LIVE ROBERT PLANT DVD
Robert Plant is about to release his first official solo DVD! It’s a Strange Sensation concert recorded last autumn in Chicago for Soundstage, a concert series for PBS television.
People who have already have seen a preview of the show state that it’s the best Robert Plant performance for television in quite some time and erases memories of an erratic show he did for PBS’s „Austin City Limits“ during the „Dreamland“ tour. This concert starts out tentatively with the acoustic „No Quarter“ and starts to find its feet with „Shine It All Around,“ the second song of night. It’s after „Black Dog,“ though, that Robert’s voice starts to warm up on a spritely „Freedom Fries.“ A fantastic „Four Sticks“ follows next and the band continues to add oil to the flames on „Tin Pan Valley“ and „The Enchanter.“ A torrid „Whole Lotta Love“ closes the show, which seems to have been recorded in a TV studio. While the show isn’t on par with the best of Strange Sensation shows, it’s very pleasing nonetheless and Robert’s voice is powerful throughout even if he doesn’t reach for the high notes he has been known to hit during some of the Strange Sensation shows. I can’t wait to see the DVD release for the bonus tracks. For more details on the show, see: http://www.pbs.org/wttw/soundstage/rplant/featured.htm.
