his new albums brilliant!!

the new band are called

"Robert Plant and the strange sensation"

funny though all the UK gigs on ticketmaster say robert Plant and the strange sensation but the two Dublin gigs just say Robert plant with support from the legendary shack shakers. so i dont know what he's going to do, i got some of the legendary shack shakers stuff to see what their like and their a bit weird but all the reviews ive read of them say that their the best live act you'll ever see!! so im getting there early

evil_sausage I would gladly take one off your hands for Friday night, early christmas present for a massive Led fan. I have a thread going in the Wanted Tickets section. PM me if you have one for sale.
Thanks Roddy

Evil Sausage · 09-12-2005 10:53am

Wont bother PMing you, best to do it on the boards!

It was 45 for the ticket excluding booking fee. But sure we'll leave it at 45. You based in Dublin? Can you meet up during the day?

Roddy23 · 09-12-2005 11:11am

Evil Sausage · 09-12-2005 11:22am

Yup, row I, seat 15. You can get the seating plan from ticketmaster to get a general idea of where it is.

Roddy23 · 09-12-2005 11:22am

spiderlegs · 09-12-2005 12:42pm

Woohoo...I'm going to see Robert Plant in less than ten hours!!!!

showtime · 09-12-2005 12:44pm

i'm not going till tomorrow, make sure you come back here and say what he was like, what he played ect?

LundiMardi · 09-12-2005 5:26pm

who's supporting? i'm heading in an hour or so:D

Tusky · 10-12-2005 1:40am

was it good ? What did he play?

LundiMardi · 10-12-2005 2:01am

it was good... lots of new stuff, he played black dog, when the levee breaks, going to california, what is and what should not be and whole lotta love, as well as gallows pole... His new stuff is pretty good, but the crowd went wild when the zeppelin came on!!!

Support band were *ok*, they had a diabolical sound, but the harmonica was excellent!!!

Evil Sausage · 10-12-2005 9:21am

Yeah, the Zep stuff was great, but Im still not sure on his version of Black Dog. They took the riff out, and thats pretty much the song!!

And a rather suspect version of Hey Joe. But I do like the new album and he can still get a good wail going. Far more Zep tunes than I was expecting I have to say. Great show altogether!

Roddy23 · 10-12-2005 11:05am

Thats was quality. These are all the tracks i remember:
shine it all around remix
Black Dog
Let the 4 winds blow
hey joe
what is and should have been
tin pan valley
when the levee breaks
gallows pole
shine it all around
whole lotta love

That shine it al around remix before he took the stage was pretty good. Hey joe was probaly the worst tune, but it was still a cracking gig. Whole lotta love - what an ending.
Sausage did ye sell yer ticket in the end, sorry bout the whole ticket thing.

LundiMardi · 10-12-2005 11:42am

his voice was fantastic though i have to say!!!!

Roddy23 · 10-12-2005 11:44am

he proves that ye can have a perm and still be cool.

Evil Sausage · 10-12-2005 12:22pm

I did Roddy, actually I had a few offers from the brother in law. He had snapped up all my remaining tickets before I was talking to you and when you passed, he snapped up the last 1. No bothers.

Yeah, superb show, the man still has it. Couple of moments, even with the new material, where the band just took off and he'd strike one of his poses and you'd get goosbumps. Ace!

honru · 10-12-2005 1:23pm

If you hazed your eyes a bit, it was... Zeppelin! Live!

Mucho surprised by the amount of Led material, thought we'd only get Whole Lotta Love or something along those lines. His voice has held up extremely well; can still belt out them old tunes without a hitch.

For those going tonight support The Legendary Shack*Shakers are definetly worth seeing for their eccentric frontman. They put on quite a show.

Sweetness! · 10-12-2005 8:00pm

Best gig I've been to all year. I still can't believe I saw Robert Plant live and I didn't think he would play that much Zeppelin, it was amazing! I thought the support were pretty good aswell

Blisterman · 11-12-2005 1:03pm

You're making me feel bad now.

Evil Sausage · 11-12-2005 1:19pm

Anyone at last nights show? Any reports? Same as Friday?

Tusky · 11-12-2005 1:27pm

No, he didnt play gallows pole ( my favourite zeppelin song ) BUT he did play ramble on....which almost made up for it.

spiderlegs · 11-12-2005 8:46pm

I saw him Friday. Robert Plant was truly amazing!! He had insense lighting on stage his voice is still brilliant and he played zeppelin stuff...I smiled so much during the gig that my face actually began to hurt!! I am so happy that I saw Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin it was sooo great....I'm still smiling about it

showtime · 12-12-2005 10:20am

i was there on sat night, from the sounds of it, it was much the same as fri only he didnt play gallows pole or what is and what should never be on sat night but he did play, going to california and ramble on. lots of the songs had new arrangements, like the riff in black dog was basically the same riff with a tottally different time sig. and they took the riff out of no quarter which tottaly killed me. did anyone elese notice that the guitarist on the left was the spitting image of aragorn from lord of the rings??

the legendary shack shakers were an amazing live acted but their songs lacked and you could understand a word the singer was saying although he was one of the most energetic frontmen ive ever seen, and an awesome sight to behold. i was right up the front in the pit so that made it even better. deffenitly one of the best gigs of the year. the man has still got it.

the last thing he said was "look out for festivals in the summer" so this probably means they'll be back either at oxegen or electric picnic or something.

what a gig!

it would have been funny if he had tried to crowd surf

JMArr · 13-12-2005 6:42pm

aw man I'm sooo gutted I missed him..and all those zep tunes ! Feck.
I dont think Zep played When the Levee Breaks that much live AFAIK (if ever?) so that would have been amazing ..If he had played The Lemon Song I would have fainted I'd say ..or Since I've been loving you ...def one of the best voices EVER! ps was he wearing tight trousers ..could you make out the lemon????:-D

wwwwoaaaaaaaarrrrggggghhhhh ! I've been crying oh-oh ohh

Robert Plant in dublin this weekend!
