Robert Plant & Alison Krauss
At my second show at The Greek in as many weeks, I caught Robert Plant & Alison Krauss with T-Bone Burnett in the backing band. Wow! Yeah, it was awesome to hear a bluegrass version of “Black Dog” and their cover of “The Battle of Evermore” was note perfect but the sheer beauty of the songs and the musical talent was well worth the price of admission (full disclosure: a friend hooked me up with free tickets). Robert Plant still has his rock n’ roll swagger and Alison Krauss sounds like an angel. Okay, it’s not a full throttle rock act but this show might just be the gem of the summer.
