Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

First let me say, I love Robert Plant. I think he’s absolutely brilliant and I don’t think there are any artists today that sing in a range as wide or sing as passionately as he does. To this day, I still think that the way Robert Plant sings, with such raw, unfiltered emotion, void of vocal control or fear, is unlike anyone else I’ve ever heard before.
The most amazing part about seeing Robert Plant live, besides his uninhabited talent and stage presence, is that watching him is like getting to see a little piece of music history right before your eyes. It’s amazing to know you’re experiencing something that people got to experience in the seventies and eighties when the world, and the music industry, was a much different place. This definitely adds another layer to his live performances, making them all the more incredible.
It’s amazing that a musician who has been around for so long still manages to be consistently creative and innovative, and his voice is even almost as strong as it was on Led Zeppelin’s earliest albums. He’s had many different projects since Led Zeppelin, and though none have been nearly as popular, they are all unique and interesting in their own right.
Plant’s show at the Glastonbury Festival this year was packed with the most positive of vibes, and the audience couldn’t get enough of him, even screaming with approval during some of the more mellow guitar solos. The man definitely still has it, and I hope he never stops performing.
