Bill, you lucky dog!

Hmmm, guess this is old news! Are you planning to go?

first i've heard of it but i'm sure as hell gonna try to score some tkts. no info available as of yet.

holy crap, t-bone is going out with them!

oh damn.

oh damn is right...I would absolutely love to go....a bit too rich for my wallet though.

I think I am going to break down and go to this...

Weird, they're playing 4 B markets then heading to Europe...

Bill - did you get tix... are you? (duh.)

let me know. i wanna gooooo.

If you're planning to buy tickets for a Birmingham show, be careful where you click!

they go on sale fri, 01.25.

hhmm..I get in at 12:00 PM on the dot and the best available is balcony 1 Row t on the far right.

I got 2 anyway, but ticketmaster seems so shady sometimes.

We got in right after 10 am and had probably four different sets of seats disappear from under us before getting three, stage left, right off the floor in Birmingham, AL. Can't wait!

So Bill, Did you end up with tickets or not to the Louisville show?

Hey Bill!!... and anyone else who didn't get tickets...

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss added a Saturday show, April 19th to the Louisville Palace. Tickets on sale Friday Feb 8th.

If I could, I would try again to get better seats.

Thank you! I would not have known about the second show otherwise.

I'm in! they seemed to be going very fast, and I imagine a bunch were pre-sold, but I'm in!

Great to hear it! Have fun!

sheesh. can't ANYONE play in Michigan these days!?!

It's a smaller market and out of the way, unfortunately. It happened a lot when I lived there.



So um...holy fúck. I just watched the CMT Crossroads DVD I downloaded of Robert and Alison. Holy. Freaking. Crap. I wish i could afford to see this. Awesome version of "When The Levee Breaks." Hopefully some of that kind of stuff will make it on the inevitable live album next year.

A couple of dates out this way have been added. Thanks Carolyn!

June 8, 3008 - Borgata, Atlantic City
Doors open at 7PM, show at 8PM.

Looks as though money isn't everything to Robert Plant. Making music with Alison Krauss and T. Bone is apparently what matters to him right now.

"Robert Plant has turned down an extra £100million (approximately $200 million)fortune to take Led Zeppelin on a world tour.

The rock legend wants to concentrate on his new partnership with US country singer Alison Krauss... spelling the likely end of the famous band."

Robert Plant says No to Led Zeppelin Tour

He's not the only one excited about this tour!

Well it's not like he needs the extra £s, and I know who I'd rather go out on the road with!



I'm really looking forward to their NYC performance.

Me too! The funny thing is - even though I have Raising Sand and have seen them on Youtube, I still haven't quite got over the fact that the 2 of them are making music together. It's still so freshly amazing and wonderful to me.

Lenny and I and two friends have tickets to see them at Red Rocks in June. Oh yes.
Just scored them this am.

OOOH they are playing the Fox Theatre in Detroit. I'm totally there (after my next paycheck.. haha.)

you had better keep an eye out for when they go on sale. the first show here sold out in like 6 minutes. the second took a lot longer, i think it was 15 minutes.

The best thing that could have happened to Mr. Plant......meeting Alison. I love Rising Sand...much better than any Plant solo album by far . Thanx Alison.

I bought tickets for the show in Asheville, NC. The girlfriend and I will make a day of it -- drive over from Charlotte, hang out in Asheville all day (I've never been!), grab dinner somewhere and see the show. Sounds like a can't-miss day of fun!

This is such a good album.

Robert Plant + Allison Krauss + Fox Theatre, Detroit MI= Awesome date.

The album is unbelievable, I love it.

Agreed!
This is where I'd rather go to see the show -- I looove the Fox -- but it doesn't look like I'll actually be in Detroit then.
So I'll have to settle for Asheville. I doubt that the venue can compare to the Fox, but I've heard great things about the city and I'm looking forward to seeing it.

We're going tonight to what originally was the opening date. I am really excited!

I LOVE the Fox, but I do wish Detroit had a bit more to walk around and see. Hopefully someday it'll be a bit more visitor friendly.

The sad part is, when I was there last summer to see Silverchair at St. Andrew's, the city looked a thousand times better than it did a few years earlier when I moved away. It's getting better, but there's still a really, really long way to go.

Abso-frickin'-lutely Awesome!! Lots more Zeppelin and Alison stuff than I expected, plus two T-bone and band performances, plus Buddy Miller on guitar with 'em. The new takes on the old Zeppelin classics were very cool.

I didn't write down any set list and I am horrible at writing reviews, but trust me, go to this tour if you can!

We are on Saturday night in Birmingham. Can't wait! Sounds way cool.

Can't wait! Have tickets to the show in Atlantic City at the Borgata and also for NYC at the WaMu. Actually, I have an extra pair of tickets that I'm interested in selling for the Borgata. The venue is not big, and the seats are in the risers. PM if interested.

I like St.Andrew's a lot. Hopefully Detroit will keep going in the right direction.

I was wondering if they would do zep covers! woo hoooo!

Oh, do they ever! Last night in Birmingham, they must have done at least seven. The highlight for me was The Battle of Evermore.

If you can get tickets, go, go go ... you will not be sorry!

(and Buddy Miller plays guitar in the band ... )

the boyfriend's leave went through so I am officially going to see them next month. whee! I am very curious about the covers.

Okay, if all Blue Grass rocked like this, then maybe I would listen to it more...

Black Dog

Heh...agreed.

Holy shit that is awesome!!!!! HOLY crap.

if led zeppelin had had soul like that, i would've listened to them more.

Wow. Thanks for posting that -- I'm now more excited than ever for the Asheville show!

Who needs that when you have pure sonic destruction...and John Bonham?

Saw the show last night with my son and his friend at the Borgata in Atlantic City; what a top-notch group of musicians playing great songs to a truly enthusiastic crowd! There were a number of Zepelin covers, Black Dog, Battle of Evermore, I'm in the Mood (for a Melody). Battle of Evermore was one of the highlights for me, but the whole roll out of show, from song sequencing to musicianship, etc, was spectacular.

My son who went with me originally was not fond at all of what he heard on the CD, but his friend was. A number of people at the show were commenting afterwards at how they liked the CD very much, but that the presentation of these songs live made the CD pale in comparison. The songs were given so much more depth live, as it seems so much has been added to them.

Robert mentioned at the show, as he has in intereviews, that this "project" is evolving. It certainly is evolving to our benefit. What fun it must be for them to be part of this.

Go see them if you can!

Andrew (the boyfriend) and I saw them last Tuesday night. This was SUCH good show. Everyone is so incredibly talented. They played the same setlist as they had at past shows. I loved the cover of Black Country Woman and Down to the River to Pray. The Fox is also a beautiful venue so it just made it that much better.

We saw them at Red Rocks last night. They were awesome. They did some solo stuff, covers of Zep, T-Bone did some solos, too.
The opener, Sharon Little was very good, I thought...worth investigation.
Worth the $$, plus it was a very beautiful night under the stars up in the red rocks.
