Notes by the uploader
The first paragraph below is the most important of these notes, please take note and extend your thanks.

Without the help of Sylvia (SCDEGRAAF), this would not be here in such good shape. My part was easy, I just stood there, enjoyed the show, and recorded it. Sylvia did all the editing and all the tweaks. I cannot thank her enough for all her help and guidance.

So after 40+ years attending some of the most amazing music events I finally decided to give this taping lark a go. A very special lady bought me the equipment for my birthday, and it just so happened that we were amongst the lucky few (400) to be attending the live debut of Robert Plant's latest incarnation, The Sensational Space Shifters. As stated earlier, I was forced to use the internal mics as my externals haven't arrived yet.

So we turned up at the venue, a tiny but beautiful hall in the middle of the shopping precinct of a small town to find we were about 6th in line. It was a general admission show, all standing, and this is where my confession comes in. I just couldn't resist standing on the rail, immediately below Mr Plant's microphone, therefore sacrificing recording quality for my own personal gain. I apologise (a bit) for that, but how often do you get that chance?

At 9pm the lights went down and on they came. It was obvious from the way he was dressed this was to be a very relaxed, almost loose, performance. Did I hear someone say a paid for rehearsal? I've seen him on many occasions, but never have I seen him dressed in a plain T-shirt and training shoes. The look was soon forgotten as the music started, almost a wall of sound led by Mr Plants wonderful vocals. Throughout the show the whole band just looked happy to be there and having a huge amount of fun. Judging the reaction of the crowd the feeling was mutual.
