Eye To Eye: Plant, Krauss Duet

[notavailableisnotava]

Dude robert plant is so fucking awesome for a guy that was in one of the greatest bands of all time he seems so egoless. i hope i get to meet him one day.

[mediterraneanqueen]

Before each member was born, God had a plan. As He was planning the birth of each, He had the other one in mind so Led Zeppelin could one day form. And fortunately we all were blessed to live in the time that would happen.

[brad30097]

Katie is an idiot...Robert Plant is awesome and so is Alison...this was one of the worst interviews ever...

[drdan442]

He`s so smashin that......LOL

[ariya13]

katie, do some research! " did u listen to a million songs?" yes idiot we are artists i have listened to a billion songs u nutter woman. And we can be 24 years apart and sing together and have things in common.... IMAGINE!!

[purplehaze5562]

I would truly be Honored to interview Robert Plant And Alison Krause, as well; God Bless them both!!!!

[TakeYourStinkingPaws]

I am in LOVE. I had no idea Alison Krauss was so magnetic. I knew she was beautiful, but WOW. If I only had looks, talent and money...............and was single. ;) lol.

[led1071]

Good album with Allison in 08.

Howard Russell 3

[pepsiplayful]

i didnt know they were touring....

[stingray1964]

What a STUPID interview.....Katie Couric is such a IDIOT. You can tell Allison is pretty disgusted by her...wasted interview.

[HammerHeadsk8r]

Kouric "Were you in a band in 1971?" ......no he was playing striker for Manchester United.....

[D28forever]

and again, Alison at 3:24 "what? how the hell am I supposed to answer that?"

[D28forever]

Alison @ 1:15-1:20 her face says "well no shit, we couldn't have hung out, I was a baby...duh..stupid couric..." lol.

[lanny21ful]

Alison is not a very pretty woman but she has a beautiful voice.

[brother234]

@lanny21ful oh how wrong you are.

[lanny21ful]

@brother234 well i guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

[TakeYourStinkingPaws]

@lanny21ful ....... What a wonderful thing you have said. :) You have proved that there truly is someone for everyone.  I think she is unbelievably beautiful. Isn't it amazing that we each see a different woman? :)

[JediJoker7169]

LOL @7:19

[semiLivedj]

Hahahaha,Alison:They had no pants Ahhh,What do you expect when your in the company of a GOD! Robert says,They come up on stage with us,and leaves it at that,Alison goes,they had no pants,EEEK,Hahahaha,Robert is so cool! If she had any brains,she would be nibbling his nuggets every night!

[brother234]

@semiLivedj you really don't understand what is going on before you , i believe. I see that she has brought tremendous calm to a man who seems to find himself again, musically speaking, after having been with her and T Bone too i should mention.

[PopCultureSucks]

If Robert Plant is impressed by your voice, you'll do alright!

[eatnosenuggets]

Alison's face hardly moves when she talks. Eerie.

[miragemammaries]

Alison is a class act, as is Robert Plant, yet I found myself wishing that they would both just say screw it, and Plant would hold down Katie as Alison beat her about the head and neck with a rubber fiddle (can't harm that beautiful violin she plays after all) .

[Finn267xt]

Really interesting interview. I never saw it before. The discomfort felt by all goes without saying. Allison Krauss was the least uncomfortable.

And seeing Robert Plant so close up and personal adds another off-setting aspect to this interview too.

I remember him and Page, and the rest of Led Zeppelin from when I was a teenager mostly.

The music was all that mattered. They were pics on an album. In a magazine. In a concert movie. But never really seen too often up close and personal

[SilverQueen]

...All I can do during this interview is stare at the chain leading down into Alison's cleavage. I'm a straight woman but she is so my exception.

[jomieorbino]

What a dumb bitch shes talking to the greatest vocalist on this planet and all she can think about is what were you doing i am sorry but that was just stupid

[AllenChanThree]

Robert is no dummy, but his innocent act, saying I don’t know, keeps the interview from being a boring ping pong conversation. Shy little Allison may be smarter that both of them. When Katie left the OTHER place, she was burnt out, they raped the golden girl and it showed. I love to be intertained by Katie being little ol miss down to earth and her insightful conversations. I heard exactly what I wanted to hear about the pair singing together.

