Robert Plant & Allison Krauss

Nice concert. Walter liked it more than I. The sound in Rupp Arena is fine on subtle numbers but turns rockers into a thundering, flat mess. To be honest, I thought the Zep reworkings were a bit too precious and overwrought. Just a bit though.

I agree with Walter the best song was "the sterling Gene Clark weeper Through the Morning, Through the Night." This was a performance for the ages. Superb.

Does anyone have a purer voice than Krauss? Doubt it.

Summary:
Wonderful eclectic set list.
Virtuoso backup band.
Fine performances.
Crappy venue.
