What an amazing guy. I live in Kidderminster only 5 miles from him. He is the most polite and friendly man you could ever meet . Robert is the true legend and deserves that label too. As a lifelong fan people say never meet your hero’s. I have met him a couple of times, including out walking his dog . Most memorable respectful, friendly conservation I have had in my life. A legend and hero worth meeting
I live over in Smethwick, not far from where Phil Lynott was born in West Brom. When the first lockdown ended, my family and I took a walk around Kinver and we too bumped into him walking his dog. He was gracious enough to return my somewhat awestruck smile.
@@brendanpmaclean Wow Brendan , great yes he is such a nice guy. That is nice to hear They say never meet your heros, but he made a great impression on me. The first time I met him was in the late 80`s when I was a Mcdonalds manager in the old Kidderminster store. He had just played with a small band in the town centre raising money . I became very childlike and so glad this was before smart phones . ha ha ha

Every interview I've EVER watched with Robert Plant has always been fantastic! The man is so thoughtful, so charming, so charismatic, so well spoken...I cherish everything he does :)
He’s only 72. That’s not ancient. Former President Trump is 73, and Joe Biden is 78. So given that, 72 is not that old. Not that either of the presidents are very sharp. LOL
Robert Plant was always a legend and ahead of the times with his creative voice and poetic songs they inspired me as a teen. Amazing skills, one of a kind.
He was a fine looking young man! Just so sexy . I saw them in 72 and 73, they were outstanding! And they were all good looking! But Robert and Jimmy. Have mercy 😜
@@briano.5746 You’re right. I just thought it seemed a bit premature since most of them are still with us. Unlike some of the other greats that we have sadly lost recently.
Your thoughts are mine because I saw Zeppelin two times in Seattle and Robert on all his solo tours. Growing up in the 60s and 70s we had the best music to listen to and nobody can tell me differently
Very true. Led Zeppelin will never exist again, yet Robert Plant respects that legacy as it is revered in the 21st century. Great logic from one of the original Gods of true heavy metal.
Robert is such a gentleman. I've always loved his mind since I was a small girl. The lyrics are truly poems of the heart and mind. I'll be 90 and still rocking out to LZ!
Robert Plant is so interesting a guest - he's like a walking encyclopedia when it comes to blues ,skiffle and Rock-'n'-roll - and their place in the story of popular 20th century music. And - he's so modest. 👍
This is how interviews should be and indeed used to be. Intelligent, informed people trading experiences and opinions with no playing to the gallery and hysterical audiences cheering every phrase. It's great that Robert has kept his roots and his feet on the ground after all he's been through. Like others, I could listen to him for hours
He really is a beautiful soul....so gentle. Huge heart...down to earth. Grounded to his roots. Loving Father...wish i had Robert's energy...lol...I am 10 years younger...But have been through the wars health wise. Robert works so hard..To create such amazing music. Travelling touring..Sounds exhausting....Living his life to the max always...but stayed honest and unaffected by fame...Just love him.❤❤

Hello Sandra, Thanks for your love, and support all through this times, it's been a wonderful feeling performing for my fans around the world. Though I rarely comment here on my TH-cam pages, I was attracted by the emotions in your comment. I'll like we get along and keep in touch, if it's okay by you. Where are you streaming from?
I saw them at the Oakland (CA) Coliseum, August, 1977. Highlight, and bragging rights, of my life. A coworker was saying how he saw some band, I said "I've seen Led Zeppelin", he says "Well, that trumps everything". Indeed!
Thank you Robert. In the early 70s my best friends older brother took us to a Led Zep show at Cobo Hall in Detroit. Maybe because I was just a kid or maybe because it was my first concert I had ever been to but it literally changed my life. All these years and hundreds of concerts later nothing else can compare to that show. Thank you again Robert, you are my legend.
I think Robert Is the greatest! His voice after all these years is SUPERB...and he has never allowed himself to be stagnant. Not many others of his contemporaries have accomplished as much artistically. Luv him!
Robert Plant,Jimmy Page,john paul Jones and John Bonham will forever be a Band that lives through their music for generations to come ..The Greatest of All Time ..