[AllenChanThree]

Think what you will about Katie… the kid has some smarts. She knows the “lame” questions are the opportunity for Robert or Allison to stand in contrast to the quality of the question. Katie’s job is to make them look good. I enjoy Katie’s innocent act. To start with, she opens with what are the differences between Robert and Allison. She makes the contrast greatest by starting with age. She makes the age difference [and all the other stuff] greatest by starting with 1971.

[Indigogo06]

Katie wants some deep hidden meaning...Robert just wants to make music and have fun... explore new avanues without having to explain himself.

[bozirezai]

Cant you people say someting nice about anybody!! If you look for shit you'll find it! Just dont..

[MyBlackbart]

If you people had a clue what Katie Couric went through with the horrible death of her young husband you just might cut her some slack.

[timothys2829]

haha, Couric is an idiot

[Jessegrr420]

Katie Couric is an idiot she asks the lamest questions. Doesnt she know shes not talking to another "artist" of the now adays shes talking to a hippie icon and alison krause. Come on KAtie Buck up.

[ryssevik]

23 year, born 1948.....................

[irchristo]

does anyone here know what couric is asking?

the interview for this cool pairing is wasted by couric

[PAULOcbi]

@irchristo still its fun listening to them tip-toe around the fact that Krause took Plant out to improve her ticket sales on the road.

[rtanner77]

@PAULOcbi If you knew anything about Alison Krauss you would know that she needs no one to "improve her ticket sales." What an uninformed comment.

[PAULOcbi]

@rtanner77 have a coffee pal,its a big difference selling 3000-3500 seats for 1 night and selling 5000 seats and selling out the auditorium 2 nights in a row,and thats what RobertPlant brings to your tour,,, you should get out more.

[dandres73]

alison looks kind of unconfortable...like she doesnt want to be there

[irchristo]

@dandres73 haha yes she does. I think she either slept with Plant or he hit on her and now she's like ewwwwww! sorry she did it or grossed out because he hit on her. hahaha!

[ace1sod]

is it just me or does alison look stoned,,,damn she looks more beautiful every time i see her,,,what an amazing woman

[fumetti]

Alison Kraus is in her mid 30s? She looks 10 years younger. Hotness!

[kandy1958]

@nikrok1 No, you're right, she's a boob.

[fredzepp1]

These are two enormously gifted musicians. Krause is a one of a kind prodigy and Plant was in a band with three other revolutionary virtuosos still considered by at least half the planet to be the greatest rock band of all time, Led Zeppelin. What a pairing.

[henrylford]

robert plant didnt win any grammies till he was with allison

[ParkerGiesbrecht]

@henrylford But he didnt Sing, Write or perform as good as he did when he was with zeppelin. Who cares what the grammy academy thinks?

[walterbrob]

@henrylford tells you what a joke the grammys are now doesnt it?

[ShareTheSphere]

can that interviewer stop smiling from ear to ear ?

[hempartist420]

@ShareTheSphere better than me, I would be peeing myself if I was in the presence of plant and krauss

[sexxxxgodesss22hot]

Katy, what the hell were you thinking? What were you listening to the partridge family,or He Haw? I'd give anything to have the chance to have an interview with Robert. WERE they having sex,or intimate during the gig. You dumb ass. How have you made t this long in broadcasting,...Daddy had some money?

[vollyball247]

alison is soo cute lol!!! i would climb on stage with no pants on either if i saw her!!lol

[queens2philly15]

what were you doing in 1971? why would you ask anyone that all the answers would be the same.

[Epica124]

@queens2philly15 Let's not even bring up the fact that Led Zeppelin started in 1968 not 1971.

[ellencroteau]

i love alison, but does she not look like she is on sedatives? why?

[banjohombre]

Robert is such a nice guy! None of the arrogance that one might expect from someone with has background. The album is a gem. Songs that I didn't like at first, grew on me later. Great guitar and drum work indeed. And Alison, congrats on Grammy #27.

[toadabc]

Fuckin brillant Katie. No wonder you get pait the millions. You are so damn cute, I could just puke.

[ntrnate]

katie currik is jelous of the younger hoe

[ramman82]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! ROFL!! Dijone9 that is freakin hilarious!

[Revolutionl968]

LOL ! Thank you sooo much for that!!!

