tangerineman Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Ironically, Plant's new band is actually the one that would have the most appeal to a so-called "jamband" crowd (save for a certain quartet of which he was once a member for 12 years, that is).

gentlemonkey Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 really though, you have to admit he's not offering much beyond pure nostalgia- which is fine for some. I would probably stick around and check out his set if I was there, but i would have to be... 'Soo high... most high' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 really though, you have to admit he's not offering much beyond pure nostalgia- which is fine for some. I would probably stick around and check out his set if I was there, but i would have to be... 'Soo high... most high' I guess by the above statement that you haven't heard Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation's newest album 'Mighty Rearranger?'It is an excellent album by any artist, let alone one of Robert Plant's age.At the show at the Molson Amphitheatre which had a huge crowd, the 'Mighty Rearranger' material was very well received and not just his debut single off the album "Shine it all Around." Much of the crowd were on their feet for songs like "Tin Pan Valley" and the title track.A highlight of the show would also be another new song "the Enchanter." It is a beautiful song, though it might have been best to leave it out of the encore sandwiched between "Baby I'm Gonna Leave You" and "Whole Lotta Love."Funnily enough when Plant introduced "Morning Dew" he went into how it was cowritten with Bonnie Dobson who is a Canadian who now lives in the United Kingdom. He then said that the Grateful Dead covered the song which got a large applause. Then Plant stated "You can always check out what kind of audience you have by name dropping the Grateful Dead."Also Plant became the mighty rearranger when it came to him reinterpreting his Led Zeppelin back catalogue. Songs like "No Quarter," "Black Dog," "Heartbreaker," "Gallows Pole" and "When the Levee Breaks" were quite different from the original Zeppelin recordings.Personal highlights for me were first timers "Hey, Hey What Can I Do" and "When the Levee Breaks" as well as "Tin Pan Valley," "Mighty Rearranger," "That's the Way," "Gallow's Pole" and "Whole Lotta Love."I haven't missed Plant performing in Toronto since 1993 and I have to say that this was a great Plant gig and everyone I know that attended it felt the same.It was much better received than his first Strange Sensations tour that came to Massey Hall in 2001 where they for the most part focussd on relatively obscure covers like "Bummer in the Summer," "7 and 7 is," "A House Is Not a Motel," and "Song to the Siren."Here is the setlist of the Molson Amphitheatre gig:Start time 8:44PMIntro music from album8:48PM1.

I havent heard the album, but i have heard the single and I thought it was tremendously bad. I think I saw them preform it on Conan as well. I havent been too enthusiastic about any of Plant's post-Zeppelin offerings. I'm glad it was a fun show and a great crowd, though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Then Plant stated "You can always check out what kind of audience you have by name dropping the Grateful Dead."How true. How true indeeed. Thanks for the review TimmyB. I love reading your reports. Fack you see alot of live music. I may have to make you the Godfather for the child we have someday based on that fact.

Velvet Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 I'm guessing you were one of the only people at the show that could've written down the whole setlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dJEd Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 JPJ is the only member of LZ to do anything good post-zep. in my not so humble opinion of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 (edited) JPJ is the only member of LZ to do anything good post-zep. in my not so humble opinion of course. Jimmy Page admitted to quitting practicing guitar after Zep disbanded, evident in his awful guitar chops on albums by The Firm, the Outrider album and an early 80's benefit concert video for Amnesty International ( where Jeff Beck kicks both Clapton and Page's ass in a Yardbird guitar summit jam ). Page's playing improved to near Zeppelin and Yardbirds standards with the Coverdale/Page project and to a greater extent, with the collaboration with the Crowes, Live At The Greek. It's amazing what happens to guitar gods when they don't practice. Thankfully, Jimmy has " it " almost back again.

Jaimoe Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 I think at least one person on the Sanc was at that Crimson/Jones show.Jimmy took most of the important leads on the Greek album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't miss any Zeppelin related shows in the Golden Horseshoe, or King Crimson for that matter.John Paul Jones was good as the opener, but unfortunately he wasn't that well received. I saw Jones a year or two before at the Guvernment and that gig was amazing.Crimson were just insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 i really wish i went to that King Crimson/JPJ show that was at Massey a few years back. anyone go?I saw the Montreal show. JPJ was worth the price of admission alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dJEd Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 i think JPJ should play with KC. they change their lineup every 45 minutes anyway.
