Thread: Robert Plant - iTunes Music Festival

    Default Robert Plant - iTunes Music Festival

    Did anyone catch Robert Plant Monday? The mandolin is getting some love (lots of video time) on Gallows Pole. It starts 30 minutes in.

    If you have iTunes the video is featured right now.

    Watched it live on Monday - marvelous show. The Sensational Space Shifters are quite a band. I was really impressed with the way the African instruments were integrated with the more familiar ones.

    Me being the geek that I am, I was watching the live streaming of the "WWDC" (Apple World Wide Developer Conference) and they mentioned the iTunes festival (which I always forget about), so I went to iTunes to check it our and Robert Plant was featured.

    I thought that was a very cool choice of mandolin. It just goes to show.....

    Are these shows downloadable?
