Acting
Intimate musical performances, recorded live at the desk of All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen.
Robert Plant is joined by his Sensational Space Shifters to perform songs from the album Carry Fire ahead of their UK tour, alongside some of his classic tracks.
Robert Plant and The Sensational Space Shifters delivered a vibrant and spirited performance at Pinkpop 2014. Classic Led Zeppelin songs such as Black Dog, Going to California, Ramble On, and Whole Lotta Love were given new arrangements incorporating blues, folk, African rhythms, and psychedelic rock. Plant sang with power, playfulness, and effortless authority, while the band created a rich, dynamic sound. The concert demonstrated how he could pay tribute to his past without getting stuck in nostalgia. The result was timeless.
Robert Plant formed his current band The Sensational Space Shifters in 2012 and has been recording and touring with them ever since. Robert Plant has always introduced music from many cultures into his work and the Sensational Space Shifters blend of African rhythms and melodies, rock music, and folk roots is his latest incarnation. In October 2016 they took part in David Lynch's inaugural Festival of Disruption at the Ace Hotel Theater in Los Angeles, an event that raised funds for The David Lynch Foundation. The set featured tracks from the band's 2014 album Lullaby and...The Ceaseless Roar alongside fascinating Space Shifters re-workings of Led Zeppelin classics.
