Led Zep Gurl Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 I don't know about the tension, but I did read in the comments a poster left saying that someone yelled some obscenities at Alison to get off the stage in St Louis. Yes, I read that too. That was from the St. Louis Post review in the comments. http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/entertain...C7?OpenDocument I don't recall hearing that but if they did that was horrible. The audience seemed to enjoy all the songs be it Alison singing or Robert singing, at least where I was sitting I really couldn't tell if people were more there for Robert or Alison or both. At one point it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop I thought! Everyone stayed seated during the show in my section except during calling for an encore. I was surprised more people didn't realize in advance when they were starting to do Black Dog or In the Mood or some others they had reworked. I could tell right away when they were going into one of those songs. Maybe I have watched too many Youtube videos of them so that is how I knew!

walterswalk Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thank you. Your reply is noted. However, lets just leave for others who will actually be attending the remaining shows to comment regarding my question. Can I ask you something?. Are you real?

I bet we can laugh for him though Edited to add: Cool pics and great review beatbo. The pics are reminiscent of our trip to Asheville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kentuckygirl Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I don't know about the tension, but I did read in the comments a poster left saying that someone yelled some obscenities at Alison to get off the stage in St Louis. Alison is much more relaxed onstage with Union Station, as she has been playing with that group for years. And she is the clear cut "leader" in stage presence and persona with Union Station. It was fun to watch her become more comfortable performing with Robert and TBone as the tour progressed. There was a huge difference in her onstage demeanor from opening night in Louisville to the final show of the summer dates in Nashville. Of course she needed time to adjust to the Zeppelin fans screaming out requests for Stairway, she sort of froze when that happened in Louisville. (Plant laughed it off). If I were Alison I would have sang Stairway unaccompanied by instruments (like Down to the River to Pray) just to stun the crowd. Because believe me, if Alison decided to sing Stairway she could. I do not think there is anything out there, opera or anything else, that she would not be able to sing. Not to take anything away from Robert, but Alison is as highly respected as a vocalist in her genre as he is in his genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxie Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I'm still amazed that Alison hasn't worn the same outfit twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninelives Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Agreed 100%!! She can sing the phonebook and make it sound exquisite! Well that would be an interesting song Do agree she has a beautiful voice indeed. her acapella version of Down to the River to Pray was pretty powerful on stage.
