Hello.
Perhaps a good ten-years-ago I was tripping on some magic mushrooms (or Hawaiian woodrose seeds) while walking along and listening to a Walkman radio.
Anyway, it was my good fortune to have stumbled upon a station that was broadcasting a live show of Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, from Sacramento, California, I think.
And so what really grabbed my attention was that opening the concert was some older fellow with a VERY thick Wales accent (though it might have been an Irish accent, not sure). Thus whilst the crowd began to roar with anticipation, the fellow in question began reading a VERY beautiful poem.
I don’t recall too many of the words to the poem, save something like, “…and when he awoke on the shore, he found in his hand a silver branch with white flowers … and a beautiful woman came to him …”
I’m not really much of a poem guy, but THAT really blew me away with how cool the words were combined with how the dude was saying them in a very slow and deliberate way … while the crowd’s roar began to rise as he continued along speaking them.
I am hoping that they might have made a CD of the concert in question, as just the opening alone would be well worth the price because it was so powerful and beautiful, IMHO. Thus, I ask, might any of you Plant/Page fans know off hand about said concert in question, and name the CD (if there is one)?
“Thanks!!!” in advance for any help.
