eternal light Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I was really looking forward to another interview from Mr. Big Stuff. I was hoping that after he finishes discussing how hard it is to get respect, maybe he'll talk about music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I love how the banner ad at the top is for AARP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I love how the banner ad at the top is for AARP. I hope that's just a coincidence. Remember, this interview was taped back in June at the time of his MSG shows at the WAMU Theatre(I was there and they put on a great show), so some of the interview may seem a bit dated. That's in regard to what has transponded since then with all the rumors etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's in regard to what has transponded since then with all the rumors etc. Just watched the interview, no new revelations really. Katie Couric asked the usual point blank question about LZ and received the usual answer that he just can't see himself going back to the old stuff (my paraphrase, I am sure the interview will be up on Youtube later). Also, I got the impression that the plans for the follow-up project are less concrete than everyone assumes, the response was "we will see what T Bone comes up with next". I do know for a fact that Robert has done some recording with Buddy Miller in September, so it could be that his Americana exploration may involve projects with musicians other than Alison. I have always thought that the real key to him reuniting with Page/JPJ/Jason would be fresh material that would be as critically and commercially relevant as the Raising Sand material. There have been many implications on this board that he and Page are having relationship issues, however they have had many Gallagher brother moments over the years (sorry for the reference but if you are looking for humor please pick up the latest Spin and read the Noel Gallagher interview, it is absolutely hilarious) and these have been overcome. I really think Plant likes artistic challenges and he wants to work with whoever can provide that. Which, at this time, is T Bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxie Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Thanks for the review Kentuckygirl. In the summer I would've bet money that they would have done another album and tour sooner rather than later. But now nothing seems to be set in stone anymore as far as anything goes. I just checked on YouTube to see if it had been posted - nothing yet. But I did find this with Robert & Alison inducting T-Bone into the TEC Hall Of Fame. Never knew about this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew about this: The rumors at the Americana awards show afterparty was that everyone involved in Raising Sand will be taking a "break" to work on other projects, and that no firm decisions have been made regarding RS part two. Everyone assumes a follow-up will be done, but the timeline is in question. RP's statement that he will not be touring with ANYONE for two years seems to confirm this rumor. I would like to see a live DVD/CD released from the Raising Sand tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see a live DVD/CD released from the Raising Sand tour. There were plans to film in St. Louis and at one point I thought added a second show but that didn't seem to materialise. I think a live dvd professionally shot would be great. The interview was good but didn't really reveal too much. Not a big fan of Katie Couric and felt she could have asked more pertinent questions (even recognising this was taped back in early June). I thought it was funny when she posed the Zep question and he said "you have pretty eyes" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotplant Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I was thankfully woke from some sweet dreaming by my daughter so I saw this. Yeah, nothing new for us here really. But seeing Robert charm Katie was cute enough to make missing my dream worth it. Loved him showing his famous boots. And the clips of him and Alison were cute too.

Led Zep Gurl Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Watched the show this morning too. Not much new with the questions asked or the answers they gave either. I think he is going to focus on new music and not relive the past with Page, JPJ. I really think him loosing his child, his marriage and his best friend, Bonzo is why in some reasons. Neither Page or JPJ were there at the services when his son died and I think this is something that has gotta bother him. Bonzo was the one that talked him into coming back to LZ after that and then Bonzo died. I think he lost alot (child, marriage and then Bonzo) towards the "end" of LZ and wants to look forward with different music. I think he enjoys doing LZ songs in different ways and that is why he continues to perform them in different ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alwizard03 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Watched it as I am stuck in My House .It was interesting but kind of depressing from the point that I want a Zep reunion and Robert has once again said no no no but I will continue to support anything Him and the rest of the Guys decide to do.If that means traveling around the Country so be it.First I need to recuperate from the black plague or whatever this crap wants to be called.

mstork Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Good interview but my favorite part was when the 1973 Black Dog segued into the 2007 Black Dog, just reinforced for me how great they still sound. Man i hope they release that DVD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninelives Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Where in the hell is the interview?! There is just a list of cities. I don't know if you can see it online. It was on CBS Sunday Morning today unless you're referring to something else in which case I'm confused! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 The list of cities was so you could find your own city and the time the show would be aired on CBS--bit late now, but I'm sure it'll be on Youtube round about now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Hartman Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 It was a cute interview. They look cute together holding hands and walking along like that. Alison was married until 2001 and is known as "The First Lady Of Bluegrass." I hate to use the term reliable sources because this was learned some time ago. It is said Alison was a huge fan of Plant from very young. I heard she had the typical poster and all http://images.askmen.com/galleries/singer/...s-picture-1.jpg More at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alison_Krauss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume it was him that had the posters of Zep not her. She has commented on being pretty floored by his solo works and how diverse it is.

Melanie_72 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Yes, she said in the interview it was her brother who was into Zep, not her. Her brother Viktor is indeed the bigger Zeppelin fan than Alison is. She mentioned more of his solo work that she really liked the most. I missed the interview. Hopefully it will show up on Youtube.

A few years ago Viktor put out a cd and Alison sings on some of the tunes. Not sure how many as I don't own it. However, they cover Robert's "Big Log". It's pretty much true to the original, but I think it's quite enjoyable. The temp is a tad slower than the original. Here is their version of the song. It's actually Robert's 1983 video with Viktor and Alison's audio of the tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to his myspace page and heard a couple of tracks that he is done. In his biography, it mentions that Led Zeppelin is one of his influences and that Jonesy is one of his idols!! How cool is that! I bet their parents are very proud of them both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
