When a rock legend comes to your backyard, you better recognize. And at 66, Robert Plant is a living legend.
Better known as the voice of Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant is responsible for defining his generation with such hits as “Whole Lotta Love,” “Dazed and Confused,” and “Ramble On.” Not to mention “The Rain Song” and “No Quarter.” But his career has lived strong since his dazed and confused days, and on May 31, 2015 a packed Santa Barbara Bowl was lucky enough to receive the legend.
Tall in stature and humble in demeanor, Robert Plant emerged on stage in a shiny pink shirt under a near full moon ready to rock the house. With his signature high pitch-vocals echoing throughout the Bowl, Plant worked his way through some classic hits, throwing in his new material along the way. Impressively, his voice is as golden as it must have been nearly 40 years ago.
Not to be overlooked, The Sensational Space Shifters added their own flavor to the set, nicely remixing the classics to be reflective of a more modern era. Heavy guitar, bright lights, and added keyboard, rejuvenated the songs, giving the hits a new edge.
The Englishman took note of his age, joking with the audience as he played through the night. But in the end, there was nothing but a whole lotta love for this gent.
