They don’t make music like they used to !! The “classic” years were the best. What’s funny, is my kids will be singing a “classic” & I’ll start singing with them, they’ll look at me with this crazy look & say, “how you know the words to that song?” 😂😅🤣😂😂. Then ya got to start explaining….

As time goes on and I watch Plant in interviews, I've really grown to admire his intelligence and depth. He's far from a typical maniac drugged up drunken rock star...even when he did live that lifestyle, you watch the old interviews, he still displayed depth and intellect.

Still remembered he turned down a 700 million deal to do a reunion tour for a year with led. He claimed people redo the past because they are bored, not for the money. A little later he was seen playing a small pub. 👍

Robert is living proof that a close family loss stays close to the surface as you get on in years. It makes you all the more human... and Robert seems to be a gentle soul trying to examine and experience all that life can offer... it is reflected in his music.

“Meanderings from a guy who has his eyes open” is both a humble and profound description for the wealth of music Robert Plant has gifted to the world. Thank you 🙏

Probably one of the most humble, polite, down to earth , caring musician there has ever been. He will always be my favorite singer from my favorite band.

I always learn something from a Robert Plant interview. He speaks from the heart and is never full of himself.

Robert Plant's interviews with Dan Rather are always top notch. One can see that there is a mutual respect and liking between these two gentlemen. Dan Rather is still an insightful interviewer, calm and low key. It's always a pleasure to visit with him.

A very humble man, a very intelligent man, and lead singer with the best damned rock & roll band to ever draw breath. Could listen to him all night.

The way he says "I lost my boy" just cuts me deep every time as a father.

Plant is a fascinating character.

I passed bron y aur today on way to work.. By the mach bridge...being Welsh I love the fact that he loves wales... He's done more for Wales than any tourist board could do. 👍

I love Robert .. his thirst for life and music is undimmed by the passing of time .. he's playing age appropriate music with Saving Grace and it's truly wonderful.

I've always liked Robert, but I find him much more attractive physically and intellectually now than in the '70s.

I was born in 1968, my brother is 4yrs older and had all of Zeppelins albums. I would stare @ the album covers constantly & when I finally started to listen back then to today , and @ 55yrs old… they are the greatest Rock band I ever heard hands down! No other group has ever made my arm hair stand up till to this day… forever a fan till the very end! ✌🏻👍🏻🤟🏻🤘🏻 6:59

To think I was 75ft away from him and Jimmy when I sat 6th row from the stage at Chicago stadium in 1977, I feel like I know him. Watching him in this interview especially brings back those memories of the greatest concert I've ever been to. Led Zeppelin was such a huge influence on me. They were the number one influence on me. Hearing whole Lotta love for the first time when my brother played it for me just blew me away. Seeing song remains the same at the movie theater before I saw them live in Chicago just blew everybody away. Nobody could deny they were untouchable.

Led Zeppelin will always be the best. Robert Plant is still great. One doesn’t ever get over the loss of a child. You just learn to live with it each and every day because you have to, to survive.

The full interview was one of the most revealing and best interviews Robert participated in. Dan and his staff did a great job with questions.

I used to live a few miles from Rob and knew people who drank with him at the local. They're fond of him and he's just a fella who likes a beer and a chinwag. I can understand now why he still lives locally, he's a family man, connected to his roots and understands that for the most part he's just an ordinary fella. I've admired him from afar for those exact reasons. He sang at the King & Castle in 2007 with a zep tribute band and I lived just behind the pub......I was gutted I'd missed it.

Aw...my heart breaks for Robert Plant as he opens up about his boy and family....❤

Led Zeppelin is the greatest band in rock history ❤️🎶🤘

Lovely interview. Robert is a fantastic guy in his own right. I’ve toured with him for a bit and people don’t realize how sarcastically funny he is. He could’ve been a comedian bc he’s got a great , dry sense of humor and people gravitate to him like moths to a flame. I have so many more questions I’d like to ask him now tgat ive seen this. Karac lives on in Roberts heart always.

I met Robert Plant at Disneyworld of all places in 1977. He was with his family, including his dear son Karac. When I heard the the news I was devastated having seen the little guy just weeks before.

What a humble and genuine man Robert is, lovely guy.

As a 60 year old who still identifies as a punk rocker in heart, Led Zep 1 is unquestionably my favourite LP. It never gets old, it always sounds fresh. Perhaps the greatest RnR record ever. Over Elvis, Beatles, Stones, Stooges,Dead Boys, Bad Brains, White Stripes.

I´m 63 and LZ 1 to me is the best rock album ever recorded. I can listen to it every day, and always hear something new as a guitar player, even after 50+ years.. There is not one weak number - what a masterpiece 😍

