I saw this tour in Boston. If I remember, you were injured and in a cast, so there was another drummer. Jimmy Page played the night before at the same venue.
Not only that, but he is such a bloody nice person as well. So down to earth. Not "look at me, I'm a great star", but a normal ordinary human being who enjoys a game of darts down at his local pub, and who treats others with respect. Also he is extremely intelligent and cultured, but always with modesty and good manners.
@@mfjdv2020 I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Plant in Southern Oregon. He played with the Shapeshifters at the Britt festival. Gracious gracious man. they were doing their sound check in the afternoon and he saw us watching and came over and spoke with us. My wife almost fainted. She loved that guy so much. I miss her so . That was a special day.❤
Personally speaking I wasn't nervous. I'd always wanted to play The Gardens so I was more excited really. We were very confident and in the midst of a very successful tour so it was just another gig really. This helped me block out the fact that it was being relayed live around the World to an audience of millions!
Speaks highly. If I had been there playing or even on tech support, there would have been a lot of that there Rum of yours being drunk before and afterwards by yours truly! Excellent job!
@@golden_ninja_trout - He's something else. I've known Doug since he was 18 and we used to a lot of session work together as well as being in bands with him. Amazing guitarist.
Greatest front man ever.....for the greatest rock band ever......the voice is unlike no other! Robert has more Swag in his small toe than most frontmen have in their whole body!
He was 41 when he made Now and Zen. Most musicians back then over 35 - bye. He will always be beautiful on so many levels and its not just a physical beauty.
Ozzy is 74 now and still sigs like 41. They have only 3 month difference with Robert Plant that is my favourite of all times. Last time i herd him sing it was about 5 years ago at the Round House, Camden, London and it was fantastic as usual. But yeah, there are more that still sing like they are young.
Has anyone noticed that he's gotten older, he's gotten better.. OMG... God's work at it's best. Funny people used to think that we were related....LMAO maybe it was the hair.
I had a nice opportunity to watch Doug Boyle in his extraordinaire guitar solos in a tour with Caravan, when Caravan was here in Rio (Brazil). He is maybe the most ecletic guitar player in the world, and probably one of the best.
I can't get enough of this song. I love it. I have been listening to all of Robert Plants post Zeppelin material today. I have to say much of it is very good. What a talent !
"Now And Zen" and "Manic Nirvana" are absolutely phenomenal and by far two of Robert's best solo studio long plays, tours, and projects outside of the Mothership. :)
@@mickwarnie8707 Those first two studio long players consist of songs that are completely disjointed and unlistenable except for his two classics, "Big Log", and "In The Mood".
I accidentally played this song (the original studio version that is) after learning one of my classmates in high school the following year died in a boat accident after having been drunk! :0
My British ancestors would have loved this in the 1600's late to their 1700's in sailings. They gave so much of themselves back them. So much easier them these folks endured by far in today. Not a clue!
Robert Plant had a fantastic solo career he seems so happy and in top form. I went to many of his solo shows and the short reunion tour with Jimmy Page. I went to my first Robert Plant solo concert in 1983 in Hartford CT. It was fantastic Robert brought the house down,Did 3 encores his voice and energy were amazing,all solo songs no Zeppelin. I wish he would go back to writing great songs he must get tired of doing the Zeppelin songs. I loved Led Zeppelin but hope Robert continues to say no to any Led Zeppelin reunion. He still sounds great would like to hear some more new songs from the GOLDEN GOD OF ROCK BEST LEAD AND SOLO SINGER OF ALL TIMES KEEP ROCKING ROBERT.
I love Robert's solo songs, have two of his early albums Pictures at Eleven and Principle of Moments. I have to say here that I really prefer these solo albums to anything he did with Led Zeppelin although back in the late 60s and the 70s I was a huge fan of Zeppelin. Robert's style has matured and become more profound since he went solo.
Front man for the greatest rock band of all time . And he still has it today. I wish they would do one last tour for bohman let his son close the last chapter for the gods of rock.
Armanelgtron wow.....different perspective. I thought the 2007 concert was superb...at least the documentary of it was.....tight, polished. Plant did an excellent job....taking into consideration he was 59 by then...not 25 or even 32....and Page nailed it. Not the same, I know....but bit of a disaster? Really? Those that attended the concert seem to have disagreed with you,....
Oddly enough, this song was on our lunchroom jukebox in HS. I played it every day that I could, sometimes repeatedly. It just resonated with me then at 18 and still does twenty years later. I wish every song could touch me this wa
Plant surounds himself with some of the best talent in the business, and I am sure a great group of guys. Great musicians all the way around, top to bottom. Followed this tour for a while in the US, I believe Chris was playing Tama drums at the time, the best drums ever made...imho. Great song, great album, thanks for posting.
He's so on the top of his game here...I saw him and the boys in 1970 in Milwaukee with the Super Troopers shining on them. It was more than Disney...I'll never forget what I saw!
I got hooked on Plant's vocal style listening to Zeppelin particularly when he was younger when he was still able to hit and sustain all those incredible notes and had such a dynamic vocal range. I always thought there was a noticeable difference in the overall quality of his voice by the time Presence was released and afterwards when he recorded many of the songs sitting in a wheelchair while recovering from a car crash. Still, many years later when he released his first solo album, I couldn't wait to grab it. Most of the songs on that album (which I consider to be his best solo album to date) were sung well but noticeably absent was the iconic "gymnastic vocal work" of his earlier Zep days. In addition to having one of the best hard rock voices of all time, Robert Plant will always be loved and remembered as a class act and genuinely nice guy.

