Yeah, I get it. I chatted with a friend of his, who told me how little Plant feels he needs to go back there, and how much he enjoys moving on, growing, exploring.
I have seen him do some of these different types of arrangement live, such as his country-folk arrangements, when he was touring with Alison Kraus, and the World music type spin he went for at the Roundhouse iTunes music festival, back when they still did those there.
He is such an amazing artist. I love him so much. His new stuff, his old stuff. All of it. To hear Robert Plant rock out live is to feel alive.
But I'll never see Plant and Page together. Gotta be ok with that. :)
