Reality Bites!!

[Steve Thomson <steve.thomson@xxxxxx>]

Well said, Nech! There are a lot of excellent songs from Plant's early solo 
period 
that he never touches now. Instead of mutilating the Zeppelin classics, why 
doesn't 
he update Stranger Here, Burning Down One Side, The Way I Feel, Pink and Black, 
Slow Dancer, etc.? Anniversary or Wreckless Love would fit well with his 
Strange 
Sensation approach. Watching You would be a far better candidate for the 
percussive 
world-music wannabe massacre of NQ. It would also satisfy those 80's Plant 
freaks 
who wanted to walk out of the long guitar solos during Page-Plant concerts 
(they 
sort of remind me of those valley-girl Wings fans who asked, like, what band, 
like, 
was Paul McCartney in, like, before Wings!).
