Robert Plant Bestätigt Zwei Termine in Berlin Und Dresden PRESSEMELDUNG ROBERT PLANT BESTÄTIGT ZWEI TERMINE IN BERLIN UND DRESDEN NEUFORMIERTE BAND SENSATIONAL SPACE SHIFTERS VOR LIVE-PREMIERE VVK-START AM FREITAG, 13. DEZEMBER Zuletzt stattete der ehemalige Led Zeppelin-Sänger und langjährige Solo-Künstler Robert Plant den Fans hierzulande im Sommer 2011 in Berlin einen Besuch mit seiner Band Of Joy ab. Jetzt kehrt Robert Plant zum ersten Mal mit den neuformierten Sensational Space Shifters für zwei Konzerte nach Deutschland zurück: Der Grammy-Gewinner und seine Mitstreiter spielen am 16. Juli in Berlin auf der Zitadelle und am 17. Juli in Dresden auf der Freilichtbühne Großer Garten JUNGE GARDE. Tickets gibt es ab Freitag, 13. Dezember an den bekannten Vorverkaufsstellen, unter der bundesweiten Tickethotline 01806 / 999 000 555 (0,20 EUR/Verbindung aus dt. Festnetz / max. 0,60 EUR/Verbindung aus dt. Mobilfunknetz) oder im Internet unter www.ticketmaster.de. Bereits ab dem 11. Dezember bieten Ticketmaster und Eventim Online-Presales an. Nach der Auflösung der Band Of Joy Ende 2011 gründete Plant Anfang 2012 mit den Sensational Space Shifters seine aktuelle Solo-Band, mit der er äußerst erfolgreich durch Europa, Nord- und Südamerika und Australien tourte. Die Sensational Space Shifters bestehen aus dem afrikanischen Multiinstrumentalisten Juldeh Camara, den beiden Gitarristen Skin Tyson und Justin Adams, Bassist Billy Fuller und Schlagzeuger Dave Smith sowie John Baggott an den Keyboards. Als Frontmann der legendären britischen Hardrocker Led Zeppelin hat Robert Plant (Jahrgang 1948) seit den Sechzigern über 300 Millionen Tonträger verkauft und Musikgeschichte geschrieben. Songs wie „Stairway To Heaven“, „Whole Lotta Love“, „Black Dog“, „No Quarter“, „Rock And Roll“, „Kashmir“ oder „Immigrant Song“ sind Genre-Klassiker, seine prägnante Stimme das Vorbild für Generationen nachfolgender Sänger. Nach dem tragischen Tod von Drummer John Bonham im Jahr 1980 und der anschließenden Auflösung von Led Zeppelin trat Plant eine erfolgreiche Solokarriere an, die ihm unter anderem 2009 für das Album „Raising Sand“ mit Country-Sängerin Alison Krauss einen Grammy bescherte. Er tourte in den letzten Jahrzehnten mit Größen wie Phil Collins, nahm Alben mit Jeff Beck auf und führte sein eigenes musikalisches Erbe mit dem Page/Plant-Projekt „Unledded“ (1994) gemeinsam mit Led Zeppelin-Gitarrist Jimmy Page weiter. Die Reunion von Led Zeppelin 2007 in London wollten 20 Millionen Fans erleben, die 20.000 Tickets für das einmalige Konzert (als „Celebration Day“ auf DVD/CD erhältlich) wurden schließlich personalisiert verlost. Mit den Sensational Space Shifters verspricht Robert Plant eine musikalische Reise durch African Dance, Electronic Beats, Mississippi Blues und natürlich unvergessliche Versionen seiner Led Zeppelin-Klassiker.

  • Live from the Artists Den #304 “Robert Plant and the Band of Joy” Recorded February 9, 2011, War Memorial Auditorium, Nashville, TN
    (l to r): Robert Plant, Patty Griffin Credit: Erika Goldring Live from the Artists Den #304 “Robert Plant and the Band of Joy” Recorded February 9, 2011, War Memorial Auditorium, Nashville, TN Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Robert Plant is over 40 years into his storied career in music – and still going strong. In 1967 he formed a group called the Band of Joy with drummer John Bonham, before the two joined with guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones the following year to form the legendary band Led Zeppelin. After his 2007 Raising Sand collaboration with Alison Krauss garnered him five Grammy Awards (including Album of the Year and Record of the Year), Plant created a new Band of Joy, which features fellow luminaries Buddy Miller and Patty Griffin. Their widely acclaimed album, Band of Joy , was nominated for Best Americana Album and Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance at the 2011 Grammy Awards. A rare snowy day in Nashville, Tennessee, set the stage for an even rarer event – an intimate concert by rock icon Robert Plant at the War Memorial Auditorium . Performing with his new, Grammy-nominated group – aptly titled the Band of Joy – Plant played both Led Zeppelin classics and new songs that continue to have an impact on the music scene today. Song List “Black Dog” “Angel Dance” “House Of Cards” “Cindy, I’ll Marry You Someday” “Satan Your Kingdom Must Come Down” “Somewhere Trouble Don’t Go” “A Satisfied Mind” “Move Up” “Down To The Sea” “Ramble On” “Gallows Pole” “Harm’s Swift Way” “Rock And Roll” “I Bid You Goodnight” 60 minutes.

