I love hearing your concert experiences! Thanks for sharing!

Page and Plant used to record in a small studio above the fishing village of Salcombe in the UK. You could occasionally see Robert Plant in one of the local pubs if you were down there on holiday. I used to go there with my family and caught sight of him once. You can actually rent the studio they used as a holiday home now, pretty cool place to stay.

[@tarynclark8011]

do you know the name of the studio/holiday home now

[@Frank15672]

JD McPherson is a very underrated and entertaining band. Here some songs recommendations : head over heels, let the good times roll, north side gal, bossy

[@jmill3147]

His opening set the other night was awesome!

[@MossTheBoss]

"The only way I'm coming home tonight is on bail" 🤣

[@brown22sugar25]

I went to the show the following Friday in Toledo, OH and it was worth just to see Plant in person but I enjoyed the music.

[@Souldoubtrocks]

Allison Krause has an angelic voice.

[@matcoffidis1135]

She has a lovely voice. I heard her do Carolina In My Mind at an event honoring James Taylor. Her playing and singing is exquisite...❤

[@pauldudeuk]

He played with saving grace a few months back at our venue, similar set up, whilst setting up he bursts into our crew kitchen saying "I was here 50 years ago with a Preston (town) band, but I don't remember it, I just want to know how much damage we did?" we looked through the archives but couldn't find anything so we surmised it was when they were the new yardbirds, he was a lovely bloke and very polite, what a dude! the gig was great too!

[@jameswattts7241]

I was at the first show of this tour, in Tulsa OK at the Cain's Ballroom - - great show. Was standing room, got three layers from the stage. He seems to be struggling a bit physically, but the vocal chords still work fine. This may be Plant's last time out; he's got to be 75 years old. Got video, with surprisingly good audio. Wonderful show. I'm a massive Zep fan.

[@skintslots]

The Price of Love is an old Everly Brothers song done at a faster tempo by the Everlys. It's a great song.

[@jboughtin7522]

I still have that post-pandemic glow of gratitude that live music concert venues are back up and running. My only criticism would be ticket prices. Tool came to city near me this past summer. Tickets were as high as $1600.00 and there were a lot that weren't to much below that.

[@joshmartin1938]

Seen him/her together several times. Great review/very informing. May try to see him in Aug. Thank you.

[@paulkobler8049]

Saw them in Toledo, OH. The show was fantastic!

[@meljohnson5579]

I love these concert reviews 😊

[@outernationalstudios]

I saw them last year in Birmingham Alabama - that was an amazing show- Plant with Allison is sooooo good

[@robbiegarnz7732]

Sounds like an awesome show! And hey you got your steps in so it was a productive experience.. lol!

[@thomasrohr3130]

Was at the mystic concert, that violin solo was magical!!

[@54Dewar]

Funnily enough I was at a Black Crowes gig in London this month and i used the same term. Someone was approaching in the crowd, I turned to my girlfriend and said " Jimmy fckn Page! It's Jimmy fckn Page! " Must be a zep thing. He Walked right past me with Steven Tyler in tow.

[@HannahCope88]

A friend of mine was at that same gig, he sent me a pic of the 2 of them stood at the back .

[@54Dewar]

Bit of a bucket list moment 😊​@@HannahCope88

[@asw7696]

I was there too. I think most people were expecting Jimmy Page to join them for a song as he was at the side of the stage for most of the evening. Seeing Steven Tyler sing with them was fun though, especially when Chris Robinson hit Steven Tyler in the head with the microphone at the end!

[@54Dewar]

Yes I was hoping for a page/Crowes reunion 😊

[@HannahCope88]

Yess! Been looking forward to this one 🙂. T shirt looks great. I do the same if I'm not familiar with the music I'll listen to a bunch before hand, it's always good when you recognize at least one song, you kinda feel like you belong there just a little bit more. Lucky that guy was so wasted he didn't react and start throwing punches🤘🏻🔥 So cool they played Gallows Pole and Battle of Nevermore. I would've been in heaven as well if I got to see Robert live, hopefully it'll happen one day. I would've got goosebumps if I heard When the Levee breaks :-)

[@reneessurf]

Cool, always kinda wanted to go to one of their concerts.

[@emiliog.4432]

I only saw Plant with Led Zeppelin in 1974 @MSG so I can’t really compare him too much to what he’s doing now.

[@Lance37a]

Plant is doing what he loves and still sounds great. He's not just relying on nostalgia like some older acts

[@badbeatbilly8997]

I will be going to the August 31 show in Colorado Springs

[@RexBarca]

I enjoy your reviews

[@terrymeyer]

Saw Robert and Alison last summer warming up for Wille Nelson. They were so good!!!

[@veg9097]

Why would u leave early? It's one in a lifetime dude....

[@OutOnTheTiles]

Ya that baffled me too.

[@17nussbaumroad]

Never leave a concert early !

[@RockAndDoubleBassWithAaronJoy]

The stage lighting & curtain is great.