Robert Plant has a unique way of speaking that always intrigues. Led Zeppelin was one of those "lightening-in-a-bottle" events like the Beatles and so forth. There's a depth and mystique in their songs like no other band. On top of that was much talent and a stage presence. Magical.
I in all truth, since 2015. Seeing him with the sensational space shifters. Then through his awesome podcast. I have become a bigger fan than I have ever been. And I never imagined being a bigger fan than I was in high school 40 years ago. But its true, he is a walking encyclopedia of music, all music that he keeps seeking. Digging for gems. Absolutely brilliant. Check out his band playing LIVE. RAINBOW, and CARRY FIRE. Incredible!!!
i never met him, but loved Led Zeppelin ever since I was little (im 25 now). One of my family friends met him at a restaurant and got his autograph for me bc she knew how much I admired him. I still have the autograph and keep it in a safe place:)
I’m so glad that Robert and Jimmy are still alive. They both look good for being in their 70s. When it’s time for them to pass away, it’s going to crush me. I would love to meet both of em.
If your 74 and you were a popular music buff in those days we all went to these shows called package tours in cinemas.and he’s younger than me.I remember seeing Zep at The Hornsey Wood Tavern Wood Green or Bluesville 69 on March the 7th 1969
RP is not only the best and most endearing lead singer in the world, but he’s also a walking talking musical encyclopedia. Could listen to him for days.
I bumped into Mr Plant on my 40th birthday, in Lyme Regis, UK. Couldn't believe no-one else had recognised him. I told him I loved 'Raising sand' and he leaned into my car window, looked at my girlfriend and said 'So far so good'. For some reason I called him 'bob' and asked where I could park(as if I'd known him for years). He let me have his parking space. He was very nice. I Shook his mighty hand and off he went in his robin reliant. Rest of my birthday was an anti-climax as it sunk in and I thought of all the other things I could have asked him, instead of where to fucking park.
That’s an awesome story !! I met him in a hotel in Peoria Illinois it was his first concert coming to America and he played in Peoria Illinois after Zepplin of course I was the worlds biggest Zepplin fan! But after the show we followed his limousines back to the hotel we waited in the lobby with probably 100 other people he finally came down off the elevator and he was mobbed by people ,he could see the three of us standing off to the side waiting to hopefully talk to him he came right up to us he was the nicest humblest superstar I’ve ever met he asked us how we like to show how we were doing where we were from he was like talking to one of your high school buddies very down to earth very nice! A few years later in Chicago I met Jimmy page after a Firm show he also was very nice but a bit more shy than Robert Roberts very gregarious and outgoing Jimmy was very nice took pictures with us and signed autographs for people but a bit more shy but very nice
It was an organic, real encounter. Be happy you had that connection. I would have been tongue tied. Good on you. I’m sure he appreciated the Raising Sand compliment as opposed to a gushing reaction to Kashmir for the thousandth time.
I always say the same thing. I met him briefly in a pub in Ireland. He threw his head back and sang a few classic notes, I told him I loved him and that Kashmir is greatest song ever written. I walked away and have never been the same. I’d sell my soul to spend a week with him listening and learning.
Robert is such a humble man …… giving his bands mates their share of the beautiful creations of Led Zeppelin’s work for all of those amazing years!! LZ is and will always be my most favorite band in existence!! Everything they’ve written and created are meaningful and exquisite!! I particularly love the blues influence!! Thank you LZ for everything!!

Dear friend, like you, I too have received thanks from an alleged Mr Robert Plant with that email address. In your opinion is it reliable? I await your feedback, thank you very much, Mariaconcetta.
@@neilpeartspurplenose8739- I wish he had done Carry Fire all the way through in at least one of his live shows. I've seen the live versions of those tracks and they're just magnificent and powerful.
I have shared a few pints with Robert over the years. We lived very near to each other when I lived in London. Always a good laugh. Robert can be very sarcastic at times lol.
Missed out on the 1980 Philly Spectrum concert when Bonham sadly died....but saw Robert a few years ago...He was amazing!!!!! I've been to a gazillion concerts, Robert Plants was the BEST show I ever saw....
I can listen to Him speak about anything all day & be fascinated. He’s got so much insight and enthusiasm. 🤘🏽🔥Zeppelin is my favourite band for a reason...