That's a tight band, pleasure listening to quality musicianship. Great!!

Plant at his finest hours... Really shows how great he really is. So moveing.
What a very expressive,passionate, handsome, brilliant Robert Plant!❤❤❤
Roberts solo career is some of my favorite music, I was 17 when he went solo, I've always and still listen often in 2024
Robert Plant rocks as always!
Damn, he's so gorgeous, beautiful song and his voice makes me cry
Ah I see, sorry. But he's very very human all the same :-)
Cry on my be nice
Love Robert Plant. He will never be far from my heart, ever...my golden king.❤
Angellike
Robert is so beautiful :)))
Beautiful Man, beautiful song. There will only ever be one Robert Plant.
Hands on hips, hair tosses quintessential Plant, heart melts every time. I remember my heart back then ... *Sigh*.
There were a LOT of head tosses! Lol.
ROBERT PLANT is extraordinary singer !
He's just cool, plain and simple. The way he sings, moves are all so smooth. Love Robert Plant.

yea agreed
did he mess up the lyrics ? he repeated the lines ?
but the song is great his solo stuff is great the guitarists were brilliant the albums flowed
Yeah, he’s the best

Speaks highly. If I had been there playing or even on tech support, there would have been a lot of that there Rum of yours being drunk before and afterwards by yours truly! Excellent job!
You were great! What's it like to play with Doug ? Killer, every one of yaz!!!! Thanks lads one and all!!!!

Still looking fantastic! Love him to this day!!
Beautiful song, sung by the most beautiful man of all time!
are you English or American ?
for real tho):
You got that right 🎶
Agreed
@James C du calme ! Mytho.
Me encanta cómo canta , Qué es guapo este hombre y coqueto 😘😍

