I think a string was broken! And this Song is hard to play! not easy! I Love this Song!!!

[MrRiptoff]

Actually it's called A BROKEN STRING.

aww. I live here. how could I have missed one of my favourite songs

[TubeFreakJonas]

6:04 Plant has to fight some rough notes but here he's aging gracefully, hitting the A, then the C - really a fearless guy to just go for it, because his voice was already pretty road worn!

And I credit Boyle with getting a great sense of Blunt's original guitar theme, and later going out on a limb with it (almost Knopfler.) Check solos 5:39 near the end! He wanders out of melody a few times but he's playing it right on the edge.

Wow, great performance...for a period of which I didn't expect such.

[BPDLSG]

At 5:50-6:00 you can see the guitarist breaks a string and needs a moment to figure out how to play through the rest of the song. I think he does a wonderful job considering the difficult nature of the song in the first place.

@nickfame3021 - I realize that. That's why I miss him. ;)

[Algorhythmiq]

I miss the talents of Robbie Blunt w/ Plant. Very unique player with his own recognisable style.

His voice seemed a bit weaker here compared to just back in 1985. His voice seemed to lose a little raw power from 1980 until this performance. But, to argue that its okay, he really was not hitting the notes he use to with Led Zeppelin. He mellowed out a little and thus, when you do not practice a singing technique in years, it will go away a bit.

sounded fine to me. doug boyle looks like he needed to be eating more though
