1988 - In February 1988, Robert Plant released his 4th solo album, entitled Now and Zen. The disc went to #6 on the Billboard charts in the US and climbed to #10 in the UK, The album would eventually be certified triple platinum. In several ways, Now and Zen marked a return to Plant's time with led Zeppelin. First, the disc integrated the blues into numerous tracks, unlike his prior solo album. Second, Plant actually sampled several Zeppelin songs including Whole Lotta Love, Dazed and Confused, and Black Dog. Finally, former Led Zep guitarist played on 2 tracks on Now and Zen, Heaven Knows and Tall Cool One. This soundboard recording captures Plant a few weeks before the release of Now and Zen, at the Marquee Club in London on February 3, 1988, 29 years ago today, playing a small gig to preview several of the tracks from the upcoming disc.

Saw Plant on this tour when he played the Philadelphia Spectrum with Stevie Ray Vaughn. He took a video of the crowd exhorting his favorite soccer team before tearing into "Big Log." But I will remember the show most for SRV discussing his recent sobriety and saying, "You have to come home from the party." Just over two years later he would be dead in a plane crash.
Thank you for the great boot! Just a note about zippyshare though. I like their quick downloads but this time the download link from their site sent me to several false locations before eventually providing the correct link - maybe because I'm not a member... It was concerning and others like me need to be wary, so as not to download junk.
