Former LED ZEPPELIN frontman ROBERT PLANT rocked the crowd gathered at the Valletta Waterfront on Wednesday (July 18th) as he sang to a set which alternated between old Zeppelin classics and the new psychedelic feel of his latest album.
The Robert Plant concert brought an end to Malta's three-day Wine And Blues Festival which also included performances by JOHN MAYALL and SMOKIE amongst others.
Coming on stage sporting a t-shirt with crossbones printed on it, the rock legend made the crowd sway and mesh to the likes of 'Black Dog', 'Strange Sensation' and 'Whole Lotta Love'.
The sound of Plant's music has shifted from the classic metal sounds to a newer feel with the introductions of mandolins and Far Eastern cadences as well as a re-arrangement of 'Whole Lotta Love' which kept the riff and yet saw a gypsy-punk tinge added it. This however rocked the crowd nevertheless.
