I remember seeing Plant at the old Cap Centre in Landover, MD back in '90. First tour where he relented and started doing old Zep material again. I remember Nobody's Fault But Mine, Immigrant Song, Wearing and Tearing, and (I think) No Quarter and a couple others. That was when he was still in his solo Golden Rock God phase. He started shifting away from that around the time he recorded Fate of Nations in '93, then pretty much went into the Elder Statesman arena for good after that. His solo career went all over the place (but being a Plant fan, I enjoyed it all), but it was one of the last times he was in full Zep swagger and singing those songs in concert. All a matter of timing, that was as close to seeing and hearing Led Zeppelin live as some people would ever get again. And I'm damn glad I was there to see him to do a victory lap with some of it.

Robert mostly only sings Zeppelin songs in the style of “Led Zeppelin” when he’s doing reunion shows with Page & Jones.
All the other times, Plant is re-inventing how he sings and performs those songs.
Having actually seen Led Zeppelin perform in the 70’s, well those Robert Plant “versions” ill always be my favorites.
