The other day I got a call from my parents inviting me to the Robert Plant concert... the first thing that crossed my mind was "who the fuck is Robert Plant?". As my mom hummed lyrics to Zepplin songs over the phone I realized that I did know who he was, but it took some convincing before I finally agreed to go with my family to the concert (actually, a free dinner was offered...that is all it took...).
After dinner, and two pints of beer I entered into the JLC for the concert, and I still really had no idea what to expect. The Trews opened the show and I was pretty amazed that I recognized and enjoyed there music (I am sure rock fans everywhere want to spit in my face, but I do speak the truth). After there short stint on stage, loud cheering erupted welcoming the main act...
The band entered and then outcame Plant just rocking out to his fellow bandmates. The first sonf of the show I didn't recognize, but he did stick to a Zepplin playlist (Whole lotta love, etc...) however, he did not play Stairway to Heaven (to which the crowd was shocked leaving the arena in crushed hopes that it would have been the second encore).
I didn't mean to underestimate Plant, but let me tell you, this guy can move. He yelled out that he had been "chemical free for 27 years"...and that all he has is "a good sense of humour". and you could see this through his witty comments here and there.
I am not sure if it was the beers drank, the smell of mary jane in the crowd (sorry about that last post by the way) but man can this man still rock after 30 years being a part of one of the best bands in rock history...
Spoken like a true rock fan, lol...now I consider myself a die hard...p.s. I will post my personal pics later.
