I have a soft sport for Robert Plant's solo stuff.
I saw him at the 'Dome on the Now and Zen tour.
He ended with a breakneck version of Communication Breakdown.
It was a great concert.
I’m envious. Saw a later tour and he was only ok. Took my Mom, he’s her favourite artist. Did a terrible version of Jimi’s Hey Joe, but I did hear Going to California which was terrific.
As you may or may not be aware, Johnny Cash's last few albums were all covers of songs that he obviously felt a deep connection to. This song is set in the old west, and yet I feel a profound connection to the character. I cannot attempt to sing this song without my voice breaking and tears welling in my eyes. The lyric, "I felt the power of death over life. I orphaned his children. I widowed his wife." just breaks me in two.
