conversation with him while standing next to him at the urinal !

His speaking voice is just as nice as his singing voice. I could listen to it for hours.

I once heard Robert talking about Wolves and suddenly he stopped being a rock superstar. He was like any other fan, reeling off the players names and providing a critique on their latest performance. A real legend.

Robert Plant is a class act, old school gentleman who’s singing voice was the best to ever come out of the uk. A living legend.

[@RowenMyBoat]

I’d spread that region way further. There were a handful of exceptionally good rock n roll singers “in the WORLD”. It’s hard to argue his wasn’t “the best” in the business.

Like Plants improvising, he was always good, at that scat style, + the Elvis in him, comes out a lot, when he swings, out them low tones, Robert is one of the best, cover song singers ever.

[@richardrybinski2320]

I have all of Zep's albums but, the two shows that I saw in 1977 were close to the worse shows that I have ever seen. I will admit, that Jimmy Page sure could make a record sound great (no big secret, but the first Zep record is still extraordinary sounding 50 years later.)...Chris Thomas's production of the Pistols album is also stellar.

Robert has spent the last 50 years bullshitting everyone, but he gets away because of his intelligence. He knows EXACTLY how to play the game! He is the same if you have a eer with him. I have had quite a few with him in Camden, London.

You could tell Robert's having a great time and totally unfiltered, he could have gotten all the sordid Zeppelin stories out of him if he wanted to. (Pamela DesBarres has been friends with Jonesy and Plant for decades now). But if you hear the Howard Stern interview, he starts bristling and clamming up. Not sure how Jonesy felt about Plant being a bigger Damned fan over Pistols, but it's all about the music and energy that is rock & roll, and they end off doing a Dion cover (who is still performing and putting new music out).