[@OutOnTheTiles]

I’ve seen Robert live as a solo artist 14 times. All the shows were in Toronto. I’ve seen him 4 times with Alison…unfortunately ,for some odd reason, they are not playing Toronto on this tour. Every time I’ve seen Robert live it’s been a great show. He’s an incredible singer and song writer. Cheers ✌️

[@DavidMadeira29]

Ehy, my tape keeps skipping, d'you know?! Namastè.

[@daniverson3321]

This just reminds me of the episode of Portlandia when they realized we’re of the age where we’re done with outdoor festivals and opt for a VR experience. 😂

[@Ruckshuk4101]

I was there, liked jd loved to see Robert plant. Only thing I didn’t like was the drummer. I have that same shirt! I was sitting the nearest to the sound tech area, don’t know how I didn’t see you😂😂 I would’ve LOVED to hear big log.

[@17nussbaumroad]

Saw the first show it was awesome !

[@bridgetm1343]

Love the green shirt staff at the very end!😂 Absolutely hoping for a Zeppelin reunion

[@17nussbaumroad]

Never going to happen .. i saw the 07 reunion ,the Live Aid reunion in 85 and Zeppelin in 77

[@growingfromscratch8517]

Gen admission only works if the act is still up and coming or if it's a niche genre like a blues fest. Hope you're planning a review of the upcoming Iron Maiden show this fall. When I saw them in St. Paul on the Souls tour, it was almost unbelievable how good they still sound. No backing tracks needed when it's Bruce singing.

[@poundshopadamjones9654]

I met Robert a few years ago and he was a really down to earth and friendly guy. He told me I could have a picture but "it'll cost you a 5er" 😂.

[@17nussbaumroad]

Lol .. I met hin in 85 and still owe him five ,he told me the same thing ..lol

[@AlpcanAras]

I think, purely personal opinion, if you told the dancing couple that they are not allowed to be there with a strict tone, you could've pulled off. But sometimes the security gets stricter towards the main set and you could've been kicked out that place anyways. It's a gamble.

[@lt_johnmcclane]

I thought if any audience would just sit there and enjoy the concert it’d be an audience full of people over 50 but nope they’re all just holding up their phones

[@jmill3147]

So yeah, as an update, went to the show on 6/19 at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Virginia. AMAZING show! And venue. So don't know how to compare to other venues but at Wolf Trap they had $5 tickets right up to showtime to sit on the lawn. I didn't know how that worked when I first commented last week but the view was not good at all from those sections. And they were full. Thankfully I had already upgraded to $25 tickets to sit a little higher up. The place was slammed but the lines at food/bathroom/entrance moved fast..and we did have canned Jack and Coke for the small price of $14...it was freaking good though! Mid 90's temp but a good breeze through the ampitheater. JD McPhersons' set was awesome. I think for me the "Price of Love" and "High and Lonesome" were my two favorite songs to hear them perform. The droning of Where the Levee Breaks sent chills up my spine. All in all, THANK YOU, for bringing my attention to this duo. I knew about them but never considered seeing them live, thankful this was my sons first live show. Would highly recommend.

[@leemcintyre3943]

That's a cool looking shirt!

Still can’t get over one of the first gigs I went to see was Robert Plant and Texas was the support band.

[@MotownGuitarJoe]

Maybe this will help: gambling is a tax on people that never took "Probability and Statistics" 😂

[@rudebuddha4895]

I can't go to high dollar a concert (anymore) just to watch it on a big screen TV. I'll stick to up and coming or great acts that tour via small clubs. With KZbin and the internet, they're out there touring more than ever before. But I get the "see a legend" bucket list appeal.

[@GregM-ws4hq]

Robert and Alison sound great together.

[@user-xq1uj4cu1c]

I don't understand. Why can't you shout and have fun? Is it supposed to be the opposite of a metal concert?

[@MarkTurner-vs7uc]

I saw them at the Cains on the first date. Sold out. I somehow wound up front row center. They were good. Allison didn't get enough material. Plant sounded great. My wife likes this stuff, she thought it was ok, I liked it better than she did!

[@Viper-dz2kw]

The jump from getting to see Jeff Buckley live to Robert plant is crazy

[@thundernels]

Alison Krauss has more than her share of cache too. I mean, she wasn’t in Zeppelin, but she is a legend across genres. She can hang with anyone. They have two duet albums. Fairly easy to prep.

[@gulfgal98]

Alison Krauss is one of the top all time winners of Grammys with 27 overall. I believe Robert Plant was the one who initially approached her about doing an album together and then it blossomed into the pairing of two of the best musicians/voices of all time.

[@jeremysteffen7853]

[@marcreno893]

You saw the Beasties is 94’ ? You look like your 19 years old

[@jamesdean9183]

I’m gonna see them with the Outlaw Music Festival. Honestly I’m only going to say I’ve seen Robert Plant with my own eyes. I don’t really care much for Allison Krauss or their collaborations, but seeing the frontman of Led Zeppelin alongside Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson is well worth the cheap ticket and short drive. Sure I’d rather hear the Zeppelin songs but I’ll settle for whatever I’m given

[@johnmcharst412]

I think you meant to say: "three song medley" (not melody).

