*Accompanying Notes*
The Led Zeppelin camp must have been upset when Plant & Krauss’ 2007 album made such an impact at this year’s Grammys. That “tour” looks further and further out of reach. Well doubters need not look any further than here. The pair’s shows are a varied mix of old-fashioned folk music and dramatically updated Led Zeppelin mysticism. When Plant & Krauss scream the “bring it back, bring it back” repeatedly on Battle Of Evermore, you’re left wondering whether it’s Zeppelin or P&K you want to “bring back”.  For Robert Plant this pairing has been an astute career move, a reinvention that has worked while staying true to his English folk roots. Krauss hasn’t done badly either. From the usual critic’s acclaim she’s accustomed to, now she’s also got the popularity and album sales. All done without compromising on music quality. In this day and age, that’s truly exceptional. Aside from a TV broadcast of Austin City Limits, Plant and Krauss’ shows have never circulated in soundboard quality. This show is a rare exception. As far as we know, no lossless copy has circulated on the net. We can only guess that an official live album and DVD is in the works.  Meanwhile, this is a tasty appetizer.  And a sincere get well soon greeting to guitarist Buddy Miller, who suffered a heart attack on Feb 19. Miller is currently recovering from a triple bypass heart surgery.