You're so right his integrity is phenomenal and his music ethic is phenomenal
this is the first cd i bought. had albums but the sound was so much better on cd
Robert is always fantastic I'm so glad he's endorsing Trump in 2024 and ditched the liberals
😲👀
@@BeefSupreme-vk9sz, where did you hear RP is endorsing tRump?
I can't believe how good he sounds live. Awesome voice.
This is one of the most beautiful songs in the world, I love it, and Robert has a wonderful voice, I adore him.❤️❤️
❤️Wonderful man❤️
It's amazing how the words fit these times.
Your Beauti
Можно слушать вечность. Мы из 80г. А мой брат родной из 70
por eso es y sera el mejor cantante de la historia del rock
I love this song and it's hypnotic guitar riff even though it's no Jimmy Page :) Robert is a beautiful artist and person.
He is :-)
Do you know what Robert Plant is singing about ? It's Interesting
Как давно это было. Как быстро летит время. Роберт поёт великолепно, красивая песня, его голос такой маняший 👋👋👋
Has anyone noticed that he's gotten older, he's gotten better.. OMG... God's work at it's best. Funny people used to think that we were related....LMAO maybe it was the hair.
Уникальный голос.... ❤
His solo stuff is timeless... Eternal!
whoever composed the guitar riffs, hats off!
+YUMuffin n Ampiko Z that's why i came along with to hear it live
Guitar composed and played by Doug Boyle.
GIANT IN ALL,ABSOLUTELY ALL!!!
Greatest frontman of the greatest rockband ever!!!!!!!!! What a voice!!!!!
Opinions are cool. Here's mine -- #1: Bon.
Plant comes in 2nd for moi.
Robert plant number one for me number two Paul Rodgers
Was in the audience and was there to support R.P. after seeing him since the Filmore East days . This was a great show Chris you played great !!!!
I was there also awesome performance . What happened to the good old days
I had a nice opportunity to watch Doug Boyle in his extraordinaire guitar solos in a tour with Caravan, when Caravan was here in Rio (Brazil). He is maybe the most ecletic guitar player in the world, and probably one of the best.
Doug's solo is just mind blowing.
Robert Plant, look at him, still awesome now. He owns that stage, great vid.
I can't get enough of this song. I love it. I have been listening to all of Robert Plants post Zeppelin material today. I have to say much of it is very good. What a talent !
A prolific artist to a many generations. Mind you. One is not alone to such artistry to longevity..
This is a dead song
@@SSAVAGEEEwhat?😂
This was my chill song back in the late 80s. One of the most gorgeous songs ever
Everytime he does that hip thing..i need a moment alone in quite reflection...hehehee...perfect song! Perfect hips toooo....
Like the way U spell
This is probably the best solo song and studio recording of his career and life.
He sounded GREAT! And I especially love the ending of this song.
Before or after
What a performance, one of the most nostalgic songs of all time...
amazing musician, amazing voice, amazing talent. no comparison!
Wonderful Song Robert Plant. 😇🎹🎸🎤🎷🎻〽🎺
Wow!!! I'm in aaahhhh. from the artist, to the voice, the song. He has everything.... I love some Robert Plant....
OK
sondra hill: Only _some_ Robert Plant? I love it all!
And so beautiful long blond curly hair ❤️❤️
Good girl
"Now And Zen" and "Manic Nirvana" are absolutely phenomenal and by far two of Robert's best solo studio long plays, tours, and projects outside of the Mothership. :)
Na princible of momments

@@alexkx8599 Now & Zen and Shaken N Stirred are my 2 favorites.
Shaken and stirred is my all time favorite Plant lp then Dreamland
Love Doug Boyle's sigh of relief when he's done playing.
I love this man
One great song
estara
siempre con nosotros en nuestros corazones y te hechamos de menos❤
Young enough to have this when it was released on cassette. This song gave me chills on the first listen and every single time after. He's a legend.
Wonderful song and performance
THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF 1 OF MY BEST FRIEND GOD REST HIS SOUL
I accidentally played this song (the original studio version that is) after learning one of my classmates in high school the following year died in a boat accident after having been drunk! :0
Plant is like from another planet.
?? How so??
This is such an emotional release~ I studied Jimmy Page for half a century and it turned out well. Let's not forget these performances!
Красивая музыка, красивая песня! Бесподобный голос Планта! Харизматичное присутствие на сцене 👋👋👋👍❤
My British ancestors would have loved this in the 1600's late to their 1700's in sailings. They gave so much of themselves back them. So much easier them these folks endured by far in today. Not a clue!
THE MOST MUSICLY AMAZING CONCERT I'VE SEEN WAS ROBERT PLANT AT THE BRADLY CENTER IN MILWAUKEE.
William Wegener Robert Plant with Jimmy Page at Knebworth castle in 1990. Amazing. 13 Acts in 13 hrs. Knebworth 90
Saw that one too.......ROBERT WAS AMAZING!
For this tour he played the Marcus in Milwaukee great show.
Robert Plant had a fantastic solo career he seems so happy and in top form. I went to many of his solo shows and the short reunion tour with Jimmy Page. I went to my first Robert Plant solo concert in 1983 in Hartford CT. It was fantastic Robert brought the house down,Did 3 encores his voice and energy were amazing,all solo songs no Zeppelin.

