The Adventures of Percy and Pagey - Part 1

Something silly that just came to me.

Talking between songs

I watched the first three hours of the Earl's Court video recently and I noticed how much Robert talks between songs - mostly to himself but occasionally to the band. It's much better than just leaping on stage, whacking out a full set before bowing out for the night. You'd feel much more of a part of an experience if the band actually appeared human during the gig, I think.

My favourite bit, not actually from that gig, is at the end of No Quarter recorded in Seattle in 1977. On this he says:

"Well I guess it's a funny thing to tell you that when you're deaf in one ear, but do you know what's happened? It's clear again! It's the strangest cure I've ever known."

There was also one point I think on the Earl's Court gig where Robert says something about "There's always the Eighties!" - if only he knew...

Misheard Lyrics

I'm not a lyrics person but I know when I've misheard something.

The Rain Song has a line "I've felt the coldness of my winter" and yet the way Robert Plant sings it, it sounds like "A Phil Collins of my winter". Silly Percy.

I'm sure there are many others which will feature on here at some point...sorry!
