“Burning down one side” “In the mood” “Ship of fools” “Heaven Knows” are all great Plant songs
Ship of fools is so amazing! 29 palms and calling to you as well.
Also - Tall Cool One - 29 Palms - Sea of Love
‘Song to the siren’ is a great cover too.

what he said
Phil Collins, a good friend of Plant, talked him out of retiring. Told him he'd play drums on his first solo effort and tour with him. That's Phil Collins
And other albums as well. Close mates.
🎼There’s nobody can sing bluesy blues like Robert Plant. He’s been singing with Allison Krauss lately and you talk about some good listening. But after all, Robert Plant is the King of Goosebumps. Been listening to him many years since Led Zepplin. After all we are in our 70’s and have been appreciating Robert Plant all these years.🎼💟☮️
Allison Krauss has the voice of an angel and is a badass violin virtuoso
@@maryklever1633
🎼Yes she is a bad-assed violin virtuoso and her voice fits into Plants just like a glove. I really love listening to them.🎼☮️
Going to see them in June with Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan
I’m seeing him and Alison again for the 3rd time this August in Washington State!
@@DaisyAnnabelle65
August in Washington State? OMG! Both of my daughters live in Spokane! Where is/are the concert(s) going to be?
My favorite Robert Plant song, transports you to another place.
For me, that song is Kashmir.
And time...
my favorite song of all time made a playlist of all the Big Log's live versions available on UA-cam.

He's had a 43 year solo carrer I've seen him 27 times on his solo carrer concerts. He's my favorite artist.
Right on. 👈
Genius!
Envy oooozes from my pores....
I saw him once in Oklahoma. I had balcony seats on the rail. When a song finished I said “ I love you Robert!” He looked at me like “ Really?” 😂 His voice is still amazing.
Robert is the GOAT for rock n roll singers!!
Robby Blunt on guitar…..outstanding player, vastly underrated and criminally unrecognized by most.
Robbie Blunt has always been one of my favorite guitarists Classy indeed .
Hails from my neck of the woods, Kidderminster, England. Now retired to the Canaries. Watched him play many times - just a great guitarist
Led Zeppelin disbanded in 1980 after John Bonham died. This was recorded in 1983, when all remaining members were free to do solo projects.
Still a solo artist lol Robert has no quit in him Another hypnotic solo Ship of Fools
Robert has some good solo stuff.
Im In The Mood should be on your list.
His work with Allison Krause is great. Their song GONE GONE GONE is a good one.
I love their High and Lonesome ❤ they were fabulous on Crossroads
I'll be seeing them in June. Really looking forward to it!
Robert Plant - Tall Cool One - 29 Palms - Heaven Knows - Ship of Fools - Sea of Love
Robert Plant - Tall Cool One - 29 Palms - Heaven Knows - Ship of Fools - Sea of Love
That entire “Raising Sand” record is incredible. “Please Read The Letter” is stunning.
My favorite part of this song BIG LOG is the guitar,.. that touches my heart❤ every time that I hear it. I can listen to it over and over just to hear the guitar.🎉
Robbie Blunt is the guitarist, I think. Something Blunt. He has such great phrasing. Rob's solo work is a whole other rabbit hole. Worth the time. He employs amazing musicians.
Open road, approaching evening, train in the rear veiw mirror coming up on my right and overtaking our ride as this song played on the stereo. One of those moments in life marked by a song.
Walking into the cafeteria at school. We had an old juke box in the corner. This came on, and the room went silent. I just stood still in the doorway listening. Sun shining in the windows with a big blue sky.
@@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer _You've got a lot of soul!_
Robert Plant has an entire Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame level career in addition to Led Zeppelin. Dude is one of the all time greats.
It’s a crime that he’s not been inducted as a solo artist. Hell, even PHIL COLLINS hasn’t. That’s just a travesty. Maybe after they both pass on… ☹️
Love Big Log! Ship Of Fools and I'm In The Mood are two others worth checking out.
This whole song has the capacity to transport you to another world. The guitar is beautiful and the vocals are haunting.
Try his I’m in the mood next…
👍Yes! 👍
This is perfect to play on a cool summer night, riding with the windows down … so late that no one else is on the road. It’s soul stirring. And your reaction is how I feel every time I listen to it. I feel like a teenager swept up by what the future could hold.
Phil Collins plays drums on this track!
Also Phil Collins plays on the track: In The Mood.
The drumming on this song is electronically programmed, so it's definitely not Phil Collins. This is from his second solo album (The Principle Of Moments), and IIRC Phil Collins only played on the first one (Pictures At Eleven). Robbie Blunt's guitar is the MVP here for sure, and Paul Martinez is on point with the bass. That chord change before he sings "leading me on" is absolutely *gorgeous* isn't it?
Robert Plant Rocks! I grew up with the incredible bands of the 60's and 70's. Will never be this great of music again. Im glad I grew up in that time!
Me too...we are so blessed ❤️✌🏼
Me also. We were very lucky....spoiled us for music going forward. Now a days crap. Mostly. No texture. Lyrics lacking. All the same beat. Just a shame....
For sure the 70s-90s was the Golden Age of music for most, but there are kids now discovering all the old stuff (thanks, in great part ,to UA-cam) . Some will take what theyve learned & make it their own. Modern production techniques are garbage, but people are realizing this and Id like to hope that soon pitch correction, quantizing, looped drums, click tracks and all that other garbage will be a thing of the past.
..and to be fair, some of that stuff has its place, but its so misused & overused so often , that it takes any "life" right out of the songs.
Brings tears to your eyes doesn't it.
This was 1983
This song is so damn smooth
I love this song! Robert Plant is so phenomenally gifted! I love his solo work and he's still at it!!! Thank you Polo!
My favorite solo Plant tune
Me too