I agree, led zep has its legend secured, it doesn't need to be "kept alive"
Absolutely goosebumps again, always amazing mr.plant, and a huge shout out to super guitar !!!! Wow ! This guy is good !
Would LOVE to hear Robert do this NOW with the Sensational Space Shifters. This song is mesmerizing. Come on Robert! Break it out!
I agree though he has Saving Grace next as a project he is doing and then I imagine Allison Krauss.
SEXIEST MAN ALIVE!
I'm an old rocker (74) and I still love Robert Plant & AC/DC. Play their cds all the time.
Linda Zirkle Me too, greetings from England.
You have good taste!
My favorite Robert Plant solo work.
Saw me at Zeppelin '73... (I was 14 !)... then Zeppelin '75 ... (Mon. and Fri.)... then '77 saw at the Kingdome.
Front row ! All times. ;-)
Front man for the greatest rock band of all time . And he still has it today. I wish they would do one last tour for bohman let his son close the last chapter for the gods of rock.
Are you referring to former drummer John Bonham?
Celebration Day (live concert) was a bit of a disaster IMO even when compared to Page & Plant...but I think that closed the chapters for Led Zeppelin.
armanelgtron , i thought that concert was good. But yeah your probably right. It's not the same with Bonzo. Thier ship has sailed.
Jason accomplished that in 2012. Look up the Kennedy Center Honors.
Armanelgtron wow.....different perspective. I thought the 2007 concert was superb...at least the documentary of it was.....tight, polished. Plant did an excellent job....taking into consideration he was 59 by then...not 25 or even 32....and Page nailed it. Not the same, I know....but bit of a disaster? Really? Those that attended the concert seem to have disagreed with you,....
He is a master at getting his own lyrics wrong! Always has been...gotta love it!
My favorite ❤️
I got to see Plant 2 times in concert and each show was a great performance!
Me too, but just once!
I've seen Plant about 20 times in concert. The 1980's concerts were by far, the best.
John S.
Very nice! :-)
Aaaarrrggghhh ... lucky you!!!!!
Bravo!
Gorgeous Man!
Man crush lol?
Robert is, without a shadow of doubt, the most beautiful man I have ever seen in my entire life.
Beautiful guitar arrangement and sound!
Just the best music. They don't have bands like this anymore.
awesome!!!
What a great song with a sad story ! Read about what it means ! Man's inhumanity to Man . And why would cannot seem to Change
I was there!!!!
Love it. Was there. :)
Oddly enough, this song was on our lunchroom jukebox in HS. I played it every day that I could, sometimes repeatedly. It just resonated with me then at 18 and still does twenty years later. I wish every song could touch me this wa

Hi there! Yes, I was playing Tama throughout that tour and the Manic Nirvana tour also. Great drums!
I am not a drummer by no means but when Bonham played his Ludwig floor and rack "toms" I thought they were the best sounds I ever heard IMO
Loved this song since it was first released. 1st time hearing it live. Thank you for uploading it.
😍😍😍😍
He and LZ, genius
Here's work, understanding we, or not, we like, or not, - job is amazing
He's so on the top of his game here...I saw him and the boys in 1970 in Milwaukee with the Super Troopers shining on them. It was more than Disney...I'll never forget what I saw!
y esa voz tan increible
First time I have heard this live excellent 👍👍
Haunting lyrics.
prettiest song of his after the big log.

He had ill-advised larynx surgery in 74-75 and it messed him up.
He never warmed up.
