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.❤
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.
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.
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 !
Proof we had the best of the best. Luckily we still do. Robert Plant and Allison Krause singing Calexio's Quattro is life-changing. Thanks for posting this.
"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".
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.
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
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.
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!
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!
Robert Plant eu sou fã de Carteira desde que eu era adolescente ele já cantava na banda LED Zeppelin e .mim encantava com sua beleza e seu charme. Ele o vocalista mais lindo dos anos 70 80 elegante lindo charmoso e belas músicas meus parabéns gato 👏 👏👏👏👏
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
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,....
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.

There were a LOT of head tosses! Lol.
He's just cool, plain and simple. The way he sings, moves are all so smooth. Love Robert Plant.

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?
Still looking fantastic! Love him to this day!!
I can't believe how good he sounds live. Awesome voice.

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
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?😂
Robert Plant, look at him, still awesome now. He owns that stage, great vid.
Ini solo Robert plant..yg begitu bersih di suaranya yang begitu tinggi..
This was my chill song back in the late 80s. One of the most gorgeous songs ever
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
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.
What a performance, one of the most nostalgic songs of all time...
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!

Love Doug Boyle's sigh of relief when he's done playing.
"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
@@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".
@@alexkx8599 Now & Zen and Shaken N Stirred are my 2 favorites.
Shaken and stirred is my all time favorite Plant lp then Dreamland

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 sounds really great here
Classic great tune
This is probably the best solo song and studio recording of his career and life.
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!
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!
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.
Plant is like from another planet.
?? How so??
May I rest for awhile beside ❤

Seen you guys on manic Nirvana tour in Philadelphia goddamn when you opened with watching you I lost my fuckin mind
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.
My favorite ❤️
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!
My favorite Robert Plant solo work.
Lindooo hermosooo 😍😘

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
Also an always recognizable voice. I mourn the time musically very - greetings in the eighties ;-)
A stunningly beautiful head of hair.
Beautiful guitar arrangement and sound!
Doug Boyle really helped set the tone for the album with his magical fingers. Excruciatingly beautiful music
He is a master at getting his own lyrics wrong! Always has been...gotta love it!
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?

Amo essa música ♥️🌹
I love this song ...apply now more than then ...59..alone ..nope...i Hope....I can turn this around... ✌🏻🙂💛
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!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤

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
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.