I needed a laugh today.

that sounds exatly like something my grandad would've said!!!

thanks for that! XD

[bobdwilliams]

go one dljone9 hahahahahahhaa!

[fuzzdemon]

I think the interviewer thought they were a married couple that have just entered the music industry lol

[center2cents]

Well put, fuzzdemon.

[rodentcafeteria]

I doubt Katie Couric even knows who Etta James is. And I get the impression that before this interview, she had no idea who Plant and Krauss were, either.

[DarthKrattus]

@rodentcafeteria notice how it says he's "notorious".

[deathtouch100]

the ego in Zeppelin belonged to page though he is one of the greats. Plants vocals are second to none, he could easily overpower Alison if the Zep Plant came out, he is subdued with her, but still this is a odd duet that nobody could have expected.

[Hypocatastasis]

kc: who do you think are the people who are coming to see the shows?

rp: i really haven't got a clue, do you know?

ak: they're rather friendly.

rp: they're very friendly, they climb on the stage.

ak: with no pants on.

rp: that wasn't me that was....them.

ak: it was a little weird that time...

[wRyanovation]

Couric is such a twit. She has absolutely no clue. She is clearly envious of the sheer beauty and pure, unadulterated talent that can only belong to Alison.

[brokenarrow777]

Couric's a pinhead.

[krang07]

hilarious ending....join yes or something

its a voyage mam.....it is.....

watch out we`ll get struck by lightning

lol

[mysacredhonor]

KC is not too bright now is she?

[kandy1958]

Actually, Katie is a fool all on her own. She's far more an actress than a journalist.

[HaganeNoDan]

I was desperately waiting for one of them to actually mention Gene Clark by name when discussing the music. (sigh)

[sharonbng]

They're phenonmenal together!

[lastofthemohicans1]

Robert makes Katie look like a fool

[dan99monty]

honest to god, this is why NOBODY likes katie couric. what a hipocrit. she's blasting Robert Plant for dating a younger female, when she's apparently doing the boy-toy thing. she is such a jerk. she is not worthy of interviewing Robert Plant, a legend whose music we are blessed to have on this earth. screw you katie couric.

[UberNoobtard]

Hold on now, don't be too quick to assume that they are dating. Watch the BBC interview of them. Alison mentions her baby, so I doubt that they would be dating already, or at all.

[slav777sacrament]

"her baby" is her 7 yr old son, Sam. She only has 1 child, so it's not entirely impossible. although i don't think they';re together...a hookup? maybe, but not dating.

[ItsCabs]

If you happened to see them on tour, Alison introduced the band, including her "all-time favorite guitarist", her husband. Being close and having a friendship doesn't mean there is an affair going on. Though they may look and act like lovers, I think its more to do with the thrill of making something new and magical.

[55dnick]

What?...fyi...The "all time favorite guitarist" you are referring to is Stuart Duncan and she calls him her "all time favorite musician" They are not married. Alison is divorced from Pat Bergeson.

[whisperinwindcried67]

@UberNoobtard ..cmon uber'tard do you really think any real woman in civilization would not "oblige" mr.plant?.married,kids,boyfrie­nd,girlfriend..i dont think it would matter..Robert would have them if he chose to, with very little trouble I would think-ya gotta hand it to the man..good looking,charming,incredibly talented,revered the world over,filthy rich,intelligent,positive and humorous..he had her at "hello"!!..cmon this is freakin' Robert Plant.

[rg72rp]

i think it's even worse . the problem was'nt about dating but about working together with a different background different tastes and very different age. it's robert who jokes about the age just to make some wit. like he says in music art or taste the word unlike/u nlikly doesn't exist cause art is something new and often strange. this katie writes personally the question? cause they re not goog lol !

[fiomily225]

@dan99monty Right on!!

[ironlion37]

Allison is so graceful.

[olafbigandglad]

and know we know why all the best newscasters and interviewers on american t.v. are canadian.

[roadmilker]

please

[olafbigandglad]

um... thank you? you're welcome? no problem.

[landofmetalgods]

courics a retard,why isnt her 15 mins up yet? what kind of question was that to start an interview with...what a bitch

[khuddle]

You think Couric has ever listened to Zeppelin? "What the hell is that racket? TURN IT DOWN!"

[kdb89]

come on, guys. Katie's great.

But Alison. GREATNESS.

