Haven't heard any of his solo stuff.

 

[aidanjm]

thought he would have been dead by now

 

[DainBramaged]

Seems like a lot of the band died from mysterious circumstances. Just a vague recollection though.

What the heck are you talking about? John Bohnam, the drummer for Led Zeppelin, died in 1980. Nobody since his solo career has died.

Anyway, I'd love to go see him, but MAN is he looking bad these days. He gained like 50 lbs and his face is sagging down to his chest. His voice isn't as good as it used to be either (still 8 notches above most singers today though ).

Here's a link to a free stream of his new single "Shine On":

[Johnnie]

I will attend

Does he have NEW solo stuff?

Now and Zen was a freaking AWESOME album, but I lost track of him during the whole Plant & Page era in the 90's. Sounded too much like trying to re-live the past.

 

[chuckywang]

what kind of songs is he gonna play?

[Slickone]

Anyone have his new album yet?

 

[EvilYoda]

I think I'm going to catch this show...my friend brought it up when we saw the Jimmy Chamberlain Complex a few weeks back. I'd love to hear some of his new stuff, but would definitely be hoping for a good Zep set too.

 

[Slickone]

It sold out here in less than a week. I got my $75+ tix, but hell it's only money. I figure this could be the last time I ever get to see him.

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
In the weeks leading up to this album's release, Robert Plant was the unlikely hit at the South By Southwest music festival, delivering such a scorching set with his band the Strange Sensation rockers a quarter of his age simply got back on their planes and went home without playing a note. This can most likely be attributed to the fact that, unlike most his classic rock peers, Plant has rarely settled since moving on from the Led Zeppelin behemoth. Over the course of eight solo albums, he's experimented with doo-wop, synth-pop and even drum'n' bass. But it's only at 56 that the Golden God is hitting his stride. On "Tin Pan Valley," he sings, "My peers may flirt with cabaret/ Some fake the rebel yell/ Me, I'm moving up higher ground/ I must escape their hell." Mighty Rearranger draws out the best qualities of his otherworldly voice, surrounding it with rich Middle Eastern textures, soft blues accents and gorgeous psychedelic swooshes. It's in keeping with the spirit of 2002's exotic and lush Dreamland, only it sounds more refined. The quiet bits are quieter and the loud bits are timely reminders that Plant was once a man possessed by a dozen dead wolverines. He's not kidding when on "Shine It All Around," he sings, "These are the days of my life/ Bright, strong and golden." --Aidin Vaziri

KCRW Robert Plant live

:thumbsup:

 

[mrrman]

heard a song on 1077 The Bone the other day...sounded pretty good, cant recall the song though

 

[Pacfanweb]

God, his voice is beyond gone. No high register whatsoever, and it's been that way since the late 80's.
That song in the link doesn't even sound like him.
It's a good thing he isn't doing much Zeppelin now.....unless he has his band tune way down, he really can't sing most of it anymore.

 

[Johnnie]

God, his voice is beyond gone.

Nope... saw his show 6-30-05 here in Atlanta and I must say Robert has not lost a thing!!
This was my 5th time seeing him... first show in '90 VA, '92 GA, '95 2 nights with Page GA....and it was his best in my opinion!!!

 

[EvilYoda]

he was here tonight and I had to miss it

 

[Doggiedog]

Woot!

Met him in person a while back.

 

[chuckywang]

I liked the songs Darkness, Darkness and 29 Palms.
