Robert Plant is not in a hurry!

As a comment on the widely discussed, possible Led Zeppelin reunion tour and his present collaboration with Alison Krauss, Robert Plant has said:

"I'm in no hurry to go anywhere. I want to stay very close. This is a font of knowledge, and I'm sticking as close to it as I can"

Alison Krauss agrees by saying:

"We're all having a wonderful time, and I hope and I think all three of us (Krauss, Plant and producer T Bone Burnett) are hoping to continue this and that it goes on and on."

Well, I hope this collaboration won't remain any longer than it is said. I've already seen Plant/Krauss. Now I want to see Plant/Page/Paul Jones!

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

Some weeks ago, I went to see Robert Plant and Alison Krauss on their "Raising Sand" tour. I must say that the concert were brilliant. The most people came to the concert to see Plant but afterwards I think everyone went home to listen to Alison Krauss. I mean, their ensamble were terrific. Myself, I had already listened to their album so I already kind of knew that but anyway, hearing Krauss voice live were fantastic and just the fact that I've now seen the rock legend live is very cool.

They sang some of the songs alone and some songs were sung with one of them as a background singer. But of cource, they sang the most of songs togheter and I would like to call them the best duo since Simon & Garfunkel. If you haven't heard them yet, take a look at this clip:

Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You

This is a clip from Led Zeppelin's early days. The song is actually a cover of Joan Baez version which was recorded in 1963. This clip is from 1969 and according to wikipedia, that year's concerts were the only occasions ever when the whole group performed this song live.
