If you get a chance, go see Robert Plant with Alison Krauss and T-Bone Burnett on their tour together. Plant is pushing 60 now, and no, he can’t hit those soaring screams like he did on “Black Dog” and “Stairway to Heaven” anymore. But if you watch and listen to him in concert, he’s better than ever. He knows what he can and can’t do at this stage of his career, and he works within those limits beautifully. The man may look like King Theoden waking up after a bender, but he prowls a stage like a panther and COMMANDS it. My wife and I paid a pretty penny for tickets to see him several months ago and came away thinking they were worth every cent. He’s amazing.

I saw them at Mohegan Sun. What a fantastic show.
That was a great show. We saw them at Red Rocks last June.
Funny crowd though—strange mix of bluegrassers and aging hard rockers.
