- The Rain Song (1st time performed by Plant in 20 years?)& Trampled Under Foot, Robert Plant & the Sensational Space Shifters, Mann Performing Arts Center, Philadelphia, PA; June 17th, 2015; Spring US Tour
Is it just me or has his voice gotten better as he's gotten older?
This is a man doing what he was truly meant to do.
His voice has mellowed in perfection with his age. Robert is the absolute high priest of rock.
It's gotten better. Robert has a much warmer tone and never oversings anymore. No frills, no tricks, just a singer who has honed his voice into a perfect instrument. At least to me anyway.
Damn, he sounds good!! I really wish people would stop trying to criticize him for doing "Zep" songs. He is the co-writer for each and every one of those Zep songs. Do you realize that had Page enlisted the guy he initially wanted to sing in his band (Terry Reid), that many of the Zep songs we've come to know and love may never have been written?
I was at this show with my dad, absolutely incredible. This is possibly my favorite zepp song and when he played it is felt like I was on another planet. Dude's a fucking legend. Rock on!!
same! took my then girl friend (now wife) who never listened to Zeppelin. Very memorable experience
SOo BEAUTIFUL !!! ROBERT PLANT !!!THE VERY BBBEST SINGER IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD !!! ♡♡ !!! O YEAH !!!
The Golden God. Might not have the high notes anymore but still the best rock singer on the planet!
I've been listening to Led Zeppelin for nearly 40 years. Have to say RP's performance here has blown me away. Keep rockin' Bob! \o/
His voice sounds better than it has for years.
Robert should add this songs to his setlist more often. Really cool to hear him singing these classics again!
Plant's voice sounds just as good as it did in '73! How in the f*** does his voice not age?!? I think John Fogerty is the only other vocalist that is blessed like that.
He sounds very good here indeed. But as good as 73? I saw 4 shows of that tour and he's not the same singer I saw in LA and MSG. Just sayin...
What about Paul Rogers...?
@@threeamigos842 Good call, I forgot about him at the time I posted that. Rodgers does, in fact, preserves his vocals very well. Not to mention I think he's a very underrated vocalist.
Plant sounds great here!
Sorry, but can we stop talking about why he doesn't do Zep anymore, just for a moment, and take in just what a powerful, brilliant, stunning singer Robert is? His raw, awesome energy, his majestic locks, his strut as though he owns the whole stage... He's so enviable. I just want to be him. He's just amazing.
" You are the sunlight in my poem"........such love
"You are the sunlight in my growing"
THANK YOU !!! couldn't see R.P. this time around . a wedding I didn't want to skip. THanks again . YES many years since rain song .
He sounds so good!!! Glad to see he can sing so well after all these years. Its sad when musicians age and lose their vocal range but Robert Plant still sounds amazing!
A voice as beautiful and timeless as ever.
Crying tears of JOY!
Same….but now mixed with sadness
I was here for this show. It was fucking great. I finally got to see my idol live
his voice is still awesome. sends shivers. gonna see him again no matter what.
To all those that don't quite understand Plant's refusal to tour as Led Zeppelin again, I think I get it after seeing him live in St. Augustine on 3/10/16. He clearly still loves doing the Zeppelin tunes. Sometimes they even sound a lot like the arrangements from the old days. But most of the time, they do not. He loves to collaborate with other musicians, including the ones in his current band.
Last weekend, he busted out a completely re-imagine arrangement of "Communication Breakdown" with a dance club trance beat and keyboards, combined with a banjo, a tenor guitar, and a one-stringed African ritti. I thought it was crazy and terrific.
He loves to mix different musical traditions and instruments. Some folks don't like it when he messes around with the old arrangements. Personally, I love it. And it's want Plant wants to do, musically.
He did that with Page and Jones back in the 70s. I don't think he wants to go back to the sparse quartet format. It's too limiting, especially with blokes he did it with 40 years ago, regardless of how talented they are and the magic they made.
Now, if Page and Jones came to Plant and said "Hey, let's make some new music and take a big musical ensemble on the road with us so we can play anything we want," THEN Plant might listen. Still don't know if he'd do it, but I bet he'd listen.
