Hi, I'm sure this question has been asked before but since I was just watching the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert, I was curious to know which song does Robert Plant sing just before "Crazy little thing called love"? Led Zepp song? |
| RedSpecial1979 26.07.2006 23:14 |
A smattering of "Thank You", a Zepp song. |
| INXS 26.07.2006 23:22 |
Thanks! |

It was kashmir, in the opening before crazy little thing called love. |
| john bodega 28.07.2006 02:22 |
Me no get it. If they dubbed the hell out of CLTCL and released it, why didn't they just dub the hell out of Innuendo and release that too? |
| bitesthedust 29.07.2006 05:43 |
don't you mean "Cwazy Little Thing Called Love"? |

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails Across the sea of years With no provision but an open face To flaunt the straits of fear My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon I will return again Sure as the dust that blows high in June When moving through Kashmir Through our sorrow All through our splendour Don't take offence at my Innuendo... ...take offence at my inuuendo... ...innuendo... |

The back of the VHS said Kashmir was the intro to CLTCL. I'd love to know who was in charge of that one... |

Robert sucks live anyway. Although I have watched a DVD seeing him play with Jimmy Page somewhere in Asia and Africa I believe. That was really nice. Also other 'artists' were playing with them and they were playing some really weird musical instruments. But anyway, a nice DVD! |

actually i think he sang "cwazy lil sing called love".i agree he is horrible live. |
| Bambi 05.08.2006 00:32 |
YES ON MY TRIBUTE TAPE FROM 1992 ON VIDEO IT SAYS INTRO, KASHMIR THE HE STARTS CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE. |
| bigV 06.08.2006 16:00 |
Folks, "Kashmir" is the song that was the interlude during "Innuendo". "Thank You" is the song, which connected "Innuendo" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love". You can easily find this information and much more on this amazing website: link V. |

Easily the best rock singer I have seen live |
| Estranged 25.02.2016 13:35 |
I think he did great on CLTCL. And the Kashmir/Innuendo transition was pretty cool. Any one saying that Plant has always sucked live is out of his mind. |

Much of Innuendo's vocal is placed in quite a high register with many fifth octave notes. Plant in his prime (LZ I - IV period) would probably have nailed it as he possessed a unique head voice that allowed him to sing those notes with apparent ease. But constant touring and recording together with smoking, partying and alcohol took its toll of course, as did doing multiple gigs with a flu. You just can't expect to sing like he did without taking care of your voice very carefully. In the end, he had to go through throat surgery in 1974 IIRC, and didn't let his voice rehabilitate after that - instead he continued to smoke and drink. He still possessed a very interesting voice with that slightly broken tone we can hear on Kashmir for example, but it was but a shadow of his former vocal prowess. To his own admission most of the stuff on Presence sounds quite weak (sitting in a wheelchair during the studio sessions certainly didn't make things better either) and I personally can barely stand hearing him struggling and going flat in their later stuff such as Fool In The Rain. Freddie Mercury was, according to an early interview I can't remember the name or exact date of, told by his doctors to start nursing his voice when it started to act up slightly during (I think) the late SHA tour, otherwise he might have had to undergo surgery as well. Fortunately he never permanently lost his voice and pretty much maintained his great range while actually gaining power and weight to his tone as his career progressed. Perhaps he just never went as reckless with his voice, as he's known to have gone for alternate melodies when his high range started to drop off a bit (Japanese Jazz Tour gigs for example). He knew not to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs. |

Plant fucked the tribute concert by being shit at singing. End. |

Couldn't agree more, fair enough he didn't learn the lyrics to Innuendo as well as he should have but his overall performance was woeful. I love the guy and I love his style but he had a major off night. Still a total legend though. |

What i can remember from his explanation was that he was on vacation with a girlfriend in Morocco and he was trying to memorize the lyrics and for some reason he said that he simply could not remember it. And he said he tried and i believe him. You can see his body language as he was performing the song with Queen. It's the body language that sends the message "I'm fucked!" And why would he put himself in this (ridiculous) situation? I know that he doesn't like to reharse Led Zeppelin, but that is his stuff. This was a very special occasion and he was performing with other artists, so in this case i believe he did the best he could do. Of course, it would be better if he had a plan B, like a screen to look at the lyrics or something of the same effect. |

However, hindsight is 20/20, so I understand they probably didn't realise how bad it was until it actually happened. |
| AlbaNo1 01.03.2016 15:15 |
Didnt he throw in the word "premonition" at some point in desperation when it isnt even in the lyrics. I actually thought that was pretty good improvising. |

He definitely struggled with Innuendo. Sticking in a verse of Kashmir not only fit nicely during the interlude, it amped up the audience. Most fans probably thought they'd never hear anything from Kashmir again. It was still 2 years before the Page & Plant reunion came to fruition. Crazy started a little weak as well. However, after the solo, he did really well on the a cappella verse especially playing to the audience, repeating 'Until I'm ready...'three times letting it build with each repeat. Then once the band kicked in for the rocking ending, he sang it more in his own vocal style & it really worked. Plant looked more comfortable through the ending than at any other point in his performance. He finished very strong. |

And to think that's far better than the Zeppelin days post 1972 - it often took him the first hour of the gig to warm up, not just two songs. |