BEST voice ever to grace Bluegrass...

[Zimra88]

couric is a joke..she's not worthy to interview them...

[billiemook]

Plant is way too cool to be interviewed by this hag Katie couric

[slav777sacrament]

omg, katie couric is a doob! that is horrible! Qwhat a moron, but they handled it well. those poor ppl...she's so dumb.

love krauss/plant as a duo tho. :D

[remamamama]

I don't understand why Alison Krauss has so many Grammys. I'm sure her music is extremely influential, but is it really that great as to earn her the most Grammys?

[Zimra88]

yes.. it is..

[alyssaloo]

I've never seen that interviewer before but, man... she'sanidiot! LMAO! I love Robert and Alison they are amazing and I canny wait for their follow up album! :)

[Dreadmore]

loo, couric: is one dumb bitch

[sanfred2]

kouric: let me start this off, robert, in 1971 what were you doing?

plant:WHAT???????????

me: hahahahahahahahahahahaha what an idiot that kouric is

[dildoid189]

this interviewer should look for a new job.

[bendutta2008]

Katie Couric is horrible at interviews. "Even in your deepest darkest moments".

AHHHHHH I want to choke her.

[JohnCena2011]

Was she referring to their drummer as "one of the best in the world"?

[olafbigandglad]

jay bellerose is FANTASTIC. i saw him play drums with sam phillips and he was so entertaining. check him out.

[MaulDicker]

The dolled-up Krauss is awkward

[multivox]

I think Krauss has been training with some kind of speech coach. When she first started winning awards, fans were shocked to hear that the same woman who sounds like an angel when she sings talks like a cross between Kermit the Frog and Dudley Doo-Right. When I heard her speak on the Grammies last night, I was quite suprised. She seems like she's trying very hard to make her voice sound more feminine when she talks.

[Nachrichten69]

Do you think Plant pollenated Krauss?

[jwax5150]

sages XDDDDDDDDDD i love plant and page they were such little kids back in the day.

[KNT0791]

relax, if you know her well enough, you should know she will never sell out. If she wanted to she would have by now. I think she is easily the most gifted musician alive now, and she will never stray from her roots, I wouldn't worry.

[Hazafi4life]

hahahahah!....F'n loon.............BTW..your friends in the 'white coats' are here to take you to your appt with the doctor.

hahahahahha!

[lordroblord]

Are you serious? She was born and raised in Illinois which is the Land of Lincoln, not mountains. She has won 26 Grammies, you should be proud she has accomplished so much and has not sold out. Now if you'll excuse me I have a drunken orgy at my crack dealer's place to go to.

[CountryRoadTrip]

Alison did a lot of drooling in 1971, but I'm drooling here now looking at her.

[psychobollox]

after me, man!

she's fuckin' gorgeous, isn't she?!

[UberNoobtard]

yes

[ran123br]

ohhh Robert , call to jimmy and jones , and play great rock ones.

Hey Robert , do you like brunettes? correct?

[kingluella10]

i guess i could say that plant has good taste in other people's music, i totally agree with him about krauss talent

[wjv4me]

Good upload-thanks for posting it. Robert, get back with Zep-and tour the USA!

[fishboy91]

Axl Rose? - uh, what? Axl Rose was just a minor blip on the musical radar screen.

[kingluella10]

Son una bola de pendejos los fanaticos de ese pendejo viejio.

[Pimblit]

I've seens bunches of Robert Plant's interviews. He is so gracious, he has a very sweet attitude, although he gets cheeky when they ask him stupid questions. But have you ever wished that he would just reach over and slap the interviewer right across the face? Robert, if you ever read this, TELL THEM TO FUCK OFF WITH THE ZEPPELIN REFERENCES. YOU ARE NOT LED ZEPPELIN, YOU ARE ROBERT PLANT :D:D:D I love ya Robert.

[maddermofo]

Two of the most beautiful people in music

[judithcompton6]

Wondering when this interview was recorded. Does anyone know?

[zoso1978]

Katie is a weak interviewer, what kind of questions are these! Same ol shite, I can tell they are frustrated with empty questions, Robert give some good interviews; this is a weak one that sounds

[Fernaleaha]

Weak? You are too polite. A huge yawn here watching this interview. Katie is such a lazy media interviewer now days. This could have been an opportunity to ask several new questions for these two to answer. I believe doing the work to get an interesting sit down with two greats was beyond her interviewing capabilities.