My all-time favorite Led Zeppelin song...I can't believe Robert played it in Philly, but not at the Santa Barbara Bowl few weeks earlier when I saw him... this version sounds amazing
Master..still is great.. this voice!!!! Just master..
Plant is the man 💚 the greatest singer .he gets better with age 💛
The most "lyrical" Rock love song of all times. "These are the seasons of emotion / And like the wind they rise and fall / This is the wonder of devotion / I see the torch we all must hold".
That's so beautful. My poet lol
THE TORCH OF AVALON....
ill tell you what Robert had to just be fryin his balls off on peyote tooters to write those lyrics
"Flee from me, keepers of the gloom." Legend :)
I was there. Surreal. I took some video of Black Dog. This was the best song for me.
john sheehan
me 2! so unexpected and top 5 zep song for me
So true Mike a song for true fans
john sheehan I was there too! 4th row stage right!!! My Mother's Day present from my oldest son!!! What a great show!!! I will never forget it!!
Wow, he sounds great.
From The Rain Song to Trampled Under Foot.
Absolutely Brilliant. Thanks Paul
Beautiful!!! I love his voice and fancy him!
Robert hat immer noch diese tolle Stimme und seine neue Band ist perfekt und passt richtig gut zu ihm toll
brilliant, still the same voice tone color like in 94´ with page & plant unplugged version, which is the best ever
Excellent, Wow wished I had been there. My life was working sun up to sundown like 7 days a week. I wasn't expecting this concert at a great location happening. I really enjoyed this Robert. Awesome here.
A to już świeże nagranie Roberta z 2015. choć to ten sam deszcz, ale jakże inny: ) Jak zawsze znakomity!
Ja jednak wolę ich stare studyjne nagrania,inny glos i inna moc tego glosu.
pewnie,że masz rację ale na tym poziomie,po tylu latach, to czysta przyjemność ;-}
(publika przeszkadza..)
bogdan cz Cześć Bogdan!A ja doceniam wokalistów, którzy cierpliwie przez wiele lat robią to, co kochają.To wielki sukces po tylu latach śpiewać tak jak On. Fani nie zapominają. A wiek? Cóż? Każdy z nas chciałby cofnąć czas, ale to niemożliwe. Kocham artystów za to, że śpiewają do samego końca. Przecież to Ci sami ludzie, tylko o kilka dni starsi ; )
Alex Alexander Słuchając wokalistów z rutyną i zespołów, które pomimo wielu lat wciąż istnieją na scenie muzycznej, odnoszę wrażenie, że Oni jakby się odrodzili muzycznie dla nowej, młodej publiczności, która ma zgoła inny gust. To wcale niełatwe. Doceniam ich za to : ) Miłego dnia Alex!
Victoria blues d'or oui
This is sooooooo good! Love you, Robert!
So sorry i couldn't make to this show...sounds like Plant had a really good night. Thanks for posting.
Fantastic singing, and Band also. I don't think Robert and the SSS could do a bad song. These are exceptional as always.
Great song magical Music Man ❤️😀✌️
Thanks for the great closeup vid! My brother and I were there and after two hours at the Crescendo Bar , The Stella Artois made for us melting into the floor of the OAL section of the Mann when he pulled out The Rain Song & Trampled........ How can two men in their 50's go Cookoo for Coaco Puffs over something as rare as this?
I'm not saying aliens..... but.... after hearing Wanton Song, I'd say ...ALIENS!
From my favorite album
Love it!
Phenomenal
Not Surprised
A Re Invention Of TRUE TALENT !!!!
Omg my heart be still. Amazing kmow one better babe🌹❤💋🦋🎼❤🦋🎤💕🌈🌿
I think I would love to see this version, with this group, live
Wow. So Robert Plant turned 67 a couple of months after this, and he was wailing like a man possessed throughout "Trampled Underfoot". There was still some real power and, at times, some great distortion in those vocals. It would be quite impressive singing even for a singer in his 20s.
You guys nail it🦋🌿❤🎸💋so Good🦋❤🎵
Awesome !!!
Push
Yeah !!!
Always Shining In The Light !!!
0:13, manos en las caderas… clásico ❤️
I was there! Great concert!
Love and Always Love You So !!!
Emotions !!!
THANK YOU!
Amazing.