Just saw him live here in a piazza in Italy in November. He is STILL amazing.
Wow ! That's fantastic. ✌🏻 what talent
@@valoriel4464 I have videos on my channel if you're into it.
In the Mood from the same album is stellar too!
All of Robert’s solo career consists of beautiful and interesting music of different genres. Try it you’ll ❤️ He’s 74 and still doing it ❤
I’d recommend 29Palms, In the Mood, Ship of Fools, Calling to You, and Greatest Gift
Yes to all of these!
"Like I've Never Been Gone" and "Sea Of Love" as well.
First Robert plant song I heard when he quit playing with led Zeppelin such a timeless classic
Road tune ... cruise control, and IN NO RUSH !!! CHILLIN' ❤
Love this song...! Logging on the miles... "There's no turning back on the run"
A great long haul song!
Saw Plant perform this live in Philadelphia in '83. Loved that whole album.
I’m totally jealous!
I saw him perform this in Milwaukee in '83. Without looking it up, I believe the album was Pictures at 11. I finally looked it up. I was wrong as that was his first solo album in '82. This is The Principle of Moments, his second solo album.
@@ew4932 This one is from the second album "The Principle of Moments".
Robert Plant - Tall Cool One - 29 Palms - Heaven Knows - Ship of Fools - Sea of Love
"Like I've Never Been gone" and "Heaven Knows" as well.
I know it's early but, you're gonna love this song
That was the fantastic Robbie Blunt on guitar who had the impossible task of following up Page as Plant's guitar muse. When I saw this tour Phil Collins was drumming but on this song he played xylophone. "Tie Dye On The Highway" is a fave by Plant. Pure banger.
It’s so cool watching someone hear this song for the first time!
Exactly!! Where were you the first time you heard this?
I can remember the color of the sheets😊
I was 18 years old, though I remember the tune from my childhood, maybe from Radio or something :') this song is like a deja-vu to me.
80s plant is one my favorite plants of all❤!
As everyone has mentioned, In the Mood, Ship of Fools, Heaven Knows. Also I like Tall Cool One. His later and current work with Alison Krauss. Its a deep well. 😊😊
Robert Plant is just straight up 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Of course Zep gets all the love, but his solo stuff was quite prolific and interesting.
This song always reminds me of driving to Laredo, TX with my Mom's family and going into Nueva Laredo, Mexico. They played this song in Mexico on repeat. That was about 1983 when this song first came out. Still to this day I think of the heat and those sunsets. 🌇
You broke this reaction down beautifully. I remember first hearing this song when i was 6 years old and stopped me dead in my tracks. I've loved this song all my life. Every time I've heard it, I get teleported somewhere. Everything else disappears. Your interpretation is exactly 100% Spot On. I wished you'd consider doing a video on "29 Palms". That was another beautiful solo hit from him he put out in 93. Thanks for a beautiful trip down memory lane.
Robby Blunt on guitar 🎸. This entire first solo album (Pictures At Eleven), is a masterpiece. I feel as though it’s Robert’s finest solo effort. Next………
“Like I’ve Never Been Gone”.
✌🏼😎🇺🇸
This is from the second album! My favourites from the first are Burning Down One Side and Fat Lip.
@@TheoZoffrok my favorite would have to be “Like I’ve Never Been Gone”.
I agree, this is a timeless song. Robert Plant is the best rock vocalist of his time 12:12 and goes from rich, raunchy, sultry, to soft and smooth. Every time I hear this song I melt. The melody is superb. Love your channel. It's awesome to see you freaking out over songs I've known for decades. Great music never goes out of style.
But listen to Pearl Jam or Soundgarden and hear amazing vocals. Maybe you already have...
Easily my favourite Robert Plant song. I was obsessed with it when it came out. Such a beautiful guitar intro and the vocal are just so…..Robert Plant!
It's funny to me that a solo career Robert Plant song has such magical guitar work in it. This is exemplary. For me, this is the best solo Plant song.
Notable solo Plant songs: "Heaven Knows," "Sea of Love" (Honeydrippers), "In the Mood," "Ship of Fools."
Yes! And also "29 Palms". That's a good one, too!
This was guitarist Robby Blunt. I believe he stayed with Plant until around 1988. He always matched up with outstanding musicians. After Zeppelin, his standards were high, to say the least.
He did have the habit of firing his bands every few years….at least until the 90’s when he reunited with Page. Always searching for new sounds and ideas. After 2000, not so much. He found his place and had stopped trying to catch the “golden ring”……again
Another beauty from solo Plant is Ship of Fools. Btw….the official video of Big Log is wonderful.
Robby Blunt on guitar. Wonderful
player
@@helenespaulding7562 I didn't mean to indicate that Plant would find bad band mates. It's just ironic, a bit, that AFTER Zeppelin he's got such great guitar work from Blunt. This particular song is outstanding for its guitar, IMO.
This song has always made me tear up in just it's absolute sheer beauty

