‘Robert Plant & The Sensational Space Shifters Live At David Lynch’s Festival Of Disruption’ Set For DVD Debut

By Tim Peacock | January 9, 2018

Legendary Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant has been performing live with The Sensational Space Shifters since 2012 and their much-acclaimed set at David Lynch’s inaugural Festival Of Disruption in Los Angeles in October 2016 is to be released on DVD & Digital Video through Eagle Rock Entertainment on 9 February 2018.

Available to own for the first time, Robert Plant & The Sensational Space Shifters Live At David Lynch’s Festival Of Disruption is a remarkable visual record of the band’s performance at LA’s Ace Hotel Theatre during one of the city’s most hotly-anticipated cultural events, raising money for the David Lynch Foundation, which aims to help children forced to grow up in an oppressive climate of poverty, violence and fear.

Performing with The Sensational Space Shifters, Robert Plant continues to shift the musical goalposts, blurring the lines between rock, blues, folk & world music and finding new life in exotic beats and African rhythms.  The band’s live performances have attracted widespread critical praise, with The Telegraph saying: “On record, the chemistry between them is hypnotic, but live it really catches fire.”

The band’s Festival Of Disruption setlist includes a new take on beloved Led Zeppelin classics, with stripped down versions of ‘Black Dog’ and ‘Whole Lotta Love’ meeting with a rapturous response from the packed theatre audience, with whom Plant enjoys a genuine rapport. Also included are ‘Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You’ and ‘Going to California’, alongside solo standouts ‘Turn It Up’, ‘The Enchanter/Rainbow’ and ‘Little Maggie’.

This is a rare opportunity for fans to witness the legendary frontman as they've never seen or heard him before.This David Lynch curated event aims to feature artists with ‘knowledge and mystery’, undoubtedly Robert Plant has an abundance of both.

Robert Plant & The Sensational Space Shifters Live At David Lynch’s Festival Of Disruption will be released on 9 February.

Very nice!

But only 8 tracks...

Will there be a Blu-Ray release with lossless audio?

Wish they would leave off "Black Dog" in favour of another song from the set. "Black Dog" never works as well as in the original arrangement. Just retire the song already.

Tickets to this were outrageously expensive, so I am happy to see any video release, no matter how edited.

Ward Records in Japan lists an upcoming Blu-ray release https://wardrecords.com/products/detail4355.html

I can't see it listed on Amazon, though. Looks like only the DVD version is being sold there.
