      When he toured with Band of Joy and it was another instrumentalist's solo he would be standing still on the back of the stage, out of the limelight.
      Note that a band's frontman has to strut. While he was a frontman he would strut, but that's different from a prima donna, who thinks everything is about herself.

      We were fortunate to see them live on October 30, 1969 at Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo NY. Everyone was dressed up for Halloween and it was so much fun. Opening for them was a band from Cleveland that we'd never heard of called The James Gang.. They had a guitar player named Joe Walsh! He was dressed up as the Scarecrow from Wizard of Oz. They flat out ROCKED. It was my second biggest concert. The first was The Dave Clark Five at Memorial Auditorium about 3 years earlier. Great shows. Any body out there also see these shows? We're all so old now LOL Peace and God bless everybody.

    This is the artist who I love and admire the most in music. After Zep finished so tragically he didn't take the obvious and easy path which a lot of his peers have taken. That spoke volumes for the love and respect he has for John Bonham's memory and their friendship. Says a lot about him as a person that. I saw him live two months ago, and he's still got it. Brilliant. And it's been a great pleasure following him along the said path he has taken.

      Agree - Robert's a real thinker, profound, as too is Jimmy and JPJ. It's reflected through lyrics and arrangements - gave them an edge over all their contemporaries and that's contributed to their longevity. Like The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Queen et al, Led Zep will be discovered by every new generation. Streaming music has made genre a meaningless pidgeonhole these days - kids today (and me) just listen to what appeals to them and they don't care if it comes from Bob Marley, Genesis, Bill Nelson, T Rex, Bowie, Dr Dre, Taylor Swift or whoever - if it's good songs it'll be played over and over and over again for eternity.

    Similarity to what Mr. Plant is describing my father served in the British Navy, (after the war he came to the US he wanted out of Edinburgh, the after war blues) he was from Scotland and he never talked about the war. He would tell us stories about drinking tea and getting shot in the back because he had a hole in his back.
    When we got older, that hole was from contracting tuberculosis, he lay in bed on his back for 12 months he almost died.
    He had a beautiful voice, when we were kids, my friends would come over to watch him dance and sing and that Scottish accent. He was an amazing human being.

      @@jdenino6022 You have the first rudimentary time machine available to you today. There are so many live recorded Zep concerts that are so much more real than the movie was with all of it's production techniques. Those live concerts contain the reality of their performances, their raw energy, their sometime less than stellar performances of a song or two, but always getting the best that they had to offer on any given day or night. Yes, I feel blessed to be able to listen to a concert, recorded in audio only, in San Diego that I had attended and being able to hear my own unique whistle during those few less noisy spaces between songs. It is almost reassuring, to me, to hear that whistle as it reminds me of the emotions filling my head and heart that night. Like Robert said, the anticipation was palpable, it was heavy in the air, everybody acting like a child on Christmas eve. Wondering what Santa was bringing us for Xmas, I was never a particularly well behaved child but I knew that Led Zeppelin was going to reward me that night. I was not disappointed! I went to the concert alone, but never felt alone while I was there. Others were generous with their drugs, I got stoned pre-concert. There was a general belief that something special was happening that night and it was infectious. I had to find my own way home that night after the show. 20 miles through the streets of San Diego to El Cajon. I walked those 20 miles singing to myself along the way, walking past my childhood neighborhood in East San Diego on the way. A rough bit of a neighborhood at that time and I was glad to have moved on and away from that area. I was on a high during that walk. I sang every Zep song that I knew the words to and believe me, that was most of what they had put out by that time. I can just imagine the people hearing my offkey renditions of those great Zeppelin songs. Those poor folks are probably still cringing at the memory. Sorry to have run on and on about that night but the memory is still fresh in my mind, as it should be. The experience of the thing that was Led Zeppelin lives on in my mind and I am a better person for having been there to experience their performance.

    20 years ago or so I used to drink in the same pub as Robert. A smashing bloke, down to earth, genial, modest, and full of quiet charisma. Had many chats and encounters when others were around but the most rewarding, for a bloke who had got his autograph in 1977 in a local Charity football match, then undertook the safari to Knebworth aged 18, was to find myself on my own with him at the bar the evening after the O2 reunion concert.
    Started by telling him how astounding and enjoyable it was ( “ ah did you go!? “….” “Sadly no, watched it on CZcams straight after “…..)then got his unfiltered honest feelings about the night, and a few (precious, to me) funny insights, some observations on the whole thing, and other gems. That was a long time ago now, ( I stopped going there years ago) but feels like yesterday, and listening to him here, he’s not changed a bit. A true, 100% musical legend up there with the absolute greatest, and a really good guy.

I am a huge fan of his work but have never asked for an autograph or photo. We just chat, say hello and it's great that almost no one in the pub makes a big deal about who he is.