Very beautiful
Plant was so far ahead of his time when he came out, he still sounds better than most out there and he’s 70, Zeppelin was untouchable ,The equipment wasn’t as good back then, It was just raw power, and he had to keep up with Mr John Henry Bonham.
Beautiful🌹🌻🦋
He is the smartest person alive to not screw up their legacy. If they reform they will be old bad and he isn't money
hungry like Jimmy. Love him for not giving in to the cash. They would have made more money than everyone has
seen on a tour. He turned it down because he has class. If you look for videos in the future you will see awful
versions of Queen, Foreigner, Yes and many more bands that sold out and are doing a parody of themselves.
He knows Zeppelin was all four you can't plug somebody in. Bonzo is irreplaceable and no his son
can't fill his shoes. He is making the right decision. Zeppelin at 70 is a bad idea.
Probably, but I don't understand his insistence on having 2nd rate musicians behind him. Bluegrass picking players, no thanks, i saw his solo career when he had good musicians.
Wish u were here💗
Awesome..one of my fav zep songs. I am going to his show in Detroit and I will freak out if he plays this. He sounds great here. I honestly think he holds out when he sings. We think he has lost it but every now and then he pulls out versions like this. Ther verse at 3:20 is classic plant. I have seen version on this tour of the Lemon Song and that was fantastic as well.
I sure hope he keeps this and 'Wanton Song' in his set list when he plays his makeup date here in Michigan.
He sounds great. If I didn't see the video and heard this with no description of the date, I might think it's an older recording.
I wish he did these on 23th July too!!!
That voice.
I think at 68 Plant can do whatever the hell he wants to, just be happy he's still kicking and still has his chops. Drop a tab and put the Song Remains the Same dvd in if this doesn't work for you.
Ty 💜
outstanding.
Keep on rockin' that beard Robert. You look and sound SO hot!!!
Rebecca Horton I've never understood the physical attraction thing with Plant. I've always appreciated him through the music and emotion he brought to the table at points in his career. I've known friends who cared more about his looks than about the music. My oldest sister was obsessed with his package in the Song Remains The Same. I do and still find that odd, reducing someone to mediated image in terms of attractiveness. But, maybe that explains Justin Beiber. It's not about the music with him. It's about his looks and traits that are attractive to manipulate and hock him to a generation of female fans.
+Rebecca Horton - yeah, he is *so* workin' that Aqualung vibe! :-)
Yes , so Trampled !!!
I loved his subtle "humor" when he first walked on stage before Wanton Song....
He "Threw In The Towel" to the throngs of older fans who still wet themselves when they see himdo original version Zep tunes...... I heard He sells Hot Tarmac for slapping on your driveways part time when not touring..... Heh Heh Heh.
He is a Merry Prankster, for sure. What a Guy.............
My Hero...
Yeahhh🔥
Phenomenal !!! 40 Years!!??!!??!!??!!
I love Robert Plant. And I think it's interesting that he's clearly enjoying singing the Zeppelin songs on his current tour, but yet, doesn't want to tour with or as Led Zeppelin. Not to take anything away from the Sensational Space Shifters, but if he's going to sing the Zeppelin songs anyway, then..... you know.... Page, Jonesy and Jason are up for it. Wouldn't it be wonderful ????
Page said he couldn't foresee a Zep reunion. To him, Zeppelin was 4 magical powers coming together and that can't exist without John. So even Jimmy won't do it
J Rose That isn't accurate. Jimmy has begged Plant to do it in years past. Jimmy has been haunted by the loss of Bonzo and Zep since 1980 and chased getting Page/Plant/Jones back together at various times. Only in the last couple years has he finally let go. Look at his sniping at Plant in the media (Ellen DeGeneres for example). Stating that the reason they didn't do more shows after the 02 and why not - that question needs to be posed to Plant.
The bottom line here is Jimmy has come to terms that the cat and mouse game between he and Plant that's gone on for 25+ years, he's over it. To come so close after the 02 to forging ahead with something new to see Robert flitter away again - soured him. I think he realized for how much he wants to do it with Plant - Bob is going to be a tease and never really commit to it. Thus, Jimmy has to get on with it and do his own thing or he'll wither away waiting for something that'll never happen.
