dave2007 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Just back from Dusseldorf and my first viewing of the Plant /Krauss tour. I knew it would be good but it exceeded all my expectations. Enthusiastic German crowd including one out and out ROCKER (complete with AC/DC t-shirt) who kept shouting for 'Rock N Roll'. Robert 'acknowledged' him before the band went into "Nothin" ...this sent him crazy and eventually and he was falling over and bumping into others who were seated....he was bundled out by security after barging into the wrong people (ie. Rod McSweeney and other laminate wearing crew) The harmonies were amazing...Krauss has an amazing voice and we all know about Roberts. I expected Battle of evermore to be the Zep highlight but the version of Black Country Woman was even better. What I wasn't expecting was "In The Mood" !!!! Although it was a medley..in that Alison went into another song in the middke before they returned to In The Mood. Sorry no complete set list. I'm too busy enjoying the show to keep writing stuff down. Off to Paris now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 he was bundled out by security after barging into the wrong people (ie. Rod McSweeney and other laminate wearing crew) I think you meant to say Rod McSween, the Managing Director of International Talent Booking (ITB), who has promoted more than a few of Robert's shows in the past.

Although it was a medley..in that Alison went into another song in the middke before they returned to In The Mood. Wow! That would be cool to witness live. Even if it was just part of it. I heard it on the radio last night, and it was refreshing to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brspled Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Thank you for the review! I like Düselldorf, I even considered going to this concert, but, well, it didn't work. Maybe another time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, bad habit of mine. I always refer to him as McSweeney. I have no idea why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 In The Mood must have been great to see. I kept thinking they'd do Big Log but so far it hasn't shown up. Seems they're switching songs around which is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabrice Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 The concert was just fantastic. No more to say. Every song was received well to very well. The only annoying thing was an idiot from the audience requesting STAIRWAY. I'll post some pics tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
