Robert Plant-Band of Joy Tour-Houston


Man, I really had high expectations for his swing thru Houston last night but sadly I found the performance rather ho-hum.. The few LZ tunes chosen were played out as new versions of. The song selection was a mix of some new material, Robert Plant/Allison Kraus stuff and not enough LZ tunes.. Their were flashes of Plant seemingly ready to break out and rock but his performance was restrained.

I'll play devil's advocate for a moment.

Entertainers like Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, Robert Plant, Paul McCartney, et. al. are very wealthy. IMO, money is not the primary reason they are recording and/or touring.

Like an athlete whose skills have diminished but continues to compete, the entertainer simply does what he/she does best. And they really enjoy doing it.

Thank goodness we aren't forced to watch or listen when father time has bypassed these folks.

IMO
