Had a chance to see Robert Plant last Saturday

[IronEagle]

Tremendous concert. One of the best I've seen in a while and I've seen some good ones recently.

I liked his new material so much that I went out and bought his new album. That doesn't always happen with performers who have been around for a while. And the old Zeppelin stuff was great.

Don't know if he will make it to Philly anytime soon but if he does, I'd highly recommend going. RSE and Ken, he's playing in Toronto tomorrow and according to his webpage tickets are available.

You can watch his concert from Sunday night via a (authorized) link on this webpage:

[RSE]

We'll IE saw him in the Tri-State so I guess you are S.O.L.

[TRENT]

We'll IE saw him in the Tri-State so I guess you are S.O.L.

To be honest, he doesn't sound very good

He should stick to his new material only. He just stays down in that chest voice and rarely comes up into that head voice we are so used to from those great Led Zeppelin albums. Maybe it's because Led Zeppelin was my favorite band growing up. I listened to those albums over and over and over again and know every note. Listen, he got old. We all did. He just can't hit those high, almost-screaming runs anymore.

Love how you explain Falsetto

its a young man thing..I smoked alot..Mine is pretty destroyed.... He had many years as the greatest singer in Rock and Roll...the Heart concert with Jason Bonnhams band sounded spot on.

I thought he sounded GREAT! And I bet you would have enjoyed it if you had been there.

I agree he can't hit the high notes the way he used to. Actually I think he could pull it off a lot better than he did in the concert but he has to hold back because he can't do it day after day on a tour without blowing out his voice.

guess I will have to just look back to the time I saw LeD Zep at the MSG

It was at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. A great venue for a show like this.

So you ADMIT that?

Uh huh....uh huh

[Two Gap Penetrator]

It's always tough for the singers who rely on that

Then you take a guy like Paul Rodgers, who lives down in that chest voice, and he STILL sounds amazing.

[TRENT]

Fine Example..I saw the Firm at least 6 times

Then you take a guy like Paul Rodgers, who lives down in that chest voice, and he STILL sounds amazing.

and Bad Co twice..Love that guys voice Midnight Moonlight,,,one of my Favs..

I would say Guys Like Jon Anderson have the Market cornered with Falsetto...its tough to carry that into you 70's,,,at some point it starts to crack.

The lyric that was rough watching that Plant thing was.....

Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today, way up high in the sky.
But the wind won't blow, you really shouldn't go, it only goes to show

[TRENT]

thats Like looking at Pam Anderson in 1992 in a PB spread

Uh huh....uh huh

and looking at a spread now...............ugggggghhh!


that chick love spreading eagle for the camera,,,One thing I have to say she wasn't shy:D

I saw him last night at the BAM. He opened up with No Quarter. Great show as usual (this was my 13th time seeing him live). I watched the game down the street around a bunch of Gunts fans. Game sucked but the show as awesome!

He didn't play "No Quarter" on Saturday, so I guess he is mixing up the old stuff a little but not much.

I loved that he did some blues covers. They were some of the highlights of the concert for me.
