I’m a gigantic Robert Plant fan for a very long time now. All his interviews are very insightful as well. He has an amazing discography, you should check Robert solo out. He is a beautiful soul, very intelligent and a charming gentleman. I just saw him with Alison Krauss and his voice is still awesome as he has redefined it over the years. He just turned 74 on Saturday this man is an icon. A living legend …the GOAT🐐thanks for the great video. It gets me in the feels just several others do.☮️
Jimmy Page was inducted into the Rock and Roll HOF for his work solely on the Yardbirds. He was later inducted again for Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Page was the most accomplished session guitarist in London prior to joining the Yardbirds. He performed on more than 600 records across all genres of music. Some of the songs he played on include: Petula Clark's "Downtown," Tom Jones'"It's Not Unusual," and the title song for the James Bond film "Goldfinger." John Paul Jones was also a highly accomplished session musician prior to Zeppelin. Jimmy and JPJ were master musicians, and Robert and Bonham were basically kids....super talented, but relatively inexperienced.
Robert done a beautiful version of Song to the Siren a Tim Buckley song . He sings it with such passion. I admire Robert for the diverse musical history he created post Zeppelin . And love his continued collaboration with Alison Krauss . ❤️❤️❤️
Helene here. Robert is my favorite male vocalist ever…and a fascinating man. And yet, that is the one song I’ve heard him cover that I do not think his voice is suited for. He sings it in the same fashion as Sinaid O’Conner does, but he lacks the nimbleness of voice and pinpoint accuracy needed for the Celtic style…..IMO. I almost feel guilty saying it, but……..he can’t be brilliant at everything, right?
There are better films to watch on the life and work of Planty. His incredibly close friendship with Bonzo that began in teenage years went unnoticed. Bonzo really held Robert close after his son died, and the impact on Robert of Bonzo's death just a few years later is hard to imagine. Led Zeppelin, for Robert, died with Bonzo - no question. And as much as he loves Jason and admires his work, he told him after the 02 concert that Led Zeppelin can never exist again without his Dad.
Check out George Harrison, no one in the rock world embraced Indian music more than he did and he went as far as learning how to play the Sitar, early works by him will be found on the album "Revolver" but he didn't stop there!
Also his "Raise the Roof" is the second collaborative studio album with bluegrass-country singer Alison Krauss. The album was released on November 19, 2021, by Rounder Records and Concord Records in the United States and Warner Music for the rest of the world. You should check out some music of theirs.
I’m a deep fan of Robert and have watched numerous interviews. If you want suggestions or links let me know! Best interviews of Robert are the Dan Rather interview from 2018 on Rather”s The Big Interview series, and the series Robert Plant; By Myself produced by the BBC. A very short clip of Robert’s Tribute to Jimmy Page is moving and very revealing about their relationship
@@antarcticorb9197 Ha! If only! I would have loved to been Zep's version of the Beatles' Freda Kelly who was their "Girl Friday", answered phones, managed the office and the fan club, etc. The stories she's got! I would have *died* to have such a job!!
His most recent endeavors have made him fairly Tennessee-centric. He is frequently spotted in Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama. He told Rick Rubin, the music producer, that he likes to drive from Nashville down to Clarksdale Mississippi (in his Ford Crown Victoria 😁) and hang out with old school blues guys. About 2 months ago he was hanging out at the Muscle Shoals recording studio in Alabama. The hour-long Rick Rubin conversation is on TH-cam.
JPJ and Jimmy were highly successful session musicians! Then Jimmy was in the Yardbirds. No...Stairway was NOT stolen! It was very emotional for me too
@5:57 - Did the Yardbirds have commercial success? I very big YES to that question. If you want to have fun - see who the guitarists for the Yardbirds have been. Then make a list of the top 5 guitarists of all time. 3 of them were in the Yardbirds. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Yardbirds The Yardbirds are an English rock band, formed in London in 1963. The band's core lineup featured vocalist and harmonica player Keith Relf, drummer Jim McCarty, rhythm guitarist and later bassist Chris Dreja and bassist/producer Paul Samwell-Smith. The band is known for starting the careers of three of rock's most famous guitarists, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck, all of whom ranked in the top five of Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 greatest guitarists.[4] The band had a string of hits throughout the mid-1960s, including "For Your Love", "Heart Full of Soul", "Shapes of Things" and "Over Under Sideways Down".
