Unlike the review of L.A.’s Greek Theatre show & some 45 – 60 shows prior to the setting for Philadelphia, it was a warm and welcomed performance as the tour seems to be winding down. The concertgoers in Philadelphia got exactly what they expected from this lineup. Even T-Bone was cheered when Robert Plant introduced him. Screams for T-Bone could be heard at every corner of the venue.

Philadelphia has always been rich with admirers & musicians that lean towards a blues, folk & bluegrass music, not to leave out those that had been raised with Led Zeppelin’s music in their lives. There was no doubt that the crowd had known exactly what they could expect from this lineup and I didn’t see or hear one person look bored or as if they expected something more in a rock Zeppelin format. Quite the contrary, as the performance was more than what most would have expected in this concert. It delivered a great sounding performance on a beautiful summer evening that had a cool breeze throughout the amphitheatre.

If this stop in Philadelphia would have had a 2nd night, I am sure many of the same people who attended the 1st evening performance would have attended the 2nd evening.

I am hoping that there may be a second CD release with this lineup or perhaps a live recording or video from the tour available in the future. With so much Americana music to be covered, the voices of Plant & Krauss with T-Bone and group would be a fantastic follow-up to “Raising Sand”.

Boredom was never an issue at the Philadelphia leg of this tour. Smiles, Cheers and a good feeling as you left the show made this a spectacular event!

If you have an HDTV, that “Crossroads” episode is appearing regularly on the MHD channel.

That's a start, at least…