[@michaelhotz7118]

[@jmill3147]

This inspired me to get tickets to the Robert Plant & Alison Krauss show in Vienna, Va coming up next Wednesday. 5 dollar tickets! My son is just now getting into Led Zeppelin so figured I'd take him to see the legend himself. My only regret is he did not get to see Mark Lanegan live.

[@TheArtofGuitar]

5dollars???

[@jmill3147]

As of right now at least lol

[@roseannecohen]

How on earth are there $5.00 tickets for this show in Vienna, VA? I just saw them in Pittsburgh, PA last night. I bought the tickets pre-sale in February for $56.00 (including fees). It was a great show by the way. Their final song was the new arrangement of When the Levee Breaks. The fiddle player was on fire!

[@jmill3147]

@@roseannecohen Did you see them on stubhub? I was absolutely floored that they had $5 tickets for the Wednesday show. How can one pass an offer up like that?

[@jmill3147]

@@roseannecohen It may be because they're doing shows two nights in a row at Wolf Trap? I'm not sure honestly.

[@philm.6113]

Plant envied Elvis. Elvis sang whatever he wanted to sing and excelled at it. Plant was committed to being the hard rock/rock stereotype. Plant has been singing Bluegrass/Country probably longer than he was in LZ. Again, Plant trying to be Elvis. God Bless both of them. Great Videos!! I've watched dozens of them. Very interesting stuff.

[@jamesdean9183]

Yeah at a concert in Iowa the other day Plant wore the exact same black and pink shirt Elvis wore on the Milton Berle show. I assume he bought the shirt from Lanky Bros in Memphis, the same clothier Elvis shopped at. I actually got to meet Hal Lansky, and a photo of him with Robert Plant is in the store, apparently Robert Plant shops there often.

[@JohnGuffey-ho3xc]

I hate to be “that guy”, but you used the word “melody” when you meant to say “medley”, As in a piece of music compiled from shorter snippets of other songs. Anyway, keep up the good work. I enjoy your channel.👍

[@muleblues71]

There is canned jack cokes 😂 you need to check out this new guitar shop in osseo/brooklyn park." The shred den" it's called.

[@CorbCorbin]

They were really telling people to sit down, in the General Admission section, of an outdoor show? Lawn chairs seems like a cheat, especially when one or two people are guarding a two person family’s worth of them. The first three Lollapalooza’s, had no seats. Not for the crowd. Atlanta used to have a great outdoor venue, with seating near what would be the Orchestra Pit, and surrounding area, for a different show, with general admission the rest of the place. The grass field was big enough, that one could walk back to where people are all 15-20 feet apart, and the sound was still good. I’ve had venue folks, let me sit right on the stage, only to be ruined by some jealous jerk, complaining about it.

[@quinnsz06]

Ha. That was a great story of dealing with annoying fans and circumventing event staff. You really don't think about that stuff until you're at a show and everyone is jockeying for the best seat in the house .

[@whothefoxcares]

Please form an AllStarHippyBand, with survivors of the Sixties, hit the road and teach everyone how to make LSD

[@spazmodicusrex6629]

I'm willing to bet the "rowdy girl" and her boyfriend were part of the security staff. They spot people too close to the vital areas (or trouble in the crowd) and "get wild" for a moment or two to call the heavies over to usher you along. It doesn't disrupt the show for more than a minute or two and nobody thinks twice about it in the long run of the night.

[@RockAndDoubleBassWithAaronJoy]

Americana bluegrass country for JD? He's promoted as a rockabilly band. But, I didn't know him, was told by a friend with me he's one of the best "folk" musicians in America .... I disagree. But, I think his sound does not land with folks. My gf and I were bored.

[@RockAndDoubleBassWithAaronJoy]

I saw this tour last year. Meh. It was Plant! Awesome. Amazing. He sounds great! But, the audience was bored. First, JD bored the audience. Nobody was interested. The bass was just a mush of sound, so it had no groove. I blame the sound desk. Only his take on Iggy Pop made the audience rock, but it went long. The drummer was great, who used to play with Rev Horton Heat. As for Plant. His re-invention of his sound was interesting, but the audience often didn't respond to songs. They'd start playing, it would go on for a minute, then a line would be sung and the audience would scream. In The Mood was like this, many Zep songs were like this. I wrote a book about Zep, I've heard it all, solo and Zep, and I didn't recognize songs. They were interpreted a bit too far off, and the audience didn't recognize the songs. The only thing I remember is When The Levee Breaks, which was an extended version with violin and mandolin, and really cool. It was nice to see him, but I wouldn't see him again. it was an outdoor show like yours and we were 30 feet from the stage for JD and then stepped back a 100 yards for Plant as a friend with me had to come and go.

[@CorbCorbin]

No, he meant Jeff. He was Tim’s son. Died in a drowning accident, in the 90’s, just after his real major label debut was released. If he’d lived, he’d have likely been one of the top artists into the 2000’s, as a songwriter, singer and a very unique guitarist. Check out Jeff Buckley in Germany. What Would you Say, is my favorite, but he has many great songs in that show. It’s at a small club, snd it’s a television broadcast.

[@wolfbrother2474]

Why so? Surely this guy wasn't born when Tim Buckley was alive?