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 that’s not true, Coverdale himself used to tell people he was the Robert Plant of the 80s, even his ex-wife confirmed it. Rodgers and Plant started singing professionally in 1968. Rodgers and Coverdale are baritones Plant is a tenor.
@@audreycraig9433 You originally claimed Rodgers was influenced by Plant when that isn't true, as you've confirmed by the timeline of their careers. Also I don't know why Coverdale would say that....as he has a far stronger, more versatile voice than Plant, plus Coverdale's career started in the 70s, it didn't begin in the 80s.
Robert Plant is a living legend, not only amazing vocalist but an amazing blues harmonica player. All of the great rock musicians from the 60’s and 70’s were heavily influenced by the blues and Robert Plant is one of them.
He is a great harmonica player! I just watched a clip of him with Zeppelin in 70/71 performing Bring It On Home and it was spot on. But he has said he used to play harmonica in various bands when he had no money, so that explains why he's so good at it.
Think this chair was safe sterile We have to realise he is not young he looks perfectly comfortable he is a very big Tall man yes he lived not far from us My father in law was his Personal Builder Sid , Who worked for him doing some interesting work in happy Valley / For many many years he shopped in Aberystwyth regular people never interrupted him he was left alone & Holiday makers would not expect him to be there so he lived quietly for long time , Saw him live in Knebworth 1990 Gig of the Decade for the cleft Awards.
I met him at Ipswich football club years ago when they were playing Wolves. I tentatively approached him at half-time and he sat and talked to me for the whole of half-time. A truly lovely man.
I met him in Peoria Illinois on his first show after his up on the start of the tour in middle America and Peoria Illinois, we met him in the lobby of the hotel you were staying after the show mobs of people around and we waited patiently and it was three of us and we didn’t have to go up to him he knew we were gigantic fans and wanted to meet him he came over and approached us and asked us where we are from what we thought of the show talked for honestly probably five minutes he did that with everybody! He was like talking to your friendly next-door neighbor but he was honestly sincere when he would ask you questions just a super nice guy !!!
Emma Philo yeah Emma he really was so down to earth and genuinely nice talk to everybody in the lobby! I don’t know if I mentioned in my other post I met Jimmy page 1985 or 86 he also was very gracious to everybody it was in a bar in a hotel in Chicago after a show seemed a bit more shy but friendly and took pictures with us very modest superstars.
@@larryj3164 I once saw Jimmy Page outside his house in London UK, I was excited but I am not one to disturb superstars just outside their house lol. Your encounters with Plant and Page seem cool, lucky you :)
Robert and his friends changed my life. Started listening to Zep in '68/'69 and still listen today. Most of the music that I listened to growing has been thrown aside, but their music still gets right into my soul.

Heard him take this same stroll down memory lane many times and I’ll happily, nay, eagerly listen every time I’m given a new chance. He’s magic. Still in very fine voice too. Saw him live 3 or 4 years ago and he stormed the stage with a ripping version of Trampled Under Foot. Brought tears to my eyes.
I love that he is still engaged with music and not retired sitting in a corner somewhere(not that he doesn’t deserve the rest) and I love when stories are told. Love love love this man so! 🥰
The master, the artist, the living legend, the man who brings me happiness every day and I thank him for sharing his talent with us all these years. Stay blessed Robert. 💜🙏🤘🏿🎵💜
I saw him at Disneyworld in 1977. He was with his family. I asked him if he'd mind if I took a photo. He obliged and that was that. I couldn't believe it. I was 21 and a huge fan. Sadly his little son that was with him passed away within the next month or two. I was at work when I heard of that and thought it couldn't be possible, I just saw that little guy a couple of months before.
@@donclanton701 he may have just blended in with the crowd had I not read a Creem or Circus (rock and roll) magazine the day before that had Zeppelins tour schedule and I noticed they were in Tampa within the next couple days. I just would have written it off as a guy that looks a lot like Robert Plant with a lady that looks a lot like his wife (recognized her from movie Song Remains The Same).
@@MrDro1128 I actually have 2 of about 15 that I took. I loaned all but these 2 with the negatives to a friend that lost them. He's dead so I won't speak poorly of him. Only one photo was posed and the rest I took as they walked away.
