It was the first time I’ve seen (solo) Robert since December 2005, when
he played at Wolverhampton with the Strange Sensations.
At Liverpool he sang flawlessly and seemed to have so much more control
over his voice than when I have seen him live on previous occasions.
The whole band worked really well together and complemented each other.
The solo spots when Robert took a back seat were also a real surprise,
and worked really well.
I can’t remember the entire set list, but it was mostly the same as the
Paris show. ‘Satan your …

Robert Plant & The Band Of Joy –The Sage, Gateshead October 20th  2010
Fabulous evening – I don’t think I’ve seen Robert as relaxed and as comfortable within a band.
Vocally the whole evening was sensational, Robert, as Id expected, maintains an impeccable standard – but the whole band sings and there are wonderful harmonies flying in all over the place. The musicianship was great too throughout and also Robert was more than happy to share the limelight and took to the rear of the stage whilst Buddy,Patty & …

Robert Plant & The Band Of Joy- October 16th, Sentrum Scene, Oslo, Norway
This report from Tiina Puska
Justin Adams & Juldeh Camara opened the evening. They were truly something special and I would really love to see them again. My husband , who is normally more into heavy metal, was thrilled by them.
Robert was in a great mood, relaxed, smiling and laughing and joking about the afternoon nap he took in his hotel room. I’m not sure if he stayed at the Grand Hotel, which is the best …
