Funny Retirement Clipart

& Robert Plant Band of Joy, Palais des Sports, October 24, 2010

Frustrating. That is the term that best sums up this short concert, certainly neither bad nor dishonorable from a rock icon that you will still have been more inspired. Of course long ago that Robert Plant has turned its back on the ease, refusing the long-awaited reunion of a legendary group and the mountain of dollars going with, preferring to devote himself in peace to projects so far from the sonic fury seventies. That he was rather successful in recent years, with a handful of outstanding discs ("Mighty Rearranger" easily ranks among the best recordings of his career), crowned by a real critical and popular acclaim.

With Band of Joy, Plant has obviously wanted to put a little behind, rediscover the pleasure of playing in a group which would be almost a regular member, vain chimera from the man who was singer of one of the most popular training of all time. It should also wait for Band of Joy revisits a title Led Zeppelin for the public sort of polite reserve, under the amused eye of Plant ("Where were you during the first song?"). The will highlight the musicians of his group may be laudable but it is close to some trouble when they start to take turns in front of the stage, their leader relegated to backup singer luxury.
Those who made the trip hoping to glean a few crumbs of the legend zepellinienne have their bone to pick with "Houses of the holy" or "Rock and Roll" performed fairly soon ... rock and roll, a group not pleasant but not exactly overflowing with energy. A

however much energy during this part brilliantly performed by Justin Adams and Juldeh Camara, whose blend of African music and blues-rock is a good continuation of what Robert Plant was undertaken once with his friend Jimmy Page ...