@@autumn1231 Right on. Not a lot of people in the scheme of things were able to photograph themselves with musical history icons like that- in there prime. That just makes the last 2 even that more special. Adding to the story that was created way back when.
"When you've created one 'Whole Lotta Love', how many of them do you need?" That's really well said. People always want bands to keep doing that same thing over and over. Zeppelin was genius at connecting the familiarity of their early work to the explorations of the new material they were putting out. It always sounded like Led Zeppelin, no matter how different Fool in the Rain is from Heartbreaker.
Dear friend, like you, I too have received thanks from an alleged Mr Robert Plant with that email address. In your opinion is it reliable? I await your feedback, thank you very much, Mariaconcetta.
The vocalist that has encapsulated my life's journey with his solo work, and he doesn't even know it... From " Like I've Never Been Gone" in 1982 to "Carry Fire" in 2017... 35 years, Wow... Thank you Robert... Also * That last band you were in from 1968 until 1980, prior to your solo career was indescribable. They were so awesome and innovative... Thank you again Robert...
Thank you for uploading this splendid interview. Plant's words are poetic. What a lovely man. I was a great fan of his (and the Zep) in the '70's. Over the years, my appreciation of and admiration for him have only deepened. Wonderful.
I've been a fan of Robert Plant since the late 60's. When these artists tell the stories of how, when, where, it just makes my heart so happy ♥️ As the man said, Appreciate him while he still has a living presence ♥️ Thank You Robert and Led Zeppelin 🙏
So interesting to hear such an intelligent and learned man. There is far more to Robert Plant than meets the eye. I would like to thank him for the music and pleasure he has given me, and still does forty years on. Thank you Robert.
I still have a huge crush on him since I was 14. Lol! I wanted to see Led Zeppelin in concert but never had the opportunity. We do need to enjoy this music any chance we get!!
Amazingly talented musician and man. Robert Plant credits the music upon which his music is built, so beautiful to see thee evolution music is taking. Thank you to Robert Plant and all the musicians who share their music with us. Sending love, light, peace and joy to everyone.
That is the difference between a artist vs. Performer. Today's music will never be authentic because it is read off a script. When Zeppelin and the Beatles were in business they spent months working on it so it was authentic!
You read my mind. I don't mean to talk badly of contemporary artists but they just don't seem to be in the same league. When you consider how young LZ were (and many of their contemporary musicians), it is amazing their maturity and abilities. For sure there are great musicians today but they are likely to not make it to the tv, radio, recording studio. "Talent" shows are all about manufacturing and promoting a product, imo.
In fairness it certainly helps the interview format immensely if Jools Holland is the interviewer. He's an engaging man and obviously an incredibly musical person. You generally don't get that these days with normal hosts.
Words can't describe the immense joy you've given the world through your songs and voice. You are the very best Sir. Thank you Robert . much love brother.

Thank you Robert. In the early 70s my best friends older brother took us to a Led Zep show at Cobo Hall in Detroit. Maybe because I was just a kid or maybe because it was my first concert
I had ever been to but it literally changed my life. All these years and hundreds of concerts later nothing else can compare to that show. Thank you again Robert, you are my legend.
I think Robert Is the greatest! His voice after all these years is SUPERB...and he has never allowed himself to be stagnant. Not many others of his contemporaries have accomplished as much artistically. Luv him!
Robert Plant,Jimmy Page,john paul Jones and John Bonham will forever be a Band that lives through their music for generations to come ..The Greatest of All Time ..
Robert Plant has a unique way of speaking that always intrigues. Led Zeppelin was one of those "lightening-in-a-bottle" events like the Beatles and so forth. There's a depth and mystique in their songs like no other band. On top of that was much talent and a stage presence. Magical.
You’re right, a dignity and not rude.... no dummy for sure
The most fascinating rock star ever. Love you Robert plant
Pure magic indeed ✨
Amazing, awesome, terrific rock singer. The best ever.
I in all truth, since 2015. Seeing him with the sensational space shifters. Then through his awesome podcast. I have become a bigger fan than I have ever been. And I never imagined being a bigger fan than I was in high school 40 years ago. But its true, he is a walking encyclopedia of music, all music that he keeps seeking. Digging for gems.
Absolutely brilliant. Check out his band playing LIVE.
RAINBOW, and CARRY FIRE. Incredible!!!
