Robert Plant plays Zeppelin at The Big Chill 2011

Former Led Zeppelin singer brings his Band Of Joy

Daniel Fahey - 07 August 2011

Opening with a cover of Led Zeppelin's 'Black Dog', the group soon had people up off the grass to sing along.

"This is the grand finale for the Band Of Joy," Plant told the crowd before 'Angel Dance'. "It's a suitable place to finish," he added, quipping: "It's only 45 minutes to get home as well."

The group then played another Zeppelin track, 'House Of The Holy', making it sound a lot more middle of the road than the original, before playing their reworking of Richard Thompson's 'House Of Cards'.

American singer-songwriter Darrel Scott joined the group to sing 'How Many Times Have You Heard Someone Say' before they performed Led Zeppelin's 'Thank You'.

Patty Griffin took vocal duties on 'Drowning Child' before they slipped in 'Misty Mountain Hop' and 'Shine It All Around'.

They finished with 'Ramble On', running over time and encoring with 'Bron-Y-Aur Stomp' and 'Gallows Pole'.