Sal….as others and I have suggested, one of the funniest interviews of Page, Plant and JPJ is their one with David Letterman in 2012 just after the Kennedy Center Honors. It’s a hoot and you really need to see it! 😁
You have to please listen to the version of kashmir been mentioned in the video from the 1994 no Quarter concert. Even if you do not do it as a reaction, it's definitely worth listen to it. It's my late husband and my favorite of the song. Also the version of of since I've been loving you is very nice!!
Look up The Back Pages. Jimmy was handed the rights to the YardBirds. The band was famous, they just fell apart, but still had tour dates in 68. The commitment was fulfilled with the new members. In 69 Led Zeppelin. Search Led Zeppelin color 1968 Dazed and confused.
The yardbirds, cream, traffic, Blindfaith Pink floyd,and others were part of a second british invasion. They were all commercially successful. It was a new era in rock offering us a change from the Beatles, kinks Hollies etc. from the mid-sixties. Zeppelin grew out of that new music and took it to a top level becoming the greatest band of them all.
FYI. SalvoG....Page and Jones were successful session guys in England playing on internationally famous artists records, but it was Page not Jones that joined the Yardbirds, after Jeff Beck, who succeeded Eric Clapton.
The Yardbirds are worth checking out. The three greatest guitarists played in this group, which were Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. Eric was replaced by Jeff Beck who produced most of the Yardbirds hits. Jeff was , and still is the best guitarist of the three. Jeff is the guitarist guitarist! Neil from Sydney Australia.
As much as i love Jeff Beck and do believe he never gets his fair share of credit. The bulk of the band's most successful self-written songs came from bassist/producer Paul Samwell-Smith I'm a big Yardbird fan.. I have never heard or read where Beck produced any Yardbirds tunes.
In my humble opinion I love these guitarists...but every guitar player has their own way.. Period! All three Yardbird guitarists have had great success, and a great catalog to be sure
This mini-doc on Robert stops with 2014 and his Lullaby and the Ceaseless Roar album. He’s done two albums since then;Carry Fire, snd his second with Alison Krauss Raise the Roof. Both excellent. If you want a feel for what he does now, listen to Cuatro from Raise the Roof, or the song Carry Fire. Here is a link to a live version of Carry Fire wonderfully infused with Middle Eastern flavor th-cam.com/video/Z4UD8DKAu04/w-d-xo.html
Sal, if you love Indian influenced music, check out some of the Beatles music..and George Harrison’s solo work. A great example is Within You and Without You.
Plant attended the LSE as did Mick Jagger. I suppose people attend the LSE in order to cement in their minds how much they don't want to be accountants. Mind you, when you consider how many people in the music business have been ripped off, it's probably a skill that's come in very handy.
The Yardbirds we're a great band. Something you should explore. Managed by Peter Grant, at one time they had Clapton, Beck, and Page as guitarists. When they split up, the Yardbirds still had to fulfill their touring contract, and that's when Page assembled Zeppelin, at first calling them the New Yardbirds. They had a few hits, and were the precursors with their rock/pop/psychedelic sound. Fantastic band.
