“The playing is extraordinary as you’d expect and the gentlemanly Plant allows room for improvisation. Zeppelin gems such as “Gallows Pole” and “Tangerine” are logical choices, but even “Black Dog,” “Ramble On” and a set closing “Rock and Roll” reverberate with fresh vibrancy as the American musicians funnel this British rock through their own sensibilities and history. The terrific camera work and beautifully mixed surround sound are just cherries on top of a riveting and extraordinarily conceived performance.” |

“In the interview included as one of the Extras on this live DVD, Robert Plant muses upon the history of his Band Of Joy, from its original ’60s versions as, firstly, a soul group playing Otis Clay covers, then a hippie combo that would effectively join forces with the New Yardbirds to form Led Zeppelin, through to its more recent incarnation in which his interests in Americana and psychedelia have become ingeniously braided.” |

“The DVD mirrors my memory of the Beacon show from the same tour in January 2011, a performance which ranks among the most electrifying I’ve seen Plant give. And, yes, that includes the Zeppelin dates I saw in the ’70s.” |
