Robert Plant

Zep has been my favorite band since I was 10 (now 63) and have the tattoos to prove it. I was devastated when Bonham passed. I met Plant the morning after a show in Norfolk Virginia at breakfast in the hotel. He was with the entire band (Sensational Space Shifters). We sat and talked with him for the better part of an hour. All I can say is what a dude. We didn't come across as star stuck fans. Said good morning and off he went. Asking us questions, did we see the show, what we thought, where we were from,telling jokes.He was funny, engaging, just a good person. I can honestly say I met my lifelong idol and am all the better for it.

The song you reference is a good example of his unique expression of his talent. But I am guilty of being an extreme fanboy, He and the band did nothing to ever disappoint me. I was always intrigued how they progressed as a band and even more amazed at how he has taken is talents to the level he has on his own,

The image of his pants has been burnt to his image I have of him. Befor YouTube (never SEEN LZ and Plant before that), I loved him (and LZ). 

Its getting better now at his old age (fat and ugly, but still singing GRAET). 

@n80 - might have to break out the old 1960 Les Paul Reissue and play along to some Lep Zep today.  Thanks for the suggestion.  All you other mothers, happy holidays.

I like most all of us of that age listened to them in high school.  Yes, we were pummeled by them on FM radio.

Then I got a bootleg set of their MSG shows (75 I think).  All of them and the whole shows.  I could not believe that the length of ever song, every night was within a seconds of each other.  Whole Lotta Love at over 20 minutes was within a few seconds in length each night.  Totally turned me off.  Thought they were a rock & roll band that jammed.  NOT.

I think of other rock bands of the day that jammed out.  My favorite bands had different set lists and different versions played of the songs.  Given what good musicians each of the Zep members are/were, I was just astounded that they couldn’t mix up the jams. 

I too, love the music of Led Zeppelin. Like others, I eventually drifted away to other music. It is unfortunate that their music wasn't mastered better. For as much as I love the music, I get frustrated with the blurry soundstage. It's like everything runs together like a watercolor in the rain. My favorite album is Led Zeppelin III.