  • Led Zeppelin
    For Linda, Evie, Mollie and Michael – always. Author’s Note While I have been fortunate over the years to have enjoyed the company of various ex-members and/or former employees of Led Zeppelin, it should be born in mind at all times that this is an unauthorised biography, written objectively and with no undue pressure from any outside influence to do anything other than tell the story as I honestly see it. It should also be clearly understood that the italicised ‘flashback’ passages of the text are not the actual words of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Peter Grant, nor are they actual quotes. Whilst they are all based on thorough biographical research, the facts of which can be found in the Notes & Sources section at the end of this book, the words themselves are the product of my imagination. Contents Prologue – Heaven Part One: Ascension! 1. The Dawn of Now 2. Daze of My Youth 3. Light and Shade 4. Going To California 5. High in the Sky 6. Cannons! 7. Cracking the Whip 8. A Bustle in Your Hedgerow Part Two: The Curse of King Midas 9. So Mote It Be 10. All That Glitters 11. We Are Your Overlords 12. The Golden Gods 13. The Devil in His Hole 14. Caesar’s Chariot 15.

  • Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters
    2014 Next Wave Festival NONESUCH RECORDS AT BAM Greetings At BAM, we work with fantastic artists from all over the world. It is no coincidence that time and again, we have presented artists who have found a recording home with Nonesuch. To help celebrate the label’s 50th year, we are showcasing a diverse slate of the imprint’s adventurous creators in 14 different programs—including many alumni, and quite a few who make exciting BAM debuts in the 2014 Next Wave. The range is astonishing. It includes artists who have revolutionized the contemporary classical canon, or have expanded it in ingenious ways. Those based in idioms like jazz, folk, and bluegrass who have honed remarkably distinct voices. International stars reaching passionate new audiences. And rock icons crafting fresh collaborations while reminding us of why they’re so popular to begin with. We salute Nonesuch on this milestone, and thank its president, Bob Hurwitz, for working with BAM to bring you this terrific lineup of intrepid musical artists. Sincerely, Karen Brooks Hopkins Joseph V. Melillo 2014 Next Wave Festival NONESUCH RECORDS AT BAM Greetings BAM started the Next Wave Festival in 1983, a year before I got to Nonesuch. One day, out of the blue, Harvey Lichtenstein, the head of BAM, called my office at ECM Records, where I worked at that time, and insisted that I go that night to see a new show he was producing, The Gospel at Colonus. I dutifully changed my plans that night and saw the show—when Harvey called you had to take it seriously! And he was right—the next morning I called Mo Ostin, the head of our parent company, Warner Bros.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Sarah Hahne PRESS CREDENTIALS AVAILABLE San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino (909) 475-1800 x4222 [email protected] ROBERT PLANT BRINGS BAND OF JOY TO THE SAN MANUEL STAGE Former Led Zeppelin Vocalist and Six-Time Grammy® Award Winner Stops in Inland Empire Casino San Manuel Indian Nation, Calif. – April 15, 2011 – Thursday, June 9, 2011, the legendary Robert Plant takes the San Manuel stage to perform with the Band of Joy. Tickets on sale today, and available at Ticketmaster.com and the San Manuel Box Office for $80, $90 and $100. In 1967, Plant’s career had already taken off when he formed the Band of Joy with John Bonham, and created two partnerships; one with Terry Reid another progressive musician, and the second with harmonica player and co-vocalist Alexis Korner. It was Reid who recommended Plant to Jimmy Page for a revised Yardbirds line-up, which eventually became Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin would excel as one of the most commercially successful and influential groups of the 1970s, however with the untimely death of Bonham in 1980, the group would disband. Since that time, Plant has put his wide-ranging fascination to good use on solo albums, with Page, and in recordings with bands like The Honeydrippers, Priory of Brion, and Strange Sensation. His performances reflect his embrace of West Coast psychedelic rock, roots blues, African music and traditional folk. In 2007, he continued to expand his horizons releasing the album “Raising Sand”, a collaboration with Alison Krauss. The album’s unlikely but magnificent blend earned innumerable critical raves as well as six Grammy® Awards, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year (for “Please Read the Letter,” a Plant/Page song).

Classificado como um artista “mainstream interseccional”, assim proposto pelos autores, Plant personifica a autenticidade do rock ao mesmo tempo em que sustenta a tradição dos seus tempos como vocalista do extinto grupoLed Zeppelin e ao buscar uma autonomia criativa em cada trabalho. Não obstante, está imerso aos ditames mercadológicos que envolvem o cenário musical. Para discutir essas questões, adotamos como corpus analítico os dez trabalhos solo do músico, os quais englobam um período que tem início em 1982, com Pictures at eleven, e vai até a sua última produção, Lullaby and...The ceaseless roar, lançado em 2014. Palavras-chave: rock, música popular massiva, mainstream, criatividade, mercado e consumo. En este trabajo se propone un estudio de la carrera de la cantante británica Robert Plant con respecto a los aspectos relacionados con el mundo de la música popular de masas (Janotti JUNIOR, 2006; 2007).
