FireOpal Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 The way he threw that mike was derinitiely done with some ill feeling. Now look at the way he has nothing to do with the others at the end....Page puts him arm round him and Plant acts as if he's not there, same as he does on every clip Ive seen. I saw it like Gazz describes -- Robert was cold; he performed very well though. I hope we're wrong and Robert was just being... Robert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kindwoman Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Check the video screen after the mic toss, they are all smiling and seemingly enjoying their time. Yes, beautiful smiles. They were elated. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not a very good judge of body language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBJ Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Maybe he just needs to get laid! seriously I think he's just practicing good stage maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Bender Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thank You! "We came, we saw, we kicked ass!" It seems to me that Page did everything he could to make every section easy for Robert. He telegraphed many of the Q's for him and was quite a leader thru-out. Robert for some reason seems uneasy at times and very self-aware. It's no wonder since us fans have been dicing ever minute of the show we get our hands on and Robert knows his task is huge. Overall, it seems that Plant sees himself as a bit old playing this part and has yet to find a more mature outlook on the tunes and the band. If this band tours I am confident that Plant will draw from the others eager inspiration and rise above this hurdle. Right now I imagine they'll play another show or two so they can make a nifty package like Cream did. I wish they'd make a statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led4Life Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 He didnt seem any different really he kicked a hat to the side of the stage but didnt seem angry about it. I think he was just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunChild Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 hey boy, you got something against us sockknitting grannies?? I'll have you know I spend all my evenings knitting up items for the band...using only the finest cashmere...things to keep all their body bits warm. I am certain they would appreciate me throwing these on stage instead of my bra. Shall I knit a lollipop holster for you? OMG... you can't mean... cashmere emotional condoms? The best knitter I know is my mega cool, always surrounded by an entourage with girls clinging to his every word, 18 year old nephew! Knits hats and sells 'em to skiers. ("HeadKace" is the brand, heh.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesuslizard Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thank You! "We came, we saw, we kicked an enormous amount of ass!"

τροβαδούρος Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 This grows tedious. The chapter, albeit short, is relegated to the past. Once still messengers spirit away the plume to gild to seal the day. For now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maven2blue Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I've seen videos where he kicks the mic stand out the way. No big deal. Looks like he's just having fun. Nothing wrong with fierce either. Actually, kind of tantalizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 You can see Robert's beaming smile at the end of this song as he watching Jason bash his kit. He didn't throw the mic out of frustration or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazz Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 No, not frustration, more of a symbolic gesture.....i.e. that's zeppelin finished for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravellingRiversideWoman Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Watched some stuff again on Youtube last night, and though he is not gleefully hopping around the place, we shouldnt read *too* much into all of this. As some informed people have pointed out, any hint of a solemn/forlorn mood can be attributed to the momentous tribute to Ahmet , exacerbated by the sadness over a terminally ill friend that was brought over to see the show. As for tossing around the mic, I think I recall seeing him do this at other shows, ie with he Strange Sensation...just a bit of stage antics IMHO.

artur Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 So he sings like a monster- at his age- and carries the emotions of the songs thruout the whole concert, and yet he has to behave like a sockknitting granny? Get real! More power to Plant. :hysterical: :hysterical: That's the best one I've ever read CHEEEEEERS!!!!!!!! :kiss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