The Yardbirds were a very good band. Definite listen. How sad for Robert to loose his child. Eric Clapton also had a similar tragedy. 'Tears of Heaven' was a result. An immensely emotional song. I had no idea Robert was influenced by Indian music but it makes sense. But Bonham's loss was tragic! What a series of challenges to overcome. I did not have an idea of the depth of his life. Thank you! To see a cameo of Plant and his humor watch this interesting 'This Is Your Life' episode for Phil Collins. They are great, long time friends. Phil's dad was an insurance salesman and did not approve of Collins choice of profession. Funny that their dad's were so similar. Both men (Plant and Collins) were/are full of confidence. Watch Robert's humorous kitchen scene: th-cam.com/video/YPn2FQpWz0k/w-d-xo.html
If you like North African and Middle Eastern sounds, might I suggest reacting to the Page/Plant reworking of Kashmir from their No Quarter tour which uses an Egyptian orchestra? Very cool O your own, Sal, you might wish to dive into some of Plant’s solo work that carries that same vibe, such as the song Slow Dancer, or the later song Calling to You
They meant Page and Jones were successful as session musicians. They played in recording studios with a lot of bands on a lot of hit singles. Jimmy Page was later successful with the Yardbirds but the rest of the band eventually left, leaving Jimmy to form a new band whom he originally named The New Yardbirds before changing the name to Led Zeppelin.
Post WWII days in the UK were very different than they were in the US, their economic rebuild was very slow and well into the 60's before real change began to happen). No surprise his father wasn't supportive of Roberts choice to follow music, he would have seen it as a poor choice for the future.
The Yardbirds where a successful and popular band, though their music sounds pretty dated at this point. By the time Page was in charge of the Yardbirds their popularity had begun to wain some which led to them breaking up, and being reformed as the New Yardbirds/Led Zeppelin. John Paul Jones was never in the Yardbirds but was a successful studio musician.

ROBERT PLANT is an awesome human being!
Robert Plant is a stellar human❤❤❤❤
He sure has had his share of pain and heartache but he's a trooper for sure. Love Planty !!
More than his share I think
Just saw Robert and Alison Krauss in concert last Sunday in an outdoor venue on a perfect summer night. It was wonderful!
Robert always inspires me to live fully, through the up's and down's, and always always be myself, and be quietly bold in that.
The Yardbirds had three iconic guitar players at different times, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton. 🎸🎸🎸
I love Kashmir in its original form
The version with the Egyptian orchestra is beautiful , differently beautiful.
Try. It
Robert detested accounting. He lasted about three weeks. He tried to do it for his father, but just couldn’t stand it. Totally alien to his character.

You may already know but the song “All of my love “ was written by Robert about his son. Very emotional beautiful song.
The name of the song is: "All My Love"
God I can’t listen without crying
YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO LISTEN TO "KASHMIR" PERFORMED BY PLANT AND PAGE WITH THE EGYPTIAN ORCHESTRA! Love watching your videos. Cheers from Egypt.
Robert done a beautiful version of Song to the Siren a Tim Buckley song . He sings it with such passion. I admire Robert for the diverse musical history he created post Zeppelin . And love his continued collaboration with Alison Krauss . ❤️❤️❤️

Robert is very smart. Jones and Jimmy were well known studio musicians. Jimmy was an amazing kid.
Really enjoyed this. It's always a treat to hear from Robert Plant.
Just my 2 cents, but yes, the yardbirds were big. Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy page all played guitar for the band at one time or another.
Yardbirds “Heart full of soul”. Yeah go for it.
Agree-
Robert is quite a man ✨
For certain check out the Yardbirds. Over Under Sideways Down.
Cheers
They were studio musicians.jimmy and jpj

Must REACT to "coke studio"videos (for eastern/middle eastern music) ENDLESS ULTRA QUALITY CONTENT 👌🏻
Love the idea of doing bio-pics or documentaries about bands/acts. People don’t do that. Could be a niche.
Check out Soul Train Bro’s archived videos. He did allot of reactions to interviews of the members of Zeppelin.
Jimmy Page went to art school. Many rockers are educated men.
Yardbirds toured the US in the 60s ..The band spawned many more well known artist .
You'll like Donovan's songs better than Yardbirds I think as far as Page/Jones pre-Zep collabs.
If you're going to react to an interview with Bonzo, I think there's only one known interview from 1980