I can't blame him. He knew something magical was still there at the 02. Robert wants to stay away from it and Jimmy for better or worse, had to accept that. I feel bad for Jimmy. He has this need for Plant and that magic. Plant has no need for it. It's like a marriage break up that one party doesn't want to move on because they were happy, while the other wasn't.
The saddest thing is that there is still magic there - the 02 proved it. Plant is just gunshy about it because he loses alpha status and it overshadows anything he's done solo once the mothership in any form takes flight. He doesn't want to lose alpha trouser status.
I think he is content playing these 5000 seat theatres and arranging the songs to his liking. He has no desire to grind out a world wide stadium tour and possibly piss on the legacy if its sub par.
Because Page doesn't even practice playing anymore. Not even an occasional one off show joining somebody else.
His voice is shot to do zeppelin songs. Watch the O2 dvd and all the songs are tuned down. Makes everything sound off.
'GRATUITOUS' GOD, GENEROUSLY GIVE GRACE 2 'GLADDEN' GOLDEN GROUNDS "Bespeaking 'Backup' BLESSING for Bereaved Boondocks and Barren Backcountry..." (From the City of 'Brotherly' LOVE, unto the 'Western Shore'; Mars in Luscious Libra is your Salvation Sweet-Heart...)
Nice.... I was there... going again in September.... hope he has his same lineup of members .... last years version when he skipped Philly was not as good without the one string instrument guy..... too much fiddle stomping last year.
awesome!!!! and thank god not with a new arrangement!
DelicateSoundOfThund it would be interesting to know, why robert left more or less no space for the guitar players to fire a solo out....?! a real solo
Time for Plant to relent and form up with Zeppelin again. His voice is much improved since his throat surgery.
Why is it that all this is about what YOU want or think Robert Plant should do? You claim to be fans, but you sound more like children DEMANDING your own way, or you turn on Robert's legacy with a tantrum. Listen to him. Listen to what HE wants to do with his life. In a matter of months he lost his son and then his best friend who is the only one who could get him back on stage after Karac's death. It is all a painful, bitter time for him. Why should he want to relive it? Singing a song he personally wrote FOR Led Zeppelin to perform is very different from doing their entire catalog. Please, think before you throw such harsh judgements out; I am thrilled he is still out there singing for us at all.
Well said! 👍🏼
After seeing this i think Robert should tour with zep even if they old
They did in 2007 and 2012
they did what in 2012 ?
Led zeppelin didn't tour since 1980 .
AtomicFlounderO Led Zeppelin hasn't toured since 1980. They played one show in 2007.
Propjoe10 and 2012
It's got to be maybe a money thing: besides the fact that bozo is not with us RIP! epic but sad at the same time..
Plant turning into a honorary member of Lynyrd Skynryd but the voice still solid
Pls pls PLS

Little Rain !!!!!!!!!!! N
Anyone else notice the left handed drummer?...quite rare.
They skipped the two best parts of the song. The middle instrumental/extended guitar part and the awesome finger picking part at the end.
And..... How can things like This (RS & Trmpld) get better with age? Seems hard to believe. Almost Overwhelming... just a bit..
cragkeeper Better? In the eye of the beholder. These performances are karaoke with a cover band. Zep fans are going nuts just because we have been so starved of these songs even being performed we'll take just about anything. If anything, at lease these versions are truer than the bastardized versions of Zep songs Plant has favored in years past.
Stephanie Sandlin well.... with page being incapable of playing and jones being a wak-a-doodle blue grass freak (or that crooked vultures psycho junk).....what's left? Chubby Jason ? Come on.
Well, what is your suggestion, considering that Page can't play guitar anymore? And then - even if he could, they'd have to package a Led Zep for Dummies Tour. Nothing exceeded 1973's TSRTS. I've seen every Zep tour, and it was the best. The earlier shows were crazy, and the later shows were the decline due to addiction on the part of Page & Bonham. So, go watch the movie.
Yea yea great and all but why the fuck isnt he doing a tour with zep but hes playing zep songs with this band? Wtf, Robert....? Give the fans what they need and want.
I want a "Man Bun".
The band doesn't quite get the Led Zeppelin feel to Trampeled Under Foot :x
Push
They took out all of the Jimmy Page masterpiece parts of the rain song because clearly the beard can’t handle it
