Still debating Robert Plant show in Mobile? He was off the chain with Alison Kraus at Bonnaroo 
- he’s still got the swagger, the moves, the voice, and the Zeppelinesque (they did a few Zep tunes, bluegrass style). His Band of Joy is a pretty strong addition, as you can see from this Paste Magazine article.
