Robert Plant - Band of Joy - Memphis - July 2010

[Mr25paulinhoify]

Viva Robert Plant

[Prozacwierd]

I bet he went to Graceland.

This is a great song.

Love it

[iceaxe56]

i like robert plant--but i can't see these guys at merlefest

[Arrooh]

Reminds me of some 60's music. I enjoyed this.

[eyes4ears]

Had to check this out. Going to see him April 11 in Milwaukee. Should be great.

[Crust218]

Just saw Robert in Pittsburgh. It was an AMAZING SHOW!!! Thank you so much for coming to Pittsburgh, Robert!!! ;-)

[traintowns106]

1/18/2011... not sure; each concert we've seen (see other posts) have been different. Six musicians in band have received dozens of Grammies, and the Band of Joy Album was one of Rolling Stones top 10 of 2010; so if you can get to one of these terrific concerts, do it; but don't expect to see a Zeppelin show.

[thatguy1098]

@traintown106 so about wha percent is zeppelin? I just want to see robert sing before i dont have that chance anymore ya know?

[traintowns106]

@thatguy1098 see 1/18/2011 comment above

Hi.

This is a great montage!

I saw him in Calgary in the 1980's, it doesn't look like Robert has lost any of his jam.

Hearing an off-kilter bass line that still worked, and on a Stand Up too!

Sweet!

There isn't any video that is better than "seeing it live".

Thanx

Cheers from

Canada

I understand the need for creative exploration, but does Robert HAVE to change the arrangement on EVERY song? What is the purpose of this? Every Zepp song, every old solo song --they're ALL different and VERY slow songs --almost elevator music. He's losing alot of fans because of this.

[thieverycorp24]

I'm about to buy tickets to go see them..but i want to know if they play any led zeppelin songs at their show??

[traintowns106]

@thieverycorp24 Have been to the Band's opening night at the Orpheum in Memphis and their show-stopping performance in Nashville at the AMA's; both great, with rock, blues, their latest album, and some Zeppelin. But if you are going to hear Jimmy Page and Robert together again, you may be disappointed. Go to see and hear a great show.

[elviszeppelin]

I enjoy the "trippiness" of what he does these days. Just wish he'd get a better lead guitarist.....

[TheGiantNoodle]

Plant is a discoverer. New notes. New tones. New people. New music, New versions. He is a artist. MUCH more than I can say for artists his age. This guy is the real deal.

[TheArbiter74]

"We Bid You Goodnight" at the end! The Dead used to close out their shows in 69-70 with this traditional, hymn like number. Robert and his band are a class-act. Bravo and thanks for sharing this nice sampler of the show. Cheers.

[jeansbass]

It kind of bored me...the idea of singing theses classics in different keys is fine, he's 61...but the band sounds like any good bar band in my opinion....nothing special...

[steamtrain1978]

thought percy said he wasnt into loud music anymore.....he just cant sing to the standard needed by jimmy page id say...

[lcj1219]

i adore robert plant.

the world still revolves because Robert Plant is still gracing us with his beautiful presence.

:)

:)

[lcj1219]

i adore robert plant.he is the only person alive that i can think of that i would want meet!

[ledzepluvr42]

...Lol, on this letter I was sending to my friend I wrote "Please read the letter that I wrote"

She didn't get the joke.

[theachtungtree]

He didn't pretend to be the old rock star he used to be.Plant turned down million of dollars just to respect the memory of his former band.Most of ancient rock artists rather to be on the stage embarasing themselves and the audience with ridiculous performances of their old material like Ian Gillan and Ozzy,Robert is not like that., totally awesome and REAL dude

[asarapi]

great work on the video (considering you didn't use a quarter million dollars of equipment) LOL .... much thanks for posting this ;-)

[RockerForLife74]

HOW ABOUT GETTING BACK WITH JIMMY PAGE, JOHN PAUL JONES, AND JASON BONHAM FOR A LED ZEPPELIN WORLD TOUR!!!!

[theachtungtree]

@RockerForLife74 no...leave that shit to sabbath or the who....Zeppelin will not tour as a butched band just to grab some cash like others do

[RockerForLife74]

@theachtungtree I'm not saying they should do it for money. It would be great to have the best rock band in history to assemble for one last tour. The reunion gig wasn't enough because the event itself was so awesome that the world needs to hear Led Zeppelin one more time. One more lick of the finest rock that ever existed. It would be great because in my eyes them doing a tour would show what true rock and roll really is. Most of the shit I hear today sucks ass. Rock is dying, Zep is a revival.

[theachtungtree]

@RockerForLife74 oh..ok but you should know that Plant is always searching for new stuff, not that easy to convince him plus imo it doesn't feels right without john...it's like the stones without mick taylor, they really kinda suck right now without taylor's heavy heavy blues sound...the same case without bonzo, zep was fine on that reunion gig and no offense to jason but it felt kinda....stiffed without him

[traintowns106]

@theachtungtree Always appreciate comments, but just put the videos up for everyones enjoyment, hopefully. Back in '71 a couple of creative guys wrote "Yes, there are 2 paths you can go by; but in the long run...There's still time to change, The Road you're on." Robert continues to change and doing great new stuff. The two guys were Robert and Jimmy Page in a little ditty they called "Stairway to Heaven".