He’s aged really well over the years. Looks and sounds as sharp as ever.
Thanks a lot Robert. You made my life worthwhile.
You're right
i never met him, but loved Led Zeppelin ever since I was little (im 25 now). One of my family friends met him at a restaurant and got his autograph for me bc she knew how much I admired him. I still have the autograph and keep it in a safe place:)
I’m so glad that Robert and Jimmy are still alive. They both look good for being in their 70s. When it’s time for them to pass away, it’s going to crush me. I would love to meet both of em.
❤️❤️❤️ Robert Plant, the Legend”! The one and only!!!
You're right
Nobody like Robert
If your 74 and you were a popular music buff in those days we all went to these shows called package tours in cinemas.and he’s younger than me.I remember seeing Zep at The Hornsey Wood Tavern Wood Green or Bluesville 69 on March the 7th 1969
RP is not only the best and most endearing lead singer in the world, but he’s also a walking talking musical encyclopedia. Could listen to him for days.
I bumped into Mr Plant on my 40th birthday, in Lyme Regis, UK. Couldn't believe no-one else had recognised him.
I told him I loved 'Raising sand' and he leaned into my car window, looked at my girlfriend and said 'So far so good'. For some reason I called him 'bob' and asked where I could park(as if I'd known him for years). He let me have his parking space. He was very nice. I Shook his mighty hand and off he went in his robin reliant.
Rest of my birthday was an anti-climax as it sunk in and I thought of all the other things I could have asked him, instead of where to fucking park.
That’s an awesome story !! I met him in a hotel in Peoria Illinois it was his first concert coming to America and he played in Peoria Illinois after Zepplin of course I was the worlds biggest Zepplin fan! But after the show we followed his limousines back to the hotel we waited in the lobby with probably 100 other people he finally came down off the elevator and he was mobbed by people ,he could see the three of us standing off to the side waiting to hopefully talk to him he came right up to us he was the nicest humblest superstar I’ve ever met he asked us how we like to show how we were doing where we were from he was like talking to one of your high school buddies very down to earth very nice! A few years later in Chicago I met Jimmy page after a Firm show he also was very nice but a bit more shy than Robert Roberts very gregarious and outgoing Jimmy was very nice took pictures with us and signed autographs for people but a bit more shy but very nice
It was an organic, real encounter. Be happy you had that connection. I would have been tongue tied. Good on you. I’m sure he appreciated the Raising Sand compliment as opposed to a gushing reaction to Kashmir for the thousandth time.
You should’ve asked him to sing you happy birthday or offered up your girlfriend to him
@@HipsterDoofus100 Ha Yeah right. Take her Bob, I don't want her anyway. Just sing me 'Heartbreaker' and she's yours.
This might be the best comment on here. I chuckled at the end, only because I see myself thinking the same thing all night!! 🤘🤘🤣🍻
When he said Jimmy, Jonesy and Bonzo I got a lump in my throat.
Me too
When the interviewer asks him how he was so great ino LZ, he answers : "The three others". Magnifique !
I got a lump in my pants
Incredible how much respect and love they have for each other after all these years.
What a fantastic speciman he is. No one compares.
I could listen to Rob talk for hours. Seems such a great guy to sit and have a chat with.
I witnessed
ive heard that he can be quite obnoxious towards peasants
I always say the same thing. I met him briefly in a pub in Ireland. He threw his head back and sang a few classic notes, I told him I loved him and that Kashmir is greatest song ever written. I walked away and have never been the same. I’d sell my soul to spend a week with him listening and learning.
Robert is such a humble man …… giving his bands mates their share of the beautiful creations of Led Zeppelin’s work for all of those amazing years!! LZ is and will always be my most favorite band in existence!! Everything they’ve written and created are meaningful and exquisite!! I particularly love the blues influence!! Thank you LZ for everything!!
Hello Vanessa,
Thanks for your love, and support all through this times, it's been a wonderful feeling performing for my fans around the world. Though I rarely comment here on my TH-cam pages, I was attracted by the emotions in your comment. I'll like we get along and keep in touch, if it's okay by you. Where are you streaming from?
