Robert Plant at Sony Entertainment Centre
by manontherun on 2011-01-25Sony Centre For The Performing Arts - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5My girlfriend and I saw the Saturday Jan 22nd event with Mr. Plant and he did not disappoint. The guy still has the pipes and incredible stage presence. It really makes you hope he gets on board with the other Zep guys for one big show, but as my girlfriend says, why does he need to do that? She is 100% correct, but hey a guy can dream can't he! When he did Tangerine and Ramble On, the place was rocking. We just walked down the aisle to about 10 rows back and it was great. Security let things flow. Buddy Miller and the Griffin girl and Darrell Cole ( I think I have the name correct) were excellent band mates for his style of music. I also love the venue. It was our first visit to the Sony and you can bring your drinks to your seat....my God I was in heaven...no rushing to finish your beer to get back into your ACC overpriced venue, food, drink and t-shirt venue seat!! Even the Plant t-shirts were unreal.....imagine only $25.00 ( and of course the $10 ones outside...)...I asked the guy selling the shirts, what's with the consumer friendly pricing and he said.....Robert Plant doesn't care...he just wants everyone to be happy. Wow, what a refreshing attitude in today's money is everything society. I had seen Plant before with Paige and then on his own as the Strange Sensation and he did a couple of Zep heavies, but skipped them here....the version of Rock and Roll was done in a folksy version which I didn't care for, but he is the master and can do whatever the heck he likes so I am ok with that. As soon as my girl saw him enter the stage she said Oh My.....he's HOT! so I had to take the back seat to him for an hour and a half, but I can think of worse things. So now she has a WHOLE LOTTA LOVE for two guys!