[RockerForLife74]

@theachtungtree That's understandable. I think the remaining members of Zep including Jason could in fact pull off a tour. I heard on 94.1 WHJY that Plant stated that he nothing in common with Led Zeppelin anymore. Plant, as you correctly stated, likes to venture into new styles and techniques. Personally, he's doing a fantastic job. Still rockin' out in his 60's alone doing what he's doing is amazing to say the least. It's what we can expect from a rock god afterall. I hope Page does something.

[theachtungtree]

@RockerForLife74 Im really pleased with robert's ventures nowadays....hes not going to stop and he does it gracefully and without exploiting zeppelin's legacy, just honoring zep's influenced and moving foward......jpj is doing a pretty decent job too, now, im dissapointed with jimmy cause he was such a genious back then....now he seems to be on a long vacation and seems kinda lost without zep, kinda sad really

[wadems]

Wish I was able to see this tour.  It doesn't come anywhere remotely near to me.

[Mr8bitgamer]

i wanna go to!!!!!!!!

[Venice2me]

This video doesn't do justice to concert. Much better in person. I was there.

[traintowns106]

@Venice2me I agree; can never replicate excitement of a live concert and being there; any suggestions on how to better capture this aside from a quarter million dollars worth of professional cameras and recording equipment which would be up to the production company is always appreciated. For the millions of fans that weren't there; tried to do the best I could, and can only recommend C/D out Sept. 14

[brendabender14]

go marco!!

[CandyT41]

Great video montage from a great show. I'm looking forward to see Robert Plant with The Band Of Joy in Manchester this year on October 31.

Thanks.

[rdhaynie]

i was at the mobile show. life changing experience

[karac833]

A truly amazing body of work that is still develop[ing.

[shaum11]

Just saw the Band of Joy last night in Mobile. He wove a lot of Roots, Americana, spiritual music into the show with some nuggets from Zepplin. Very competent band and vocals surrounding him. Great video but the sound quality doesnt come close to what you'll experience live. It was a great evening, see him if you can.

[traintowns106]

@shaum11 thanks, shaum... yep had a great sound system and lighting; I was just trying to hold minicam steady and not get nosebleed in the fifth row from the back of the theater in the balcony. Looking forward to album in September; only Plant could do a sold out tour without the c/d in hand.

[elmariachiterry]

i kindof like it. i really like how he has learned to sing with the voice he has now as opposed to trying to rehash stuff from 30 years ago. i'm talking to you steve tyler.

[paintstuff425]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

[PLACEBOgarbage]

EVERYBODY MISS THE ROBERT PLANT FROM THE 70´S

[traintowns106]

thanks, vaibanez17. There have been a lot of comments both positive and some not so much on this post. Artists throughout their lives hopefully move on to new endeavors; such is Robert Plant. When I started listening to Led Zep in the 1970s everyone said they would never sound as great as the Beatles and Elvis; fortunately for us, they did. We love Darrell, Patty, and Buddy's music; so Robert just put it all together, thankfully, and is taking everyone to another artful place.

[theachtungtree]

@traintowns106 you are seriously awesome...you practically lived through the best era of music....the 60s: herbie hancock's maiden voyage, miles davis kickass late 60s period....the beatles revolver....dylan's music....1970's: the stones' exile on main street....zeppelin's physical graffiti...neil young's music,,,you rule

[vaibanez17]

I really like the Zep III sound of this project he's doing. I will look for an album if I can. This is great.

[bonnydirk375]

had a great time sitting with you and your wife at the concert..

i have been checking out some of the members of the band and they have some great stuff. thanks again.

[geaugahoneybear]

You did some awesome work on this video!!!!! I love it. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING.



[areuaninja]

@2112jr1 How would this ruin Robert Plant. He was in one of the best bands ever for tweleve years and now he is pursuing music that he wants with a new band...

[nobbyandbart]

Thanks for this-great preview of what to expect at the Manchester, UK show. Just hope they do one or two of Buddy's songs as well.

[rocco569]

Awesome Vid. Thank You, JT

[rocco569]

Who ever did this, you did a great job. I was at the ABQ show and loved it. Thank You, J.T.

[MsPiotto]

Best Voice ever....I love you Robert always

[bewarethetao]

going to the concert July 24 in The Woodlands, Texas :)

[Suzep1]

Nice montage..thank you for sharing...looks like you had great seats...loving it - and hoping they will be...Goin to California ♫

[lemonsqueezer822]

Thanks for the GREAT video. I love Robert Plant. Wished I could have been there to experience the concert. I miss when I used to work at The Omni in Atlanta and see all kinds of groups. Those were the days. Thanks traintowns 106.

[reddragonready]

Looking forward to that new album and sounds like it might be a fun album to listen to but this formation,even though individually these are great musicians, does seem to lack that magic he had with AK.

[rg72rp]

ty for this AMAZING video. it looks and sounds good.

can't wait for my london date. :)

[weedwes]

i just saw them tonight in tulsa and it was AMAZING!

[kiwizeppelin]