Awesome song..used to play it a lot when I was on a long trip in my taxi. My car would feel like it was dancing to the song, moving through the traffic. One night I picked up a dude at the west end of the beach and took him to town. I didn't hit a red light until the song stopped.
One of the greatest tunes to listen to while alone in the dark on the open road.
41 years later, still sounds amazingly fresh.
You really should check out Robert Plant in the Concert in the Desert.
There's stuff out of West Africa, and the Sahara that would totally blow your mind!
Such a great song... you can feel the emotion in the music.
One of Robert's best creations... a definite top choice in my playlists.
Enjoyed your reaction...
Led Zepp 4 EVER! Robert still incorporates Led Zepp songs into his repertoire in his concerts. It’s quite Amazing to hear it all again and he twists the songs exquisitely! ❤
You’ve got to check out Robert Plant and Jimmy Page Most High too. The Zeppelin well is deep!
I agree with you on everything about this song.Exquisite ❤
I had a STRONG FEELING that you were gonna LIKE THIS ONE!!! :) SUCH A GREAT, SLOW GROOVE!!! LOVE IT! :) Thanks, Polo!!
One of my favourite tracks EVER.

I saw this live on his Principle of Moments Tour 1983 here in Vancouver. Robbie Blunt on guitar, Phil Collins on drums. It was the last show on the tour. The encore was a jam similar to the psychedelic portion of Whole Lotta Love, with Plant shouting "Push it! Push it! Push it!", and Phil Collins wearing a wig. 😋 I saw him 2 more times... Shaken N' Stirred, 1985, and Manic Nirvana, 1990. Absolutely magical.
41 years since its release and Big Log remains a beautiful, captivating, emotional piece of music. It's absolutely timeless✨

Robert Plant messed around and made a timeless classic.
Sensational Space Shifters!! Band of JOY!!
Not one human outside of opera comes close to the notes and keys and the greatness of his voice
I drove over the road for 33 years, this will play at my funeral.
I jammed to this song several times a day during my decade-long, long-haul truck driving job from 90 to 00. Made the endless miles out west pass in the blink of an eye.
Ooohhhh Robert❤❤❤❤
A bit old for me. When he was younger, hubba hubba, he was gorgeous!! But I was too,young to appreciate him 😅
A remarkably excellent song by Robert Plant…I can listen to this song anytime of day or night and is always easy on the ears…great reaction video!
Robbie Blunt is the guitarists. You know how people will say: so and so is the most underrated guitarists of all time and you think well everyone knows who that is so how is that underrated?
Robbie Blunt truly is the most underrated great guitarist
This is my ringtone! I'm a diehard Zeppelin and Robert Plant fan. I love your reactions to them.

