If I remember correctly, he did some solo stuff and yes, he has that same boom sound as his father.

thanks for posting these, chris.


I believe my first crush was of robert plant after watching this video.



i just remember sitting there watching him and being completely mesmerized. I couldnt' take my eyes off of him while he was shaking his hips in those low-cut pants

of course the music i didn't really care for. i grew up on this stuff, but i was too busy listening to NKOTB and paula abdul I did smarten up though


well. I still listen to them sometimes

I hate to admit it, but this sounds like ****! I know that Jimmy Page hasn't played a full show in a very long time, and I realize that Plant lost much of his range... But it was sloppy and way out of tune. I do respect the fact that it's just the four of them doing this without a lot of help (well, not including the echo/delay effect on the vocal mic), but it sometimes verges on a bad cover band.

Oh, the Zeppelanity!

I really liked it. It was far from perfect, but "sounds like [shiitte]" -- OUCH

I am sure it will be cleaned up for the DVD.

I really don't see how they can salvage some of this performance for a DVD; there are some moments that are so douche-chillingly bad. Just listen again to the last verse of "Stairway to Heaven," and the totally botched note in "There walks a LA-dy we all know..." That has to be any singer's nightmare. And the song was in a much, much lower key than the original to begin with...

But, okay, I will admit that "Kashmir" was just a hair shy of brilliant. It's amazing that just three instrumentalists can make such a big sound; indeed, John Paul Jones (who's looking very good!) has proved why he was such an essential element of LZ.

I too am bummed that there was nothing from In Through the Outdoor," but then again, they would have had to bring in an extra musician to handle all of the keyboards. I have always thought "In the Evening" rocked harder than just about anything they've ever done. And I'm one of the 6 people in the world who absolutely loves "Carouselambra." Oh well...

Other than the comment about Plant losing his range, your comment pretty much describes a Zeppelin concert in their prime, as well. Zeppelin has never been all that great in concert even when they were still in their 20's. Page is one of the sloppiest live guitarists I've ever heard (he's a monster in the studio, but he just sucks live). The only time I've heard Page sound good live was when he did that tour with The Black Crowes. And, mainly because he had two guitarists backing him up. When he stands alone in what is virtually a power trio, he's crap.

To be fair, his finger is still broken.
What do you attribute Page's sloppiness to?

He certainly has, although he made a little more slick hardrock. And I always had the impression his dad did more intuitive things. And was more experimental in the sounds of his drumwork. But a big hardhitter it is. And like hÃ*s dad he can be an elephant in a pocelainstore without breaking anything.
