  • 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.

  • 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).