[stringsrichie]

i wonder if plant tagged that yet??? he should change his name to Lucky Bastard...

[ericjungleboy]

Well, he calls her "honey" and "baby". At around 7:00, he says "Honey, you're right" to her.

[LedZepCem]

Cem Akkılıç Led Zeppelin ''search the google''

Robert Plant Antalya Turkey

The love remains the same in Antalya concert video.

[ariya13]

I saw them twice this summer....magical nights. my ten yr old son wore a led t shirt and my 14 yr old daughter yelled impromtu "i love you robert plant" the spirit moved her...lol

[Priole2000]

Haha, aww that's awesome. I love that the young ones till love his music. May he live to be a 1000 years old.

[jesusakuschick]

this is awesome.

[poussyledzep]

I thi_nk Robert became completely crazy he's emitating John LENNON with Yoko!!i say no to one of the greatest band ever maybe after the Beatles!!John was verty intelligent Robert he proved it with Imagine,but you what have you created?return with Jimmy

[kingluella10]

What are you talking about?! Led Zeppelin hasn't been a group in years!!! There is no Lennon & Yoko comparison here...Led Zeppelin is dead. If anyone is going to be Yoko its Robert Plant trying to break up Alison Krauss & Union Station. Robert Plant is a loser clinging to Alison Krauss who is his only hope for a graceful end to his prolonged music career...He hasnt produced anything good in years until this album and truthfully Raising Sand couldve done without him.

[maddermofo]

The word 'loser' is a little harsh for a man who fronted one of the biggest bands on the planet

[iwantwatermellon]

Well I know the only reason I am even watching this is for Robert Plant! I love Led Zeppeli, as do so many others, so shut up.

[kingluella10]

Robert Plant is old news. I don't understand the hardcore Zeppelin fans Robert Plant was a good singer for his time but Axl Rose clearly dethrowned him, as for Alison Krauss she is in her prime. She is unequaled in her talent.The fact that you know about her speaks volumes, her fans come to her she doesn't sell herself the way a Led Reunion obviously would. Since it was Plant who approached her and not the other way around, its clear he recognizes her greatness.

[dlawrick]

Great analysis. I'm not so sure about your Axl reference though.

[Sointula2]

It's about creating something - not stature. Nor is it competitive (Axl vs Robert etc) until you give it your own perspective. A bunch of highly unlikely ingredients and out comes this very enjoyable music. It's like snowflakes man.

[abrahamlincoln0900]

axl rose??? stop,son .just stop.

[iwantwatermellon]

Great music can never be old news. I can't say I agree with you about Axl Rose. Yes, Allison Krauss is good at what she does, but how can Robert be old news if people are attracted to an interview on youtube because of him? This is an interesting collaboration, but diss Zeppelin, and I'll kick your ass.

[kingluella10]

like i said plant was an ok artist for his time but not the best, his songwriting skills alone are atrocious, i mean the guy sings about LOTR. axl rose sounds authentic not to mention the voice and emotion in his songs, he is not imitating an accent or another artist. joplin, clapton, the allman brothers, and steve winwood are better artists from the same class plant comes from, i suggest listening to them instead.

[iwantwatermellon]

axl rose was in a hair band. a hair band more than a classic rock band. robert=beautiful songs and voice, axl rose=screechy. hes good, just not that good...at all compared to zeppelin. and yeah i do love all those bands you mentioned, except i havent heard much of steve winwood. The sun:birthday candle as led zeppelin:guns n' roses.

[da324]

I've met and spent time with Robert Plant; your comments are about absurd as they come. Sounds like you're jealous of him.

[ItsCabs]

I agree. Nice guy. Real regular. Not a self-absorbed superstar. Just a singer in a band. Glad to see him doing this, and all the interesting music he's done over the years. Always wish him well.

[SilverQueen]

...Someone please tell me I'm not the only one mesmerized by Alison's cleavage here.

[laurcholl]

We are so happy to see this interview I missed it when it was on STILL WAITING for any news of a future tour to include MIAMI!!

Bye Percy

[barbh1]

There's going to be another album coming, so there's bound to be another tour too. Do not miss it if you can help it.
