The event will mark both the first trip to the awards and first performance for Robert Plant, who says: “I’m looking forward to being in Los Angeles, but musically — and spiritually — I expect we’ll be somewhere halfway between the Mississippi Delta and the Clinch Mountains.”

Wait a second, I thought Plant didn’t want to tour because he didn’t want to play the same old tired Zepplin songs.
Ya gotta give the crowd what they want. I think he didn’t want to tour with Zep because he didn’t want to do the songs the old way. You can only be a rock god for so long.
