boogie woogie Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) If we we're asked to help with the set list what songs would people like to hear and why? Zep, Plant solo career, other artists. I'm reminded of how many covers the Jerry Garcia Band and the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band played. He's another example of a weel known rock musician who was heavily steeped in Americana music. Blues, folk, bluegrass, country, jug band, Motown, jazz, etc. Here's a few covers I would like to hear the Band of Joy play Celebration Day : I read in a recent Rolling Stone interview that Robert has considered playing Celebration Day I think that would be great to hear Babe I'm On Gonna Leave You: a radical reworking of this familiar folk song a familiar Motown song: a specific song title does not come to mind but I thinking with Darrell Scott and Patty Griffin's soulful voices a roosty rework would be fun Edited February 15, 2011 by boggie woogie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Can't say I really consider Zep and solo tunes to be "covers". That aside, as much as I've enjoyed Plant's reinterpretations of others' material, I'm much more excited about the prospect of the original material he said is on the way.

boogie woogie Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 On second thought A Memphis soul song would be more fitting than Motown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed "covers" is not the best word for Zep and solo tunes. I am also very excited about the prospect of original material from this band. Since they are currently out on tour and are adding songs. I'm curious to know what other songs people would like to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