One of rocks best vocalists ever🎤🎶🌟💙A charismatic man with intelligence and compassion
Miss out " One of" & you have it
Just an All Around Great Guy
And Still So Damn Handsome
Thank You Robert Plant, for staying True to yourself.
I Love and Appreciate the Constant Versatility ✌️💞🎶🙏
Dear friend, like you, I too have received thanks from an alleged Mr Robert Plant with that email address. In your opinion is it reliable? I await your feedback, thank you very much, Mariaconcetta.
@@mariaconcettadilecce2689
I did not respond to that email.
If it truly is Robert Plant, well A Really Sad Loss for me, but I highly doubt it!
✌️💞🎶🙏
Thank you very much, you have been very kind. Until next time, Mariaconcetta.
Robert Plant; the greatest voice in rock music. Man, getting old sucks.
It's better than the alternative.
Not sure I see what you mean about Robert. He’s kicking ass.
@@joebeamish Exactly. His last album, Carry Fire was, well..🔥. Great stuff.
I don't like getting old...er either. 🤬🤬🤬
@@neilpeartspurplenose8739- I wish he had done Carry Fire all the way through in at least one of his live shows. I've seen the live versions of those tracks and they're just magnificent and powerful.
My favorite singer! The Best!
I have shared a few pints with Robert over the years. We lived very near to each other when I lived in London. Always a good laugh. Robert can be very sarcastic at times lol.
Missed out on the 1980 Philly Spectrum concert when Bonham sadly died....but saw Robert a few years ago...He was amazing!!!!! I've been
to a gazillion concerts, Robert Plants was the BEST show I ever saw....
This man - like none before and none after - unleashed a sound we never thought possible... Thank you Mr Plant.
I can listen to Him speak about anything all day & be fascinated. He’s got so much insight and enthusiasm. 🤘🏽🔥Zeppelin is my favourite band for a reason...
Jools and Robert.....two of the best in music! 🤩
IMHO the greatest blues/rock singer and front-man of the last 50 years. One-of-a-kind. Never be another like Robert Plant.
I think Paul Rodgers and Coverdale would hold that crown. 👑
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 they’re both heavily influenced by Robert Plant. Coverdale always wanted to be the 80s Plant.
@@audreycraig9433
Err I think not.
Rodgers, a far superior singer, came before Plant.....and Coverdale was influenced by Rodgers.
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 that’s not true, Coverdale himself used to tell people he was the Robert Plant of the 80s, even his ex-wife confirmed it. Rodgers and Plant started singing professionally in 1968. Rodgers and Coverdale are baritones Plant is a tenor.
@@audreycraig9433
You originally claimed Rodgers was influenced by Plant when that isn't true, as you've confirmed by the timeline of their careers.
Also I don't know why Coverdale would say that....as he has a far stronger, more versatile voice than Plant, plus Coverdale's career started in the 70s, it didn't begin in the 80s.
Imagine being his age and still being cool, the man has still got it
He still has an eloquent swagger about him!
Always love listening to Robert in interviews.
Robert Plant is a living legend, not only amazing vocalist but an amazing blues harmonica player. All of the great rock musicians from the 60’s and 70’s were heavily influenced by the blues and Robert Plant is one of them.
He is a great harmonica player! I just watched a clip of him with Zeppelin in 70/71 performing Bring It On Home and it was spot on. But he has said he used to play harmonica in various bands when he had no money, so that explains why he's so good at it.
They should at least have given him a more comfortable chair or a throne.
At least the boogie-woogie Hootananny bloke interviewing him is stood throughout out of respect. :)
I was just thinking the same thing. Get Robert Plant a comfortable chair!
throne? A bit much.
Think this chair was safe sterile We have to realise he is not young he looks perfectly comfortable he is a very big Tall man yes he lived not far from us My father in law was his Personal Builder Sid , Who worked for him doing some interesting work in happy Valley / For many many years he shopped in Aberystwyth regular people never interrupted him he was left alone & Holiday makers would not expect him to be there so he lived quietly for long time , Saw him live in Knebworth 1990 Gig of the Decade for the cleft Awards.
Thron from naked womans
Greatest words in pop history. The feeling I get when I look to the west and my spirit is crying for leaving. Rog. Pacific sunset records.
I met him at Ipswich football club years ago when they were playing Wolves. I tentatively approached him at half-time and he sat and talked to me for the whole of half-time. A truly lovely man.
