Robert Plant, Alison Krauss deliver a lackluster show for fans at Frost Amphitheater on the Stanford University campus.
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss perform at Frost Amphitheater in Stanford, Calif., on Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024. Plant and Krauss released their first collaborative album, “Raising Sand,” way back in 2007. Technically speaking, that means that this pairing has now outlived Plant’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame act Led Zeppelin, which formed in 1968 and hung it up in 1980.
Plant and Krauss showed very little energy or, really, even joy as they opened the show — just like they did on “Raising Sand” — with the ’50s R&B number “Rich Woman” and then moved into the Allen Toussaint-penned “Fortune Teller.” “I’m not really good at doing this kind of between songs,” he explained. “I’m told it’s just better to be mystical.”
There was a certain slick sameness to everything they performed, with that steady alt-Americana vibe of T-Bone Burnett trumping any kind of mild variation of specific musical genres.
