Straight to favourites! This sensational collaboration got my wife into Robert Plant and I am a huge Led Zeppelin fan for many years. It just goes to show that Plant is the quintessential vocal artist of the century. His diversity of style and vocal range are second to none. Krauss has an absolutely beautiful voice - priceless! Thanks for putting this up!

No problem my friend glad to share one of the more um...sportsman like stories in the world of Zeppelin. The legend goes kind of like this. Back on one of their very first US tours ('69 I think) they were staying at The Edgewater Hotel in Seattle. It's a hotel that extends into Puget Sound so you can fish off of your room's balcony. They even rented out poles in the lobby. Anyhow, Bonham and Richard Cole (tour manager) and some blokes from another band had a red haired groupie (CONTINUED BELOW)

(CONTINUED) in their room (324) and she was kind of annoying. So one of the fellas (Bonham perhaps) caught a mudshark and Cole said "so how would your red-snapper like to me this red-snapper?" The groupie was tied up and the red-snappers were acquainted. Apparently the girl really enjoyed it (that must have been a lovely smell). Rumor is there is video footage. These days something like that doesn't sound too crazy, but back then it created a legend and that is the story my friend.

i work at a restaurant in malibu, california. he was in having dinner. we ended up talking quite a bit over the course of his meal. he couldn't have been more engaged/engaging. the years haven't blunted his ardor for "flying his kite," as he told me his mother characterized his muse.
all the best,
michael