I met him in Peoria Illinois on his first show after his up on the start of the tour in middle America and Peoria Illinois, we met him in the lobby of the hotel you were staying after the show mobs of people around and we waited patiently and it was three of us and we didn’t have to go up to him he knew we were gigantic fans and wanted to meet him he came over and approached us and asked us where we are from what we thought of the show talked for honestly probably five minutes he did that with everybody! He was like talking to your friendly next-door neighbor but he was honestly sincere when he would ask you questions just a super nice guy !!!
@@larryj3164 👍🏻
Seems like a people's type of man. It would truly be a dream to meet him....
Emma Philo yeah Emma he really was so down to earth and genuinely nice talk to everybody in the lobby! I don’t know if I mentioned in my other post I met Jimmy page 1985 or 86 he also was very gracious to everybody it was in a bar in a hotel in Chicago after a show seemed a bit more shy but friendly and took pictures with us very modest superstars.
@@larryj3164 I once saw Jimmy Page outside his house in London UK, I was excited but I am not one to disturb superstars just outside their house lol. Your encounters with Plant and Page seem cool, lucky you :)
Robert and his friends changed my life. Started listening to Zep in '68/'69 and still listen today. Most of the music that I listened to growing has been thrown aside, but their music still gets right into my soul.
Same here, got to get the led out on my stroll everyday, with no respect to my ears, mostly Physical Graffiti.
Thanks for the love and support
Robert is such a beautiful soul an incredible man I admire all his music and his personality

What a voice Robert Plant has! Whoa! Those Zep records show that he was absolutely unique! What a powerful set of lungs! 👍🎸
This man is so down to earth and is still the one in my books

I love Robert Plant, thank you for the music, I hope we hear more.
Heard him take this same stroll down memory lane many times and I’ll happily, nay, eagerly listen every time I’m given a new chance. He’s magic. Still in very fine voice too. Saw him live 3 or 4 years ago and he stormed the stage with a ripping version of Trampled Under Foot. Brought tears to my eyes.
Robert ❤️ You are intriguing!
I love that he is still engaged with music and not retired sitting in a corner somewhere(not that he doesn’t deserve the rest) and I love when stories are told. Love love love this man so! 🥰
This man as me in tears such a lovely man wish I choud meet and listen to his stories
Hello Sylvia, how are you doing? It's nice meeting you here.
The master, the artist, the living legend, the man who brings me happiness every day and I thank him for sharing his talent with us all these years. Stay blessed Robert. 💜🙏🤘🏿🎵💜
Mr. Plant is the epitome of a truly wonderful, warm, caring 60s/70s rock singer.
#1 singer of all time Robert Plant and I'm still cranking up., When the Levee breaks, Kashmir, and the rain song all these years later.
I saw him at Disneyworld in 1977. He was with his family. I asked him if he'd mind if I took a photo. He obliged and that was that. I couldn't believe it. I was 21 and a huge fan. Sadly his little son that was with him passed away within the next month or two. I was at work when I heard of that and thought it couldn't be possible, I just saw that little guy a couple of months before.
Cool story, Thanks
@@donclanton701 he may have just blended in with the crowd had I not read a Creem or Circus (rock and roll) magazine the day before that had Zeppelins tour schedule and I noticed they were in Tampa within the next couple days. I just would have written it off as a guy that looks a lot like Robert Plant with a lady that looks a lot like his wife (recognized her from movie Song Remains The Same).
Do you II still have the photo?
@@MrDro1128 I actually have 2 of about 15 that I took. I loaned all but these 2 with the negatives to a friend that lost them. He's dead so I won't speak poorly of him. Only one photo was posed and the rest I took as they walked away.
@@autumn1231 Right on. Not a lot of people in the scheme of things were able to photograph themselves with musical history icons like that- in there prime.
That just makes the last 2 even that more special. Adding to the story that was created way back when.
Lost for words. Still loving you 🇺🇸
Uau.
i love him so much.❤️🌻
Me too.Look at my profil
"When you've created one 'Whole Lotta Love', how many of them do you need?" That's really well said. People always want bands to keep doing that same thing over and over. Zeppelin was genius at connecting the familiarity of their early work to the explorations of the new material they were putting out. It always sounded like Led Zeppelin, no matter how different Fool in the Rain is from Heartbreaker.
