The Pagemeister Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Description: Robert Plant's journey through the territories that have most acutely informed and inspired his music is perhaps one of the most multi-faceted of any artist from his generation. His fantastic voyage has essayed the plantations of Mississippi, the deserts and townships of Africa and the settlements of the Appalachians. Featuring rare footage, performance archive, recorded interviews, contributions from his closest collaborators, expert critique from the finest music writers, plus location film, news reports seldom seen photographs and a host of other features. http://www.seeofsound.com/p.php?s=SIDVD567 Quote
Deborah J Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 ^^ I just ordered this a week or so ago!! http://hangout.altsounds.com/news/131011-robert-plants-blue-note-dvd-august-23-a.html Quote
nirvana Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Looks to be a very exciting end of 2011 with Robert's new video release in August and Jimmy's new web site and multi-media events in July. Wow, we all have something to look forward to as Zeppelin fans! Hasn't been this much buzz on our boys since the O2... Quote
Knebby Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 There'll also be a new release featuring Robert as he has recorded a duet that is due for release in November. Quote

Knebby Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Thanks for the info Knebby, greatly appreciated Sorry Deb I should have said who with - wasn't meaning to be cryptic - singer Alfie Boe, for Boe's album. Since Boe has now spoken about this in public- they recorded "Song To The Siren" together in May - I should think it's ok to talk about it here Quote

Nicey Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Fabulous news! Thank you much for the heads-up. Quote
nirvana Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Who the frig is Alfie Boe? Robert has already recorded the best version of Song to the Siren... Quote
SuperDave Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Kind of surprised there hasn't been more feedback about this here. It's going to be quite an extensive and detailed release as the running time of the dvd clocks in at 155 minutes. Can't wait for this! Amazon Quote

It is a huge release and yet the buzz hasn't be generated like I thought it would be here. C'mon people! Quote
TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 It'd be better if it were released on the 20th of August Quote
SuperDave Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Very true. Although, it probably would have to be the 19th, which is a Friday as dvds are released on that day of the week in the U.S. Cds on Tuesday. Quote
Knebby Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Surprised to see this making number 8 in the BBC news website's most popular stories. Had heard it was a grand night though. My link Quote
Nicey Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Surprised to see this making number 8 in the BBC news website's most popular stories. Had heard it was a grand night though. My link Aww. That was very kind of Mr. Plant. He remembers his old buddies, even after they're gone. I read something somewhere... It was from a book by another musician I think. The writer mentioned Robert and said he was more kind and generous than he let on. He said Robert paid Skip Spence's hospital bill, for instance. (Poor Mr. Spence had schizophrenia, among other things. That's so sad.) So, yeah, Mr. Plant's a good man. We need more people like that. Quote

ledzepfvr Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Blues Revue has a review of Rober'ts Blue Note today http://bluesrevue.co...e-dvd-2-03-12/# Quote
Mudslider Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 I enjoyed watching this and picked up a few things I didn't know about Plant beofre and after Zeppelin. Towards the end of the video one of the interviewee's takes a slam against Page saying Robert has out grown him and he's stuck in the past, etc. Though some truth to that I found it uneccessary Quote

I applaud Robert for his musical thirst, but I also think some of the stuff Jimmy did with the Firm has aged better than some of Robert's 80's output. And Jimmy's contributions to Now and Zen was the highlight of that album IMO, particularly his soloing on Heaven Knows. Still sounds great. Quote
Deborah J Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 The remaining is on You Tube for those that have not seen this. I enjoy the DVD and glad I own it:-) ...enjoy... Robert Plant's Blue Note (Part 2 of 15).mp4 (Thanks Treble Chef) Quote
