Robert Plant defies expectations, beautifully, at Saenger show
Review by Lawrence F. Specker, Press-Register at blog.al.com
Robert Plant could say yes to a Led Zeppelin reunion tour, spend a few months singing great songs to adoring throngs and then spend the rest of his life counting his money.
His sold-out Wednesday night show at the Mobile Saenger Theatre made it crystal clear why he’s stuck to a different path, even after a one-off 2007 concert that showed the three surviving members of the band can still bring the …

Tangerine: Robert Plant & the Band of Joy @ Stubb’s BBQ, 7/26/10
Taken from www.hardrockchick.com with kind permission
I woke up with the sun on Monday morning. It trickles in my windows as it rises over the hills that surround my new home.

”One publishes a splendid Led Zeppelin magazine doesn’t one” – The TBL 2 meet HRH, July 21st 1982.
Seeing the announcement of the Princes Trust concert due to be staged later this year with Eric Clapton headlining, reminded me of my experiences at the 1982 Princes Trust Rock Gala staged at the London Dominion Theatre.
This was the night Robert Plant performed on a London stage for the first time since the demise of Zep. My good friend Tom and I were there on the evening of July 21st 1982 to witness …