Saw Robert Plant in 1988, 1990 and going to see him in July with Alison Krauss. He has always been one of my favorite artists because he constantly creates new music and tours..
My favorite Robert Plant track. It's so dreamy. ❤
SHIP OF FOOLS!!! Love the engineering on these tracks! Every instruments is so clear and vibrant! Not muddy at all. I think Ship of fools is a masterpiece in engineering.
Love listening to this driving my truck otr late night into early morning through the Midwest of Our Beautiful Country
Yes indeed my friend his solo career began in 1983. I haven’t listened to this song in years, thanks for the reaction. My personal favorite LP of his is Manic Nirvana. U can’t go wrong diving into the Plant rabbit hole. Looking forward to more.
Great song I remember was number 1 for ages in my country. Beautiful distinctive guitar by Robbie Blunt who was in Plant solo band for awhile. Great solo career still always diverse and still going.
Good choice, can't go wrong
Robbie Blunt on guitar
Thanks Polo. I kinda forgot about Robert’s solo songs. Still love it all these years later 🔥
It's been a few years since I last heard this, I wore out the cassette back in the day! I saw Plant in Calgary in '05, it was the 1st conceet I took my son to, ❤❤❤ him. Just found your channel, liking your vibe!
I saw him do this live at an outdoor venue and it was amazing . The sound of the audience clapping along either the song was incredible
I'm really excited for this one 😁 This is one of my favorite songs that I put in the mellow/ tranquil category. It's so easy to zone out to 😌
That was the beauty of Zeppelin they had super broad influences between them all that is what made them so great and untouchable really!
Phil Collins played on most of this album's songs and Jethro Tull's drummer played on a couple, too. This song is just a drum machine. Check out "In The Mood" with Phil on drums. In the 80s, when you heard the unmistakable "bark" from those concert toms on someone's song, you knew Phil was on the track.
The Honeydrippers - keep going Polo
This music always made me think about riding horseback through the hills near Santa Fe, New Mexico! This is the first Robert Plant track I heard after he went solo. I still love it!
The guitar and his voice join as one its such a pure song wonderful
I saw him in Toronto and Stevie Ray Vaughan was the opening act! The best double bill I've ever seen!! Robert has a ton of great songs.
This song came out when I was about 12 and just getting really into music. Blew me away and is forever ingrained in my mind. Love it just as much to this day.
He's still touring today as a solo artist! Can't wait to catch him live and hear this again.......
In the mood. Both of his debut solo efforts where stellar! Can't go more than 6 months without listening to either album!🎉❤🎉🎉
Fantastic, I feel like I'm in Spain!
One of my all time favorites! You're right, I NEVER get tired of this song!
All of My Love - Led Zeppelin... In the Mood - Robert Plant
Really good music takes you to another place, time, memory. It has a dream like quality or rips at your soul with its honesty. Vicki
My mom used to play this song to make me go to sleep. 40 years later, it still hits. “In the Mood” is fun, too!
One of my favorite songs of all time.
I love these music reaction channels its brings you back to songs you haven't heard for probably 30 years or more and watch someone else enjoy it
His track In The Mood, which was the single after this one, always takes me back to 1983 when I was still a kid.
The whole album “Principles of Moments” is quite fantastic.
This song has something special about it. I could never quite put my finger on it, but there is just something about this song that resonates with me.
It is one of a literal handful of songs that I can say instantly takes me to another place. Now, there are lots of other songs that kind of do that, but "Big Log" is one that I don't even have to think of when trying to name them.
As soon as those first five guitar notes are cast into the air, I catch my breath in anticipation of the beautiful isolation this song seems to conjure.
I was in love with this song long before I saw the video, and can honestly say that the video is, thematically, EXACTLY what I picture in my head when I listen to it.
Your life has now been made better, for listening to "Big Log" by Robert Plant.
This song always takes me back to when I was living in Massachusetts with my eldest sister. I was having a really difficult time living at home and had to decide whether to stay up there or go back to Florida. I stayed for awhile and have some really fond memories of that point in time.
Thanks for taking me on that journey. This track was new for me as well, and I will definitely be adding this to the play list. I love the spanish guitar sound...
Rockin’ at midnight. The whole album is great.
Robert Plant has been singing as a solo artist since Led Zeppelin disbanded in 1980 and has released very good albums. He didn't want to just be the former singer of Led Zeppelin forever but wanted to live out his own creativity. On his first album there is a song that is still in the Led Zeppelin style "Slow Dancer". A great piece of music.
his solo work is really cool, it doesn't get the attention it deserves
for a period, yes.. 25 years or more?.. . and recently he has done amazing work with Alison Krauss, a talented artist who writes and plays country, bluegrass and singer-songwriter folk. I was born in 73.. and grew up hearing Zep and many others on the radio and from my parents LP collections.. but I was "coming of age" when Plant was rising as a solo artist. I was "blessed (I am an atheist hahah), to get to see Plant live, 2 times, after he released Now and Zen and Manic Nirvana. These 2 albums are FANTASTIC... but he had some amazing gems, that predate these two albums.. this is one of them. SIX START SONG ON A SCALE OF 1-5.. ;)
One of my favorite songs since the day it was released