Humble with confidence intelligent without arrogance graceful and warm

A gentleman & a scholar - 😊✨

I hear what Robert says, it resonates with me too. I love the way Robert deals with life, how he's followed his purpose, his destiny, his spirituality (the music). I'm part Welsh - I love the Welsh borders, mid and north Wales too. I've friends in the Midlands and I studied there, it's my second home. Yet my maternal Celtic Welsh ancestors came from Celts in France, so it's never just one thing or another being "British" or from Albion. On my paternal side, my ancestors ruled from Glastonbury to Rutland, Tolkien's "Dunadain", claimed descendancy from that saviour of humanity Thor, yet also brought the full bible from Egypt via Ireland, built the first Bath Abbey (and installed an ancestor sister Princess as first Abbess - Cathar style) and the first Gloucester cathedral, who, were loved by their people, melding 'pagan' with Christianity (from the holy lands - not Rome) and got on with the Welsh, sadly, the unholy Roman Empire decided to destroy all of that. Whilst I'm not a fan of the system of things here, in the UK (mainly based on Roman Empiric practices) the modern ways etc are not for me, the spiritual pull, the geophysical energy and pull of home is very strong. Sadly the lands of which I speak have seen the locals driven out (my ancestors will be turning in their tombs and burial mounds) by usurper kings and their sycophantic hangers on and their hangers on ad infinitum. That does sometimes make one want to leave, but the beauty and resonance of the place keeps one here, keeps calling. You can hear it in Zeppelin's work and in RPs work, I guess that's why I'm a fan too✌️👍💜

Love Robert Plant, he’s so real and lives his life well🥰🤗He is just incredible 🎶

How you can not just love this Legend.. .Robert is an Inspiration .....

I would imagine an impromptu casual conversation with Mr. Plant, not knowing nor caring as to whom he really is, would be an experience one would remember the rest of his life.. Funny, witty, interesting and highly intelligent..

Robert Plant’s wisdom is what I seek to achieve with my time on earth.

Its so satisfying to see someone whoms music meant so much to you turn out alright in life, while being humble, brilliant and at peace with his life. So glad I got to see them in 95 in Atlanta

Love Dan Rather's interviews!!

Such a legend..always will be ❤️

I had the good fortune to meet Robert Plant here in Toronto more than 40 years ago. I found him to be a rather down to earth character with a profound love for music. We had a good long chat and then it was time for him to skip off to Q107, our local rock radio station for an interview.

We will never again have the immense musical talent that came from this generation.... Plant, McCartney, Lennon, Gilmour, so many... I feel honored to have experienced this music during my lifetime ❤

Blessed with having seen Mr. Plant with my Grandson this summer. It was my grandson's first concert and he is Autistic. He loved it. So in all fairness next we saw Post Malone...sad that so many in this generation don't know who Mr. Plant is. He IS an Icon and a Legend.

Robert is and will always be my favorite singer. He turned me on to hundreds of artists and I’ll always be grateful

Dan is the greatest interviewer of Rock legends. Rock on Dan. Great respect.

Was this done recently? Isn't he in his 90s? What a legend himself.

These two guys! Proof we should listen to our elders,I reckon👍

I am from the same area in the UK as Robert, support the same football team, love Led Zep and his solo material. The most remarkable thing about him to those that don't know is what an absolutely wonderful, absorbing, gentle, humble soul he is. It's no wonder that he is part of that magnificent music. A great man.

Robert Plant. From 'Pictures at Eleven' to Zep, to Alison Krauss. Ome of my favorite singers, and an absolute legend.

A friend of mine owns a spiritual bookstore in Cambridge Massachusetts. In the mid 2000's, he had just unlocked the door to open up and went about doing his work. About a half hour later, this guy with long hair comes in and was looking at the various array of crystals and stones. He said to himself, "That looks like Robert Plant." Well, it was. They chatted a bit and he went on his way. Real nice guy. I think he was on tour with Allison Krauss during that period.

I was fortunate enough to see Led Zeppelin play two shows in San Antonio in the early seventies. They were unbelievable, unbelievable.

A quintessential artist and storyteller, Robert Plant. Interesting, inspiring, unique, talented and accomplished, yet humble and grounded. And Dan Rather conducts the interview with skill, wisdom and experience. Great stuff.

Very organic interview with both men in their element.

I wish this was longer.

These cats raised us on some of the greatest rock ever played! We kept the Juke Boxes full of dimes and quarters rocking on Led Zeppelin. Thank you! ❤

My impression is that Robert Plant is someone that if you're lucky you'll meet once in your lifetime.

Robert Plant is Remarkable. I love this sensitive man. From Paris, thank you so much for this documentary.

many Thanks from my heart, Robert 🤗

Robert Plant one of a kind, very smart and talented singer whose music has rock my world for the past 40 + years. Great interview good to see and listen to Robert.

I love this man, he's honest and uncomplecated.

Loved this interview, its fantastic when the person asking questions sets them up for a honest answer. I could have listened for hours, we all know Robert but we really don't know the man behind the songs and for me that is very interesting. I was just getting into this and it ended, wish it was longer.

He’s a thinker that Robert Plant, thanks for all you brought to the table, Mr Plant, the lyrics, the phrasing in your singing, all of it awesome and so inspiring for us beginners in music!

I think that one of the reasons why Robert left Austin which he didn't mention is the attention he would get from a lot the young college kids and residents. I'm seem to remember him saying once at times he didn't feel he could go anywhere there which if true would make sense when your older. Zepp had such a huge impact on American culture it makes sense.

What an absolute inspiration of a person! You can tell he's very much into more cerebral things. It's the first interview Ive ever seen of him and it's impressive. He seems so regal. I love his music. Why didn't I research into his life and music more.?! It's never too late to start I guess, hey! Thank you for changing the world with your music. We are truely honoured to hear you all and I will be passing Ur songs on to my children. Thank you all xx 🧑‍🎤
