Robert Plant<\/a> and his new band Saving Grace made their North American debut with a dazzling 14-song show at the Capitol Theater in Wheeling, West Virgina Thursday night.<\/p>\n You can see the full set list and fan-shot video from the show below.<\/p>\n The concert included six songs from the band’s recently released debut album<\/a>, five from Plant’s days in Led Zeppelin<\/a>, and a cover of Neil Young<\/a>‘s “For the Turnstiles.”<\/p>\n “I knew he was going to be great, but…. wow<\/em>,” I heard a concert-goer say to his friend as we all left the venue at the end of the show. That sums it up perfectly – not just the show but the last four decades of Plant’s recording and touring career.<\/p>\n From Strange Sensation to Band of Joy to the Sensational Space Shifters, from his work with Alison Krauss or Jimmy Page or Saving Grace, Plant continually rejects nostalgia and explores new territory with impeccable taste in both material and band mates.<\/p>\n Saving Grace presents itself as a true collaboration, with Plant leaving plenty of space for the rest of the band –\u00a0singer Suzi Dian, drummer Oli Jefferson, guitarist Tony Kelsey, banjo and string player Matt Worley, and cellist Barney Morse-Brown – to lead and shine.<\/p>\n In a live setting the songs from the Saving Grace<\/em>\u00a0album\u00a0carried a bit more of a welcome edge and seemed extra dynamic. The long note Plant and Dian held together to dramatically close out their cover of Low’s “Everybody’s Song” was a perfect example, and one of several times the performance brought the sold-out crowd to its feet.<\/p>\n https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/saving-grace-robert-plant\/<\/p>\n