Not once upon a time.. but still Greatest of All Time. Vocalist and also Super Person. Unbeatable Positive Attitude.
Greatest singer in the world. IMHO 🇨🇦👍
A true Icon of our life time. His voice touches Hearts. A true gift.
Dear friend, like you, I too have received thanks from an alleged Mr Robert Plant with that email address. In your opinion is it reliable? I await your feedback, thank you very much, Mariaconcetta.
Saw him twice in concert in the 80's. What a thrill. True one of a kind, incredible voice. He can sing anything.
Thank you for posting. Singing or speaking, I could listen to him all day.
The vocalist that has encapsulated my life's journey with his solo work, and he doesn't even know it... From " Like I've Never Been Gone" in 1982 to "Carry Fire" in 2017... 35 years, Wow...
Thank you Robert...
Also * That last band you were in from 1968 until 1980, prior to your solo career was indescribable. They were so awesome and innovative...
Thank you again Robert...
Thank you for uploading this splendid interview. Plant's words are poetic. What a lovely man. I was a great fan of his (and the Zep) in the '70's. Over the years, my appreciation of and admiration for him have only deepened. Wonderful.
Lovely man, met him in 73 when I lived in Cookley and he had Seabright/Jennings Farm. He loved his horses, goats and dogs, a super down to earth guy.
I've been a fan of Robert Plant since the late 60's. When these artists tell the stories of how, when, where, it just makes my heart so happy ♥️ As the man said, Appreciate him while he still has a living presence ♥️ Thank You Robert and Led Zeppelin 🙏
So interesting to hear such an intelligent and learned man. There is far more to Robert Plant than meets the eye. I would like to thank him for the music and pleasure he has given me, and still does forty years on. Thank you Robert.
I still have a huge crush on him since I was 14. Lol! I wanted to see Led Zeppelin in concert but never had the opportunity. We do need to enjoy this music any chance we get!!
I saw him in Marbella 3yrs ago,fabulous man!
So do I, and I'm a 60 year old straight married man. 🤔
@@TitoTito-ju1te you thought you were straight!!🤣🤣
Love this man! So happy he is still performing. He is perfection!
Amazingly talented musician and man. Robert Plant credits the music upon which his music is built, so beautiful to see thee evolution music is taking. Thank you to Robert Plant and all the musicians who share their music with us. Sending love, light, peace and joy to everyone.
Forever love, an respect Robert always.
How grateful am I seeing Led Zeppelin Knebworth second show 1979. The song remains the same. Going to see JBlZE on 8/4 thank you for your music 😀💕💕
It is really glaring, the difference between the content of this interview and what you see from contemporary music personalities.
So true.
That is the difference between a artist vs. Performer. Today's music will never be authentic because it is read off a script. When Zeppelin and the Beatles were in business they spent months working on it so it was authentic!
@@rebellucy5610 there’s still a lot of great music today. You shouldn’t paint all current musicians under one brush.
You read my mind. I don't mean to talk badly of contemporary artists but they just don't seem to be in the same league. When you consider how young LZ were (and many of their contemporary musicians), it is amazing their maturity and abilities.
For sure there are great musicians today but they are likely to not make it to the tv, radio, recording studio. "Talent" shows are all about manufacturing and promoting a product, imo.
In fairness it certainly helps the interview format immensely if Jools Holland is the interviewer. He's an engaging man and obviously an incredibly musical person. You generally don't get that these days with normal hosts.
Words can't describe the immense joy you've given the world through your songs and voice. You are the very best Sir. Thank you Robert . much love brother.
Saw Led Zep at Earls Court as a 15 year old, now 61 and still love them, even named my eldest Robert!
Love the man's modesty.
"Sometimes it was brilliant and sometimes it was not but it was exactly what it should've been"
I love that!
Love Robert. "Whole Lotta Love" is really about his stamp collection.
Hahahahahahah and Bron Y-Aur-...STAMP?
Stampled Under Foot
Stamping Days???
Stampway to Heaven
I love this man. His lyrics and music has been the soundtrack of my life.
His voice and songs have always been medicine for me. He still continues to be.
