Robert Plant, Band of Joy Resumse Tour

Robert Plant and his Band of Joy of have resumed their tour of the U.S. During recent shows, Plant has replaced the traditional "We Bid You Good Night" with Bob Dylan's "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall."

In Plant's first encounter with Dylan, at a press reception in LA in 1975, Led Zeppelin's manager had introduced himself, saying, "I'm Peter Grant, and I'm the manager of Led Zeppelin," to which Dylan replied, "Don't come to me with your problems."

All these years later, one has to wonder what old one Bob would think of the other covering one of his greatest hits.

The shows on previous legs of the tour have been some of Plant's most inspired live performances in years.

Jim Fusilli of the Wall Street Journal said, "The concerts are an eclectic mix pulled together by the charm and force of Mr. Plant's personality, the wonder of his voice and his spirited band."
